Microsoft's Windows Phone Platform Is Dead

Ammalgam writes: Tom Warren at the Verge today gave voice to what a lot of other technology analysts and today definitively declared that Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform is dead. This largely based on the abysmal adoption numbers released in Microsoft’s most recent earnings report. Mr. Warren articulates the obvious by stating: “With Lumia sales on the decline and Microsoft’s plan to not produce a large amount of handsets, it’s clear we’re witnessing the end of Windows Phone.

Anti-GMO research may be based on manipulated data

An ongoing investigation at the University of Naples in Italy is looking into allegations that some studies of genetically modified crops included data that was manipulated to make it appear that the consumption of GMOs is harmful to mammals. Frederico Infascelli, the researcher who led these studies, claims that the allegations are false, but evidence has surfaced of widespread image manipulation in his work.

Genetically modified crops, more commonly known as genetically modified organisms or GMOs, have been…

Intel Gets Called Out Again For Their M.I.A. 3.0 X.Org Driver

An anonymous reader writes: The xf86-video-intel 3.0 DDX driver has been in development the past two and a half years without seeing an official release. The last development release even of xf86-video-intel 3.0 Git was 13 months ago with the xf86-video-intel 2.99.917 release. At that time it was said by Intel’s lead DDX developer, “3 months have passed, we should make one more snapshot before an imminent release.” Since then, there’s been no communications about a stable release of this DDX…

Augmented Reality Rock Climbing Turns a Sport Into a Videogame

A few months ago, we showed you a video made by Brooklyn Boulders of the gym’s Augmented Reality rock climbing wall. A coder created a program that turned the ordinary wall into a real-life video game, where you could rack up points as you scaled up and across the vertical face. Now, Brooklyn Boulders is working with the creator of the game, Jon Cheng (a member who runs his startup Randoori) to implement it in their gyms.

Cronofy, The Calendar API Helping Businesses Keep Customer And Staff Diaries In Sync, Scores $1.6M

Cronofy, the U.K. startup that offers a calendar API to help businesses and their customers synchronise calendars, has raised a $1.6 million seed round led by Firestartr alongside Amsterdam-based venture capital firm henQ.

Three Reasons Why Open Source Will Have A Great 2016

When Netscape released its Web browser’s source code to the public in 1998, it seemed like a Hail Mary move for a company embattled by Microsoft.

Now barely a week goes by without a commercial tech company announcing the launch of a new platform, app or extension—and its source code. Among them is Microsoft, a company whose then-CEO, Steve Ballmer, called the open-source Linux operating system a “cancer” in 2001.

In the last year we’ve seen Apple release the code behind the Swift programming language; Google, TensorFlow, a…

Droneboarding needs bigger drones or smaller humans

Okay, there’s a lot going on here so let’s break things down. Is it impractical to use quadcopters to tow a toddler on a snowboard? Yes, very. Did the battery on the drone in this video last long? Probably not. Did the kid go very fast? He’s barely moving. Is this a great idea? Of course, of course, of course.

Using a consumer grade drone to tow people on snow (or on water?) makes about as much sense as strapping a giant fan to someone’s back while they’re paragliding — but people do that and it looks like…

The organization says that the potential for a chain-reaction fire to break out from just one malfunctioning lithium-ion battery means that batches shouldn’t be allowed into the hold on passenger flights. Its…

US Commerce Department wants courts to be kinder, gentler to file sharers

A US Department of Commerce task force recommended Thursday that Congress alter the Copyright Act in a bid that likely would reduce financial damages for file sharing copyright scofflaws.

The recommendations from the agency’s Internet Policy Task Force don’t call for doing away with the maximum $150,000 in damages available to rights holders per infringement. But if Congress adopts the task force’s recommendations, it’s doubtful there would be large awards, as one of the recommendations would require juries to…

Folding offshore wind turbines could power 10,000 US homes

Such “exascale” turbines, called segmented ultralight morphing rotors (SUMRs), are over six times the size of the largest existing models. Thanks to economies of scale, a single unit could power around 10,000 homes. “The U.S. has great offshore wind energy potential, but offshore installations are expensive, so larger turbines are needed to capture that energy at an affordable cost,” says Sandia’s lead turbine designer Todd Griffith.

However, offshore winds can hit 200 mph and easily knock over a turbine. As a result,…

Clive Owen Joins Andrew Niccol’s Next Project ‘Anon’

Calling Anon writer-director Andrew Niccol‘s next project might be a bit presumptuous. Like a lot of directors, he’s had casts assemble for past projects that never came to fruition. Remember that high-concept film he had going with Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel, and Olga Kurylenko in the works? All directors have projects stall, of course, but it’s especially noticeable in the case of Niccol; it took six years for him to follow up Lord of War.

It’s hard to believe, but as of this month, I’ve been the owner of an SEO and online marketing agency for 10 short, yet very long years.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably “in the industry,” or at least aspire to be — so you don’t need me to tell you how difficult it can be to attract and retain quality employees in an ever-evolving, high-stakes and fast-paced work environment.

It’s certainly something my leadership team and I have spent countless hours trying to figure…

You showed us your Dragon's Dogma pawns and Arisen

On Friday we asked you to show us your Dragon’s Dogma characters: the heroic Arisen you control and the trustworthy pawn who fights by your side. In Dragon’s Dogma, the design of your main pawn is especially important, because other players can recruit it to help them on your own journeys. Stats may matter most, but some players call this game Fashion’s Dogma for a reason: the more your pawn stands out, the more likely they are to be recruited and return with goodies and new information.

The submissions are in, so…

A Seinfeld Superfan Recounted The Entire Keith Hernandez Episode In An Advice Column Letter

Jerry Seinfeld’s famed television show is known for many things. Outrageous plots. Crazy main characters. Even crazier supporting characters. But, one thing that it hasn’t been known for, so far, is tricking people into thinking it’s real. Now, someone who’s written into an advice column is able to say that they can finally take credit for that.

Amy Dickinson, the Chicago Tribune nationally syndicated advice columnist behind “Ask Amy,” received a letter that she readily describes on her blog as leading to her…

Competitive TF2 confirmed, beta group now open

The longevity of Team Fortress 2 continues to astound me. It became free in 2011, but still Valve is grinding out updates (494 patches as of May 2015), reaping the benefits of the virtual hat trade. The coming months will be huge for Team Fortress: the long-rumoured competitive matchmaking has been confirmed, and a Steam group has been set up to coordinate beta invites.

Matchmaking was brought up in a visit to Valve HQ by the community at teamfortress.tv in April last year. To their surprise, Valve was right…

Why X-Files Episodes Are Airing Out Of Their Original Order

We are only two glorious episodes into FOX’s return to the land of The X-Files, but already there’s a little bit of controversy surrounding the show. It appears that things have been shuffled a bit, and the episodes are actually airing in an order other than the one that was originally intended. Creator Chris Carter has now stepped up to put an end to any fears that the new The X-Files might be in some kind of trouble.

Because we have a story arc that runs through the middle of the series…we were concerned…

Torment: Tides of Numenera is now in Early Access

InXile’s party-based RPG Torment: Tides of Numenera went into beta last week—provided, that is, that you’d backed the game on Kickstarter at a level that offered beta access as a reward. For everyone else, it was tough noogies until today. But now the game is live on Early Access, and if you just can’t wait until it’s finished to play it, you can leap into the action right now.

The Early Access release weighs in at an estimated ten hours of play, a sizable chunk for a beta but still a relatively small…

Former Burnout devs announce Burnout-esque Golf game

Three Fields Entertainment, which is comprised of ex-Burnout dev members, have announced a new game that appears to combine the insanity of the Burnout series with golf, called Dangerous Golf.

Dangerous Golf is described as a “serious golf game as Burnout was a serious simulation to driving games.” The title is an irreverent, silly, fun approach to golf games that will challenge players to break the rules and wreak havoc across over 100 holes across four locations you wouldn’t expect to play golf. Players can…

There have been some murmurs of doubt within the Far Cry player community. Fans of the franchise are worried that Far Cry: Primal isn’t a full-on Far Cry game. Well, worry not; lead writer Kevin Shortt is here to calm you.

“For us, Primal is a full on Far Cry. The main campaign is around 30 hours, we’ve created a whole new world, new flora and fauna,” he says. “It’s a full game, and so if anyone has doubts about that, they just spend a bit of time in the game to realise it’s…

How Arnold Schwarzenegger's Twins 2, Or Triplets, Wants To Use Eddie Murphy

Some sequels are too awesome to happen in a timely manner, and the folks behind Triplets are certainly hoping this statement holds true for their purposes. The time between Twins and its recently active sequel may prove to have been beneficial to the film’s plot, as Eddie Murphy’s potential role looks to use that gap as a catalyst for more laughs. 

During a special black tie event overseas, Schwarzenegger gave some updates on the long developing Triplets, and how Murphy would fit into the project. Fan site The Arnold…

Hard Reset Redux is on the way

I like Hard Reset, the 2011 FPS from Flying Wild Hog, and the first two sentences of our review explains why: “Bezoar isn’t a city. It’s an explosion with streets.” It’s a silly game, with an inexplicable dedication to an utterly incomprehensible story—I know what it’s about, but I’m still not entirely sure what actually happened—and, as we said in the review, the gameplay slides into a “wash, rinse, repeat” exercise in repetition in fairly short order. But by gosh, the stuff in it blows up real…

Far Cry Primal preview: Tribal Warfare

For Ubisoft’s last outing in the Far Cry franchise, it dove into a plot surrounding complex and charismatic characters. There was social and political intrigue, wrapped in a tale of revolution and shaping the future of the world. The upcoming Far Cry Primal, on the other hand, appears to aim much simpler than that with its story and that’s something to be expected, given the game’s setting. This isn’t the uncertain, complex, morally grey modern period. This is the prehistoric era. The only goal is to survive.

Queen Cersei Reads The Craziest Insults From The Bachelor

When Lena Headey appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Kimmel convinced her to read insults from The Bachelor as Queen Cersei. That means being as cold as a White Walker’s tit and holding a goblet of wine, of course.

If you haven’t watched The Bachelor, you might be shocked by the malicious things that come out of contestants’ mouths. You think Game of Thrones is bloody and vicious? That’s just a bunch of people fighting over control of a kingdom. The Bachelor is about a group of intoxicated idiots living in the…

Taron Egerton Talks ‘Kingsman 2,’ Promises an “International Story” and Other Spy-ish Things

Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of the more pleasant surprises of 2014, a darkly comedic riff on spy movie archetypes that took a swing at every single possible target and still managed to become a surprise box office smash. We’ve known that a sequel was in the works for some time now, but now star Taron Egerton has spoken about the next film from the Sundance Film Festival, where his new movie, Eddie the Eagle, played as a secret screening.

Introduction to Mobile Design Usability

With the exponential development of mobile devices in terms of numbers and in terms of functionality, the rapid growth of mobile sites is nothing but logical.

Just a few years ago not many companies bothered to have a mobile site but now the trend has been reversed and it’s more of an exception than a rule not to have a mobile site. However, mobile sites have their specifics and when basic mobile usability principles are not followed, the results can be disastrous.
