Space epic ‘Rebel Galaxy’ coming to Mac later this year
There’s some good news for space adventure fans on OS X today. Double Damage Games has just announced that its space epic Rebel Galaxy, which was initially announced for PC and Playstation 4, will be coming to Macs this year as well.
If you’re unfamiliar with Rebel Galaxy, here’s a quick description of the game:
Rebel Galaxy is an action-packed, swashbuckling space opera. You’ll battle pirates, explore anomalies, befriend aliens, scavenge battle wreckage, mine asteroids, and discover artifacts. Choose your path as a roguish do-gooder, crafty space-trader or power-hungry privateer – or maybe a little of each! Buy larger and more powerful craft with your hard-earned credits, and outfit them with a variety of wicked weapons and defenses. Set in a galaxy of fantastic sights, and secrets to be found, Rebel Galaxy is above all a space epic of adventure, exploration, and combat.
Double Damage Games says it expects the game to be available later this year, but it will be showing its progress off at PAX South in San Antonio, Texas from January 23-25. In any case, it’s awesome to see some more high-quality games coming to the Mac platform.

TWRP gets updated to version 2.8.4 with Moto 360 and LG G Watch R support
The Team Win Recovery Project has been updated to version 2.8.4, bringing several new features and enhancements. One of the biggest new things introduced with the update is the support for Motorola’s Moto 360 and LG’s G Watch R.
The update will now let power users flash boot and recovery images directly through TWRP’s GUI, and if you’re using the recovery on a smartwatch, you can use the power button to back up one screen. Other than that, there are lots of bug fixes and small tweaks to improve stability, so even if you aren’t planning on using this on one of your newer smartwatches, it’s still worth it to grab the update.

CrackBerry Asks: How happy are you with the BlackBerry Assistant?
If you’ve been lucky enough to get hold of a BlackBerry Passport, Classic or a leaked version of BlackBerry OS 10.3 you would have been able to make use of the BlackBerry Assistant, which is so much better than it used to be. For non-10.3 users, you’ll still be itching to use the new assistant, but your needs should hopefully, be fulfilled soon.

Samsung’s Galaxy A7 announced for Russian markets with pricing information
Samsung’s Galaxy A7 was officially announced a few days ago, but Samsung left out some details about pricing and availability for specific markets. Today, the company has unveiled the A7′s release info for Russian markets, including a price tag of RUB 31,990. This equates to about $530 in American currency, which is a bit higher than we were expecting.
The specs for this variant of the device are unchanged, including a 5.5-inch 720p screen, Qualcomm 615 CPU, and 16 GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot. Nothing flagship-caliber, but still a decent mid-range handset with a great design.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know the exact date of when you’ll be able to order the premium phone, but if Samsung is making announcements about specific markets, it shouldn’t be much farther off.

Gas leak forces LG factory to halt OLED TV production
A tragic gas leak at one of LG’s domestic OLED TV panel plants this week might have some big ramifications for the TV market. South Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor has ordered LG to shut down the factory while it investigates the accident, which killed two workers and injured four. A spokeswoman wasn’t willing to predict the closure’s effect on sales for Reuters, but it comes days after LG unveiled its Best of CES-winning Art Slim OLED sets and might affect a timely launch (at least for Koreans) if the investigation takes a while. The victims and the plant’s safety undoubtedly take higher priority — just don’t be surprised if there are ripple effects.

Apple reaches settlement in class action suit over wage suppression
Apple, along with several other tech companies, has reached a settlement deal today in a class action suit concerning anti-poaching policies that may have suppressed wages among tech workers in Silicon Valley.
While it’s unclear what the terms of the settlement are, the judge in the case had already rejected quite a large sum in a previous settlement proposal. From Reuters:
Workers accused the firms of conspiring to avoid poaching each other’s employees. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, last year rejected a $324.5 million settlement of the lawsuit as too low after one of the named plaintiffs objected.
The suit has been going on for a while, and previously unearthed some damning emails from 2007 in which Steve Jobs had threatened Palm with legal action over hiring employees away from Apple.
