The Sony Xperia XZ3 is currently rumored to arrive in the second half of 2018, and if it does we’d like to see major changes over the Xperia XZ2 it will be replacing. It’s not that the Xperia XZ2 was a bad phone, but when you compare it to what rivals are offering for the same, or in some cases less, money it’s difficult to get excited about Sony’s current flagship handset. Sony has a lot of potential in mobile, with a long history in the market and a lot of great technology at its disposal. In recent years, though, it hasn’t…

They’re the giants of the web, one dominating search, the other king of the online shop.

Want to play your favorite spring cleaning playlist without lifting a finger? Your wish is Amazon Alexa’s command.

In a recent press conference, former referee and now chairman of FIFA’s referees committee, Pierluigi Collina said that VAR at the Russia 2018 World Cup was “very close to perfection”. He was referring to the 99.3% accuracy rate the video assistant referee system has had so far in the tournament. If this is indeed the case – and who are we to doubt FIFA’s statisticians? – then why has there been so much controversy around the technology that, on paper, has improved the game? For this answer, you have to go right back to one of the first uses of VAR in…

1 billion. That’s how many people are likely to tune in to watch the Russia World Cup 2018 final. To make sure that every single one of those football fans get to see the match in the best possible way, a lot of preparation has been done. Filming a football match is a complicated process, that takes hundreds of man hours before a ball is kicked.

On Wednesday, the North Korea watchers at 38 North released satellite imagery that shows North Korea making improvements to the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. While this report is unsettling, it is not at all surprising. More unsettling than the report is the possibility that President Donald Trump believed that the North Korean nuclear threat could be solved by a handshake. In the immediate aftermath of the Singapore Summit, Trump said that, “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” That statement was false, and the North Korean activity at Yongbyon proves it. But North Korean nuclear activity is not in violation of the…

TOKYO: United States Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Friday (Jun 29) said that Tokyo and Washington stood firm in their common goal of ending North Korea’s nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, including all its ballistic missiles. “Our objective remains the complete, irreversible and verifiable dismantling of North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” Mattis said at a press briefing after meeting Japan’s defence minister Itsunori Onodera in Tokyo. Mattis is the most senior US administration official to visit Japan since President Donald Trump met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore this month.At that meeting Kim repeated Pyongyang’s commitment to denuclearise the…

So once again, the stage is set for a political spectacle and the rest of the world can only wait and speculate. Just weeks after his historic summit with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump has agreed to a sit-down meeting with another mercurial man, Vladimir Putin. America’s commander-in-chief revels in the stagecraft of these diplomatic showdowns and, fresh from what he perceives as success in Singapore, he will likely love the idea of a Round Two, embracing America’s foes as he tussles with its allies.   His uniquely unorthodox brand of global negotiating will again leave the international community…

President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are to have their first official summit in Helsinki, Finland, on 16 July. Relations between the two countries have become strained over allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, as well as Moscow’s support for Syrian President Bashar al Assad and its involvement in the Ukraine conflict. During the long-awaited meeting, Mr Trump and Mr Putin will discuss relations between their countries and “a range of national security issues”, said the White House. The summit will take place after the US president attends a NATO meeting in Brussels and…
