'The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild' Fixes Some Of Gaming's Biggest Flaws
Nintendo Zelda shows us a new way. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is a surprising video game. Surprising because it builds off of modern game design sensibilities while at the same time subverting those sensibilities, turning them on their proverbial heads. Now we have no choice. We're forced to look at open-world video games differently now, through a new lens. Game designers should study the game carefully as well. It's a game changer, or at least I hope it is. I read with great ..>> view originalShould Snap buy Twitter?
Now that Snap is flush with public dollars, the question becomes: How to spend it? One suggestion floated as a “what if” scenario among armchair executives in banking, finance and tech over the weekend is that Snap could make a bid for Twitter. To be clear, we have not heard any sources tell us that the two companies are in talks. And reached for comment, Snap said BLAH, and Twitter said BLEURGH (actually Snap didn’t respond to a request for comment and Twitter declined to comment). But there’..>> view originalIBM, Salesforce Agree to Partner on Artificial Intelligence
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Salesforce.com Inc. (CRM) agreed to mingle their artificial-intelligence technologies in a bid to boost sales of data-analytics offerings. The companies Monday announced plans to offer integrated AI services that weave the broad human-like conversation and learning capabilities of IBM's Watson with Salesforce's more sales-oriented Einstein technology. The new offerings, available in the second half of the year, are aimed at helping a wide variety ..>> view originalThis self-driving van concept from Volkswagen looks like a pissed-off toaster
This is Sedric, Volkswagen's newest concept for the future of autonomous driving. Sedric (as in self-driving car, get it?) is fully autonomous, meaning it has no steering wheel or pedals, and it can be summoned at the push of a button for ride-hailing ...>> view originalNintendo Switch Joy-Cons Can Connect To Your PC, Mac, And Android
We've already learned that the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller can connect to your PC, but YouTube user DreWoof confirmed yesterday it's also possible to pair Joy-Cons to your other devices via Bluetooth as well.As the video above shows, because Joy-Cons use Bluetooth to communicate with the Switch, they can also be paired as controllers to other Bluetooth-capable devices. At this stage, each Joy-Con will pair as a single controller, meaning it's only possible to use one each for two-player game..>> view originalUh, Google has some interesting thoughts on Obama plotting a coup
As the debate surrounding the prevalence, scope and impact of fake news continues to rage on unabated, the latest tech company being accused of passively enabling misinformation to spread far and wide is Google. In a fascinating post over at The Outline, Adrianne Jeffries explains how the answer boxes provided by Google Search (also known as Featured Snippets) are often dead wrong. Compounding matters is that Google’s answer boxes enjoy premium placement above actual search results, thereby aff..>> view originalThe Sonos Playbase is a $700 speaker that sits under your TV

Google Pixel 2 Phones May Ship Without A 3.5mm Headset Jack If a new rumor is to be believed, the Google Pixel 2 might not sport a 3.5mm headphone jack. This information comes from 9to5Google, and such info is, allegedly, mentioned in an internal Google, though that document cannot be publicly shared. So, unfortunately, we do not have any proof of this at the moment, though if this information is accurate, we’ll probably not only see more info about it in the near future.

Two weeks ago, on its fourth quarter earnings call, analysts grilled Fitbit about its product release cycle and wondered whether Fitbit would be putting out a new fitness tracker this spring, just like it did last year. Turns out Fitbit did have ...>> view originalNier: Automata: The Kotaku Review
Nier: Automata begins as a scrolling shooter. Then it’s a twin-stick shooter, a third-person action RPG and a 2.5D platformer. It’s equal parts comedy and tragedy. It’s a game that’s whatever it needs to be at any particular moment to be completely amazing. There’s nothing simple about Nier: Automata, but I will attempt to simplify. Nier: Automata is an action role-playing game, developed by PlatinumGames and directed by developer Yoko Taro. Taro is the man behind Square Enix’s Drakengard serie..>> view original
