Nvidia Says - PC Is Far Superior To Any Console

Matt Wright who is the consumer sales manager at the company - Nvidia, says that PC is the best platform for gaming. He says that it's functionality makes it 'far superior' to gaming consoles. Staunch console gamers would need some convincing to accept such a fact.

Wright said "We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC. The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings."

PCs are known to be more complex to build and maintain as gaming machines compared to next-gen gaming consoles. According to Wright Nvidia's goal is "to make PC gaming as simple as possible and its already becoming much more relevant and appealing to casual gamers."

Talking about Steam, Wright said "Steam now has more users than Xbox Live. There is a whole new generation who grew up playing on PC with titles like Minecraft or World of Tanks. There is a huge community who love playing their games on PC."

Small PC gaming boxes are a major part of Valve's Steam OS push to get PC hardware in the living room, with the first Steam Machines expected to arrive in 2014.

Since Nvidia's competitor AMD is making graphics chips for the Xbox One and PS4, it is quite natural for an employee of Nvidia to say what Wright Said.
What do you think? Is Wright correct? Does PC beat the PS4 and Xbox One at gaming? 

According to Samsung Survey - Men Take Twice As Many Selfies As Women

The word 'Selfie' has been made The Word of 2013 beating tough competition from 'twerk', 'binge-watch' and 'showrooming' as it has evolved from a niche social media tag into a popular word which is used commonly these days.

In a survey of 2000 people organized by OnePoll on behalf of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, 17 per cent of men admitted that they take 'selfies' compared to just 10 per cent of women.

About half of the British residents admit to uploading pictures from their smartphones immediately onto social media websites to share them with their friends and family.

The poll discovered that 5.4 million people in the United Kingdom post bragging photos within 10 minutes of arriving on holidays, hotel rooms, in bars and nightclubs and also of their bed.

BMW Inspired By Gorilla Glass Used In Smartphones

 

                                   

Gorilla Glass, the tough and damage resistant glass used in smartphones to prevent the screen to crack will be used in the upcoming BMW sports car - i8 Hybrid. The i8 Hybrid will be the first car in the automobile industry to use Gorilla Glass. It will be used in the car's rear glass and not the windshield for its sound insulating properties. The rear glass will consist if two layers, each 0.7 millimeters thick with acoustic sheeting in between. There are numerous advantages of Gorilla Glass, for both - smartphones and cars. Gorilla Glass has the same strength as regular glass used in automobiles but it is comparatively thinner and lighter which is important in enhancing the handling characteristics of the car. Since the i8 Hybrid is a sports car, handling really matters. 

PS4 Won't Experience Losses like the PS3

The PS4 and contents of the box.

The CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment - Andrew House announced that PS4 will not generate large large losses like the PS3 did. In an investor's meeting, Andrew told the investors that the developing cost of the PS4 is less than the PS3 due to its PC like architecture. So, it won't create a loss like the PS3 did when it had been launched.
Sony lost more than $3.5 billion on 2007 and 2008 because of the initial cost of the PS3 when it had been launched in November 2006 for $599. After the company reduced the manufacturing cost by introducing the slim model, it lost about $40 per system.   

Xbox Features Require Live Gold Subscription!

Microsoft has always been charging for stuff on the Xbox! They are going to do this for the Xbox One too?! The additional features on the Xbox One will need a paid Live Gold Subscription. Microsoft has announced the features for which you will need the Live Gold Subscription. The user will have to buy the Live Gold Subscription for accessing the console's OneGuide (TV guide), Game DVR service, Skype and the SmartMatch service. I was amazed seeing the OneGuide and Skype in the Xbox One Interface Demo video, but now this news has seriously let me down!
If you want to see the video showing these features of the Xbox One, click on this link:

PS4 Interface Video Leaks!

Not much has been revealed about the PS4 interface. Only a few screenshots. Recently, a video showing the interface of the PS4 (unintentionally) has been released. There was a livestream (live playing of a game) of the game Blacklight: Retribution. During the live streaming, the game crashed which revealed some of the interface of the PS4. Maybe the interface shown in the video is still to be developed (finishing touches) and not the final product.

Link to the video:

The video shows the game Blacklight: Retribution being played and then it crashes. Then the awesome interface is revealed! Enjoy!

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Will Have Underwater Gameplay!

It has been revealed that the upcoming game in the Assassin's Creed series (Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) will have underwater gameplay elements! While swimming underwater, the player is vulnerable to predators such as sharks, eels, stingrays. Since the game is set in the old times when there were pirates and stuff, the player doesn't have an oxygen tank or mask. There will be items called air pockets and air barrels which the ship crew passes to you. You need to pop your head into the barrel whenever you run out of breath. The player can collect treasure and upgrades for his ship while swimming underwater. There will also be secret passages and ways to smugglers' caves which the player can find underwater. You can get into the cave, kill some bad guys and have the cave's wealth for yourself.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will release in North American countries on October 29th and Europe on November 1st. I am so excited!

Playstation 4 Revealed!

PS4 with controller (DualShock 4)

Yes guys! Its finally here! The most anticipated gaming console of the generation! Playstation 4! On Monday night Sony revealed the long awaited PS4 at a press conference (E3) and showed some of its most notable game titles. The announcement was made the same day when the Xbox One announcement was made. Sony ended the press conference after revealing that the price for pre-ordering the Playstation 4 will be 399$. The Playstation 4 is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The price of the PS4 is 100$ less than the price announced for Xbox One. This may be a reason the PS4 will have better sales than Xbox One. Company President Andrew House told the audience that the PS4 will be able to play second hand games on the system (which Xbox doesn't). Sony also announced that they have teamed up with Gaikai to develop a cloud based gaming system that will allow users to play PS3 games streamed over the internet on their Playstation 4s. This feature won't be available when the PS4 launches but is planned for 2014. According to Jack Tretton, over 140 games are in development for the PS4 and there will be at least 100 games released in PS4's first year. Some of the confirmed PS4 games are - Killzone: Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Infamous: Second Son, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. There are 66 confirmed games for the PS4 in total. I don't know about India but the PS4 is releasing in mid November in the U.S.A.
The Playstation 4 is well designed and creatively crafted. It has a simple yet modern design - slim, light and high-style. The body of the PS4 has been divided into four sections as if four blocks have been stacked together as a single piece. The body will have a disc slot, some buttons, power indicator and a vent in the slim space between the sections at the back. The internal design of the PS4 is as awesome as the body.

Five Awesome Alternative App Stores For Andoid

There are numerous benefits of having an alternative for downloading apps on your Android phone. Individual App stores allow you to download apps without creating an account and provide you with APK (Application PacKage) files. Its pretty useful for those who don't have an internet connection on their phones. You can download the apps to your PC and then transfer them to your android device through a USB cable, Bluetooth or anything.
If you have a cheap unbranded Android phone (No offense meant) which doesn't can't access the Google Play store for some reasons, these alternative app stores will come to the rescue. These app stores have almost all of the apps available on Google Play store and also have some apps which the Play store doesn't.

1. GetJar
GetJar is one of the most popular alternative app stores around these days. It has appsolutely everything! It provides apps for Android, iOS, Symbian and even BlackBerry. While starting GetJar, it asks you your phone model (just like Play store does) and will only display apps that are compatible with your phone. The homepage shows the newest and popular apps (again, just like Play Store). Apps are put under categories which have sub-categories, making it easy for us to locate apps. When you download an app from GetJar, you receive a code for the app. Then, you need to go to GetJar's mobile site from your phone or tablet and use the "Quick Download" option to enter the code. The APK file will be sent to your device. GetJar also has several apps that developers have uploaded on it themselves.

2. Opera Mobile Store
Have you ever noticed the Opera Mobile Store icon in the Speed Dial panel while using the Opera browser?  It is another alternative for Play store and supports all the major platforms. The homepage of the Opera Mobile Store has a ribbon on top displaying tabs for platforms including Android, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Java, Symbian, iPhone and HTML 5. Select the platform you want and the apps available on it will be displayed. When you click on an app, you will see the summary, device requirements and ratings. The Opera Mobile Store can be accessed phone and also your PC which you can use to download and tranfer the APK file to your phone.

3. SlideME
Apart from containing the apps from Play store, SlideME also has apps uploaded by developers that are not on the official store. The store offers a filter for sorting apps and arranging them by price, popularity, rating, etc. and also provides additional details for apps such as - does the app require a Google account, Which Android versions does it support and whether the device needs to be rooted. Apps can be download by scanning the QR code with your device, which takes you to the site from where you can directly download the app on you phone.

4. NeXva
NeXva is another multi-platform app store. It has the same features like all of the above, including categories, availability on all platforms and information about apps. When you download an app from NeXva, you are given three options- one will send the link to your email from where you can download the app, the second will provide you a link to download the app to your phone. The last and the most convenient option is to scan the QR code of the app, just like in SlideMe.

5. Handango
Handango has been on the internet since 1999. Because of its long history, it has apps available on every platform and also for Palm OS. Options to download apps are similar to the other app stores. You can either have the link sent to you by Email or download the APK file to your PC.

YouTube Gets Greedy

Our favorite, one and only, YouTube has started charging money for subscribing to some channels. I guess that the money they earn from online advertisements is not enough for them. YouTube has finally made this decision after years of experimenting ways of earning revenue. Malik Ducard, YouTube's director of content partnerships says "This is just the beginning". Maybe this guy just wants to tell us that there are going to be a lot more paid channels coming on YouTube. Now that they have introduced paid channel subscriptions, it is quite possible that TV shows, movies and even TV channels may get to YouTube, making the website a step closer to cable TV.

With this move, YouTube will surely earn a lot of money and compete with paid video websites like Hulu and Netflix which have millions of paying customers. It has been announced that YouTube will keep slightly less than half of the revenue generated by paid channels.

Prices of each paid channel start from US$ 0.99. Unfortunately, none of these channels will be available in India. 

For a list of the paid channels on YouTube, here is a link:

BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) coming to iOS and Android

BlackBerry has done the most unimaginable thing to do. BBM, one of the most popular messaging apps, which was only made for BlackBerry devices, will also be available on iOS and Android devices this year. The BlackBerry Messenger will also be upgraded with new features such as "Channels" that companies and brands can use to send updates to users who subscribe to them.
 The BBM announcement was made at the end of a two-hour keynote speech at BlackBerry's annual Live developer conference. Thorsten Heins, the CEO of BlackBerry, said that BBM has 60 million active users who are sending more than 10 billion messages per day.
The phone makers also announced that they would work on pre-installing BBM on some phones but no company names have been mentioned yet. Rumors have been ignited that BBM will be available on the Android Play Store from 27th June, but Blackberry has not made an official confirmation about the release date yet.
I guess that this stupid move will weaken one of BlackBerry's last remaining attractions and BlackBerry will soon be totally dominated by other smartphone companies. It is also not sure that BBM will do well in the Play Store or with tough competition from WhatsApp, and Viber.
Over the years, the popularity of BBM has decreased a great deal, right now it has an active user base of around 61 million users but WhatsApp has a user base close to 200 million.

People Not To Mess With

Introduction

The world is full of stubborn and arrogant assholes who think they can mess with who ever they want. These guys think they are unbeatable but as we all know these are the ones who get their asses kicked at the end. If
you are one of these kind of guys and you are reading this, you better continue reading. This post may save you from the dangers that await you in the future.
I myself was one of the stubborn idiots a year ago, but I learnt the most valuable lesson in life when I messed with the wrong guys. So, in this post I am going to warn you about these people and advise you, so that you can stay safe.

Mafia
The Mafia are a worldwide criminal organization. Members of the mafia, can be anywhere around you and you won't even know it. It is quite possible that some of your family members may be in the mafia too (If you live in Italy or U.S.A). This basically means that you aren't safe anywhere. If you want to avoid the Mafia, stay away from handsome men dressed in formals like tuxedos and who have an Italian accent. This is the description that suits a mafia gangster the best.

Yakuza
Yakuza, just like the Mafia, are another organization. Yakuza are spread out all over Asia, so if you live somewhere in Asia, and you want to be secure, don't stay around heavily tattooed people with fit bodies. The Yakuza mainly operate in Japan and they always carry a deadly sword (katana) which they keep hidden in their clothing. So you better not act like a wild boblo when they are around unless you want to get sliced up like a chicken.
Tip: Do not, I mean "DO NOT" mess with people who you think are related to Yakuza, they will call for backup immediately.

Indian Gaoties
Gaoti- Uncivilized rowdy villager
These are one of the most dangerous people I have come across. Not all of them are bad guys but watch out for the teenage ones.They roam around the town looking for opportunities to cause trouble. If you see any of them walking around, never stare at them into their eyes, never retaliate if they taunt you with abusive words and get away from the spot as quick as you can.

Taliban
If you ever see a guy with a really long beard and a thick turban snooping around the place, run for your life!
He's going to plant a bomb!

Note: I am not a racist and no racism meant in this post.

Money Making

I guess that's how Lil Wayne actually earns money.

Music These Days

Most of the music you get to hear now days is just so lame and clearly displays lack of effort. All of the new artists always fail to entertain me. All these guys (especially rappers) know is to show off their money, cars, and girls in their music videos, get high on drugs and booze and use the word 'nigga' repeatedly in their songs. There are only a few good artists left in this world now and I hope there are many more to come.

Drake
Never in my life have I come across such a boring and dull rapper. Just try listening to his raps, it sounds as if he doesn't even feel like rapping. His songs make me think that somebody woke him up around 4:00 AM and offered him some booze to make the song. All of his songs prove his laziness.

Adam Levine
Maroon 5 has some good songs but admit it, they start sounding irritating over time. The most irritating thing about their lead singer Adam Levine is his high pitched lady-like voice. He sings as if someone is squeezing his ass with a huge monkey wrench. I have an advice for him, he should join an opera instead of being in Maroon 5 (they anyways aren't too successful).

Lil Wayne
Another dumb rapper like the rest of the lot. Looking at him, I sometimes wonder "Is he possessed or something" (with that dumb witch like voice of his). But I am sure that's not true, he's just too high on cocaine
(he looks as high as the Empire State building in his music videos). I hope he gets sent to a mental asylum soon.

Justin Bieber
The most annoying person that the human civilization has ever faced. I agree that no matter how annoying Justin is, we should just leave her alone, she might hit us with her purse, but she just doesn't stop. Justin had crossed the limit when she insulted Metallica. Justin's songs aren't that great either but most of all, its his personality that makes him a loser. Being a loser affects his music in large way too.

T-Pain
I'll be honest, this guy heavily relies on auto-tune for singing. He cant sing well without it. Try hearing his songs and you will notice the auto-tune going on almost till the end of the song. He would actually deserve all the awards and the credit for his chart-topping hits if he had actually sung them.

It really disappoints me that not a single awesome track has been released for the past few months. If some of these guys can't sing well, then why don't they just pick up a guitar or play drums and try mastering it. I wonder what happened to good old rock and roll. I guess the only decent rappers left now are Eminem and 50 Cent.

What I Can Do For A Pizza

Yo Mamma Jokes!

Yo Mamma jokes are one of the best ways to insult an enemy in a really funny way. Every Yo Mamma joke is full of swag and ridiculous humor. Yo Mamma Jokes can really come in handy at school, at home or even at office (if you are a rowdy middle aged guy) to have a good laugh with your homies.

Joke 1
Yo Mamma so fat, that when she sits on an iPhone, it turns into an iPad.

Joke 2
Yo Mamma so fat that she doesn't need the internet, she's already world wide.

Joke 3
Yo Mamma so fat that when she walked by the TV, I missed three seasons of "Two and a Half Men".

Joke 4
Yo Mamma's teeth are so yellow that the traffic slows down when she smiles.

Joke 5
Yo Mamma so ugly that when she joined an ugly contest, they said "Sorry, no professionals."

Joke 6
Yo Mamma so stupid that she returned her ice cream saying that it was cold.

Joke 7
Yo Mamma so stupid that when an intruder broke into the house, she dialed the police number on the TV remote and was searching for the call button.

Joke 8  
Yo Mamma so fat that when she stepped on the weighing machine, it displayed my phone number.

Joke 9
Yo Mamma so fat that she wears two watches because she occupies two time zones.

Joke 10
Yo Mamma so stupid that she climbed a glass wall to see what is on the other side.


Note: This post is not meant to hurt anyone's sentiments and is only meant for entertainment. If anyone finds it inappropriate or disrespectful, here's a tip, swap the "Yo Mamma" in each joke with your enemy's name.

The Marketing Genius

Haha! I am surely going to do this if I ever start a repair company.

Rascala and Temur (Chibi Manga)

Yippee! Rascala and Temur has gained enough attention that it gets displayed as the first result when search "Rascala and Temur" on google.

Rascala and Temur

Warning : This is probably the most nonsensical post of all time and does not make sense at all. So be ready to do a lot of facepalms. 

And one more notice: If you are an Indian and don't find this post entertaining, here's a tip, assume that the dialogues are in hindi so you can translate them in your mind as you read.

Rascala takes another look at his watch while sitting in the lobby of his buddy Temur's building waiting for him. The lift door opens after an hour and Temur walks out. He spots Rascala sitting in a corner and rushes towards him. As soon as Temur comes closer, Rascala sees a large bulge in his mouth. Rascala uses his logic      asks Temur "Hey! There's something in your mouth and its big. And big things are usually tasty!".
Temur opens his mouth revealing two large spit coated laddus. Now, Rascala being a dumb person starts screaming with his mouth wide open for no reason.

For the westernized Indians who have forgotten all about their culture, this is a typical laddu.

Temur taking advantage of the situation takes a deep breath and with full force launches a laddu from his mouth and shouts out "Yeh Leh!". The laddu covered with huge amounts of saliva spit out by Temur enters Rascalas mouth. Rascala faces the torture and tears roll down his cheeks. *Emotional music plays*
