The talkative SIRI: so says Microsoft

Microsoft continues its jibes with apple this time using Apple's own Siri. Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung has been so interested in ads comparison off late, Gone are the days when companys makes ads just for their brand without intruding another, they are not even bothered about the corporate identity, the only thing that matters is the competition in respect to technology and innovation.

This time around microsoft says Apple should try to talk less and do more: well see video here

BBM coming soon to your iPhones and Android

Blackberry's mission for transformation has taken a weird suprisingly nice and awesome turn, depends on which angle  you view the picture but Yes! the topic is as clear as YES, BBM is coming to iOS and Android devices like iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and possibly HTC, prior to Permission been granted by Apple and Google respectively.

Not too long ago the DoD (Department of Defense) of the USA authorised the use of Samsung Knox and Blackberry's Balance provisionally. The aforementioned technology enables high security between personal and work data ensuring that BYOD will not be much of an issue. Read more about BringYourOwnDevice here.

Now to the main thing

The Main competior of BBM has been WhatsApp, Viper and maybe iMessage and most of them except iMessage spans across various platform, however, Today, at the company's annual Blackberry Live 2013 conference, CEO Thorsten Heins announced that this summer they will make the trademark BlackBerry messaging service available as a third-party app to the two most popular smart platforms - iOS and Android.

Overview of Blackberry Messenger



Few weeks ago on an interview
Question: There have been a lot of questions this week about whether RIM will ever license out the BlackBerry platform, and your answer has been that “we’re open to discussions”. Will we ever see BlackBerry Messenger on other platforms? We’ve have seen RIM put an Android app player onto the PlayBook. Would we ever see it go the other way? Maybe not full out licensing, but maybe pieces of BlackBerry services showing up on other platforms?
Thorsten: You should never rule this out; business is very very dynamic. It’s dynamic on the device side as well as on the software side. So never say no to anything. We’re constantly exploring our room to maneuver and our room to explore other businesses so I wouldn’t say categorically no to it. There is a time where this might make sense, and I have a team looking into this. I’m not saying I won’t license. People are again putting this in a black and white spot. I’m open for licensing if it makes sense. But it’s not what I was hired for; I was not hired to build a licensing company. I was hired to take BlackBerry to new heights. And that’s what I will do with my team.

BBM Video Chat


We can expect it any time soon this summer meaning (In few months time: June July tops) as soon as it is approved by Apple and Google but still lots of information remains unknown but in coming weeks this post will be updated to keep you informed.

iPhone 6 Gear up to face Galaxy S4

The War between Apple and Samsung has been waged on various fronts even in the market of gadgets which saw a true competitor in Galaxy S3, this war will not end soon


After Samsung Announced their flagship smart phone in the personality of Galaxy S4 of SGS4 Apple felt so uncomfortable, you can ask me how i knew, won't you? i really don't know however, there are many factors that will guide my assertion.

They opened a website for named 'Why iPhone' they are currently trying to keep their fans/customers at bay until they release the new iPhone 6, they are even planning to begin production of a cheaper version of the iPhones; it is so unlike the big apple company to go down to satisfy the market base from grassroot, that's because for the first time for over some years now, they feel threatened.

As at now Apple is planning to change their new device production to a 6 months circle against the earlier 1 year, which means every 6 months we can be expecting a new device or upgrade of an old one from the Fruit company



I for one feel that the SGS4 is a real game changer, it will solidify Samsung's grip on the market, despite the fact that Galaxy S4 has almost completely similar look with its predecessor (Galaxy S3) the gadget still mans lots of user interesting features that Apple has no reply for, and if at all they will have a reply for it, they will surely have  to work even harder than before,
This is What Apple had to say on the wake of the Announcement of SGS4 











 
And this is what they have for you Fans of Apple, a completely awesome sample design of iPhone 6 to rival the SGS4, with a projecting screen and keyboard.
Here are some other iPhone 6 Videos

The rise of Temple run:
Just last year Rovioe finish producers of angry birds teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Skies Studio to build an Angry Birds Rio version of their ever-popular game to coincide with the launch of Rio, the movie. That turned out to be quite the success, as Angry Birds Rio saw 10 million downloads in its first ten days on the market.

Just like the finish made Angry birds that was Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds and was first released for Apple's iOS in December 2009 and later for other platforms, Temple run which was taken from the concept of it's endlessness, as the single player will have to control explorers with simple touch gestures to run as far as possible.
The first Temple run was released for the iOS mobile platfrom August 4, 2011 and by December 2011 it was already the 50th most-downloaded app in the iTunes store, when it was release for the Android platform in March 27, 2012 it was downloaded over a million times in less than 3 days

Disney announced at E3 2012 that it would provide Imangi Studios (creator of Temple Run) with the movie's licenced property for the game's development.

Temple Run: Brave keeps true to the traditional game which mostly involves running, jumping and sliding to avoid various obstacles in the character's path. The sequel has all of that but brings additional gameplay elements inspired from Pixar's next, which is set for a world premiere on June 18.

In Temple Run: Brave, you don the role of Merida, the movie's lead character who is chased by a demon bear called Mordu. You will find yourself navigating through environments that are similar to the Scottish landscape featured in the film. Besides collecting coins, Merida can also show off her archery skills in the game by shooting targets along her way to earn extra points.
