- MESM Soviet computer project marks 60 years
Before you go complaining about your job, take a moment to remember the MESM project, which just marked the 60th anniversary of its formal recognition by the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The project, headed by Institute of Electrical Engineering director Sergey Lebedev, was born in a laboratory built from scratch amongst the post-World War II ruins of Ukrainian capital city, Kyiv, by a team of 20 people, many of whom took up residence above the lab. Work on MESM — that’s from the Russian for Small Electronic Calculating Machine — began toward the end of 1948. By November 1950, the computer was running its first program. The following year, it was up and running full-time. The machine has since come to be considered the first fully operation electronic computer in continental Europe, according to a Google retrospective. Check out a video interview with a MESM team member, after the break — and make sure you click on that handy caption button for some English subtitles.

The developer known as Jaxbot is becoming quite familiar around these parts, who’s known for bringing instant app resuming and multitasking to Windows Phone — long before these features had gone mainstream.

As you can see in the video after the break, his tool already works on Samsung phones, and now, Jaxbot needs the help of like-minded hackers to perform similar feats with HTC and Nokia handsets.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ live images surface
We are still a month away from the Samsung Galaxy S10 trio launch and this is by far our best look at the Galaxy S10 and S10+. A bunch of live images have surfaced revealing the design in great detail. Galaxy S10 and S10+ prototypes The first thing we've noticed about those prototypes are the bezels. They appear to be slightly bigger than those pictured in the recent renders, but that was to be expected. The photos also confirm that the more expensive Plus variant will feature a slightly better screen-to-body ratio and a dual front-facing camera setup. Oh, and more...
Sexy vivo Apex 2019 unveiled with no buttons, all screen fingerprint sensor
The vivo Apex 2019 concept phone is here and it packs some serious tech. It's powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset, has 256GB or 512GB of storage, 12GB of RAM and 5G - the last two are firsts for vivo.

Whereas the Meizu Zero relies entirely on wireless charging, the Apex 2019 uses what vivo calls MagPort - a magnetic connector on the rear that's used for charging and data...
Realme teases new smartphone that's all about entertainment
Realme is announcing a new phone in India and it will be "all about entertainment". The company teased it on Flipkart as the device to have if you are into movies or photos but did not announce what the name will be. Chances are it is either the Realme 3 or the Realme A1 since both are expected to arrive soon. The most intriguing feature, however, is the pictured wide notch, meaning the company is stepping back from the waterdrop cutout for some reason. Although the assumption the new Realme could have a notch is pretty clear, we see the volume buttons appear both on the left and...
