Temple Run: a mere waste of time





Temple Run is a 3D app available on Google Play and App Store. The player is a man who has to run around old temples in quest of an idol. The more you run and the more you score; the higher you score.
The game is indeed addictive no doubt specially for those who are simply bored and have nothing better to do. 

It is a little too lengthy; running on and on to gather points and rewards and reaching next levels could be entertaining for some people but not for most users. Users should have been able to discover at least 1 idol after a certain number of levels passed. Otherwise, they could keep running forever. That is why it is a game for those who have nothing else to do! 

Overall, the graphics are awesome but the game lacks much appeal. Also, at times if you are playing and receive a call, message or email the game might not resume from where you left it. 



Apple unveils new Retina MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, and iOS 6 at WWDC 2012

The official Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference 

Apple rocked the Tech world at the 2012 Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) last month, announcing updates to iOS, MacBook and Siri, plus a highly- anticipated Facebook integration. iOS 6 was the real show-stopper at Monday's keynote address. Scott Forstall, Senior Vice President of iOS software, introduced a laundry list of updates to the new operating system which will be available on iPad, iPhone and iPod devices come fail. 

Apple also announced updates to its line of MacBooks. The new MacBook Air will enjoy a ajor power upgrade with a third generation Core processor with Intel turbo boosting, up to 3.2GHz. The computers will also support up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB of flash storage. 



The 'Next Generation' MacBook Pro will overhaul the existing computer; the retina display and 15.4-inch 2880 x 1800 screen makes it the world's highest-resolution notebook display. The Next Generation is about as thin as a MacBook Air, and is the lightest MacBook Pro in Apple history.

What makes them comparable?Samsung Galaxy SIII vs iPhone 4S




  The latest buzz in the gadget market is comparisons of the newly launched phone models by top brands including Apple, Samsung, HTC and so on. Although Apple enjoys being the pioneer in tablets and smart phones but other brands have also fought their way up to a head-to-head competition. However, I believe each brand is unique in its features and they fit according to the user’s preference or comfort of use.

  • OS: iPhone now with the latest iPhone 4S has an iOS while Samsung Galaxy SIII runs on Android Ice  Cream Sandwich.
  • Design: Samsung SIII has been made to look exactly like the iPhone; I mean they be more creative than that.
  • Body: iPhone 4S weighs almost the same as Samsung Galaxy SIII; the former weighs 4.9 ounces   while the latter is 4.7 ounces.
  • Display: Samsung SIII scores a little high in this area because it has a horizontally wide display as  compared  to iPhone. 
  • Apps: Both support the same apps except for those available in iTunes (some of them).
  • Price: iPhone 4S still holds its price higher than Samsung SIII in almost all countries.   


Overall, Samsung SIII is so far their best of creations in terms of operating system and supported features.
