Opera Max celebrates 50 million Android users with VIP mode

Opera announced that their data-saving app Opera Max reached 50 million active users. Along with that it updated the app which now has VIP mode for unlimited data savings and privacy.
Opera was always aiming to compress the web. With their Opera Max free VPN application you are able to lower your data usage when browsing and streaming audio and video. The only requirement is to tap a button every 12 hours to lengthen you data-saving experience. When tapped, the app shows various ads which are the main income for the data-compressing servers of the Norwegian software company.

Ironically, blocking background apps was one of the good features that Opera Max had but apparently now they are doing exactly the same. For revenue of course.

New 3DS XL Charging Cradles at Club Nintendo

Image
Coming October 31 in a bunch of colors. The Nintendo 3DS XL is a hefty piece of portable gaming hardware , and sometimes you may not feel like fumbling around with the tiny little connector on the end of an AC adapter. Currently, Nintendo sells a docking cradle for the 3DS XL, but it's only available in black. Just in time for Halloween, Club Nintendo members will be able to cash in some coins for giant charging pads in five new hues. According to the Club Nintendo site , the charging station will set you back 500 coins when it launches in the rewards catalog on October 31--a black 3DS XL charging cradle is currently priced at $19.99 on Nintendo's online store. Given the exclusivity of the colors, and the way rewards items have a tendency to sell out quickly on Club Nintendo, you may want to plan accordingly. The new cradles will be available in blue, red, yellow, green, and white. Nintendo announced the Elite Status gifts for Club Nintendo members back in J...

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Review

Image
Don't call it XCOM. I played through The Bureau: XCOM Declassified 's entire floundering tactical shooter campaign wondering how it planned to pull off a plausible prequel backstory to the freshly rebooted XCOM universe. When I got to the end, it didn't even seem to try, content to let us wonder why this 1960s version of XCOM didn't bother to tell 2010s XCOM (of XCOM: Enemy Unknown) that hostile aliens exist and that there's a closet full of working plasma guns somewhere. Not making sense doesn't seem to bother The Bureau, either in story or in its flawed attempt to use permanent death mechanics and strangely shoddy construction. But it sure bothered me. ...
