Plex arrives on Sonos in beta form

If you're a fan of media streaming service Plex as well as speaker company Sonos, you'll be glad to know that you can now access your Plex files directly through the Sonos app, allowing you to play your music collection on any of the speaker company's devices.
"The other super cool thing is that you’ll be able to access your Plex library from a remote Sonos device," Plex said in a blog post. "This means if you’ve painstakingly ripped your entire vinyl collection to lossless FLAC, you’ll be able to stream it to your Sonos-equipped cabin in the woods while you craft your luddite manifestos!"
What's worth mentioning here is that Plex for Sonos is currently in beta (meaning there may be some minor glitches), and available in the Sonos Labs section of the app. For set-up details, head to the Source links below.

TCL (alcatel) is probably making BlackBerry's next smartphone

Image
The next BlackBerry smartphone will be unveiled next month, according to the company's CEO. He's also previously said to expect two cheaper offerings this year compared to the high-end Priv - one with a physical keyboard and one without. That all-touchscreen model could be the one seeing the light of day in July, as it turns out. And TCL, the Chinese company best known elsewhere for making alcatel-branded phones, might be the one manufacturing it. There's not a lot of evidence for this yet, however, and what we do have is mostly circumstantial, as they'd say. But bear with us. A TCL device with the product name DTEK 50 has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which is odd because DTEK is the name of the privacy suite that ships on the BlackBerry Priv. But wait, there's more! The model number for TCL's device is listed as STH100-2, which strangely manages to fully adhere to BlackBerry's way of using model numbers for its products (case in ...

Verizon's Galaxy S5 camera plagued by bugs

Image
Verizon's early adopters of Samsung's latest Galaxy S5 flagship are having some trouble with their devices. Many are reporting their camera refuses to work after a few days. The error message just says "Warning: Camera failed". There is no fix to be found. The users tried everything Verizon has suggested them to do - software and hardware factory resets, wiping caches from recovery, etc. Nothing works so far. The unlucky owners are having their devices replaced, but there is no guarantee this won't happen again. There is even a Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon affected by the same problem already. Hopefully this issue is resolved quickly by a firmware update. Meanwhile we advise Verizon's Galaxy S5 users to stay away from third-party camera apps such as Instagram, Shapchat, Facebook, etc. because some users are reporting the problem started after installing and using such an app.

Sony Shows A Profit, But Hardware Sales Are Soft

Image
Then again, software sales are booming. Today, Sony released its first quarter financial results for the period running from April 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013. Things continue to look up for the once-struggling company, as it again managed to post a quarterly profit, albeit a modest one. ...the company’s profit after taxes amounts to about $35 million. During the quarter, Sony’s company-wide sales brought in $17.3 billion, which is a 13 percent increase from the same quarter last year. “This increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates,” however, as well as “an increase in financial services revenue, and an increase in unit sales of smartphones.” If currency exchange rates remained consistent over the last year, sales actually would have decreased three percent. Nonetheless, the company’s profit after taxes amounts to about $35 million. Sony’s operating income is also up. Interestingly, the PlayStation division’s operating cost b...

Tomb Raider Next-Gen Sequel Confirmed

Image
It's "well into development" too. Square Enix has confirmed it is working on a Tomb Raider sequel for the next generation of consoles. In an open letter , the company's Western CEO Phil Rogers confirmed that a sequel has been in development for some time. "I am also excited to reveal that we are well into development on a next-generation Tomb Raider sequel – something you may have heard about recently," he wrote. A sequel was pretty much guaranteed considering the game's success. We heard at Comic-Con this year that Dark Horse comics were producing a series set after the conclusion of the first game and designed to lead into the eventual follow-up . Still, it's good to know for certain that the game is in development, that it's making good progress, and that it'll be on next-gen consoles everywhere. Be sure to let us know what you'd like to see in a sequel in the comments.
