Samsung filed a trademark in the EU for a software product called "Neuro Game Booster". The name is pretty self-explanatory and it seems like Samsung is working on a GPU booster of its own like Huawei's GPU Turbo tech. The trademark filing reads: Software for smartphones; Electronic game software for mobile phones; Electronic game software for handheld electronic devices; Computer programmes for playing games; Computer application software featuring games and gaming; Artificial intelligence software; Downloadable computer game software; Recorded computer game software.

vivo's Apex 2019 smartphone is still somewhat of a mystery, despite it being expected to become official in two days time on January 24. Vivo started a campaign where it let people touch the phone, but not see it and they described it as metal soap. So the phone is kept well under wraps. But today we get our first glimpse at the nearly bezel-less and fully button-less vivo Apex 2019. Thanks to a concept image, created by Ben Geskin and through the phone's first promo video, uploaded to Weibo. vivo Apex 2019, concept by Ben Geskin There are clearly no buttons on the vivo Apex 2019... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2Hs3HgV via IFTTT

I don't know about you, but I have had enough family members ask me if WhatsApp is going to start charging for service if they don't forward the message to 20 of their contacts. With viral content rampant on the platform, WhatsApp has set a limit to all users all over the globe. WhatsApp users will only be able to forward messages to five contacts at a time.

Smartphone bezels have been getting smaller and smaller, but one of the first smartphones to push these boundaries is the original Xiaomi Mi Mix. The Mi Mix 3 is the third iteration of the Mi Mix series that pushes the limit of bezels not by notches, nor below-the-display selfie cameras, but instead puts the camera literally behind the screen. Well, it only hides behind the display when you aren't using it and slides up when you, well, slide the phone open! As phone makers try to figure out the best way to make a full-screen phone, we get to see what kind of form factors they experiment... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2ASvzF5 via IFTTT

Russia's Federal Security Service detained Paul Whelan, who holds U.S., British, Canadian and Irish passports, in a Moscow hotel room on Dec. 28. Whelan appeared in a Moscow court on Tuesday, where a judge rejected releasing him on bail. Whelan, who denies the charges, was detained after receiving a thumb drive containing a list of all the employees of a secret Russian state agency, the Russian online news portal Rosbalt.ru reported this month. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2Wcsf0A via Latest News

Democratic senator Kamala Harris has announced that she is throwing her hat in the ring to run for president in 2020 — so now is as good a time as any to remind everyone of her terrible record on criminal justice. Thankfully, criminal-justice reform has become a bit of a popular issue these days among both Democrats and Republicans. As a civil libertarian, it’s my opinion that we still have a long way to go — and putting Kamala Harris in the White House would not be a step in the right direction. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2T3GJhv via Latest News

The pound recovered ground Monday after British Prime Minister Theresa May said she plans to return to Brussels to discuss changes to the Brexit deal she agreed with EU leaders last month despite an overwhelming rejection of the draft text by MPs last week. There was mixed news out of China, with official data showing the country's economic growth at its slowest pace in 28 years offsetting a report that the country has offered to eliminate its massive trade surplus with the United States -- easing trade war tensions between the world's two biggest economies. "Unless the British PM intends to commit political suicide, an extension request is the most likely scenario and the EU will most probably agree, which should be a positive development that will take the pound towards $1.30 again," predicted Konstantinos Anthis, Head of Research at ADSS. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2Hn9hRN via Latest News

Special Counsel Robert Mueller recently indicted yet another peripheral character in his Trump probe, Russian attorney Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, for alleged money laundering in a matter quite separate from Trump. Like almost all of Mueller’s indictments of the past 20 months, the charges against Veselnitskaya had nothing to do with his original mandate of finding any possible Trump–Russia collusion. If Mueller was not a special counsel, and if he was not looking for anyone deemed useful to flip to find dirt on Donald Trump, then Veselnitskaya would have been just another daily Washington foreign influence-peddler being courted with impunity by her American influence-peddling and often equally suspect counterparts. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2MoFO8O via Latest News

Thousands of ships, including former dictator Saddam Hussein's yacht, have passed through the Iraqi shipyard's three docks, where a giant steam engine hauls them out of the water and up the century-old wooden tracks.

President Donald Trump and House speaker Nancy Pelosi traded snide jabs at each other — she canceling the State of the Union Address, he canceling her trip overseas — rather than come together to restart the government. Meanwhile, the mainstream media — the self-proclaimed protectors of democracy— embarrassed themselves by obsessing over a report from BuzzFeed that claimed Robert Mueller has evidence that the president instructed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.
