Apple introduced Game Center, an online multiplayer social gaming network, in 2010 that allows app users to invite friends, start multiplayer games, track achievements, and compare scores on a leader board, and now reports claim that Google is looking to copy Apple by creating a similar system for Android.

Signed by Google Brazil president Fabio Coelho, the letter released on Friday (12) criticizes the project introduced in 2020, which aims to regulate platforms with more than 2 million users, who would be responsible for creating rules and mechanisms to identify content that could be considered false clearly. “We recognize the importance of debating solutions to this problem, but we are concerned that the Congress is doing so without considering the negative and unintended consequences the bill could bring”, Coelho argued....

What is a Filter? A filter is a basic image effect that can be applied on any image including a JPG, PNG or even a BMP file. It often gives the image a different look. Filters are primarily used to add an artistic look to an image or to hide an imperfection. How can I use a Filter in Photoshop? For this tutorial I’ll be using a photo of a flower (courtesy of Bulgarian Photo Forums)....

Not only did 2018’s Halloween serve as a reboot, but it also rewrote much of the franchise. David Gordon Green’s film was a direct sequel to the 1978 original Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis returned to reprise her role as Laurie Strode but this time around, one important plot point was changed, and it was for the best. The 2018 Halloween movie took place 40 years after John Carpenter’s original film. Michael Myers was caught after his murderous rampage and was held in a sanitarium in the decades that followed....

Well-intentioned charities and academics have urged Facebook to halt encryption plans for its messaging apps, citing concerns about child exploitation. The call was made in a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in response to the company’s intention to adopt end-to-end encryption to protect user privacy… The Financial Times reports. It’s not the first time this argument has been made. Indeed, ‘protecting children’ seems to be the new ‘fighting terrorism’ when it comes to arguing against strong encryption....

As we inch closer to iOS 14 GM release, we can expect less new features and changes in each beta release, and more focus on stability and refinement. That’s not to say that there won’t be any new changes found in this and forthcoming beta releases, however. Watch our hands-on video walkthrough as we explore a handful of iOS 14 beta 4 changes and features. The biggest new addition to the 4th developer beta for iOS 14 is the inclusion of the TV app widget, which was previewed back at June’s virtual WWDC event, but is just now making an appearance in beta form....

With the iPhone 8, Apple is promoting an all-new gold color option. The new color choice seems to be a sort of mix between Apple’s previous shades of gold and a new hands-on video from DetroitBorg offers a detailed look at the new gold color… DetroitBorg got his hands on Apple’s new iPhone 8 dock in gold, which is color matched to the iPhone 8 itself. He notes that in person, the new gold color is a “big improvement” over the iPhone 7’s yellow gold and rose gold color choices....

Throughout the Harry Potter film franchise, audiences are shown the wizarding world’s government arrangement, also known as the Ministry of Magic. From the Sorcerer’s Stone to the Deathly Hallows, the Ministry of Magic is rarely shown in a positive light. They are generally perceived as egocentric, power-hungry leaders who use propaganda for their own agenda. We catch an initial glimpse of Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry accidentally blows up his Aunt Marge....

Although the Harry Potterseries is primarily told from the titular character’s point of view, there are a number of main characters introduced to us throughout the course of the series. Aside from the Golden Trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, there are other Hogwarts students, professors, Order of the Phoenix members, and even Death Eaters whose lives became integral parts of the story. Most of these people are consistently praised or acknowledged, at least on some level, by those around them, and may even be favorite characters to many readers....

This massive discount is bound to generate significant sales of the next-generation iPhone when it goes on sale on July 11, in a defiant response to claims iPhone sales there didn’t meet expectations. Deutsche Telekom CEO Rene Obermann last month confirmed that 100,000 iPhones have been sold in Germany since its launch last November, saying it has become the most popular multimedia device the company sells. Now, customers agreeing to a new two-year contract with their 8GB iPhone 3G will be entitled to the discount cost, on a monthly contract of €69....

Throughout Gilmore Girls, Jess Mariano was one of the most memorable, loved and hated characters of the entire series. He was loved partly because of his turbulent friendship and eventual relationship with Rory. Conversely, he was hated because of the way he acted around everyone in Stars Hollow, including Luke and Lorelai, and how he managed to hurt Rory several times by doing a lot of really stupid things. Whether someone loves him or hates him, Jess has had a lot of good and bad moments on Gilmore Girls....

Gmail on its own is already a very powerful email client, offering useful features and direct integration with Google’s other services, like Google Drive. However, there’s always room for improvement. Today, Google has announced that Gmail will add support for native add-ons. Add-ons are nothing new for Gmail, as options such as Boomerang have been able to tie into Gmail for a while now to enhance its capabilities, but those are generally powered by Google Chrome extensions....

I’m certain that the number of countries in which it will be available will expand quickly, but I strongly hope that it will be available for older Android versions, too. Not doing that would mean Google would limit its own user base, even if the number of ICS smartphones and tablets (like the Asus Transformer Prime) is on the rise. It also seems plausible that Google will replace the stock Android browser with Chrome sooner or later (no reason developing two at a time, is there?...

Be careful with that spicy aftershave, and get ready to rethink the place Gremlins holds in your little holiday heart....

Grey’s Anatomy has had massive character turnover throughout the years, but as popular doctors leave the show, either through dying horribly, or contracting brain cancer, or a slew of other reasons, and more surgeons must take their place. It is this constantly revolving door of characters that allows Grey’s to feel fresh, even after 16 seasons on air. Sometimes, the series knows exactly what to do with a character. Sometimes, it takes a while for the character to warm up....
