The Microsoft Surface Hub in all its glory


Announced at the January Windows 10 event, the Microsoft Surface Hub is a giant, touchscreen Windows computer aimed at the enterprise market. But here at Mobile World Congress we (well, some of us, anyway) got our first actual, in-person look at it. If you ever thought it was impressive, you were absolutely right. It’s incredible.

Microsoft isn’t letting anyone play with it, which is to be expected given the pretty hefty cost, but it is taking pride of place on the booth. So we’ve snapped a few images for you to check out below.

Bunny Goes Boom – an explosive Windows Phone game


Bunny Goes Boom is a simple, easy to play Windows Phone game that has you piloting a rocket that has a bunny rabbit strapped to it. You’ll have to steer the rocket around a host of obstacles to see how high you can fly it.

The slightest nick against any of the dangers will cause the rocket to explode and the bunny to go boom. Available for low-memory Windows Phones, Bunny Goes Boom isn’t a difficult game to pick up but you may be surprised how challenging something so simple can be. I’m not sure it can hold up to hours of game play but for shorter periods, Bunny Goes Boom might be an option to consider.

How to filter spam messages in Facebook for iPhone and iPad


If you use Facebook for iPhone and iPad on a regular basis in conjunction with the Facebook Messenger app, you are probably already familiar with the amount of spam messages you can receive. Just like email, Facebook has become a great place for advertisers and marketers to troll. However, Facebook does have a setting that lets you take a little more control over what messages end up in your inbox. Here’s how to access it!

How to get spam out of your Facebook inbox on iPhone and iPad

  1. Launch the Facebook app.
  2. Tap on the More button in the bottom navigation.
  3. Tap on Privacy Shortcuts, it’s towards the bottom.
  4. Tap on Who can contact me?.
  5. Tap on Strict Filtering.

That’s it! From now on the only messages in your Facebook inbox should be from people you know. However, you’ll want to check the “Other” messages section on your computer every once in a while to make sure you aren’t missing a message from someone who shouldn’t have been filtered.
