The Rebel Assault games, released in the early '90s, were among the first titles to fully utilise CD-ROM drives, making them a significant part of gaming history.

Chicago man's insane Lollapalooza view from miles away shocks internet, Samsung reacts
When Chicago's iconic Lollapalooza music festival kicked off, thousands of fans poured into Grant Park for four days of live performances. But one man, unable to secure a ticket, found a hilariously unconventional way to enjoy the show from the comfort of his own balcony. From his high-rise residence, the man had a direct line of sight to the distant festival grounds using his phone's powerful zoom (Instagram/brianredefine) Instagram user Brian shared a now-viral video showing what, at first glance, looked like a grainy, low-quality stream of a Lollapalooza stage. The caption read: "When you can't go to Lollapalooza but have a Samsung." As the video begins, viewers can barely make out the performers on stage as American singer Dominic Fike performs. Then, in a moment of surprise, Brian zooms out, revealing that he was actually filming the festival from kilometres away, across a sprawling view of Chicago's skyline. From his high-rise residence, he had a direct line of sight to the distant festival grounds, and his Samsung's powerful zoom brought the far-off stage into view. The sudden reveal had many viewers doing a double-take. Even Samsung decided to join the fun, dropping a playful comment under the post: "No matter where you are, you've always got the best seat in the house #withGalaxy." 'At first I was like this picture quality isn't doing it for me in the slightest, then you kept zooming further and further out,' wrote one commenter. Another echoed the sentiment: "At first, I was like, 'Why is the quality so poor?' Then you zoomed out, and my jaw literally fell to the floor." The impressive (and slightly absurd) long-distance festival viewing left people in awe of the phone's zoom capabilities. One amused viewer joked: "Bro can zoom into someone's future."

Samsung edges ahead of Apple in super-premium smartphone segment: IDC report
India's smartphone market shipped about 70 million devices in the first half of 2025 with a 0.9 per cent year-over-year growth, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, the second quarter of the year reported growth of 7.3 per cent year-over-year by shipping 37 million smartphones. In what can be called a notable shift in India's smartphone market in the first half of the year, Samsung surpassed Apple in the super-premium segment, devices priced around $800 (about Rs 70,000 and above). According to IDC data, Samsung overtook Apple for the leadership position at 49 per cent and 48 per cent share, respectively. Overall, the super-premium segment grew by over 15.8 per cent, and its share remained stable at 7 per cent. The report revealed that iPhone 16, Galaxy S25/24 Ultra, S25, and iPhone 16 Plus were the key models. Although narrow, Samsung's lead marks a significant milestone, as this is the first time ever that the South Korean smartphone maker has surpassed Apple in the lead in India's ultra-premium category. Based on the report, this growth was largely propelled by the remarkable sales of Samsung Galaxy models such as the S25/S24 Ultra and S25. On the other hand, Apple's position was consolidated by the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. Even after falling behind Samsung in the segment overall, Apple's iPhone 16 emerged as the single best-selling smartphone in India in the first half of 2025, accounting for four per cent of all shipments. This indicates that while Samsung got more super premium units collectively, individual consumers continued to favour iPhone 16. According to experts, this shows a competitive and evenly matched high-end market in India, which is also one of the world's fastest-growing smartphone regions. IDC data also shows that India's overall market grew by a meagre one per cent year over year in the first half. In simple words, the first half of the year saw Samsung take a slim but meaningful lead over Apple in India's super-premium smartphone segment. Samsung's performance is also being attributed to its Galaxy S25 lineup, introduced earlier this year, with advanced AI capabilities and sleek design, which seem to have resonated with consumers. On the other hand, iPhone 16's strong showing suggests Apple's continued appeal in the same segment.
