That gives you 1,600x1,200px images - sure would have looked great on the original 3310's specsheet, but even today its plenty for a feature phone. Check out a couple of samples.

Microsoft Launches Xbox Game Pass for Hardcore Gamers

Microsoft is launching a new subscription service called Xbox Game Pass. This is essentially like Netflix for games, with those willing to pay the monthly fee being granted access to over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles.

We are increasingly buying access to content instead, whether it be music (Spotify, Apple Music), or TV and movies (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video). Even books and video games are getting in on the act, and Microsoft...

It’s hard to come up with good passwords, and even tougher to remember all of them. Password managers solve this problem by saving your passwords for you and keeping them protected until you decrypt them. Beyond that basic functionality, let’s look at further features of password...

Control Raspberry Pi Remotely From Any PC or Phone With VNC

While a compact, portable, touchscreen display is an option, you could abandon the idea of a dedicated display entirely in favor of accessing your Pi remotely. SSH is a popular means of doing this, but without additional software and configuration, this is limited to command line access. VNC is...
