Fallout 4

It's Official: Fallout 4 Announcement Is Coming Tomorrow

By:- Avinash Kumar

There have been so many leaks and teasers over the last couple years, false, true, and somewhere in between, that the slow, inevitable push towards an actual announcement has been agonizing at times. But it’s coming. Bethesda just put a Fallout-style countdown timer on its website (thats fallout.bethsoft.com, for anyone needing further confirmation), and it promises something coming our way tomorrow morning. If this isn’t Fallout 4, Bethesda better have acquired the rights to The Last Guardian and Half Life 3, both. What remains to be seen is what form the announcement will take: Bethesda is holding its first-ever press conference at E3 in two weeks, so it’s going to have to leave some Fallout 4 for that.

For those unfamiliar, Fallout is Bethesda’s open world, post apocalyptic RPG, the developer having picked up the rights to the series with Fallout 3. Anyone for whom Skyrim was their first experience with Bethesda games will be glad to know that these two are basically the same series, taking all the same open world exploration cues, just in radically different settings.

We don’t know a whole lot about Fallout 4 yet, but early rumors strongly point to the game being set in Boston, which features heavily in Fallout lore. This will be Bethesda’s first outing on the Xbox One and PS4, and I’d be shocked if the developer also releases for Xbox 360 and PS3. For that reason, we’re likely getting a whole new engine to go along with the title, updating the graphics and hopefully adding in current-gen standards like seamless transitions from interiors to exteriors. Graphics technology is hugely important for Bethesda games, especially considering their first-person perspective, and so facelifts actually go a long way to changing the way the game feels and plays: just look at the difference between Oblivion and Skyrim. There’s bound to be a whole lot more changes as well, but we’ll wait until tomorrow to find out.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Cool Down

Cool Down Your Android Phone With a Tap An overheating phone is bad news for your battery life, your palms and the internal components inside your device. Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is EaseUS Coolphone and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
