Following the announcement of a long term search partnership with AOL last June, Microsoft has shared that AOL’s search is now powered by its Bing search engine. The Redmond, Washington-based company made the announcement in an official blog post.
“As of Jan. 1, Bing powers AOL’s web, mobile, and tablet search, providing paid search ads and algorithmic organic search results to AOL’s properties worldwide,” the software giant said in the post.
Microsoft said last year that Bing claims over 20% of the US desktop search market, and now the company revealed that the search engine powers nearly one-third of US PC web searches.
“Partnering with Bing allows us to provide great search results and capabilities, across all screens, to our global audiences, as well as providing our brands valuable business insights and intelligence,” says Tim Lemmon, Head of AOL’s Search Business. “We’re looking forward to working together with the Bing team and bringing our audience to the Bing…

We’re only a few days into the new year, and the prevailing theme in our industry’s news cycle thus far (aside from the PSN outage) seems to be the games we won’t be playing in 2016. We kicked it off with Scalebound being delayed into 2017. Now, according to multiple sources, Ubisoft’s annual Assassin’s Creed release may also skip 2016.

Lenovo has just pulled the wraps off the Vibe S1 Lite, a toned-down version of the existing Vibe S1. The focus has remained on selfies but a few key specs have been changed.
For starters, the Vibe S1 Lite has a 5-inch FullHD IPS display, quite like the non-Lite model. The new smartphone, however, is powered by the Mediatek MT6753 chipset, as opposed to the MT6752, promising global LTE coverage, but a lower CPU clock speed (1.3GHz vs. 1.7GHz). There’s 2GB of RAM on board, as well as 16GB of storage, expandable via microSD cards up to 32GB.
It’s the front cam that is the headline feature, using an 8MP Sony sensor with large 1.4 micron photosites. There’s a flash to help in low-light situations – a feature gaining in popularity, but still somewhat rare. The 5-element lens is fixed-focus though. The primary camera looks good on paper too with a 13MP sensor, phase detection autofocus, and a dual-LED flash.
Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite
The Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite measures 145 x 71 x 8.6mm and weighs 129g, so while it’s a bit tall for a 5-incher, it’s certainly on the light side of average. It packs a 2,700mAh battery, which Lenovo promises is good for a day.
As already mentioned, the Vibe S1 Lite supports Cat. 4 LTE over some 10 bands on top of the quad-band 2G/3G. There’s Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS, and an FM radio receiver. The smartphone runs android 5.1 Lollipop.
Lenovo has put a $199 price tag on the Vibe S1 Lite, and it should hit the stores “early this…

Yesterday, Amazon UK and France pulled the Lumia 950 XL from its online stores. While the actual reason is not known, both UK and France have begun selling the Lumia 950 XL again.
While the black model on the UK site is back for sale, the white model remains out of stock. The French site of the retailer, strangely, shows the “Noir” model in stock but shows pictures of the white model. Maybe I’m lost in translation, but either way, the phones are back on the virtual shelves.
We’re not sure exactly why Amazon, among some other retailers, kept pulling the new Lumia phones from their online stores. The first couple of times were due to unusually high return rates, deeming horrible battery life to be the culprit.
This time around, Amazon UK notified its users that the complication was either of three things: inventory issues, description error, or the way an item was shipped.
For all we know, the black models and white models may have been labeled wrong and customers were getting the white model when they ordered the black one. (This didn’t actually happen, it’s just an example) We hope this is a learning experience for Microsoft or whoever is to…
