Continuing the trend of “Windows Store versions being demonstrably worse than their Steam counterparts,” Activision’s put out some disturbing news about Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare—namely, that the Windows Store version isn’t cross-play compatible with either the Steam version or the Xbox version. Wait, what? I thought the big draw for games in the Windows Store was making Xbox and Windows 10 could play well together? Not here, apparently, because while Microsoft’s platforms support cross-play, it’s not required. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare isn’t an Xbox Play Anywhere title (meaning your PC purchase doesn’t transfer to the Xbox) and the multiplayer communities…
Almost exactly one year after unveiling the W2016 high-end Android-powered flip phone in China, Samsung is back again with another such device. The successor for the W2016 is unsurprisingly called W2017, and it’s been leaking in one form or another since June. And today it’s been announced for the Chinese market. Like the W2016, the new W2017 comes with top of the line specs, packed into the clamshell design that was so popular many years ago. The W2017 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820, aided by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. Samsung W2017 official…
After many rumors and leaks, the Alcatel Idol 4s running Windows 10 Mobile was finally made official a couple of days ago. The smartphone pairs most of the specs of the Android-running Idol 4s with Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system, resulting in an intriguing high-end package for fans of Windows 10 Mobile. It will be out in the US at T-Mobile on November 10, priced at $469 full retail. But what if you’re in Europe? Are you interested in this handset and wish you’d know when it’s expected to hit that particular continent? If so, we have some bad news.…
Earlier today Samsung decided to finally share availability details for its Gear S3 smartwatches. That information, however, only applies to the devices that will be sold through big third party retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy, and also by Samsung itself. The Korean company mentioned that the LTE-capable Gear S3 frontier model would be available from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon as well, but release and pricing details in this case are all up to those carriers. Well, here we are a few hours later and the first one of the three is sharing exactly that information with us. We’re…
Samsung has started pushing out a new update to its Galaxy A5 (2016) smartphone. Currently rolling out in Europe and weighing in at over 20MB, the update brings along Android security patch for the month of October. In addition, the change-log for the update reveals that fix for a critical security flaw is also included, although details aren’t mentioned.

Kai Pfaffenbach | Reuters The pipe system of a construction site is seen next to the headquarters of Germany’s largest business bank, Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, October 27, 2016.

The assessment has been made in the Basel committee of supervisors, which is in the process of negotiating stricter bank capital rules — due to be finalised in January and come into force in 2019…
Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Janet Yellen As widely anticipated, the FOMC voted not to raise rates in November. The changes in the language of today’s statement were slight. There was a somewhat more bullish characterization of the medium-term inflation picture, with a suggestion that the inflation rate would hit the 2-percent target. The Fed now finds itself where it was last year, one meeting left in the year in which to raise interest rates as it has all but promised. I believe the FOMC will raise rates next month for much the same reason it did in…
Gross: How normalization is affecting markets 12 Hours Ago | 02:05 Bill Gross, Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund portfolio manager, said Wednesday the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged demonstrates the U.S. economy is on a steady, albeit slow, path toward normalization. The bond guru, who was “hardly able to speak” after the Fed decided not to raise rates in September, said on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” the question now becomes whether or not the economy can grow faster than 2 percent. “The fact is that 1 to 2 percent real GDP growth and near 0 percent interest rates, which…
Uncertainty surrounding the election may have played a part in the Federal Reserve’s decision not to raise rates, but that uncertainty will still be around after Election Day, economist Diane Swonk told CNBC on Wednesday. The central bank held rates steady at its November meeting, and made no direct reference to a coming hike at its December meeting. “The election does matter. We’ve got two open board seats” on the Fed, the founder and CEO of DS Economics said in an interview with CNBC’s “Power Lunch.” Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg via Getty Images A Federal Reserve police officer walks past…
