Ukraine, pro-Russia rebels in mass prisoner swap

Image
Ukraine and Russian-backed rebels have swapped hundreds of prisoners in the war-torn east of the country, one of the largest such exchanges since the outbreak of an insurgency almost four years ago. The swap of captives on a dusty road close to the town of Gorlivka, 40 kilometres (25 miles) northeast of the rebels' stronghold of Donetsk on Wednesday was an attempt to revive a tattered peace deal between the Kiev army and rebels from the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. The war in the former Soviet republic broke out in April 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea the previous month. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2liutdc via Latest News

Google Pixel C pulled from company's online store

Image
While the 32GB variant was dropped earlier this year, now Google has stopped selling the 64GB variant of the Pixel C tablet as well. If you try accessing the device's Google Store listing now, you'll be redirected to the Pixelbook's page. The Android powered device was launched back in 2015. At launch, the 32GB variant carried a $499 price tag, while the 64GB model was $599. The Mountain, View California-based company has been offering discounts on the tablet, but looks like user interest dropped to a level that there was no other option but to stop selling it completely.

HTC and Motorola don't intentionally slow down older devices, unlike Apple

Image
The mother of all mobile-related conspiracy theories was shockingly confirmed one week ago, when Apple admitted that it purposefully slows down old iPhones. While the company's intention is actually to prolong the life of those devices that are affected by aging batteries, this admission was obviously very controversial on the internet, where even much smaller issues turn into all-out flame wars at times. What Apple does is it throttles the CPU of iDevices that have old batteries, in order to prevent situations in which the battery life becomes worse.

In this case, the H4233 will be sold as the Xperia XA2 Ultra, the successor to the XA1 Ultra which launched this May.
