Apple News Plus has seen over 200,000 subscribers already sign up to the iOS news app, in its opening two days on the app store. With over one billion active iOS devices in use – across smartphones, tablets, and computers – that’s around 0.02% of current Apple consumers signing up to the service. Apple New Plus costs $9.99 a month in the US ($12.99 in Canada), where it launched on March 25 – which is less than many of these outlets would charge for a standalone subscription. The service has only

WhatsApp has announced that it will now allow users to control who is able to add them to group chats on the popular instant messaging app. To do this, you’ll need to go open the app, and head to Settings > Privacy > Groups, where you’ll be able to choose from the three options. You’ll then have 72 hours to decide whether you’d like to join the group chat before the link is deactivated. Making WhatsApp a friendlier placeVentureBeat reported that the new privacy feature is currently being rolled

As an April Fools ‘stunt’ Google has hidden the classic game Snake in its Google Maps – but you need to know where to look if you want to play. How to play Google Maps Snake on Android or iOSYou’re going to need the Google Maps app to play Snake on Android or iOS, but it comes pre-installed on Android phones (as well as being a hugely popular iPhone app) so most of you will have all you need to play already… as long as you’ve updated the app lately. In Google Maps, press the menu button in the

Obsidian’s upcoming sci-fi RPG, The Outer Worlds, is set to release some time in 2019 on PC, Xbox, and PS4 – and we now have a 20-minute gameplay demo to pore over until it does. And so far, it looks like The Outer Worlds will be cramming in as much humor as possible. Facial capture still seems slightly wooden in the demo (compared to the animations in The Outer Worlds announcement trailer ) but there’s a slick veneer to the character models and environments. You can see for yourself in the demo

UPDATE: We now have official pricing for the Mega Drive Mini in the UK, Europe and Australia – details below. We’ve known for some time now that Sega was planning on releasing a Genesis Mini retro console, but up until now details have been thin on the ground. We do now finally have a release date for the box: September 19. The Sega Genesis Mini will hit stores for $79.99 (£69.99/€79.99/AU$139.95). Finally, Sega did say that the M2 studio behind some of its retro game reboots would be taking car

It’s not been an easy couple of years for Facebook in terms of user privacy and data security and everything else, but the giant social network seems determined to start sorting out at least some of its problems. TechCrunch reports on an open letter published by Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, in which she says the platform is “exploring restrictions” for limiting who can launch livestreams. The letter comes in response to the terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which w

But over the past few years, scientists have learned to their surprise that the solar system used to look very different indeed. The Late Bombardment PeriodWe know the formation of the early solar system must have been a violent place, filled with rock and debris flying everywhere. This week a study to be published Astronomy & Astrophysics modeled how Jupiter may have moved in the early solar system. The idea fell out of favor, and now mainstream science believes the asteroid belt is just remnan

The Nvidia Shield TV was one of the first Android TV boxes to hit the market and it remains one of the best. XDA Developers reports that the Shield’s latest code refers to a controller called “Stormcaster” and a remote called “Friday”, which may be replacements for the current input devices that are available for the Shield TV. The Shield TV box got a refresh in 2017 but the controller and remote remain the same as they were back in 2015 when the box first appeared (you get the remote included a

It wasn’t going to be especially far away: around 150 miles, but that puts it well above the Kármán line and therefore technically in outer space. In the same report, the UN noted that “most [theoretical] space advertising is likely to greatly outlast the enterprise that launched it”. The FAA has effectively banned obtrusive space advertising, defined as “advertising in outer space that is capable of being recognized by a human being on the surface of the Earth without the aid of a telescope or

On the other hand, a free VPN can easily find itself in a tight spot right from the start. The ‘gateway’ VPNIn some cases, such as Windscribe or Tunnelbear, the free VPN service that is offered is piggybacked onto the infrastructure of the firm’s paid VPN offering. A free VPN can potentially collect all kinds of data on you, including your email, location, cell phone number, and browsing data. Yet with one free VPN provider, HolaVPN, this is exactly what happened. The user is being tracked and l

There had been whispers that Valve was working on its own virtual reality headset, having previously launched VR kit in partnership with HTC, and now those rumors have turned into a real product: the Valve Index. However, the name is just about all we know about the new VR headset for now. There’s more choice than ever for discerning consumers but it means the Valve Index is going to be up against some stiff competition when it sees the light of day. What seem to be two sensors can be seen at th

That isn’t to say that the competition is resting however, and Google in 2019 really needs to keep on its feet if the Pixel line is to meet expectations with its next iteration, the Pixel 4. Google Pixel 4 news and rumorsAt this stage, it is highly probable that the Google Pixel 4 is still in the latter stages of development and is yet to enter production. Beyond these images, we’ve also seen a Geekbench benchmark possibly for the Google Pixel 4. What we want to seeThough nothing is yet known fo

Whoops, Google might’ve just leaked the new Nest Hub Max, a new smart speaker that has a 10-inch HD screen, a built-in Nest security camera and stereo speakers. The description for the new smart home hub appeared for a brief moment on Google’s Connected Home section of its storefront before it was spotted by Android Police, who was kind enough to take screenshots of the product before Google scrambled all the information. According to the information Android Police found, the speaker looks like

We’ve been checking for the Apple AirPower release date every day, but there’s no need to do that anymore, as Apple has officially canceled the project altogether. AirPower, the wireless charging mat Apple revealed a year and a half ago, first showed up at the iPhone X launch event. It promised to Qi-charge three devices at once anywhere you laid them down on the mat. Well, over the last 18 months, we went without an official AirPower status update and never got our hands-on time with the ambiti

The smart home seems to be the space every major tech company wants to occupy, and it appears that Nvidia may be next in line. Evidence of a smart speaker-like device with holographic capabilities from Nvidia was spotted by an anonymous source for Wccftech. Not implausible for an AI powerhouseWhile Nvidia hasn’t announced a standalone smart home device, it wouldn’t be a stretch for the company to give it a shot. With the Nvidia Shield TV, it already has an entrance into smart home, but leverages

Space flight isn’t just about adventures in sleek rockets – astronauts are humans after all. Although the mental health of astronauts was less of a concern in the early days of the space race, luckily NASA, ESA and space agencies all over the world have been switched onto the toll space flight can take on mental wellbeing since the 1990s. But how can space agencies ensure the wellbeing of astronauts is prioritised on such high-pressure missions that go where no one has gone before? It involves f

Bethesda dropped a mountain of information today regarding its upcoming shooter Wolfenstein: Youngblood, along with an absolutely glorious story trailer that shows off the game’s co-operative focus and Nazi-killing action. Buddy passes may also be given out to multiple friends, however, only one person may play along with the game’s owner at any given time. Set in Nazi-occupied Paris during the 1980s, Wolfenstein: Youngblood sees our usual protagonist, BJ Blazkowicz, missing in action, leading h

These glasses (or smart eyewear, as Huawei refers to them), are made in partnership with Korean fashion brand Gentle Monsters. Huawei’s smart eyewear release date is set for July 2019, but there’s currently no word on how much they’ll cost. DesignThe idea of Huawei smart eyewear are they’re glasses first and smart second, which means they look and feel like an ordinary pair of glasses.
