NVIDIA Releases GeForce Experience 3.0, Boasts An Entirely Revamped Interface
Out of nowhere (or, it was at least unknown to me), NVIDIA released a brand-new version of its GeForce Experience application yesterday. This isn’t just some standard update: it’s a complete overhaul, a “building from the ground up”. For that reason, it’s also been given a new major version number: 3.0. I’ve…..
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Scores DirectX 12 Patch, But Don’t Expect Anything Significant
The long-awaited DirectX 12 patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has arrived, and as much as I hate to admit it, it couldn’t be more underwhelming. The lone DX12 feature included here is the fact that the API is supported; that means performance might be improved in some cases, but the visuals…..

Qualcomm Announces VR Reference Platform: Snapdragon VR820
At IFA, Qualcomm announced a new platform that makes us question: “What took so long?” You might recall that last fall, the company announced a reference platform for drones, called Snapdragon Flight. That was a good launch, but it definitely made us question where a VR reference platform was; after all, Qualcomm’s…..
Sony Increasing Already Overpriced PlayStation Plus Subscription Fees
It might be obvious from the title that this is going to be a little bit of a rant – and that’d be accurate. I have never liked Microsoft’s or Sony’s requirement for paid subscriptions in order for gamers to play with their friends online, but Sony’s brand-new price hike for PlayStation…..

Opinion: Leave The 3.5mm Audio Jack Alone!
It’s rant time. Apple has pretty much confirmed that it’s dropping the humble 3.5mm audio jack from its upcoming iPhone, replacing it with the digital-only Lightning connector. Now it’s Intel’s turn by talking up the benefits of USB Type-C replacing the ubiquitous audio connector too. Apple, Intel, can we please stop this…..

No Linux Here: Google Begins Development On New Operating System ‘Fuchsia’
A brand-new project on Google’s Git website has surfaced, and for a number of different reasons, it’s extremely notable. First, it’s an operating system, called Fuchsia.

Apple Announces Long Awaited (But Invite Only) Bug Bounty Program At Black Hat
At this point in time, it’s almost expected that any large corporation that produces software would have a bug bounty program. Google has one, and so does Microsoft. Even Mozilla has one. Who hasn’t? Apple. That changes today, and as if it wants to prove that it’s serious about it, the company…..
Believe It Or Not: Randomly Dropped Malicious USB Flash Drives Still A Real Problem
Considering the fact that it’s 2016, it might be easy to assume that most people out there understand the basics of PC security, such as: don’t pick up a random flash drive and plug it in. That has been an established issue, but it hasn’t been that common in the real-world. Google…..

OnePlus 3 Selling A Little Too Well In Some Countries
It appears that OnePlus’ latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 3, is selling a little too well in select countries. “Too well” isn’t a bad thing, of course, but when it results in inventory depletion, it’s not great for those who’ve been holding out for one. On its official forums, OnePlus co-founder Carl…..
