    Google kills Google Inbox

    ***Insert Michael Scott's Nooooo GIF here*** I've been using inbox since day one and it has been my go to email client on every new device. IMO, inbox still feels way more intuitive and offers better user experience than anything I've tried. This is so sad, because email clients are usually...

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider hands-on: Lara Croft brings about the Mayan apocalypse

    Day one buy for me. Both games in the reboot are some of my favorite games this generation. Delaying ROTR on PS4 was a dumb decision, and probably they learned their lesson.

    Galaxy S9+ review—Faster specs, better biometrics in a familiar package

    I was skeptical about Samsung devices for number of years, and my last samsung phone was Note 4, and my main complaint about that phone was software experience. And since then, I moved to Nexus ecosystem, but 6P was final nail in the coffin. And after using Note 8 for a brief amount of time...

    Xbox One X review: An exclamation point for hardware, a question mark for software

    Words and numbers mean very little if you don't deliver the most important aspect of any console: exciting/exclusive games. PS4 and Switch may not be as powerful as One X, but with Nintendo and Sony there's a guarantee that they can deliver stunning exclusives, and it's not the same case with MS...

    Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus review: A few bumps on the road to epic combat

    Liked first game and will be getting my copy from BestBuy today. I almost lost track of how good 2017 has been for single-player games, as 3 more launching today. Bethesda publishes some of the finest single player experiences and I hope they continue to do so.

    The Pixel 2 XL price jumps $100, now starts at $849

    I recently dropped Project Fi (after 2+ years) as my 6P getting ridiculously slow and battery life got to a point where it’s beyond intolerable. Also, Project Fi seriously lacking options to easily switch to a different phone and it probably has least supported devices out of all MVNO’s. Plan...

    LG V30 hands on—LG’s OLED displays still have quality issues

    Skepticisms towards every android flagship is not only important but it is also essential, as the ecosystem it self is way too big (without any centralized control, like Apple) and any minor error could burn pockets of millions consumers. And Ars always did a great job at covering android phones...

    Samsung Galaxy S8 review: Shiny new hardware meets old software habits

    Over the years, Samsung tried to replicate every important feature from competitor's handbook, except for OTA updates. I'm still waiting for Samsung to take control of OTA updates and I won't be buying another Samsung phone until they do it. My Note 4 on AT&T still stuck on lollipop and I'm not...

    CNN has a great eye for spotting hacks and employing them, and they didn't miss mark with this one. I'm good as long as his videos doesn't show up in my YouTube feed.

    Batman V Superman: The Showgirls of superhero films

    This! Looks like the Ars reviewer spent too much time doing moral policing, he doesn't have time to understand the most basic things about the movie. And it is laughable how people talking about film's merit by 'watching' trailers.

    DICE bait: How open-world adventures took over gaming’s academy awards

    Rocket League offered a great relief (from RPG's and FPS) and a distinctive game play with decent multiplayer experience. It is highly addictive and at the same time, you don't have to invest too much of your time as each match last 5-6 min and you will get decent amount of entertainment. I...

    As Google Fiber hits Atlanta, Comcast says, “don’t fall for the hype”

    2 year mobile contracts and hi-speed internet data caps, both...are the same guy. Both were waiting for someone to break into the game and change the rules. And both T-Mobile and Google Fiber are doing exactly the same.
