WWDC 2013!

So apparently I have not been blogging for the past few months as school have just started since April and there is not much time for me to blog. Quite a few events have taken place like WWDC, E3 and Google IO and there are tons of new releases which I will try to cover it here. Firstly, the WWDC brings updates to a new Operating System to the Mac, known as Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9). Cool features like multiple tabs in the Finder window as well as better support for multiple windows. However the star of the show for this year's WWDC is iOS 7. It has an all new User-Interface with Jony's "thin" design and easy access menu for users. It brings Air Drop support to the iOS devices making it similar to what the Mac does making iOS stand out from the previous versions.

Getting Started with Raspberry Pi

I recently got my Raspberry Pi (Model B) which I am in love with this ultra small computer. It sounds impossible to have a computer that is of the size of a credit card, but it is really amazing to be using it. There are a ton of projects that can be created with the Raspberry Pi, like building a remote-control car with the Raspberry Pi doing the computing and controlling of the car. This fantastic machine also allows programming in a language known as Python which you can do tons of interesting programs with it.

CES 2013 : Project Shield

Project Shield by Nvidia makes its debut at CES few days ago, showing off the Tegra 4 mobile processor in the "Xbox-controller" like game controller. It proclaims to have the world's fastest processor (Quad Core processor and 72 core GPU), and has a built in 720p Multi-touch retinal display. This device itself is powered by Android Jellybean and features a full size gaming controller. To me, it sounds pretty amazing since the device has all that you need to enjoy your game. Speakers, controls, monitor, wireless connectivity are all built in, and there's no need for additional accessories.

Microsoft VX-7000 does not work with Mac

The Microsoft VX-7000 webcam is not compatible with the Mac. Skype and Facetime do not work and often shows a black screen. Despite not being able to work on most of the applications, it can still run on PhotoBooth.

Happy New Year!

The year of 2013 has arrived and much more gadgets will be released this year. With much anticipation, the Retina Display iPad Mini (iPad Mini 2) will be the one that people is looking out for. Although it might not be true that Apple is producing such a device, it still has a high chance of production. Next in line is the iPhone 5S. Rumors surfaced on the web that iOS 7 will be announced sometime in March, following the announcement of the new iPhone this coming WWDC 2013. NFC technology might be introduced on the new iPhone 5S, following with much better processor and better performance but without much of hardware changes. Once again, all of this information are solely based on rumours and personal speculations.
