If you were hoping to play Metro Exodus this year, bad news: the first-person shooter has been pushed back to early 2019. The third instalment in THQ's nuclear-ravaged survival series was announced at E3 2017 during Microsoft's press conference. The...
Tvillingar is a literal twist on the metro train that flips the archetypical station and maglev halfway upside down! Unlike classic designs where the cars sit on top of a track, the inverted train is secured on the side and levitated with super magnet tech between its upper and lower decks. This requires a unique column rail system to support and elevate the double decker train above ground. Each column also features its own wind turbine to harness the wind energy created by the high speed metro. Additionally, at each station, specialized floors collect the crowd’s footstep energy as they move about!
This proposal for the Barcelona Tramway aims to reflect the core values of the city and the energy that keeps it moving. The exterior is streamlined yet subtle with a futuristic appeal that isn’t overtly loud. Inside, however, the choice of colors and textures refer to the city’s peculiar architecture and vibrant atmosphere.
Snowfall causing train delays is nothing new. In the UK, where I'm from, this happens with hilarious, infuriating regularity. But last week, the first snow of 2016 brought Tokyo's central railway lines and Metro to a halt: hour-long delays between st...
Windows 8 die-hards waiting on Mozilla's Metro Firefox update will have to wait a little longer: the company says it won't be ready until next year. According to a recently published archive of meeting notes, the final public release of the Windows 8 interface won't be available until January 21, 2014. The document is filled with meeting jargon and completion numerics, but the notes do pin the delay a "decrease in average team velocity" across previous iterations. A bummer, perhaps, for folks waiting for a stable build, but at least you can still get your fix through Firefox nighties, right?

Couple of updates to Evernote for Windows Touch users: for starters, the app's hub page has been redesigned for a better fingers-on experience, bringing handy columns for notes, shortcuts created across different platforms and Notebooks. The Windows Touch app now includes support for Evernote Business, as well -- Notebooks created for that side of things will appear in blue, so you can tell them apart from the personal notebooks sitting in your hub. Also new is two-step verification for added security. A full list of updates to the pachyderm-friendly note-taking platform can be found in the source link below.
Microsoft couldn't help mentioning last week that the Windows Store was on the cusp of hitting 100,000 total apps, and now the firm's announced on Twitter that the shop has officially reached the mark. Redmond may not best its competitors in the sheernumber of applications available on their respective storefronts, but it did manage to rack up the apps much faster. While it took roughly a year and a half for Apple's App Store to score the same badge, and approximately two trips around the sun for the Android Market, the Windows Store has arrived at the figure in just eight months. With a healthy app shop and Windows 8.1 on the horizon, Ballmer and Co. must be pleased with their eight-month-old OS.
