Japan's answer to the BMW 3 Series coming next week with a whole new look. With a total of zero spy shots in our database, we’re a bit surprised Lexus is about to take the wraps off the revamped IS. Then again, the compact luxury sedan entered the third generation more than seven years ago, so a replacement was bound to happen sooner or later. Our first official look at the overhauled BMW 3 Series rival reveals the IS will be the next model in line to get full-width taillights. It’s a design feature that has been increasing in popularity in recent years as automakers are looking to inject some pizzazz at the rear. Lexus isn’t willing to go into any details for the time being, other than saying its new sedan is “dressed to thrill” and will be unveiled on June 9. Latest rumors suggest that while a high-performance F model is not on the agenda to make a comeback, the IS 500 will still rock a V8 after all. The jury is still out on whether it will be the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter or...

There’s no doubt that video gaming can be fun, and it can be an ideal way to pass by an hour or two, immersed in pure entertainment. That element of fun, combined with the competitive edge that friendly or professional gaming brings, has been behind the success of the industry since the first titles began to emerge. It is, however, a lesser-known fact that video games can help to improve cognitive skills and  general mental health  and for any individual spending an extended period indoors, those can be very vital factors. The Science This isn’t just a theory: Scientific studies have backed up those suggestions that video gaming can lift mood, enhance cognitive functioning and improve skills. All types of games can have a positive impact, but some areas have been given closer attention by these studies. One such report focuses on action games in particular and at the end of the analysis, it was shown that a number of titles produced those positive effects. The study by the Uni...

6 Foolproof Tips for Creating Powerful Passwords Whether you’re accessing an online banking portal or checking your email, you can’t get too far without entering passwords. Unfortunately, hackers can also get as far as a legitimate user if they know the password or can figure it out. Understanding the best way to create passwords will help you avoid the disasters that stem from compromised accounts. Here are six tips to get you started. 1.   Create Nonsense Words People often use variations of their favorite bands, beloved sports teams, names of their pets, cities, and other words that could be relatively easy to guess. It’s better to create words that aren’t in the dictionary or part of any pop culture. Hackers can  orchestrate brute force attacks  that involve trying random password possibilities at a rapid pace until they stumble upon the one that works. Even though cyber criminals usually depend on automated software, they often shorten the task t...

Making a Better Decision in your Life is something that each & every one of us comes across in our daily lives. Starting right from when we wake up in the morning and take a look at the time on the alarm clock, is when we start making our day’s first decision like, Should I get out of the bed now?

NEW YORK -- A court filing unsealed in a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday revealed that the federal government wants to compel Apple to help it crack more than just the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino terrorists. The filing -- a letter by an Apple lawyer in an unrelated New York drug case -- noted that federal judges across the country have ordered the tech giant to help the federal government unlock as many as 15 iPhones and other Apple devices in a number of ongoing investigations. "Apple has not agreed to perform any services on the devices to which those requests are directed," attorney Marc Zwillinger concludes in a letter dated Feb. 17 . According to the missive, government lawyers have sought and received favorable court orders -- all issued under the controversial All Writs Act  -- for devices being investigated in New York, California, Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts. The probes involve various iPhone models and at least on...
