After issuing a recall of more than 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 smartphones sold around the world (including a million phones sold in the US), Samsung has begun providing customers with replacement phones. But that could lead to a bit of confusion: how do you know if you have an old Galaxy Note 7 or a new one?
It turns out there are a few simple ways to find out.
First, before you even open the box a phone comes in, check the label.

The US cable industry's biggest lobby group has dropped the word "cable" from its name in a rebrand focusing on its members' role as providers of both Internet and TV services.
The National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) will henceforth be called NCTA-The Internet & Television Association. NCTA will be maintained in the name as a nod to the group's past, even though the initials no longer stand for any particular words.
“Just as our industry is witnessing an exciting transformation driven by technology and connectivity, NCTA’s brand must reflect the vibrancy and diversity of our members,” NCTA CEO Michael Powell (a former Federal Communications Commission chairman) said in today's announcement. The group's "mission to drive the industry forward remains the same," he said.

This year Intel announced that it was ending development of its Atom chips for smartphones and scrapping the next-gen Atom chips that had been planned for tablets and 2-in-1 PCs. Instead, Intel would develop modems for smartphones and low-power processors (among other things) for drones, smart home devices, and other Internet of Things products.
Now it looks like Intel might not be quite as finished with mobile processors as we’d thought.
In an interview with PCWorld, the president of Intel’s Client and IoT division Venkata Renduchintala said the company ceased working on “a couple of mobile SoC products that I don’t think were worthy to conclusion.”
But he goes on to say:
That doesn’t mean to say we’re no longer doing mobile platforms.

A game developer has been banned from Steam after users claimed that it had attempted to sue 100 users of the platform for $18 million (£13.8 million)—for the crime of leaving bad reviews.
Digital Homicide, which has released dozens of small games mostly available for a couple of quid each, had its titles removed from Valve's popular digital distribution platform on Friday night. Its boss James Romine was granted a subpoena by a court in Arizona apparently allowing him to demand the release of "identification and associated data" of anonymous Steam users.
The lawsuit listed in turn the misdemeanours of dozens of John/Jane Does, which include counts of "harassment," "stalking," and "cyber-bullying."
