The early part of the morning belonged to Yasir who collected the one wicket he needed to become the fastest man to reach 200 wickets in Test cricket. The rest of the day, however, belonged to Williamson who played a masterly innings, and was 139 not out as the Kiwis reached 272-4 by the close.

Thankfully, Microsoft loosened on those ideas, and a much more flexible approach over other policies has also come to the surface since the console’s launch. A much-criticized launch parity requirement, which ruled out an Xbox One release for indie games that initially saw life on another console, has since been softened. There have also been a number of other improvements to the console, with Microsoft trying a make amends for a number of much-wanted but ultimately missing launch features....

The month of May has brought the revelation that Kinect will be switched to an optional peripheral, the launch of Games with Gold for the next-generation, and now a tide of new items like the option to watch Netflix without a Gold account and much more....

The house of Bill Gates took the liberty of announcing that the Xbox One has sold upwards of three million units worldwide in 2013, a feat that is nothing to scoff at. Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox, is understandably thrilled with the success that his company has been experiencing with its latest product. Mehdi even posted a statement on Xbox Wire thanking the fans that helped the platform reach its current sales mark, and assuring those that are still searching for an Xbox One that more are being shipped just as fast as Microsoft can manufacture them....

With the help of ID@Xbox programme, Xbox has brought a whole of indie games. According the reports of The Verge, “This programme seems to be working to Microsoft’s advantage, and the results of the efforts have been seen in the latest announcements of indie developers for Xbox One.” There are many independent developers including Vlambeer, Slightly Mad Studios, Comcept, Born Ready, Double Fine, Drinkbox, Team Colorblind who have pitched in their games to Xbox one....

See, as the scope of these next-gen experiences continues to grow so too will their file size. We have already seen games like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Killzone: Shadow Fall push the limits as far as game install sizes go, and that trend should continue throughout the life cycle of these consoles. With that in mind we bring word that Microsoft will soon allow for external storage options on the Xbox One....

Since the release of the original Xenoblade Chronicles back in 2012, the series has maintained many of the staple mechanics and design elements of the original game. While the combat system in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was comparatively more divergent than what came before it, for the most part, the series has managed to have a consistent structure throughout each game. However, it seems that, where Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is concerned, Nintendo is building upon some aspects of gameplay, while keeping many other qualities the same....

Dallas and Los Angeles kicked off the action Sunday afternoon in a battle of bottom-dwellers in the XFL’s West division.

We’ll be focusing on the two Saturday matchups in this post. The games today are the Houston Roughnecks at Tampa Bay Vipers and the Dallas Renegades at Seattle Dragons . As I went over in my predictions column for this week , expect the first game to be a beatdown by Houston. The Roughnecks are 2-0 and the Vipers are 0-2 with no offensive touchdowns scored all season. The game is at Tampa Bay, so maybe the home field advantage will have some sort of role....

“We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification,” Xi said as the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th National Congress kicked off in Beijing. “But we will never promise to renounce the use of force.

Unification of the two sides “will be achieved,” Xi said, according to the Associated Press....

Smart Glasses have been popping up in the news somewhat frequently as of late, so it’s understandable if you’re thinking, “again?” However, what sets Xiaomi’s glasses apart from, say, Facebook’s Ray-Ban Stories is the inclusion of an augmented reality (AR) display. Though it bears repeating that, according to The Verge, Xiaomi’s glasses are a proof-of-concept and not an actual product intended for sale. At least not right now. Xiaomi’s announcement video claims that its 0....

What Is an XLM File? A file with the XLM file extension is an Excel 4.0 macro file. Macros allow automation so that repetitive tasks can be “played” to save time and lower the likelihood of errors. This macro format was first added to Excel in v4.0, released in 1992. Newer Excel formats like XLSM and XLTM are similar in that they can store macros, but unlike XLM files, they’re actual spreadsheets that include macros....

As his latest stream title suggests, the 26-year-old Canadian streamer is out for domination on Reddit’s blank canvas, competing with other communities simultaneously. But it looks like there are more obstacles in his path than he imagined.
