The next game in the Call of Duty (COD) series has just been leaked thanks to US retailer Target and UK retailer Tesco. Target let the name slip in an advertisement which offered $10 off any game when you reserve your copy of Call of Duty Ghosts.

Tesco actually leaked box art on their website, which appears to have now been removed from their website. Thankfully, Joystiq managed to grab a screenshot before it was taken down. Each retailer posted a separate release date in the November and December time frame, which is traditionally on par for the series.

Judging by the box art above, the game does appear to be developed by Infinity Ward and Activision.

The US' third largest carrier has just posted its first quarter financial report and things are not looking very good. The company posted a positive operating revenue of $29 million, but that is about all the good news there is.

Sprint says that it sold five million smartphones in Q1, which includes 1.5 million Apple iPhone's. Despite these high sales numbers, the company reported an overall net loss of $643 million, on total revenue of $8.79 billion. The company lost about one million subscribers, part of which were the direct result of Sprint beginning to shut down the Nextel network.

Subscribers to Sprint should not worry too much, though. The company is continuing to invest in infrastructure and has rolled out its LTE network in over 88 cities now, 30 of which were launched in Q1. The company says that it plans to continue that roll-out to another 170+ cities in the coming months.

T-Mobile had high hopes to be the first to market with Samsung's highly anticipated Galaxy S4, but it appears that the company will most likely be the third company to offer retail sales of the device in the US market. Late Tuesday night the company issued a statement that said it has been forced to delay the Galaxy S4 launch due to unexpected inventory deliveries.

T-Mobile will now begin offering the Galaxy S4 for sale on Monday April 29th, a full two days after rivals Sprint and AT&T begin selling the device. While to some two days is no big deal, T-Mobile was hoping to cash in on the early adopters who wanted the latest and greatest, but wanted to forgo the annual contract that comes with a new phone.

In a statement T-Mobile said:

We know customers are really looking forward to getting their new Samsung Galaxy S 4 soon. However, due to an unexpected delay with inventory deliveries, the Galaxy S 4 will not be available on http://www.T-Mobile.com as planned on Wednesday, April 24. Instead, online availability is expected to begin on Monday, April 29. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working with Samsung to deliver the device to T-Mobile customers as soon as possible.

For so long, a pre-built gaming PC cost so much more than a DIY rig. The DIY rigs are always down to the components chosen, and the skill of the system builder, but now Digital Storm are going to take not only the headache out of building an awesome gaming PC, but the extra cost of it, too.

Enter the Vanquish line of PCs from Digital Storm, which reduces the gap between DIY and pre-built PCs to between $23 and $58. The Vanquish line of PCs is a "carefully optimized selection of brand name, high-performance components to deliver a fluid smooth game playing experience".

Things are looking pretty middle of the road for gaming giant Nintendo as the company just closed out its financial year with an operational loss, but saw gains in net income.

Nintendo is expected to announce an 18.7 billion dollar loss for the 2012 fiscal year that just ended March 31st. This will be the company's second yearly loss and the red margins can be attributed to weak sales numbers of the Wii U console. Nintendo's CEO Satoru Iwata has predicted the company will post a 100 billion-yen operating profit for the 2013 fiscal year.

"I don't think Nintendo can achieve 100 billion yen," said Yoshikazu Shimada, an analyst at Tachibana Securities Co. "It's hard for Nintendo to meet the target despite the weak yen's tailwind." Hideki Yasuda, a Tokyo-based analyst at Ace Securities Co. also criticized the CEO saying, "Iwata hasn't produced good results in recent years. He can't avoid being criticized."

EA and Maxis has released a 2.0 patch for its popular city builder, SimCity. The patch is said to fix a number of issues, but users internet-wide are reporting that the patch causes more issues than it fixes.

The patch was said to fix things like issues with the transit system, high population building issues, and allowed users to now pump water from nearby rivers. While those things appear to be fixed, a thread on Reddit has popped up that tells a different story.

"This patch has created more bugs than it has fixed", said one Redditor. The list of new issues being reported is quite staggering actually. After the patch, sewage issues seem to run rampant, along with random phantom sounds from objects, buildings get stuck in construction, and even increased random game crashes.

While some say that the feature phone is dead, Nokia feels that there is still a strong market for a budget phone with a keyboard. This morning Nokia unveiled the Asha 210, a feature phone based around social media and the popular WhatsApp messenger.

Sporting full QWERTY keyboard and a dedicated WhatsApp button, the Asha 210 is being billed as "the most social Asha yet." The phone is based around Twitter and Facebook and gives users quick and easy access to WhatsApp. Owners of the device do get WhatsApp free of charge, which ends up saving about $1 per year.

Nokia says that the new Asha 210 will offer about 45 days of battery life on the single SIM version and about half that on the dual SIM model. The company expects to launch the Asha into the retail market in June at a pricing point of just $72.

We've seen AMD release their dual-GPU beast, the Radeon HD 7990 today, but NVIDIA don't want the spotlight to be formed directly on their competitor so they've chosen today to release a new set of drivers for their GeForce GPUs.

The GeForce 320.00 drivers arrive in beta form, and offer the usual performance improvements and bug fixes over the previous GeForce 314.22 WHQL drivers. There is some interesting support baked in, too, for the GeForce 800 series. If you have the latest GPU from NVIDIA, there's a 20% improvement for Dirt: Showdown and Tomb Raider.

A 6% to 7% improvement is offered for StarCraft II, Sniper Elite V2, Far Cry 3, F1 2012, and Metro 2033. The new GeForce 320.00 beta drivers also note "This is the GeForce Game Ready driver for Dead Island: Riptide, Neverwinter, and Star Trek". You can get the new GeForce 320.00 beta drivers here.

Swype seems to have come out of the rock that was shaped like the word beta, and has now reached the point of being called Swype 1.5 for Android. The latest version of the keyboard replacement for Android is now available on the Google Play Store.

Version 1.5 adds a quick shortcut to Dragon Mobile Assistant for those who have it installed, expands Living Language to 20 dialects, adds two new themes and refines both Smart Touch and Smart Reselect. The biggest change, is that it is available directly from the Google Play Store, and not from the Swype website.

Nuance is charging just 99 cents for Swype 1.5 on Google Play, but for a "limited time" only.

eBay for Android has been updated today, with the latest version receiving a face lift in both the visual and function side of things. eBay for Android has now reached version 2.2.

This way, the items in your cart on one device, transition over to another device. The option to pay for multiple items at the same time under a single checkout is now available, too.

The item search section of eBay for Android has been updated, and now includes the ability of inline search suggestions, autocorrect, and expanded international results when few to no results are returned. You can grab eBay for Android here.

US carrier AT&T have released their earnings for Q1 2013, which includes both their wireless and wireline businesses. Revenues were strong, with a total of $16.7 billion taken in for the three-month period, up 3.4% year-over-year.

$4.7 billion of operating income was recorded, a number that is up 4.1% year-over-year. AT&T took in an additional 296,000 postpaid net customers, with postpaid churn improved by 1.04%. 1.2 new million smartphone subscribers were added in the three-month period, with postpaid data ARPU up 18%.

Currently, AT&T cover 200 million POPs with their LTE network, which is running ahead of schedule. Before the end of the year, AT&T plan to reach 90% of their goal, which is to have 300 million POPs covered - a 50% increase. AT&T have also said that 60% of their customers have a 4G (which is HSPA+ or better) device, with over half of those being LTE-capable.

Most gamers know about Razer, but the news of them launching their new Comms platform might have missed their eyes and ears. Razer's Comms platform is an all-in-one communications solution, combining a VoiP client, instant messaging and IRC chat features.

All of this is wrapped into Comms, which can let players chat to their fellow gamers without having to alt-tab to another application to do so. Comms' in-game overlay seamlessly integrated with PC games, and can be used to display as a small window, or a smaller ticket that shows who is speaking at the time.

Razer have also promised an ultra-fast server infrastructure and complex audio algorithms that will reduce noise and echo cancellation in order to give gamers the most precise, crisp and clear communications with no time-outs or lag spikes.

Apple may have had a great day at their earnings call earlier, but we have also reported that we shouldn't expect any new iDevices between now and Q4 of this year. Why? Well, maybe because "demand for iPhone and iPad screens weakened amid concerns that Apple was losing its luster in the mobile device market".

This is from Reuters, who reports that LG Display, who are an iPhone and iPad screen supplier, have posted a drop of 74% in quarterly earnings. With Apple devices accounting for around 30% of LG Display's overall revenues, their drop in earnings could at least be tied to the lackluster iPhone sales.

Could this be another reason we won't see another iPhone anytime soon? Have Apple needed to go back to the drawing board with the increased competition from Samsung and co? Maybe an iPhone 5S isn't enough to inject sales of the iPhone for Apple.

Today is the day for Apple news, isn't it? We've just seen the iPhone makers earnings report for Q2 2013, and had news to not expect a bigger iPhone anytime soon, but now we shouldn't expect any new products between now and Q4 2013.

This isn't a rumor or another site rustling around the dark for some traffic, but from CEO Tim Cook himself who hinted that new products would come out during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year, continuing throughout fiscal 2014. This means that we shouldn't see many products unveiled between now and Q4, or around the holidays this year.

Personally, I think Apple are behind the ball and will have to come out with something that truly deserves the title of 'magical' and 'revolutionary' this time around. Google, LG, Samsung, Sony, HTC and more all have great products out and many more to come between now and Q4.

AMD are back yet again with the monster of Radeon GPUs, the dual-GCN rocking Radeon HD 7990. The Radeon HD 7990 features a number-busting 8.6 billion (that's with a B) transistors, 4096 stream processors and a total of 8.2 TLOPS of compute power.

6GB of GDDR5 is baked onto the HD 7990, four miniDisplayPort connectors and a dual-link DVI connector back it up to provide five monitor support through AMD's EyeFinity technology. There's three fans on the front of the HD 7990 to keep those two GraphicsCore Next GPUs cool, which it does so without making too much noise at all - 37.8dBA compared to NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 690 (NVIDIA's dual GPU) which cranks along at 47.5dBA (tests used with sound pressure at 50cm running Furmark).

AMD's ZeroCore power technology is at play, where it switches off the second GPU when not in use to save power (and heat). You can check out our own review on the Radeon HD 7990 right here.

For years, Apple and more specifically, the late Steve Jobs, defended the 3.5-inch display on the iPhone. It wasn't until Apple were getting kicked all over the market by consumers demanding a bigger display that Apple shifted gears and increased the display to 4 inches on the iPhone 5.

Apple aren't looking to make the iPhone screen bigger right now, with company CEO Tim Cook claiming that competitors have had to make sacrifices in multiple parts of the screen, such as resolution, white balance, color quality, screen longevity and portability in order to deliver consumers a larger screen. He continued:

My view continues to be that the iPhone 5 has the absolute best display in the industry, and we always strive to create the very best display for our customers. We wouldn't ship a larger iPhone while these tradeoffs exist.

Considering Apple released the iPad mini with its god awful low resolution screen (when compared to the Retina display in the third- and fourth-generation iPads), I truly have no idea where Cook is coming from there. Unless they're having issues securing large numbers of high-resolution, bigger panels from their partners.

Apple just reported their Q2 2013 earnings, where they saw a hefty $9.5 billion in profits over $43.6 billion of revenue - they also sold bucket loads of iPhones and iPads, but how is their market over in China? Booming, that's how.

Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer took some time from the earnings call to talk about the increasing market in China - where they were presented with a question about Apple's present, and future access in the country. Even with Apple not selling the iPhone on the biggest carrier in the country, the Cupertino iPhone maker claimed to have their "best quarter ever" regionally.

Chinese revenue for Apple was $8.8 billion, up 11% year-over-year. Sales of the iPad grew a huge 138% in the same time frame. Both the iPhone and iPad have seen record sell-through rates in stores throughout China. Apple maintain 11 stores in the country, a number that is set to double in the next two years.

Mobile device use has come under fire more and more in recent times, with numerous states outlawing talking on the phone without the use of a hands-free device. I've always contended that the action of holding a conversation is more dangerous than the act of holding the phone to your ear, but states apparently don't agree.

A new study finds that using a hands-free voice-to-text app is as distracting and dangerous as texting manually. The study showed that drivers who utilized hands-free texting apps didn't spend any less time looking at the screen. The study also found that drivers were just as distracted as users who manually input the text message.

This means that the act of composing the text message, not the act of physically inputting it, is what is the distracting part:

We did not find any differences between manual texting and the two voice-to-text apps that we tested in terms of driver response time and the amount of time looking at the forward roadway. The amount of time that drivers spent looking at the roadway ahead was significantly less when they were texting, no matter which texting method was used.

This means you should think twice before using that voice-to-text app as you are just as likely to have an accident. However, voice-to-text apps remain legal to use while manually inputting a text message has been outlawed in numerous states.

BitTorrent Sync, a new piece of software that operates like Dropbox in that it syncs files on different systems, has been released to the general public in its unpolished Alpha form. BitTorrent Sync makes use of the BitTorrent protocol to sync files across different systems without the need for a centralized server.

The best part is that it does all of this for free. There's no need to pay for a centralized server to host your files or manage the syncing. There are some downsides to not having a central server, but for the most part, BitTorrent Sync fills a much needed gap. You can check it out at BitTorrent Labs.
