App tops iTunes chart Katy Perry's Revenge 2

Posted by Shazy on Sunday, March 20, 2011

App tops iTunes chart Katy Perry's Revenge 2
A free, two-song version of Katy Perry's Revenge has rocked its way up to the top of the App Store charts.
Sponsored by Microsoft's search engine Bing, Katy Perry's Revenge 2 lets you tap your way through Perry's smash song "Firework" and her latest hit, "E.T.," featuring Kanye West.

In case you've never played a Tap Tap Revenge game before, you're challenged to tap one of three colored orbs at the correct time, as it passes through a circle near the bottom of the screen. Similar in concept to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, you'll rack up points for staying in rhythm as long as you can without a mistake, pressing and holding some notes for a longer period of time and collecting multipliers for bonus points.

Behind the action are images of Katy Perry and graphics related to the song (such a seeing animated fireworks at key times throughout the song).


This free app – which might make you watch a Bing advertisement before you play (it seems to be random) – also lets you access Katy Perry lyrics from Bing, read tour info and follow her tweets – all from within the app.

As with many other free apps, there's also an option to upgrade to the full Katy Perry's Revenge game ($4.99) with many more of her songs -- including chart-topping tracks like "I Kissed a Girl," "California Gurls," "Hot N Cold," "Teenage Dream," and "Waking up in Vegas."

What will the iPhone 5

What will the iPhone 5
iPhone 5
After iPad 2 has already been presented officially, rumors about him, of course, stopped, but now they have focused on the new facility, Kojima became the iPhone 5, whose output is traditionally expected in June or July of this year. And that's what is rumored that it can be expected. Firstly, there are suggestions that the new iPhone will be aluminum body instead of glass, like the iPhone 4. Secondly, the antenna will be moved to another location (presumably for the logo) that will eliminate the problem of signal loss that exists in the current model. Oh, and thirdly, perhaps the iPhone 5 will be a new processor Apple A5, the same as in the new iPad 2. Smartphones are the fifth-generation iPhone will be equipped with wireless high-frequency communication modules, short-range

Near Field Communications (NFC), which are designed for contactless payments via mobile devices. This was announced today, March 14, wrote the British newspaper The Independent, citing sources among cellular operators. Unfortunately until this is all that is in the network relative to iPhone5

Super-slim iPad 2 out 3/11 Starting at $499
All New Design is Thinner, Lighter & Faster with 2 Cameras and Big Battery
Apple is rolling out its iPad 2 to stores on Friday, March 11 and lines will be forming soon. The iPad 2 is the next generation of the tablet device and seems destined to become a hit.

Apple is not playing games in this economy by introducing at what is called an “early-adopters” high price, but is bowing it at $499 and up,

He iPad 2 is thin as a rake, 33% slimmer than the old iPad – but don’t whip it out at a lunch or dinner table no matter how much you want to show it off. That is an iEtiquette no-no — even cell phones should be left off tables unless you live in Wisconsin.

It will of course include web browsing, reading and sending email, photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading ebooks and much more. iPad 2 features an entirely new design that is up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad, while maintaining the same 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen. iPad 2 features Apple’s new dual-core A5 processor for blazing fast performance and graphics and now includes two cameras, a front-facing VGA camera for video-conferencing, FaceTime® and Photo Booth®, and a rear-facing camera that captures 720p HD video, bringing the innovative FaceTime feature to iPad usewantrs for the first time. Though it is thinner, lighter, faster and packed with new features, iPad 2 still delivers up to 10 hours of battery life* that users have come to expect. iPad 2 is available in black or white, features models that run on AT&T’s and Verizon’s 3G networks, and introduces the innovative iPad 2 Smart Cover in a range of vibrant polyurethane and rich leather colors.

“With more than 15 million iPads sold, iPad has defined an entirely new category of mobile devices,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “While others have been scrambling to copy the first generation iPad, we’re launching iPad 2, which moves the bar far ahead of the competition and will likely cause them to go back to the drawing boards yet again.”

With the new front and rear cameras, iPad 2 users can now make FaceTime calls to millions of iPhone® 4, iPod touch® and Mac® users so they can see family and friends anywhere there is Wi-Fi. Photo Booth lets you apply fun visual effects, including eight photo special effects like Squeeze, Twirl and Kaleidoscope, to photos captured by either camera.

iPad 2 comes with iOS 4.3, the latest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, with new features including faster Safari® mobile browsing performance; iTunes® Home Sharing; enhancements to AirPlay®;** the choice to use the iPad side switch to either lock the screen rotation or mute audio; and Personal Hotspot to share an iPhone 4 cellular data connection over Wi-Fi.*** Additional iPad 2 features include a built-in gyro for advanced gaming; HSUPA support for enhanced 3G upload speeds on iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G on AT&T, and HDMI Video Mirroring that lets users mirror their iPad screen on an HDTV using an optional adaptor.

The innovative new iPad 2 Smart Cover provides protection for the iPad screen while maintaining its thin and lightweight profile. Designed with a unique self-aligning magnetic hinge that makes it easy to attach and remove, the new iPad 2 Smart Cover automatically wakes iPad 2 when it’s opened and puts it to sleep when it’s closed, and has a soft microfiber lining to help keep the screen clean. The Smart Cover also folds into a stand for typing or viewing videos and is available in vibrant polyurethane for $39 or rich leather for $69 in a range of colors, including a (PRODUCT) RED one which helps support the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Apple also introduced two new apps: iMovie® and GarageBand® for iPad, both available on the App Store℠ for just $4.99 each. With iMovie, iPad 2 users can shoot and edit videos right on their iPad and post their movies to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and their MobileMe℠ gallery; watch them on their iPod®, iPhone or iPad; as well as view them on their HDTV using AirPlay and Apple TV®. GarageBand turns your iPad into a collection of touch instruments and 8-track recording studio, allowing you to perform with onscreen keyboards, guitars, drums and basses using multi-touch gestures–even if you don’t play a musical instrument.

iPad 2 runs almost all of the over 350,000 apps available on the App Store and there are more than 65,000 native iPad apps available from an incredible range of apps in 20 categories, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. The iTunes Store gives iPad users access to the world’s most popular online music, TV and movie store with a catalog of over 14 million songs, over 50,000 TV episodes and over 10,000 films including over 3,500 in stunning high definition video. The iBooks® app for iPad includes Apple’s iBookstore℠, the best way to browse, buy and read books on a mobile device.

iPad Smart Cover - Corporate Case iPad 2

iPad Smart Cover - Corporate Case iPad 2
iPad Smart Cover - Corporate Case iPad 2
"What is uniquely popular, we have called Smart Cover, - said Steve Jobs on stage. - We have developed this case under the iPad 2. Although it is not quite cover it in the understanding, to which you are accustomed to. ... It's a plaid" . Further, any number can play with the translation of the word cover, but one thing is clear - a remarkable case came out. He and the truth is not like anything - there really Apple has shown that its industrial design is one of the best in the industry. iPad 2 is so thin that it makes no sense to increase its volume, or else lose all the beauty. Apple is to protect only the screen, leaving intact the aluminum cover. Due to its flexibility iPad Smart Cover can act as a multifunctional base. The beauty of the cover is that it at any time can be removed for a few seconds: as fixatives used magnetic mount. One magnet is built into the tablet, the other - in the case itself. Together, they cling to each other. If you close the cover, the iPad will automatically turn off itself, without any buttons. Obviously, with the help of electromagnetic induction. The choice will be available five polyurethane colors for $ 39 and five leather for $ 69. The inner surface is covered by iPad Smart Cover microfibre to automatically scrape away the dirt screen tablet. In my opinion, a worthy solution. I do not need iPad 2, just wrap this cheholchik.

The Evolution of Touchscreen Gaming

Posted by Shazy on Monday, February 28, 2011

The Evolution of Touchscreen Gaming
The Evolution of Touchscreen Gaming
Touchscreen gaming has never been bigger. The next 12 months could quite possibly see an unprecedented trio of new touch-sensitive portables hitting stores: the Nintendo 3DS, the Sony NGP, and (fingers crossed) a new iPad will all be vying to get their hands on your gaming fingers in the months to come. But while most gamers’ first exposure to playing games with their fingertips is likely to have been around 2004 with the all-conquering Nintendo DS, it was by no means the first touchscreen-equipped gaming device to hit the market.

VECTREX
VECTREX -- The short-lived Vectrex home game console was a curious beast. Boasting vector-based graphics, a huge game library and several cool tech features -- including a light-pen peripheral that players could use to manipulate objects on screen in certain art and music games -- it was somewhat ahead of its time. Sadly, that time was just before the great video game crash of 1983, which made quick work of the quirky system.
APPLE NEWTON
APPLE NEWTON -- Before there was the iPad, there was the Newton. Long, long before. About 17 years, actually, which amounts to several lifetimes in the tech world. One of the first touchscreen-equipped portables to be capable of playing simple games, it wasn’t much of a commercial success, but still retains a tiny-yet-committed fanbase.
GAME.COM
GAME.COM -- Released in 1997, dedicated gaming portable Game.com had an impressive feature-set: a stylus, a touch-screen, twin cartridge slots, and an available modem that let it browse the web and send email. Less impressive was its twenty-strong catalog of games -- and less impressive still were its sales, thought to be under 300,000.
TAPWAVE ZODIAC
TAPWAVE ZODIAC -- Think 300,000 is paltry? The Zodiac did even worse. And in a lot of ways, it was a shame. Running the same operating system as Palm’s series of PDAs, the slick, curvy portable had ready access to a vast catalog of apps and games. Tech writers loved it, but nobody else did. After 18 months on the market, it was discontinued.
TABLET PC
TABLET PC -- Essentially just a regular laptop that swapped a keyboard for a stylus-based touchscreen, Microsoft sank vast sums of money into pushing the tablet PC in the early part of the last decade. Perfect for strategy games, board games, and casual hits like Diner Dash, they were nevertheless too expensive and business-focused for gamers to take them seriously.
NINTENDO DS
NINTENDO DS -- Although it was far from the first touchscreen gaming platform to hit stores, it was the DS that really caught the imagination of gamers and developers. Selling over 140 million units since its 2004 launch and still going strong, it’s second only to the Playstation 2 as the most successful game system of all time. A series of hardware refreshes have kept the platform current; the latest, due this March, will take the marque into the brave new world of stereoscopic 3D.
IPHONE
IPHONE -- Before the iPhone, gaming was an afterthought for many cellphone users. But once the App Store came along in 2008, throwing open the doors for small-time and big-league alike to make their fortunes selling 99-cent games to millions of eager consumers, the mobile gaming market exploded. Three years later, the iPhone is birthing its own mega-franchises: witness the cross-platform success of sales giant Angry Birds.
IPAD
IPAD -- After the disappointment of Newton, Apple could have been forgiven for swearing off the tablet forever. Fortunately for its legion of fans, the success of the iPhone apparently convinced them to take another crack at it. The result: 15 million iPads sold last year, with gaming as a major focus. And with rumors of an upcoming iPad 2 announcement reaching feverish heights, that impressive total could be just the start.
SONY NGP
SONY NGP -- Touchscreens on the front of your gaming portable? That’s so 1993. Sony’s next pocket-sized system, currently codenamed “Next Generation Portable” or NGP, puts a touch-sensitive pad on the machine’s reverse as well, and kits it out with just about every hot portable tech you can imagine. Latest word is to expect the machine in the U.S. this holiday season, priced around $300 depending on hardware options.
MICROSOFT SURFACE
MICROSOFT SURFACE -- Welcome to the future. Perhaps. Microsoft’s “Surface” technology promises table-sized touchscreens that can recognize objects placed on them, respond to gestures as well as simple taps, and can be used by multiple people simultaneously. In short, they’ll play one heck of a game -- in the event they ever get beyond the tech-demo stage. Outside a few custom corporate apps (and a starring role in MSNBC’s 2008 election coverage), they’re still a pipe-dream for home users.

New Apple MacBook Pro in March?

Posted by Shazy on Thursday, February 17, 2011

The newest MacBook Pro from Apple Inc. may arrive as early as next month, according to Apple Insider.

Apple Insider cited a Danish blogger who found out through an employee at an Apple retail store that the newest version of MacBook Pro should launch on Tuesday, March 1.
However, the March date could be pushed back as “Apple's product launches are often a moving target that can see last minute delays of several days due to unexpected anomalies in manufacturing or the company's supply chain,” noted Apple Insider.
The new laptop is said by Apple Insider to feature Intel’s new core architecture, Sandy Bridge, but PC Magazine laptop analyst Cisco Cheng noted that the rumor may not be valid.

"Apple is usually the last OEM to move to new Intel chips, and given that Sandy Bridge systems just resumed shipments, it's very unlikely Apple will have MBPs by March 1st," Cheng said in the report.

The last update for the MacBook series was done almost a year ago in April 2010.

Fake Robot Baby Provokes Real Screams

Posted by Shazy on Wednesday, February 16, 2011

Uncanny valley, heard of it? No worries, you're knee-deep in it right now. It's the revulsion you feel to robots, prostheses, or zombies that try, but don't quite duplicate their human models. As the robot becomes more humanlike, however, our emotional response becomes increasingly positive and empathetic. Unfortunately, the goal of Osaka University's AFFETTO was to create a robot modeled after a young child that could produce realistic facial expressions in order to endear it to a human caregiver in a more natural way. Impressive, sure, but we're not ready to let it suckle from our teat just yet.
