AMC has been on a roll for several years now, and the network doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Some of its biggest hits are now over — namely Mad Men and Breaking Bad — but The Walking Dead is as popular now as it has ever been, and AMC’s flagship show about to enter its sixth season.

Volkswagen’s software cheat may have done more than poison the atmosphere, cause innumerable illnesses, and hoodwink the EPA and 11 million car buyers: it may also prove to be irreparable and set back technological progress in cars for years to come.
VW was caught by accident cheating on its Beetles, Jettas, Golfs, Passats, and Audi A3s with 2.0-liter diesel engines by claiming emission ratings that were false and deliberately designing the software in these models to fool EPA testers for the past half dozen years.

One of the great new features about the iPhone 6s is improved camera functionality and performance across the board. Not only did Apple enhance the rear facing camera with a 12-megapixel sensor, the front facing camera was at long last upgraded with a 5 megapixel sensor, a significant improvement over the 1.2 megapixel sensor Apple had been using for years.
On the software side of the equation, Apple has been heavily touting ‘Live Photos,’ a feature which brings photos to life by capturing 1.5 seconds of video footage both before and after a photo is taken. As a result, users can subsequently use 3D Touch when scrolling through their camera roll to transform static photos into lively 3-second videos.

The most difficult decision that a modern console gamer has to make it when to upgrade to the new generation. I know, it’s not exactly a life-altering decision, but it’s typically not a cheap one, so some carefully considerations must be made ahead of time.
