Sony May Or May Not Record Your PSN Voice Chats Or Text Messages

Given that your voice chats and text communications done through Sony's PSN obviously goes through Sony's servers, it is possible for Sony to listen in and perhaps even record down the things that you do, and while Sony has stated that they are not planning to do that, they did express that they do retain the sole discretion of doing so without ever telling you.

Twitter Data Consumption Problem For Windows Phone Fixed

The other day we reported that for some reason or the other, Twitter for Windows Phone had started to consume way more data than was necessary. This was due to the app constantly pulling profile images from Twitter's servers, causing the app to use more data than was required or normal, and according to some reports, there were users who actually managed to hit 3GB of data within a week which is definitely not normal, at least not as far as the average user is concerned.

Major Google Hangouts bug lets emoji spammers lock up the app; Google already on the case

An unfortunate bug seems to have surfaced in the latest Hangouts app for Android. Reddit user Recon0212 initially reported the bug, which could be experience-breaking for many people.

This means you'd be unable to enter the app and do anything. Pretty scary, right?

Thankfully, Google has been made aware of the bug. Googler Dan Morril chimed in on the Reddit thread and confirmed that he was able to reproduce the bug in the presence of a product manager.

Forza 5 Trailer Hails The McLaren P1

Most people I know would love to earn an insane amount of money while doing what they love, and at the same time, spend like there is no tomorrow since money is extremely easy to come by. Well, that would include living it up in the best homes, swankiest neighborhoods, and driving the newest supercars that have just been revealed. Perhaps the majority of us are unable to earn such a keep throughout our entire lifetime, so the closest we can come to driving a supercar without begging our rich friend to lend us their ride would be to play a video game.
