This week, on April 4th, Microsoft turns 50 years old. The company has gone through sweeping changes over that time — from two guys in New Mexico to more than a quarter-million employees worldwide, from making text-based operating systems to holographic video games — but through the decades, it’s remained a foundation of the tech world.Microsoft has made a lot of products over its 50 years, ranging from file formats and PC accessories to cloud servers and design languages. A great many were duds — it’s hard to nail everything over five decades — but a lot were memorable, fascinating,…
As TikTok’s April 5th sell-by date approaches, Americans are back to where they stood before the original January deadline: watching anxiously to see if a major social media app gets banned. But that’s far from the only big event we’ll see over the coming month. April is filled with momentous turns in long-running tech policy stories — some possibly industry-changing, others at risk of fizzling out.The first two and a half months of President Donald Trump’s second term were highly consequential for the tech industry, which faces real challenges despite largely cozying up to Trump. After the chaos of the…
One of Sony’s best-ever PlayStation ads is a 21-second video titled, “Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video.” It’s a “step-by-step” guide about how to lend your PS4 games to your friends. It has one step: one person hands another person a game box.The ad succinctly clowns on Microsoft’s original and convoluted game sharing policy for the Xbox One, which let users ditch discs in exchange for daily DRM checks. The idea was so hated that Microsoft walked it back just over a week after the release of Sony’s ad and months before the console came out. The lesson was simple…
The big difference between Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the cheaper Z Flip 7 FE will be their cover screens, going by new renders released by the leaker OnLeaks. Earlier this month he produced designs that show a new, larger cover screen on the flagship Flip 7, but our first look at the more affordable “Fan Edition” instead includes Samsung’s older display design.The Z Flip 7 FE seems to use the same cover screen design as the Z Flip 5 and 6, with a thick bezel and a stepped bottom edge that cuts around the camera lenses. By contrast,…
Introduction 3D is one of those features which – while undeniably cool – seems to bubble to the surface every once in a while, then sink down again just as quickly. I blame having to wear those special glasses. Samsung clearly felt the same, as the $1999/£1899 Odyssey 3D ditches the specs in favour of eye-tracking and lenticular panels. It’s the latest of a new breed of dimensionally-minded 4K displays aimed at PC gamers, except here Samsung’s Reality Hub software is starting from scratch. Rival Acer’s Spatiallabs tech might be pricier but it’s been doing the rounds for a few…
