Amazing as it seems, we are still talking about Flappy Bird all these months later. And now Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has given us our first look at his followup to his one-time smash-hit mobile game, which he said earlier this week would involve “a guy jumping from building to building.” Sure enough, the picture Nguyen posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon features a faceless man in a white helmet jumping onto the roof of a building and then rushing off to presumably jump to another building. Will this new game be as successful? We have our doubts since even big-name studios such as Rovio and King have had trouble expanding their game empire beyond their first hit franchises. You can check out the screen capture of Nguyen’s newest work of art below.

We’ve just gotten our best indication yet that the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S5 Prime is imminent. @evleaks, one of the most reliable gadget leakers around who typically gets intel on devices that are fairly close to being released, wrote on Thursday that the Galaxy S5 Prime will soon launch in Korea and will come in five different color options: “Black, white, gold, blue, and sweet pink.” The Galaxy S5 Prime is supposedly going to be an even higher-end version of its popular Galaxy S5 smartphone that will use a metal case instead of Samsung’s trademark plastic shell. Samsung typically releases several different variations of its flagship devices — it released at least 12 different versions of the Galaxy S4, for instance — but this will be the first time it’s ever released a device that’s supposed to be a fancier version of its flagship brand.

But Comcast has a problem: More and more customers are choosing to reject its beloved bundles and only subscribe to it for Internet alone, which still gives them the option to watch their favorite shows through Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and other online streaming services. To squeeze more money from these rascally cord cutters, Comcast has said that it plans to implement bandwidth caps that will slap its users with fees if they watch too many episodes of House of Cards over its network.
