After delaying the launch that would have happened during the cancelled MWC 2020 , Vivo Apex 2020 has finally been revealed to the world. As a concept phone, it has a lot of exciting features that could (and should) make it into the mainstream. Some of these are still a bit radical - like a zero-port unibody design that means you’ll have to rely on wireless charging. Yet Vivo is claiming the Apex 2020 will be capable of an astonishing 60W wireless charging, which would far surpass the current 10W maximum found in some flagships. Other advances are more universally appealing, like a 16MP front-facing camera situated in the main display - no notch, no punch-hole necessary. This is possible thanks to innovations in screen pixel layout and circuit design, per Vivo’s press release. The rear camera includes a 5x-7.5x continuous optical zoom on the Apex 2020’s rear camera, which sounds like it could push past the 5x optical telephoto lenses on the Huawei P30 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S2...

Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow is an iconic member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since the beginning of the gargantuan movie experiment. But while the MCU's other stars have headlined plenty of their own movies, Widow has always had to pair up with another hero while they take all the glory. Until now.  The new Black Widow movie is coming May 1, 2020 in the UK and US, and it puts the spotlight firmly on Natasha Romanoff, and her mysterious past life as an assassin trained by the Russian government. A solo outing has been much deserved for such a popular character. Plus, we've only been treated to the one female-fronted MCU movie by this point: Captain Marvel. As the dust settles on the universe-changing events of Avengers: Endgame, this is the first film to emerge from the MCU’s Phase 4. Returning us to the aftermath of Civil War, the Black Widow movie is seeing in the dawn of a new era along with Doctor Strange and Black Panther sequels, and new properties like Th...

Having got back on track in their second Group B match against Thailand, Heather Knight's side now face something of a crunch match - don't miss a ball with our England vs Pakistan live stream guide. Both England and Pakistan currently sit on two points in the group alongside the West Indies and South Africa, meaning the stakes are high for this match in Canberra as the Women's T20 World Cup looks ahead to March and the semi-finals. England come into the match as clear favourites, but a comfortable win in their opening T20 World Cup match over the Windies clearly illustrated that Pakistan should not be underestimated. After kicking off their T20 World Cup campaign in disappointing style with a defeat to South Africa, England should have restored some confidence with their impressive 98-run victory in their second match against Thailand. Skipper Heather Knight led by example, notching up 108 not out from just 66 balls after the early loss of openers Amy Jones and Danielle...

Google has revealed that its data centers are twice as energy efficient as a typical enterprise data center thanks to more than a decade worth of work spent on improving their energy usage and cooling. In addition to being the world's largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, the search giant has also taken action on climate change by minimizing the amount of energy it uses in the first place. In a blog post detailing Google's work on making its data centers more energy efficient, the head of engineering at Google Cloud , Urs Hölzle pointed to a new paper in Science which validates the company's efforts. The study found that efficiency improvements have kept energy usage almost flat across the world's data centers, even as demand for cloud computing is at an all time high. Google will spend billions on data centers and offices in the US this year An inside look at Lenovo’s Data Center Group Amazon is planning a super-powered data center chip The paper,...
