In pictures: The HTC One M9


Pictures really don’t do the HTC One M9 justice. You’ve got to hold this phone for yourself to really get a sense for the difference the small changes make. But we’ll do what we can with some of our best shots.

As we’re finally catching our breath after a ridiculously awesome Mobile World Congress, let’s take a quick look at one of the hotter phones of the show. That would be, of course, the HTC One M9.

It’s not a radical departure from its predecessor, at least in terms of looks. But when you hold it in your hand, you’ll definitely notice the differences. Slightly smaller. Easier to hold. More definition in detail and design.

We’ve got just a few short weeks until it’s released, and until you can get your hands on it. For now, enjoy this gallery.

Apple will replace AT&T in the Dow Jones Industrial Average


Apple has been picked to replace AT&T in the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock market index, which consists of 30 major US companies.

The change will be made starting on Tuesday, March 19 and was caused by another Dow company, Visa, splitting its stock by 4-for-1 around the same time. CNBC states:

The DJIA is price weighted so extremely high stock prices tend to distort the index while very low stock prices have little impact,” said David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices in a press release. “Apple’s split brought the stock price down closer to the median price in the DJIA. The Visa split will reduce the technology weight in the DJIA and make room for Apple. Among the current DJIA constituents, AT&T has one of the lowest prices.”

Amazon Games Studios bringing four of its titles to iPhone and iPad


Amazon Game Studios will be releasing four of its titles, for iPhone and iPad. These include two new games, Lost Within and Til Morning’s Light, along with existing titles Tales from Deep Space and To-Fu Fury.

The first new title is Lost Within, a new survival horror game set in an abandoned asylum. The player solves mysteries, crafts weapons, and more in an effort to uncover the asylum’s secret. Also coming soon is Til Morning’s Light, an action-adventure game set in a haunted mansion, according to Amazon Game Studios:

The game tells the story of Erica, a teenager who must escape a haunted mansion filled with ghosts and strange creatures by solving puzzles, defeating monsters and exploring the depths of the mansion. As a free bonus for customers, an audio prequel titled “The Private Blog of Erica Page” is available from Audible.com.

Also coming to iPhone and iPad are platformers Tales From Deep Space and To-Fu Fury. Tales From Deep Space is a platformer where you’ll need to solve puzzles in a strange space station called Big Moon. Too-Fu Fury, in addition to platforming, adds an element of action. Your character turns into To-Fu, and you can use their unique abilities of stretching, sticking, and more to solve puzzles and move through levels.

No releases dates for these game were given just yet, but they are expected to be released soon.

Tip: Use Windows Phone Store QR in Chrome for easy downloading of apps and games


One of the benefits of using the Chrome browser (and Firefox) is the ability to install extensions to add unique functionality to the browser. One of them is a QR code generator for the Windows Phone Store. We have covered a similar extension before, but it stopped working after the Store switched to HTTPS.

Now, a new developer by the name of George Schizas has shared his updated version of the extension, which is, of course, free.

The extension is simple: navigate to the Windows Phone Store web site on your PC, and whichever app you are looking at, a corresponding QR code is generated.

Zynga will bring fantasy strategy game Dawn of Titans to the iPhone and iPad


Zynga will release Dawn of Titans, a fantasy-themed strategy game with some impressive looking graphics, for the iPhone and iPad later this year.

This is the first game from Zynga that’s being developed by UK-based studio NaturalMotion, which Zynga acquired in 2014. Dawn of Titans looks like it will have traditional real-time-strategy gameplay, with tons of units onscreen, mixed with the Clash of Clans-like kingdom building feature. Here’s what Zynga has to say about the game:

In Dawn of Titans, players are immersed in a breathtaking, high fantasy world as they lead Titans into epic battles with thousands of soldiers. Players build their kingdoms to fuel their army, raise Titans and fight battles at epic scale to capture territory. The Dawn of Titans experience is set within a kingdom that looks, feels and sounds real. Our team has designed every element of Dawn of Titans – from the trees, to the waterfalls, to the Titans, to the battles – to push the edge and create an entertainment experience that we believe supersedes anything found today in the Action Strategy category.

Zynga plans to soft-launch Dawn of Titans for select countries and devices before its worldwide launch later this year.
