Thanksgiving is over so now it’s time to worry about Christmas. Black Friday was a great day to get gifts at stores and it was a hit. Now it’s time for an online black Friday known as Cyber Monday. This is a great day to get deals on almost anything you can think of. Lots of discounts,free shipping and handling,bogo and more. Some people like to do it in stores and others online. So take this day to order items you can’t get near by. We could spend time giving sales details but there are just so many out there. Main items people focus on are new TVs, game systems, phones, and many other cool electronics but you can buy anything from electronics to clothes and toys. Have a happy Cyber Monday.download (1)

Almost everywhere you go there is WiFi. Most people don’t really think about it but it is very interesting. For instance restaurants,stores,some cars,busses and your home. Some places advertise free WiFi to get more people to come in their businesses. Now do people even need to do that much more because if you think about almost everywhere has it and if not chances are your on 4G LTE or a mobile network.We are seeing more and more WiFi everyday even ideas of WiFi on the streets have come up which makes me think maybe someday we will have WiFi free and everywhere.

there is rumored to be 2 iPhone 6. One being 4.7 inches and the other being 5.5 inches. Both where most likely coming in September because that is usually when a new iPhone is announced. Credible sources say that maybe only the 4.7 inch phone will be announced. They say the 5.5 inch iPhone 6 is not ready due to problems with the in-cell touch panel and the sapphire display not being sturdy enough. Now this is all rumors but very possibly true. For more iPhone 6 rumors scroll down. We will keep you update on all the iPhone 6 news and rumors as they come in.

 

The Chromecast is a device that plugs in the HDMI port on the back of your TV and allows you to stream whats on your tablet,Phone or PC directly to you TV. I love the Chromecast and it’s only 35$. Anyway Wednesday was Google I/O (a yearly conference like WWDC but Google not Apple) They announced multiple things you can read about it in the post below. The Chromecast news sparked my attention though. You can now stream stuff without a WiFi password how you ask? Well its actually quite complicated and cool it seems like Magic. It works with ultrasonic soundwaves people can’t hear them. Once you set up your Chromecast to connect to nearby devices the Chromecast will push a ultrasonic sound through your TV speakers. The soundwave is all your device needs to know to pair you up. You can’t hear this but your device can. Google has actually been working on this for quite some time. 

Introduced at WWDC this year, Apple has introduced a pair of Headphones, that plugs into the (newer?) Charging/USB ports on the all the iPhone 5’s and the iPod 5. This introduces the Richer Controls(Including iTunes Radio), App-Enabled Head Phones, and New connector Modules. Honestly, I do not have a lot to say on the subject myself, I have never used the new lightning ports (I know what a noob). But the Main thing I see with these headphones is it is now truly DIGITAL sound you are hearing! If you do not know this already, the very common 3.5 mm headphone/mic jacks we are used to are Analog, basically meaning the sound you are hearing is crappier than if you were listening to a Digital sound which means it is numbers. (Binary)  instead of a irrational electric signal you are listening to.

 

Far cry 4 has been announced for 2014. Far Cry is a franchise with 4 entries. Now many people don’t even play the game or intend to but it is not bad Far Cry 1,2 and 3 were successful. I think Far Cry 4 could be a good selling game for Xbox one especially because PS4 is clearly winning the console War. We recently had a poll on which you think is better but according to stats the PS4 has sold more. Far Cry will be released on Xbox one,Xbox 360,PS3,PS4 and PC. If you pre order you will receive a limited edition of the game that has Hurk’s redemption a single player mission pack and you will receive Hurk’s main weapon  The Impaler. Now eventually the limited edition will be for sale on either DLC or a separate disc to get more profit. Now lets get into the game “In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape.”  More info will be said at E3 coming on June 9th. This is all we know right now but we will be giving full results for every big event that happens at E3 (electronic entertainment expo). undefined
