The developers over at Opera rolled out

“PlayStation 4K” and “Xbox Durango” will be key to Ultra HD adoption
Next-gen TV—with a 4K "Ultra HD" picture resolution—was this year's hot topic at CES. But its success may be in the hands of console gamers.
With leaked details of octal-core processor banks paired with 8GB of RAM, the PlayStation 4 "Orbis" is sounding powerful (just for comparison of RAM alone, the 8GB of system memory is roughly 32 times more than the current model). But to see where 4K comes in, it's worth taking a trip back seven years.

Spice Stellar Pad (Mi-1010) review
Although Spice had launched its first tablet, the MiTab as early as
September 2011, it wasn't really able to get a foothold in the highly
crowded Android tablets market, dominated by players like Micromax, Zync
and Karbonn, amongst others. The company's sort of made a comeback with
a new 10-inch tablet, which it calls, the Spice Stellar Pad (Mi-1010). The tablet
with impressive specs has been priced well at Rs. 12,999 and runs Jelly
Bean, the latest iteration of Android. We've been playing with the
device and here's our take on the mid-economy tablet.

quickly "clarified" its policies to justify the action.

NY Subway App's About Halfway There
Granted, it beats trying to figure out your route while standing in a

app could be a whole lot better. It's great at providing live statuses,
but it leaves a lot to the imagination when it comes to routing. I hope
the developers will bulk up its routing capabilities, even if it adds to
the app's cost. It would be worth it.
