Over the past few years, there has been more than one large-scale internet tribute to the most storied franchises in video gaming. Pokemon were cited in town, and just last year, Google was converting regions of the world into a Pac-Man fantasy. Today however, gives birth to what may arguably be the coolest creation ever conceived: two fans of Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series have re-created the entire original game in 3D with Java for internet browsers.
Although there have been two new iterations in the Galaxy S lineup since its launch, the Galaxy S4 is still a great device. For those who are on AT&T’s network and still own this device, you should be getting a nice update sometime in the near future. AT&T has just begun pushing out Android 5.0.1 Lollipop to the Samsung Galaxy S4. The update, which is 947MB in size, carries build number LRX22C.1337UCUGOC3.
Multiple other Samsung devices have already gotten the Lollipop update including the Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3 and 4, and some variants of the Galaxy Note Edge.
Digital privacy is a hot topic. We have moved into an era where almost everyone carries a connected device. Everyone has a camera. Many of our daily activities — from riding the bus to accessing our bank accounts — are done online. The question arises, “who is keeping track of all that data?”
Some of the world’s biggest tech companies are under scrutiny about how they use our data. What does Google know about you?
Thanks to increasing concerns over security and privacy — not least our mental health — the idea of deleting oneself from the internet has never been a hotter topic. Yet that process is complex: the internet is a vast space and some of us have left decades of digital footprints.
If you’ve been thinking about removing yourself from the internet or perhaps just deleting some old online accounts, we have some advice on how to get started.
It’s game day this weekend as we are about to unfold some of the hottest, newest, and simply irresistible games from the Google Play Store. This is an early Christmas gift for everyone.
Get ready, because these 9 irresistible games will have you:
steal luxurious cars; save world leaders from terrorists; buy property and earn money; fight against armies to end a war; lead an armed revolution; strengthen and defend your castle; squash clay monsters; defy the laws of physics to escape from your cell; and defeat your foes by matching basic elements.

TL;DR
Samsung’s mobile chief apparently made two trips to the US to secure more chipset volume. It’s claimed that an unnamed global chipmaker refused Samsung’s request. Now, The Elec reports that the situation became so dire for Samsung that mobile chief TM Roh made two trips to the US earlier this year to ask an unnamed global chipmaker (presumably Qualcomm) for more processors. Sources told the outlet that Roh made a trip in March and another in July to request more chips, but it’s claimed that Roh’s request was denied.
Samsung is expanding its lineup of budget A-series smartphones in India. After launching the Galaxy A10s in India just last month, the company has now launched the Galaxy A20s in the country. The new Samsung Galaxy A20s is a follow-up to the Galaxy A20 which was launched in the market earlier this year.
The Galaxy A20s comes with an updated Snapdragon chipset instead of the Exynos 7884 found on the Galaxy A20.
Just a few hours ago, Android 5.1 became official, though it had been spotted running on Android One devices earlier this year. The new build includes three main features, multiple-SIM card support (a staple for many Asian devices), device protection, and HD voice calling along with bug fixes and the likes.
While there are no concrete details as to when the update will arrive OTA, Google has thankfully begun to post the factory images.
The Nintendo Switch is a great gaming system with tons of options for portability. However, the Joy-cons can be annoyingly small sometimes (and expensive). It can make you yearn for the days of classic controllers like those of the Gamecube. The Gbros. Nintendo Switch Adapter lets you bring your favorite controller to the Switch, and it’s under $13 with our Tech Deals promo code.
The best part about the Gbros.
Have you noticed an update to the Google Translate app? You may have realized there is not much of a change. That is, unless you are running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, in which case you definitely have something new to look forward to.
The Google Translate team has been hard at work bringing system-wide translation to our devices, adding the ability to decipher text across all applications. This means users no longer need to go through the hassles of switching to the Translate app, entering a word (or phrase), translating it, copying it, then going back to paste it in the application of choice.
