Report: Nintendo to Revamp 3D and Add Another Analog Stick

3

Despite its promising features, not to mention the hype it got when it was first launched, the Nintendo 3DS is not selling well. The higher-ups are allegedly not too pleased about it, which is why reports begin to circulate that Nintendo may bring out a new hardware revision of the 3DS that downplays its 3D powers.

According to French gaming site 01.net, Nintendo is having a hard time convincing customers that the 3D display is safe to use. The company has already stated that children under 6 should not use the handheld console with the 3D turned on. That statement definitely turned off the very young market.

Speaking of hardware updates, the company is also considering adding a piece of hardware in the Nintendo 3DS that they failed to foresee during its development: A second analog stick. Nintendo engineers, as well as a group of hand-picked developers, are said to be working on creating an inexpensive analog stick add-on that they hope would improve gameplay.

If these reports turn out to be true, expect a barrage of irate early buyers, as well as those who bought the Nintendo 3DS at the discounted price.

Samsung Fights to Lift Galaxy Tab 10.1 Ban in Europe

1

Samsung representatives all over the world have been dealing with Apple’s preliminary injunctions that would prohibit the sales of Galaxy Tab 10.1. The device is supposedly launched in Australia, claiming it is a different model, but backed out the last minute. The American launch, meanwhile, still hangs in the balance.

In Germany, Samsung is determined to fight it out as the company will go to court in Dusseldorf to appeal the court’s decision to ban sales of the GalTab 10.1 across the European Union (except in the Netherlands).

TechCrunch says that if these preliminary import bans become permanent, it would change the tablet wars dramatically. It would not only affect the GalTab (considered as the iPad’s strongest competitor) and potentially other future tablets, but Apple’s reputation as well.

“I whole-heartedly believe that Apple has every right to defend its trade dress,” Jordan Crook writes on TechCrunch. “At the same time, Apple tends to overreach. Once the complaints start moving into the software arean, things get really blurry… (with Apple ending up) looking entitled and desperate to preemptively squash competition.”

But at the end of the day, Crook adds, it is the consumers who will hurt the most.

Grooveshark Appears on Boxee

1

Among various cloud-based music streaming services, Grooveshark is one of the most underrated. But now, the browser-based Grooveshark now appears on Boxee and it looks pretty different.

This is compared to the $6 monthly fee online, but users there can opt for a free, ad-riddled version.

The Boxee version of Grooveshark does not feature the iTunes-style interface, making way for a orangey version of Rdio. It also has tabs that choose between user-selected music, playlists, and popular music. Boxee users can still create and sort playlists with ease.

Google+ Unveils Games to Limited Users

0

As expected, Google+ is taking another step in its quest to become the dominant and most relevant social networking site as it introduced Google+ Games to a limited number of users.

We all know that gaming is an important factor in Facebook’s popularity. It even has become a springboard of a game apps provider (Zynga) to become a major player in the social gaming industry. And as Zynga is about to take off as a public company, guess where it plans to provide games? You are right, on Google+, considering that Google has made an investment in Zynga.

But before you get excited about playing FamVille and CityVille on Google+, note that those two games will unlikely appear over there due to some form of exclusivity. At least G+ will have Zynga Poker, even new titles as well. Other games will also join in Google+ Games such as Angry Birds and Bejeweled Blitz.

To check if your G+ account has games in it, look for the Games button at the top of your stream, right beside the Circles button. It features the latest game updates from your circles, browse invites you have received, and look for games that people you know have played. It is also in the Games page where your game accomplishments appear, so you can post your high score and share it only to people who play games as well. These invites and accomplishments will not appear in the Stream, which has been a source of annoyance in Facebook.

Windows Phone Tango to Target Low-Cost Phones?

0

While the tech community remains crazy over Windows Phone Mango, an update of which was released to manufacturers for testing two weeks ago, they now begin to speculate what is the next step of this mobile OS.

Rumors about the so-called “Windows Phone Tango,” which serves as an in-betweener for Mango and “Apollo” (Windows Phone 8), have been circulating lately. According to Mary-Jo Foley of ZDNet, her sources claim the Tango would most likely appear in lower-priced handsets–mostly by Nokia–and apparently target the Asian market “largely or even exclusively.”

Foley, meanwhile, believes that Tango will most likely be a minor release, as Microsoft saves its effort and energy for Windows Phone 8, which is said will be available by late 2012.

Facebook Messenger App Launched, Puts SMS to Shame

0


Without any fanfare, Facebook has released a mobile application separate from its main app. The Facebook Messenger, which works for both iOS and Android, merges the Beluga group messaging project that FB acquired last February with its newly-designed Messages product. It is like Facebook, but solely focuses on messaging your contacts.

But why a separate, stand-alone messaging app? Apparently, Facebook Messenger promises to be speedier and simpler compared to the Messages product found in current Facebook apps.

While the app uses your Facebook connections to find people. If the person you are trying to reach does not use Facebook, or if you are not connected, you can use a phone number to estabish a connection. The app also handles group messaging and will soon include video chat capabilities. If a friend sends you a message on Facebook, Messenger receives it and shows up to your phone and also appears in your Facebook account on the web.

Facebook Messenger directly competes with the likes of GroupMe, Kik, and the just launched iMessage. The app also hits a thorn against SMS technology.

the ears ago, you would possibly be hard pressed to see a 16 year older that couldn't wait so you can get his driver licenses. No fear, no worries about driving along with, unfortunately, often of low quality judgment.

That's now not the case. Here's an email I received from one of our learners in Tyler, Colorado front range:

"If you told me last year that exactly one month before I acquired my driver's licence, I would feel both well prepared and reasonably fearless, I'd have laughed in your face. Two years earlier I experienced one of the traumatic events of my well being, a car injury. Ever since i then have entertained the specific terror of cycling in vehicles. Bearing in mind this, I still find it remarkable that We can calmly enjoy my 16th birthday and also day I pick up my license.

The main reason for my assurance will be the labor-intensive parent coached drivers education software, with which my own mother instructed me. The program requires more than 50 hours about in-vehicle training, including not less than 10 hours for nighttime driving. Soon after completing this needs, I feel extremely adapted to driving in various situations and temperature. My extensive inside vehicle training have not only allayed the great timidity, but it surely has also set me for driving on my own once I find my license. "

WHEN I appreciate the vibrant lady's comments. Wouldn't it surprise you to discover that the over comments are typical of the people that I receive day after day.

Young folks today are additional hesitant to start driving on account of some collision they may have either experienced his or her self, or because they know an gent who has been involved in the serious collision.

This is the reason mastery of the relevant skills in one space before moving about the next area can be so important in owners ed. In Colorado front range, the 50 hours is simply a minimum obligation. In fact, it is just the beginning point. What we discovered is that many of our clients do somewhere in 100 to 150 periods of supervised practice over the 9 to 18 month period.

The more folks that learn to turned into collision-free drivers, the safer typically the roads are for all of us. What you carry out counts - it truly is important.

Most adults (parents) don't consider there's anything wrong using their driving - it's always the other one guy. In certainty, one survey disclosed that 90% of most drivers consider themselves that should be better than ordinary. Of course, that could be statistically impossible, though that's the awareness.

When a father or mother, like you, uses a parent taught drivers ed to steer your son/daughter with the process of becoming a collision-free driver, that parent are unable to help but improve their own personal driving. Isn't that what we experienced? That experience helps us reduce the amount of collisions and conserves lives.

Are Electric Bicycles Zero Emission Vehicles?

0


These are the era of environmentalists. Not only are there numerous civil society organizations to uphold the issues relating to environmental protection but also the administration and judiciaries are taking up these issues pretty seriously. Regulations to protect environment have been put in place and laws have been put in place in almost all of the states for prevention of pollution by the vehicles plying on the road.

How Vehicles Create Pollution

Traditional motor vehicles run on gasoline and many of them make harmful emissions that result from burning of fossil fuels. In general they emit carbon monoxide and other harmful elements that pollute the environment around.

Electric Bicycles Do Not Pollute

Some of the environmental benefits of using electric bicycles are -
They are one of pollution free alternatives for traditional gasoline driven vehicles that create pollution;
They have been widely accepted as one of the most viable alternatives for preventing mobile pollution; and
Every time the rider takes a trip on the electric bicycle instead of car or other motor driven vehicle, he or she deletes a cold start that would have substantially added to pollution levels.

Laws Regulating the Use of Mopeds

According to the law of the land vehicles that ply on the road whether driven by gasoline or electric are required to be registered with the authorities but motorized bicycles or mopeds have been exempted in many states from registration. However, most of the state laws also require that they display a special plate that is issued by the authorities.

Electric Bicycles and Use of Helmets

Many people have the wrong notion that helmets are only meant for motorized vehicles. In fact; under the laws of many states, even the cyclists riding bicycles are required to wear helmets. Therefore, it would be good for the user of the electric bicycle to have a close look at the local regulations to know exactly about the use of helmet for their vehicle.

Road Registration

Like the wearing of helmets, it may be necessary having road registration for the electric bicycles under the local laws though there are no uniformity in the uses and practices followed by different states in this regard. Electric bicycles that has the top speed of 13 miles per hour and that reduces the power output of the motor while reaching the top speed are classified as bicycles and the only requirements for them would be that -
The rider is 14 years or above in age; and
The motor cuts off when it reaches the speed of 14 miles per hour.

No pollution based restrictions on electric bicycles mean that they are considered to be zero emission vehicles.
