"WWE 2K17," the upcoming professional wrestling simulation video game from 2K Sports is reportedly in development and recently some WWE Superstars were rescanned for the video game. According to initial reports from Cageside Seats, some of the WWE Superstars like Sheamus, Dean Ambrose, Big Show and Alberto Del Rio were rescanned for "WWE 2K17."

Often feel storage crunch in your 16GB iPhone? Have to often delete existing data or apps to create space? Here are  tips/best practices to help you make the most from the storage space you have in your iPhone. 1. Back up and delete old photos Camera photos accumulate overtime and tend to consume a lot of space. It is always a good practice to backup old photos on Google Drive or Dropbox and delete them from the device. Alternatively, this is also where the Wi-Fi hard drive will come handy. 2. Delete old messages (iMessages/ SMS) Not every old message is important. While messages may not consume GBs but they do consume noticeable amount of space, especially iMessages. It is good to delete them and make way for a new app. Also, in the Settings menu under Messages, users can 'opt out' of never delete messages automatically. 3. Get rid of unnecessary apps Apps consume a lot of real estate in any smartphone. For 16GB iPhone users, it makes no sense in keeping unnec...

6 things that give earphones edge over headphones There has always been a rift between audiophiles (music lovers) when it comes to earphones and headphones. Both have their own set of pros and cons. Many prefer headphones over earphones because of sound clarity and quality while some prefer to invest in earphones as they are cheap and offer better noise cancellation. Although headphones are still going strong among a select group of users, here are a few pointers why earphones have an upper hand in this race. 1. Price – isn't this obvious? There is no question when it comes to the price tag of the earphones. Majority of us would agree that most of the earphones cost much lower than headphones  and give you that desired surround sound effect which you always wanted from a high-end earphone. Quality headphones on the other hand, for end users, will deliver nothing new but are likely to cost more. 2. Extremely portable Earphones also score a point when it comes to p...

 Sony has filed a patent for a new kind of 'contact lens camera' giving us a new glimpse into an intriguing future. The smart contact lens can take photos, record, play, and even store videos with just a blink of the eye. The eyewear has a lens unit, image sensor, microchip processor and storage unit on the contact lens. It also has a built-in wireless antenna to transmit pictures to any device such as smartphones, laptops. Sony's contact lenses would use sensors to detect when a user closes an eyelid. “It is known that a time period of usual blinking is usually 0.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds, and therefore it can be said that, in the case where the time period of blinking exceeds 0.5 seconds, the blinking is conscious blinking,” the patent application reads. The patent notes that the image pickup unit includes image stabilization, aperture stops, zoom lens, and focus lens. The patent also mentions that the image pickup signal processing unit may perform image sta...
