ABC News reports that RadioShack will close 1,100 stores following a disappointing holiday season and generally unsuccessful attempt to rebrand the chain as the go-to retailer for smartphones and accessories. The number represents about 20% of the electronics shop’s locations. The company previously announced plans to close only 400-700 stores. That doesn’t mean RadioShack will be disappearing completely, though. Around 4,000 stores are still expected to remain open. While the cell phone business hasn’t been able to keep the entire company afloat, it has apparently provided enough fuel to keep the majority of the stores functional… for now, at least....

Following the cancellation of most of Netflix’s Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that included Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, fans were hopeful but worried about the future of the remaining series Jessica Jones and The Punisher. Unfortunately, both series were axed just as they were set to return to Netflix.

Stores like Best Buy would also incentives for buying from them. But finding such deals is already proving difficult … The reason is Apple’s recent announcement that it is replacing separate iTunes and store cards with a single Apple Gift Card....

Anyone can get a free trial of either 30 or 60 days, and there’s a special deal for existing Pandora Plus subscribers … Pandora Premium has so far been available on an invitation-only basis, but the company announced last week that it would be available to all from today....

Apple’s LTE chip supplier Qualcomm announced on Thursday that it hopes to tackle cellular radio frequency band fragmentation with the first “single, global 4G LTE design” for mobile devices. With over 40 cellular bands worldwide, many companies, such as Apple, need to release a slew of cellular models specific to certain carriers. Apple made the iPhone 5 compatible with LTE networks, but due to 4G LTE and legacy radio fragmentation, in which carriers use different radio bands, the company made two separate GSM models and one CDMA model....

Most of these desktop image editors and online image editors fail miserably when it comes to PNG image resizing, especially when retaining Transparency. They always remove the transparent background and replace it with a colored one. Latest version of Irfan View does show an option to resize PNG images AND retain transparency, but I never figured out how to use it successfully. Using Adobe Photoshop solves the issue, since it has an inbuilt plugin to resize PNG image cleanly....

The researchers hope their open source PolyCoder can democratize research into the field of AI code generation, which so far is dominated by well-funded companies like Alphabet-owned DeepMind and OpenAI. “Large language models (LMs) of code have recently shown tremendous promise in completing code and synthesizing code from natural language descriptions.

A PlayStation 4 bundle that includes God of War, The Last of Us Remastered, and Horizon: Zero Dawn may be the cream of the crop this holiday season, if a new report is to be believed.

To say it has been anything short of a success for the company would be an understatement, which is why fans are so excited for the newly announced PlayStation 5 which is set to arrive in Holiday 2020....

Rumor has it the Note III will use the Snapdragon 800, HTC’s One Max will use it, and so will LG’s Optimus G2. But enough about that, let’s focus on the SHV-E330S....
