Everyone knows that the best games for high-end mobile phones, sometimes rival consoles or PC, but the “price” of these graphics is the high power consumption of the GPU, which means that the autonomy of the phone or tablet get seriously affected. That is why now the tech giant Microsoft’s “Microsoft Research Asia” together with “Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology”, are working on a new system called Raven with which it aims to reduce the power consumption of mobile games without compromising the user experience....

WWII has become one of the most popular subject matters in the war genre over the last half century. Whether it’s the Allies fighting Hitler in Europe or the Japan Empire in the Pacific, audiences have connected with the time period because of its pivotal place in history. Rolando Emmerich’s Midway is technically a remake from the 1976 film of the same name, but this new movie stays much closer to history than the original....

“We’ve got to get people to download Edge,” says one large brain. “Nah, we’ve got to force them into it,” says another. “It’s the only way that works. It’s the traditional way.” And so Microsoft has tried so many stinky, annoying ways to get customers over (to) the Edge. Making it harder to use other browsers in Windows, for example. It’s clear this isn’t going to stop. I’m delighted, therefore, that the latest phase of Microsoft (no-)charm Edge offensive is so wonderfully, well, offensive....

Disney+ is bringing The Mighty Ducks back to life with a new 10-episode live-action series starring Lauren Graham. The new series will be based on the franchise created by Disney in the early 1990s. The Mighty Ducks spawned three theatrical movies, an animated series that aired on ABC, and even a real-life team that has been part of the NHL for nearly three decades.

Arrow also auto-suggests your most frequently-used apps repurposes the home screens to different uses, like reminders contacts. Surprisingly it doesn’t have a Bing button prominently on the homepage, unlike some of Microsoft’s other efforts to get its search engine more prominent play on Android.

I don’t have any inside information about what Microsoft plans to highlight at the April 5 event. But I have a few guesses. First, I would assume we could see a peek of some so-far-undisclosed features coming to the Windows 11 – both later this year and around October in the all-up Windows 11 22H2 feature update. Given Microsoft’s recent focus on tweaking search in Windows 11, perhaps we’ll see more on that front....

The program is meant to connect startups with mentors, provide startup-centric training, and provide access to a variety of Microsoft and third-party technologies at a discount. Microsoft is making benefits available at various points in the startups’ lifecycle, rather than just providing a lump-sum. “Microsoft’s previous startup initiatives, focused on cloud credits over a set timeframe, and on co-sell opportunities. While both are important for startups, Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is a new approach which prioritizes helping founders where they need it most: Getting started,” said a company spokesperson when I asked for details about the adjustments Microsoft has made to its startup program....
