The Chrome Browser on Android isn’t exactly the fastest in terms in performance, although it has come a long way since its early days.

Guest Post by Elena Vakhromova. Are you a devoted Apple fanboy? Or at-least own an Apple mobile device? Then you should be aware of a small inconvenience most iDevices have: because of the support of few video formats (generally MP4 and H.264) it’s a real pain to play any other videos on them.

Federal officials have in the past imposed fines against virtual currency platforms for violating sanctions laws, but the new complaint “demonstrates that the civil liability is not the ceiling,” wrote US Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui. “The Department of Justice can and will criminally prosecute individuals and entities for failure to comply with OFAC’s regulations, including as to virtual currency.” In the Justice Department’s complaint, government alleges that an unidentified US citizen conspired to operate an online payments platform based in a “comprehensively sanctioned country” – which could be Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Russia....

After all, I talk about consumer technology. Religious, political and other polarizing issues were unnecessary. Besides, there have always been plenty of other talk show hosts who were busy with politics 24/7. When today’s form of the internet came along, it was instantly called “The Great Equalizer.” Suddenly, everyone had a way to be heard. For a time, all of the technology was above the political fray. At first, social media seemed rather benign....

Of course, video game emulation is nothing new. Websites such as CoolRom have made Mac emulators widely available for free for years now. However, what has changed are the emulators themselves.

Old School Mac Game Emulators Enter the new era of classic game emulation for Mac....

Apart from that, though, the Meizu Zero, which is made out of ceramic, is an oddly straightforward phone.

Ever since Google announced Project Treble with Android Oreo, there has been a notable improvement in Xiaomi’s OS upgrade speed for its devices. For Android Q, Xiaomi is promising to update at least 7 of its devices before the end of this year. That’s commendable especially since MIUI is a relatively heavy skin and it is not an easy task to port the skin to a new version of Android....
