Tracing can be like a forensics procedural, only with fewer neat answers. There are many reasons for wanting to know who your ancestors are, from being curious as to where you came from; to needing to know medical conditions you may pass on to your own offspring; not to mention the complexities of recording nuances of personality and eccentricity. Fortunately, GenoPro has been designed with all this in mind. …mehr

It isn't unusual to see characters and secrets leak ahead of a game's release, but what we've seen leak from PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been exceptional. It's almost to the point where we know more from the leaks than we do from official announcements, and that's why we're going to break down what we know and what it means for the game as we approach release. The leaks are coming from users who have access to the closed beta and have dissected the files contained within it. It should be noted that all players participating in the beta are ostensibly under NDA, so they aren't allowed to speak of anything that's actually in the beta, but (luckily for us) that hasn't stopped them from finding every tidbit of information contained within the code.According to the leak, we have some really interesting new characters added into the mix. Here's the entire list, so far: …mehr

Give him enough time, and Peter Tamte will tell you exactly what's wrong with note-taking apps for the iPad: They're walled off from other apps, making it hard to turn your notes into tasks and to-dos. They're overly reliant on cloud storage and syncing, so if you're offline, your data is often inaccessible. Many of these apps just seem to replace paper clutter with digital clutter, preventing Tamte and users like him from putting notes to any real use. …mehr

Let's face it - a lot of the technology that smartphone and tablet makers use in their devices is pretty similar. After all, there's only so many ways to shoehorn all the hardware necessary to run a very small computer into the available space, even with the incredibly impressive degree of miniaturization we've achieved. Think about it - the Samsung Galaxy SIII has a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, a gigabyte of RAM, and up to 64GB of internal storage. It wasn't really all that long ago that those were respectable stats for a desktop PC. Now it fits in your pocket. …mehr
