We do not intend to become one.” As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make “smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses.” From the start, we’ve always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have.

Two indie pretenders to the 'XCOM' crown

2012's XCOM: Enemy Unknown was a revelation. I'd never played the '90s original or its successors, but I was immediately drawn in by the reboot's story, world and, most of all, combat mechanics. At its heart, XCOM is a turn-based strategy game that pits your team of four soldiers against an alien invasion. As anyone who has played it at all will tell you, though, it's so much more than that. A sequel is coming this November, but in the meantime, a pair of independent developers are readying their own takes on the genre, and they both have the potential to be truly special games in their own right.

Crystal Dynamics is putting the 'tomb' back in 'Tomb Raider'

2013's Tomb Raider was a reboot of a game that defined the 3rd-person adventure genre. It represented a change in direction for the series, one that took cues from successful titles like Uncharted to breathe fresh life into what had become a tired franchise. But while critics rightfully praised the game's many strengths, the core of the original's gameplay -- tomb raiding -- was pushed to one side, with most of the game consisting of stealth, combat, and survival. For the timed Xbox exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider, developer Crystal Dynamics is bringing back tombs in a big way, and making some intelligent design decisions to update the old gameplay for the modern era.

WhatsApp getting updated with a myriad of new features including custom notifications

WhatsApp is gearing up to send an update to the Android version of its popular IM client, which will bring improved notifications handling to the fore. Apart from being able to mark messages as unread (as rumored before), users will now get an extensive menu to handle notifications from specific contacts.

This feature allows you to have a custom notification tone for each contact or group, which will help you distinguish between important and unnecessary messages.

The 'Mark as unread' setting can be obtained by long pressing on a conversation from the Chats menu. This is merely a self reminding feature if you want to read a conversation sometime later. The feature doesn't in any away impact the messages that your contacts might have already read.

In addition to these features, WhatsApp is also adding a low data usage setting to voice calls, which will ensure that minimal data is used while making voice calls on the app. It's a good feature to have, especially if you rely on WhatsApp voice calling while on the go.

It seems like the update is limited to Android for the time being, but it goes without saying that an iOS version is in development as well. Although the update notification is yet to go live on Android, users can grab the apk file manually from APK Mirror (link below).
