Mario Kart 8 - A Worthy Successor

Mario Kart 8 is, as the name suggests, the latest instalment in the Mario Kart franchise. This Nintendo Wii U game is the successor to Mario Kart 7, a popular Nintendo 3DS title. Mario Kart 8 was a big hit at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles earlier this year and was, for many of the lucky journalists and industry employees that got their hands on it, a huge face-saver for Nintendo at what was seen as an otherwise lacklustre show for them.

 

Mario Kart 8 is not much of a deviation from other Mario Kart games. It's clear that it takes a lot of inspiration from previous titles in the series, offering familiar settings and controls, but taking advantage of the extra power of the Wii U to provide better graphics.

 

The controls have been tweaked slightly. Driving handles in much the same way it did for Mario Kart 7, with the karts being slick and responsive but not too twitchy. There are tilt sensor controls for the Wii U gamepad, but using them is optional.

 

 

 

Anti-Grav Racing

 

The big addition for Mario Kart 8 is anti-grav racing, which adds an interesting new challenge to an already fast-paced and exciting game. Instead of just driving on roads, you can now drive on walls and ceilings and enjoy fast loops and roller-coaster style racing sections. If you thought that older Mario Kart games were busy, you're in for a big surprise with this one. In fact, if you're a fan of the series and don't have a Wii U yet, now is a good time to Get cash for your old Nintendo Wii so that you can take advantage of the Wii U price drop and be ready for this game.

 

The Wii U gamepad integrates well into the game. If you're playing on a TV and have the gamepad on hand, you will be able to see opponent positions on the gamepad and it also offers an on-screen horn. This frees up TV real-estate for all of the stuff that is going on in-game, which is more important than you might think when you're barrelling through busy scenes.

 

On release the game will have multiplayer modes supporting up to 12 players and will also allow players to share their favourite racing moments via MiiVerse. This is a part of Nintendo's on-going push to improve multiplayer.

 

In Conclusion

 

Overall, Mario Kart 8 is a satisfying update to a much-loved franchise. It's unfortunate that Nintendo does not have a huge list of first party titles of this calibre, although maybe that will change by holiday season. It looks polished and entertaining and manages to achieve one of Nintendo's biggest goals, that of being accessible enough for the masses whilst still providing a decent challenge for the core gamer. This is the kind of game that enthusiasts have been waiting for and it could be enough to kick-start big sales of the Nintendo Wii U.

 

 

Tips On Making Your Smartphones Batteries Last Longer

Tips On Making Your Smartphones Batteries Last Longer

 

 

Cell phones aren't just used for making phone calls anymore, especially smartphones that are equipped with almost as many capabilities as a full-size computer. Many people use their phones so often that the batteries die during the day even if they are fully charged each night. Some smartphones from Bell.ca have longer-lasting batteries than others, but there are things you can do to make any cell phone battery last longer.

Turn Off Apps You Aren't Using

It's difficult to remember to close every app after you use it, especially if you are interrupted by a phone call before you are finished with the app. Closing apps is a great way to improve the battery life of your smartphone, so check your phone periodically and turn off any apps that are running in the background and eating up your battery. You should also turn off Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi when you are not using them because they drain the battery even when they're idle.

Dim the Screen

Your phone's screen is one of the biggest power drains, so turn down the brightness as much as possible to conserve the battery life. You can set the phone to adjust the brightness automatically, but setting it yourself in the 30 percent to 50 percent range is generally better for battery conservation. Most windows phones even have a setting that turns the screen off and locks it automatically whenever you aren't using the phone for a certain period of time. When you're choosing wallpaper for your phone, make sure that your wallpaper is dark-colored and avoid using live wallpaper because it creates a significant drain.

Turn Off App Notifications

Most apps automatically send notifications to your phone until you limit or disable them. Some of the notifications are useful, but most people end up deleting the majority of them without even opening the app they are associated with. It's especially important to limit notifications from apps that are very busy such as Facebook and Twitter. They will constantly send you notifications unless you limit them or turn them off completely.

Uninstall Widgets and Apps You Don't Use

Go through all of the apps you have downloaded at least once per week and uninstall any that you haven't used recently. It's also smart to limit the amount of widgets you use because they tend to update frequently and drain the battery.

Use Vibrate Sparingly

Sometimes it's necessary to put your phone on vibrate mode, such as when you're in a meeting or at the library. Many people forget to switch their phone from vibrate mode to ringtone mode and end up missing important calls. Another reason to use your ringtone instead of vibrate mode as much as possible is preserving the battery life of your smartphone. Vibrating the entire phone uses considerably more power than producing sound from your phone's speaker. If you battery is running low, consider turning your phone off completely when you aren't using it or turning off the sound and checking the phone periodically to see if you missed any calls.

 

Make money from unwanted items in the home

Make money from unwanted items in the home

Cleaning out your cupboards does not have to be a terrible chore that makes you groan out loud when you think about it. In fact you could actually be sitting on a very unorganised, messy yet valuable goldmine. That pile of junk growing in the cupboard under your stairs could earn you a little bit of cash and in this day and age that is a welcoming thought indeed. So do not delay any more. Get cracking and sort it out.

 

The wardrobe

When you are sorting through your wardrobe sometimes it can feel as though you might just fall into Narnia. As exciting as that might be it is unfortunately improbable. You are much more likely to come across an outfit, a dress or a suit that you have worn only once, twice or maybe even never. It seemed like a good idea to buy it at the time didn't it? We have all been there but there is no need to keep it. You will never wear it and it probably doesn't even fit any more. Instead of wasting unworn items and throwing your clothes away why not try to sell them? There are plenty of outlets available that will allow you to do this. Then when you do get the money you can buy some clothes that you actually do like.

 

Computers and laptops

When we purchase new electronics such as a computer or laptop it is hard to know what to do with the old one, especially if the original supplier does not dispose of it for you. Well, why not get paid cash for your old laptop, you might not think it is worth anything, but others surely won't. Old computers and laptops are constantly being refurbished making them as good as new, it could even be sold for parts.

 

Remember that gaming console?

It is not just the wardrobe where you will find unwanted or unused items all around the home. You will find DVDs, CDs, games and surprisingly even gaming consoles that are not used anymore. Vintage is in style and not wholly in the fashion world. Buying old gaming consoles has become quite a trend making what you thought was worthless increase in value.

Top tip: When selling a gaming console sell your games with it in a package as this will tempt more and more people to buy it, especially those who are into cult classics.

 

So take this advice. Do not keep leaving the job of cleaning out your cupboards on the bottom of your 'to do' list. Get on with it, you will feel better for it and maybe even a little richer. With all of the money that will be made from your old stuff that you consider to be 'junk' you can buy new products in their place or pay off those pesky bills that have been niggling at the back of your mind. Making money from unwanted items in the home does not have to be difficult or a chore. It is actually exciting, you never know what you might find.

Android Mobile Applications: Preferred Choice of Smart People

When iPhone is a more or less meant for only the exceptional class people and its unique features, technology and mobile applications are out of the reach of next-generation mobile users for being highly expensive, the Android mobiles have come up to meet the demand. From working executives to housewives to college goers, high schoolers and even the senior citizens of middle-income groups, Android is the preferred choice of all. Android mobiles are getting increasing popularity day by day and this is the reason that the mobile applications are also growing with an aim to fulfil the requirements of diverse sections of users.

It was as early as 2007 that Android operating system was released by Google. The system empowers most of the Smartphones of today and comes with the advantage of providing a wide range of features for both the applications developers and the end users. The mobile applications are just perfect for the next generation mobile users who always look for something challenging and something new. The best part is with the useful applications even a standard device can be personalized or customized according to the preferences of the individual user.

Android Oreo

Android mobile applications are developed using ordered and friendly Java language and span a wide range of functions. These apps are catered to almost all requirements of the next generation smart users from utility to entertainment including bill payments, banking, web-based apps, instant messaging, music, videos, shopping and social networking. The increased mobile penetration in the personal and professional life of common people has led to the growing demand for smartphones which are moderately priced and equipped for providing improved telecom services.

The dedicated Android application developers harness the capabilities of the software development kit (SDK) effectively and deliver outstanding mobile applications making way for a healthy competition.

The advantage of Android software development kit (SDK) is that it provides a development platform which is easy to use and comes with lots of inbuilt features that makes it possible to create quality applications. Lots of facilities like 3D graphic libraries and in-built code, Tutorials, debugging utilities, testing, handset emulator and multi-tasking on the operating system (OS) can be effectively used to develop conventional or modern scalable Smartphone applications. The Android OS has the capability of being seamlessly integrated with a large range of communication technologies like GSM/EDGE, CDMA, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, Bluetooth, UMTS and more. The added advantage is it can deliver corresponding services properly on the basis of the hardware of the underlying mobile device. To showcase their presence effectively the mobile applications must capitalise on the huge volume of data, quality of the services and speeds as the next generation 4G services are likely to be rendered on the operating system.

The Android SDK is open source software which undergoes constant tests and improvement under the self-motivated programmers. The mobile applications created in the SDK are cost-effective. The Android OS caters to the needs of 3G, accelerometer, compass, GPS and the standard camera functions so that the applications can provide support to mobile hardware configurations of present times as well as of future.

The World's Most Expensive iPhone Is Bought

The Most Expensive iPhone in the World : Now Sold

What to do if you have a few extra million dollars, and the filling of platinum Vertu smartphones running on Android OS leaves much to be desired? Of course, the best way out of this situation will be  to order a favorite smartphone with an exclusive design, and to use the exclusive materials of its case. That is precisely what a Chinese businessman has done! Specially for him, a unique Apple iPhone 5 has been made in the United Kingdom. By the way, this businessman preferred to stay anonymous, and it's quite clear why actually.

 

This device is made of 24-carat gold, and a real black diamond is used instead of the Home button. Moreover, 600 smaller and more “normal” diamonds are located throughout the phone's case, 53 of which combine the logo of Apple. The screen is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is much harder than any Gorilla Glass - this stuff is really just impossible to scratch, even on purpose. A designer needed 9 weeks to finish all work.

The customer from China had already owned a black diamond, so he did not have to pay the full cost of all the materials used. So, his iPhone 5 cost him quite "cheap" - just $ 15 million. So, if anyone has a black diamond, why not to order a similar remake?

 

The specs of this smartphone are the same as all conventional models have:

  • 4" Retina-display
  • 64 GB of internal memory
  • 8-megapixel rear camera
  • A dual core processor

The jeweler expressed his willingness to make one more smart phone of such a type, if a customer appears. Those ones who consider iPhone 5 Black Diamond to be too expensive can become the owners of its cheaper versions, decorated with gold or platinum with diamonds. The jeweler promises to sell them for $34,000 each.

Nokia Lumia 1020

Nokia Lumia 1020 | 41 MP Camera | Windows Phone 8

Nokia Lumia 1020 has been the most anticipated Nokia Phone since a long time that is why we think they had leaked the specifications so much through bloggers and other websites.

While we were attending the event we thought that after so many leaks Nokia would reveal a newer design that is way different than that of the leaks, but we were really disappointed when we saw that the design still remains the same as the leaked photos.

But still the phone did not let us down as when Stephen Elop started to demonstrate the capabilities of the phone we were astounded and astonished as they were far ahead of time and the leaks, but still the thing we liked the most was still the thing that was leaked and that is the 41 MP Camera that can take pictures looking same and giving the same feel as a premium DSLR.

Camera Quality

Personally i have been using Nokia Pure View 808 and it is been so wonderful using it, and whenever i needed to take any photos i always took out my Nokia 808 and started clicking and really i could not ditch it as it is having the best camera quality that i have used till now that also matching my best DSLR, but carrying a DSLR everywhere was the most difficult thing for me but after i got my Nokia 808 taking photos have been just a slide in my pocket away.

And when i tried out the new Nokia Lumia 1020 i saw that the camera was the same but with the windows phone improvements like the low light imaging and much more.

Phone Build

The phone build is great and has went mainly on it's predecessors like the Nokia Lumia 920 and 928, but still has adopted a lot of its build and work from the Nokia Pure View 808. The Poly-carbonate body is very good and appeals a lot to the eye, Nokia has learnt a lot from the 808 and know that size does matter and they have reduced the camera bulge to a huge extent. But, i still think that Nokia could have provided us with a Full HD Screen like the Pure View 808.

Price

Nokia has kept the price feature in mind and says that the phone will be launched around a mere price of $300 that is quite a nice grab for all of us, But still we cannot say anything till the phone arrives in the market officially.

Pros

  • The Hunch on the back has been lessened alot that helps in holding the phone more appropriately and it does not feel odd as nothing that big is bulging out from the back of your phone.
  • Camera has a lot of new controls which are great and helpful.
  • Shutter speed very high as close to 4 seconds or 1/16000.
  • The 720p display looks great as compared to others.

Cons

  • Windows Phone 8 is not a great platform as it has a lot of limitations.
  • Mediocre O/S
