[ad_1] This is what Sea of Solitude does. On the surface, it’s a gorgeous and dark adventure from independent German studio Jo-Mei Games and EA, but beneath the monster-ridden waters, Sea of Solitude offers a rich and true glimpse into aspects of humanity that are often ignored by video games.

Google getting out of the tablet game was inevitable (and smart)
[ad_1] Probably the most common refrain regarding Google tablets was about app quality. Specifically, developers never got on board with building apps for larger screens the way they did for the iPad, and Google’s tablets have suffered for it. Perhaps the only tablet that wasn’t hurt by software quality was the Nexus 7, which arrived […]
Valve’s ‘Dota Underlords’ open beta launches on Android, iOS and PC
[ad_1] Less than a month after it was announced and just a week after being properly revealed, Dota Underlords is available for play. Valve’s take on the popular Dota 2 mod, Dota Auto Chess, is a stategic battle game where players try to dominate the city of White Spire. The last Dota 2 spinoff, Artifact, […]
Google had made its last tablet
[ad_1] This decision doesn’t affect Google’s own laptop hardware; in fact, it sounds like a successor to the Pixelbook might arrive before the end of the year. That timing would make sense, as the computer will be two years old this fall and could use an update on a few fronts (that giant screen bezel […]
Microsoft’s reworked Edge browser is available to try on Windows 7
[ad_1] Dev channel builds will be coming to earlier Windows releases “soon,” Microsoft added. While this probably won’t be a must-have release for a home PC (especially if you’re comfortable using Chrome), it could be an important first step for corporate web surfers stuck with old Windows releases. Many office dwellers don’t have control over […]
Windows 10 preview links bugs you find to existing feedback
[ad_1] It’s already possible to find existing complaints with the search bar, but this update should streamline the process. You can see a preview of what the updated Feedback Hub looks like below. Grouping complaints won’t just save users time, it might help Microsoft avert chaos before it spreads. A Windows 10 update last October […]
The DJ-inspired production platform Serato Studio arrives today
[ad_1] Along with today’s release, Serato Sounds kicks off its artist series with a sound pack from Just Blaze, the producer behind many tracks from artists like Jay-Z, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. There will be sounds mastered with his own vintage studio gear, plus original self-recorded samples. Just Blaze said “I wanted to actually […]
Apple’s Voice Control is important for accessibility, and you
[ad_1] Rather than save Mackay a few mouse clicks, the new version of macOS spared him from having to use a switch controlled by his tongue to interact with a machine. That’s the beauty of the update’s Voice Control system: With the right combination of commands, you can control a Mac, iPhone or iPad with […]
Kano unveils its first build-it-yourself Windows 10 computer
[ad_1] The Kano PC will have plenty of ports, too, including HDMI, two USB ports — one 2.0, the other 3.0 — and, thankfully, a 3.5mm headphone jack. It will also come with a keyboard cover which, at first blush, looks like a massive improvement over the plastic keyboard that shipped with previous Kano computers. […]
Google’s Chromebook App Hub for students and teachers is live
[ad_1] Perhaps more interesting for teachers is that apps come alongside something called “idea sparks,” which are essentially editorial pieces of content written by people in education that give examples of lessons to use the app in the classroom. The Hub also has a host of filters for searching for trending topics, subjects that teachers […]
