Angry Birds learn to drive. The next game featuring the famous birds is called Angry Birds Go! Game developers Rovio have shown a teaser video of the game, which we anticipate will be a new go-karting game. Are we looking at the possible Mario Kart of smartphones?

Facebook tests shared albums. A few users are testing the option to create shared photo albums with friends and colleagues. This function will be available to all users soon. On the flip side, Facebook has also revealed which governments have requested access to its users’ private information.

Sims 4 brings on the romance. The fourth installment of the famous life simulator will have more options to play out your love stories. But that’s not all: there will also be more places where your characters can have sex. The Sims 4 will be available for PC and Mac in 2014.

Skype celebrates its 10th anniversary. The most widely-used video calling service reaches its first decade with more than 300 million active monthly users. What’s in store for the future? 3D calls to begin with, which Microsoft says could be a new option for Skype. You can review Skype’s entire history in our feature article.
