Say Good Bye to Flappy Bird

I have mixed feelings about this. I recently downloaded Flappy Bird and made a high score of 21. Now the developer of Flappy Bird Dong Nguyen says “that he cannot take this anymore”. I guess the hype of the game got to him.  He will be removing the game in 20 hours, at noon est.

Flappy Bird has been a very successful game in both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. Earlier this week it was announced that the developer was making over $50,000 per day just from Ads. That’s a lot considering the simplicity of the game.

Due to the popularity and the spot light shed on Nguyen, he no longer likes the game, in fact he hates it. He goes on about his reasons why he is removing the game on his twitter which can be viewed here. https://twitter.com/dongatory

Logitech launches ‘PowerShell’ iPhone game controller

The number one thing I hate about playing games on my iPhone is those darn controls. My fingers are literally all over the place and its just a huge mess. Thanks to iOS 7 and Logitech, my days of messy game play are over.

The controller is compatible with iPhone 5s, 5, and 5th gen iPod touch devices running iOS 7.  The PowerShell controller will be landing today on the Apple Online Store and BestBuy’s website. The price is $99.

So I’m sure everyone has seen this bad boy but I thought I would post it on my blog with the specs and all.

After sending out cryptic invitations predictions flooded from media and consumers alike- most thought maybe Windows Phone 8, while other rumors included a potential Xbox Surface, but nope the Microsoft Surface Tablet was unveiled.

This awesome new machinery comes with a sturdy, integrated kickstand and a SmartCover-esque cover, that features a fully functioning keyboard, with a trackpad. It connects with a “single magnetic click”. Tight right?

“I can touch type on this as fast as I can type on any keyboard.” said Microsoft’s Michael Angiulo. The Touch Cover comes in five colors – black, red, blue, and pink.

The surface also comes with two cameras called “LifeCams” The rear-facing camera is angled so when positioned on a kickstand, it can still record meetings or any other event thats going on.

To top everything off, being that this is a full-on PC it can run true PC games.

Microsoft has stated the tablet-PC hybrids will be priced competitively, but no mention of price or release date was mentioned. So I guess will just be waiting to see what they got to unveil about it next!
