pod2g Considers Switching to Android

When Apple first announced iOS 7 at their World Wide Developers Conference of 2013 everyone was very disappointed with the new icons and some of the features. With all of the disappointment going around, iOS hacker pod2g has announced via twitter that he’s considering switching to an Android device. The news was quite surprising for someone who is one of the most famous iOS hackers of all time. Saying that, pod2g has been responsible for the last few jailbreaks for iOS, without him, it could be possible that we won’t have any of the more recent firmware jailbroken on iOS.

With all that said, it does not mean that pod2g is totally leaving the iOS scene. Him out of most people do acknowledge that it is just a beta after all, but with switching to android, the possibility exists that the iOS 6 jailbreak, evasion, was known as the hacker’s peak when it comes to Apple iOS devices.

Microsoft gets a fine of $733 Million for…

European Union Competition Commissioner Almunia holds a news conference at the EU Commission headquarters in BrusselsThe European Union Commission has fined Microsoft Corp. for $733 million fine.

We all ask ourselves, why would this happen to Microsoft? Well in 2009 Microsoft promised to Windows users the ability to choose another browser instead of having Internet Explorer installed.

But Microsoft failed to stick to the deal for some 15 million installations of Windows 7  in Europe from May 2011 until July 2012. The company admitted that they failed at that last year and that it was a mistake.

The commission’s top regulator, Joaquin Almunia, said at a press conference in Belgium and he said: “They must do what they committed to do, or face the consequences.”

Microsoft responded to this telling them that they will pay the full fine, very soon.

The Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition update is almost here!

20121218-004213.jpg
Every time a new update comes out for any game we always wonder when the next one will be released. As for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition the time has nearly come for 1.0.1 to be released so get ready to brew and enchant your way through the newest Minecraft update on December 19th, 2012!

You can view what has been added/ changed in the game below.

As we’ve mentioned before, the next update is coming soon! It will mainly have the features from the Java version 1.0.1, but without “The End” (that will be coming in the next update, TU8)
There’s a big list below with expanded details of what’s been added but there are some key additions that are worth calling out…
Animal Breeding – feed two of the same animals a particular food and they’ll “kiss” and like magic a little baby animal will appear. Cute!
Brewing – You’ll be able to make Potions! Pull up a Brewing Stand and experiment.
Experience Points – Now you can collect Experience Orbs from mining, killing mobs, breeding and using Furnaces. Experience is used for Enchanting!
Enchanting– A new process which uses your Experience points to grant special abilities to armour, tools and weapons. You’ll need to craft yourself an Enchantment table to get started.
Mushroom Biome – A new type of land where the humble mushroom is king. New block Mycelium can be found here and Mooshrooms! Try growing yourself a giant mushroom.
Nether Fortresses – a structure that can appear in the Nether, bringing new blocks to the game too. Nether Fortresses are the Nether equivalent of Strongholds. Look out for the Blaze which can found in these new structures, they’ve got a habit of shooting out fire.
Skin animations – Some of your skins will have new animations (optional) to give them a bit more life and personality of their own. It’s something new and something that will be expanded upon as we do future updates, even older skins might get given their own animations as time goes on, so keep a look out for them in the future too. You may also notice that skins can have hats, and stuff…

Let us know your opinion about this newest update down in the comments.

Happy Holidays and as always have a great day!
