Microsoft debuts the Xbox One

Microsoft targets 25 million more Xbox 360 sales, 'huge announcement' planned for E3

Xbox controller stock 1020

Microsoft believes it can sell 25 million more Xbox 360s despite announcing the console's successor, the Xbox One, earlier this week. The Xbox 360 launched back in 2005, and has sold an estimated 77.2 million to date. Growth has slowed significantly in recent months (despite the console outselling the PS3 in the US for over two years straight), and it only sold 1.3 million last quarter. S...

Verizon Cloud backup app now on iOS

Verizon Cloud iOS app

Following a limited release on Android last month, Verizon's Cloud app is now available on iOS. The app will let you backup your photos, and videos to cloud storage, as well as facilitating access to contacts, documents and music you've stored in the cloud via your PC. Additionally, if you're already using Verizon's Backup Assistant or Assistant Plus services, all your content will be available through the new app.

Due to the nature of iOS, Cloud isn't quite as full-featured as its Android counterpart, which also backs up text messages, call logs, and contacts. You will get the same 500MB of storage for free, though, and Verizon will happily sell you more storage at monthly prices ranging from $2.99 (25GB) to $9.99 (125GB). Separately, Verizon also updated the Android version of Cloud to support the newly-released Galaxy S4 yesterday....

HTC CEO Peter Chou

The Verge has learned that HTC's Chief Product Officer, Kouji Kodera, left the company last week. Kodera was responsible for HTC's overall product strategy, which makes the departure especially notable on the heels of the global launch of the make-or-break One.

Other fresh departures include global retail marketing manager Rebecca Rowland, director of digital marketing John...

Construction on world's tallest building to begin next month and end this year

sky city

Dubai's Burj Khalifa may have its status of "world's tallest building" usurped at the end of the year by a rival yet to break ground. BSC is set to begin construction next month on the 2,750-foot (838-meter), 220-story high Sky City in Changsha, China, and thanks to a process where the building's components are mass-produced in factories ahead of time, the project is planned for completion by the end of the year. A total of 19,000 workers will prefabricate the parts in four months before commencing a three-month assembly process on site.
