But it appears that there’ll be at least two huge changes – the game will be fully new, rather than building on the old one, and will come out for PC.</p> <p>The second rumour comes from the NeoGAF forums, through a user that claimed that Destiny’s next game will come out for PC. He said that a friend works at the publisher, and employees had been told in an internal presentation that the company wouldn’t be limiting the game to the Xbox and PlayStation, as it did in its earlier iteration.</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-gallery"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=3906706:sdl_editor_representation --><div

--> <p>A year from now, Google, Amazon and Apple might be listening in on your living room. And you’ll be glad of it. All three of those companies are working on or have announced voice assistants that sit in people’s houses and talk to them. The boxes – which function as speakers, and look like them too – are meant do everything from asking questions to operating various parts of peoples’ houses</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> <p class="credits">Google</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="3"> <h2> <span class="counter">3/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> North Korean Facebook set up and immediately hacked </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>An imitation of Facebook apparently set up for North Koreans has already been hacked and sent offline, just days after it was discovered. Internet company Dyn Research found the site – hosted in North Korea and created to look almost exactly like Facebook – and discovered that it was accessible for anyone in the world.

Then why not turn it into a robot? That's exactly what YouTuber Mehdi Sadaghdar did in a recent video, after his efforts to bring a destroyed phone back to life disastrously failed. Using the phone's vibrator, a coin battery, a simple switch, a few wires and the bristly part of a toothbrush, he managed to make a simple little toy that can skitter around a tabletop as long as the battery last</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="5"> <h2> <span class="counter">5/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Detachable plane cabin </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A Ukrainian inventor has proposed building airliners with detachable passenger cabins that could separate from the rest of the plane and parachute safely to the ground in the event of an emergency</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="6"> <h2> <span class="counter">6/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> FA announces it will host the Emirates FA Cup video game tournament </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>The FA has announced that for the first time ever it will host the inaugural Emirates FA Cup gaming tournament, with video game fans from across the world invited to compete for glory at Wembley Stadium connected by EE. Early rounds will take place in iconic locations in the stadium such as The Royal Box, the changing rooms and the players’ tunnel, with the two finalists set to play the virtual final using Wembley Stadium’s 82 foot screens as they sit in the centre circle.

The company hasn’t said when the headsets will actually start arriving, or how much they will cost. It isn’t clear whether the company intends to announce more details before pre-orders begin</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="8"> <h2> <span class="counter">8/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> iPhone stock apps can be removed by just putting them into special folder </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>A new trick shows a quick way of getting rid of the stock apps that might be cluttering up your iPhone screen — at least for a while. The iPhone comes with a range of apps that are stuck on the phone, and can't be deleted like others. While some are key to the phone — like the Phone app itself — others like Stocks are less well-regarded. But the new trick shows how you can hide those unused stock apps with just a quick trick using some folders</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="9"> <h2> <span class="counter">9/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> CES 2016: Four big things set to be revealed </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>The CES 2016 gadget show is about to kick off, and nearly the entire technology industry has descended on Las Vegas to try and show off the future. Every year, companies and technologists attempt to show that they have seen what’s coming and that they will be there to offer it. Every year, a lot of people get it wrong. This year’s expectations are as big as ever. Every year, CES unofficially gets a big theme that everything’s supposed to be about — this year that’s virtual reality.

Users will be given 25 per cent off their journey if they say they will let up to two other passengers share their car. Drivers will then receive a message telling them that they’ll be picking up more than one fare, and can plan their route accordingly. London is the second European country to get the feature, after Paris. It was first launched in San Francisco and now most people who use the app do so with the feature</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="13"> <h2> <span class="counter">13/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Attempt to build world’s biggest Rubik’s cube ends in disaster </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>An attempt to build the world’s biggest Rubik’s cube ended in disaster when the puzzle exploded as it was turned for the first time.

The video was the culmination of seven months of construction, which included a month of deliberation on how to build the mechanism at the centre of the device</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="14"> <h2> <span class="counter">14/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> New battery chip could let phones charge in minutes </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>The maker of a new chip claims that it could reduce the charging times of phones to a few minutes, and could prevent dangerous explosions. The tiny chip could be embedded into batteries of all sizes and monitor how healthy and charged they are. That in turn would mean that the batteries would become much safer and quicker to charge, according to the scientist that developed it. Unhealthy lithium-ion batteries can be at risk of exploding or catching fire, as well as gradually losing their capacity so that they run out more quickly. Those problems may become even more important as people move towards electric cars or other vehicles</p> <!-- Optional photo credits --> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="15"> <h2> <span class="counter">15/26</span> <!-- Optional photo title --> Facebook on iPhone gets new fast-loading Instant Articles </h2> <!-- Optional photo caption --> <p>If you've noticed articles on Facebook loading a little quicker recently, that's because the new Instant Articles have been launched to all iPhone users.

The company released the new phone with much fanfare, but almost all of the changes — a new camera and pressure-sensitive display — were on the inside. The only new noticeable addition to the phone’s look is the very pink rose gold colour, and a tiny “S” on the back.
