Injustice 2 is the most popular superhero-based fighting game which brings DC's finest heroes and its most sinister villains together in engaging and hyperrealistic fights. Aside from the usual DC characters, we've seen some outliers like Mortal Kombat characters and the new Fighter Pack 3, now features the Atom, Enchantress and all four of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (who apparently fight as one). 

The Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition and the Ultimate Pack feature a grand total of nine additional playable characters, along with three Premiere Skins that can change select fighters into alternate characters with new skins, voices and dialogue lines. They also include two exclusive Gear Shaders that enable players to customize the look of their roster with alternate color themes.

Qualcomm reportedly asking for more money before accepting Broadcom’s takeover bid

Coolcaesar at en.wikipedia

Looks like Qualcomm wants to resist a bit more before considering accepting a takeover deal from Broadcom, at least according to a Reuters report. Supposedly Broadcom’s US$70 per share offer, while setting a record, “undervalues” Qualcomm and doesn’t take into account any regulatory hurdles that they might need to overcome once the deal is done. According to Reuters sources, Qualcomm might object to the sale as early as November 13 but will probably take a few days before issuing a fuller response.

On Broadcom’s side, it seems they’re ready to raise its bid, according to the report. And it hopes to submit its own selection of directors for Qualcomm’s board. And if the shareholders want a deal, they could possibly vote for new board members and force Qualcomm to negotiate. Neither company is commenting on the report at the moment.

Google Pixel Buds start shipping in the US from the Google Store

While the Google Pixel Buds were announced at the same time as the Pixel 2 devices, it’s taken a bit more time for Google to start shipping these out. Android Authority reports that Google has started sending out shipping notifications for early orders. The Pixel Buds is a Bluetooth headset that has a wire that runs between the two buds so you don’t have to worry about losing one of them. You can just have the hanging off your neck when you’re not using them.

One of the Pixel Buds’s biggest selling points is its ability to do real-time translations via Google Translate. You just have to have the app open and it can translate as it happens 40 supported languages. You’ll hear these translations over Pixel Buds. Of course, it also comes with Google Assistant support, too. The Pixel Buds come in Just Black, Clearly White, and Kinda Blue and retail for $219. Hopefully it makes its way here soon, too. Let us know if you get notifications from Google. Best Buy Canada will also be carrying the headset.

Green lines start showing up on some Apple iPhone X OLED screens

If you’re experiencing issues with your iPhone X, it’s best to bring it back to the store. Just like what some users are doing with the new Apple iPhone. Some units seem to be displaying a green line running vertically across the side of the display. It doesn’t show up immediately, instead it manifests after a while. GSMArena speculates the issue could be because of the display controller or because of a ribbon cable connecting the screen. We can’t say how widespread the issue is but hopefully it isn’t as far-reaching. Although with Apple adopting OLED for its phone for the first time it doesn’t come as a surprise to us that there are some issues with it. Apple hasn’t commented on the issue yet but those who did experience it were able to get their phones replaced under warranty.
