Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.

Google announces Android 4.1 Jelly Bean- Video

Watch as Google announces Android 4.1 Jelly Bean- Video.



The next major version of Android is here. Carrying the name Jelly Bean, Android 4.1 puts plenty of new features and performance updates to the table.



Firstly, Jelly Bean focuses on performance. More specifically, improving UI responsiveness. Google has dedicated a whole project codenamed Butter to improving Android performance.

By making the vsync of the screen at a constant 60 frames per second, it makes the UI smooth as, you've guessed it, butter. It even goes as far as to anticipating where your finger is and start drawing from that point to make the UI appear even smoother.



Google showed two Galaxy Nexus smartphones, one running Ice Cream Sandwich and the other Jelly Bean and showed the huge difference that project butter makes. It's really quite impressive.

The keyboard typing is also improved, making it more predictive and adding more brains to the dictionary.

On top of that, it's made the Voice Typing available offline. On the demo it worked pretty well by fixing a misheard word (from Known to Though. Accessibility has also been improved adding new gestures and external support for Brail input.



Taking photos got more intuitive as well. Now, in Jelly Bean there's a new and you can swipe sideways to access the gallery (yes, like on the WP smartphones). You can then quickly delete images by swiping them off the screen.



The notification bar has also seen its fair share of changes. It shows you a more prominent looking clock, as well as a lot of more powerful notifications from various apps like Music, Pulse and Gmail.

Making a Google search has gotten a lot more powerful. Natural language commands are now supported as Google is obviously ready to mount a serious challenge to Siri like.



When you initiate a search you get a minimalist design card. What's really cool is when you swipe to the left it shows you a list of Google Search results.



Google Now is another new part of Google Search, which can show you public transport listings, flight information as well as sports results.



Jelly Bean will be available mid-July with a developer SDK preview available right now on the Android Developers website.

Type Zerg Rush in Google Search- Video

admin 01:36 Add Comment
If you type “Zerg Rush” into Google, the “O’s” in Google take over the page. If you double click, your cursor turns into a plus sign. Click on the O’s and you wipe them out. Google then tabulates your score and, in a social media twist, lets you post your score on Google+.



Zerg Rush is an online gaming term used to describe an overwhelming scale of attack carried out by one player against another in real time strategy (RTS) games. The term originates from the popular RTS game Starcraft, in which the “Zerg” race is notoriously known for its ability to mass-produce offensive units within a short time frame, thus allowing the player to overpower the opponent by sheer number.

Synopsis:

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlandsof Scotland.

Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Wide Awake Lyrics


I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9 (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I'm wide awake
I am trying to hold on
I'm wide awake
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
I'm wide awake
But I'm not blind anymore...

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9 (it was out of the blue)
I'm crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting you go)
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

In comparison, the 15-inch Pro sports a 1440×900 display which, um, is only half the new Pro. In only a 4.46 pound package, Apple has achieved an insane level of engineering that shows exactly why Apple products are so coveted, and why droves of consumers are willing to shell out $2,199 and up for a laptop.

Apple New iPhone and iPad Software

admin 21:28 Add Comment
Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to reveal the new iPhone operating system — iOS 6, updated Mac computers and and their Retina displays on the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today, June 11.



The announcement of new software for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch is expected after several banners appeared at the Moscone conference center in San Francisco on Friday, reading ‘‘iOS 6.’’



What’s not known is what new features will come with iOS 6, or when it will be released to consumers. Usually, the new software becomes available for downloadaround the time a new iPhone model appears. Apple-watchers expect the next version of the iPhone, the iPhone 5, to appear this fall, about a year after the launch of the 4S model.


In 2010, Apple demonstrated the new iPhone 4 at the WWDC, but analysts don’t expect the company to show off a phone model this year.



With the launch of iOS 5 last year, Apple added many features already found in competing smartphone software. It also added the ‘‘Siri’’ virtual assistant feature, which interprets voice commands and talks back to the user.



This year, there are fewer ‘‘catch up’’ features to add, so Apple watchers expect more modest improvements. Some speculate that Facebook could become more tightly integrated, in much the same way that Apple baked Twitter functions into its software last year. That could make it easier to post Facebook status updates from within Apple’s apps.



On the Mac software side, there are fewer unknowns. Apple already demonstrated most of the features of OS X 10.8 ‘‘Mountain Lion’’ in February and said it will go on sale late this summer. Developers are already able to download a version of the software. It narrows the gap between the PC and phone software packages, making Mac personal computers work more like iPhones.



Microsoft Corp., Apple’s chief competitor in PC software, is on a parallel course. It’s set to release Windows 8 later this year, bringing the look and user interface of Windows Phone to PCs.



Cook is also expected to announce new Mac models. Intel Corp. has just updated its processor line with faster, less power-hungry chips, and most of Apple’s Mac lines haven’t had a major update in a year.



The biggest mystery surrounds Apple’s ambitions in television-making. Late company founder Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson that he wanted to remake the TV. Apple does sell an ‘‘Apple TV,’’ but it’s small box that connects to a TV to display movies from iTunes. There’s much speculation that Apple plans to make a full-blown TV set, integrated with iTunes.



Few company watchers expect Apple to reveal such a set at WWDC, but there’s broad speculation that it could make a minor step toward Jobs’ goal by releasing updated software for the Apple TV, expanding on its relatively limited functions.

Apple iOS6 and Updated Siri

admin 21:25 Add Comment
Apple CEO Tim Cook unwraps its own mobile mapping service and improved Siri voice assistant during the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today, June 11.



Cook unveiled Apple's new new services such as in-house mapping, beefed-up Siri software, address-bar search on its Safari browser - to help keep at bay Google and its fast-growing Android mobile platform.



Apple tweaked several features in its mobile operating system to try to enhance its ability to entice users to stay within its ecosystem. The upgrades marked a bolstering of Apple’s arsenal as it tries to keep its top-down applications and hardware environment ahead of competition from Android device makers such as Samsung Electronics and Motorola Mobility.



But the highlight was the debut of Apple’s in-house mapping service after years of development, a direct challenge to the same Google service that is one of the most popular functions on both Android smartphones and the iPhone.


Apple’s new mobile software — the iOS6 — will be available in the fall. It comes with a mapping system “built from the ground up,” said software chief Scott Forstall.



It will be replacing Google Maps, until now a pre-loaded app on the iPhone and iPad, with its own in-house map service, delivering a big blow to Google, which gets about half its mobile map traffic from Apple mobile devices.



The move signals how the friendship between the two tech giants — former Google CEO Eric Schmidt once sat on Apple’s board — has become a bitter rivalry shaping the evolution of the mobile industry. Late co-founder Jobs was famously quoted as saying he was willing to go “thermonuclear” on the search leader, after it decided to position Android against the iPhone.



Now Apple will do its utmost to reduce its reliance on Google, said Colin Gillis, analyst with BGC Partners.



“What happens if one day Google decides to not provide Apple with maps,” said Gillis. “You can’t have that kind of dependency on a competitor.”



Apple’s map service comes with three-dimensional images of cities called “Flyover” along with real-time traffic updates and also turn-by-turn navigation, the last a feature that Google has in Android devices but had not made available in Apple devices.



And Siri, the innovative voice-activated iPhone search-feature users have criticized as faulty and inadequate, will now also be available on iPads and recites a larger database of answers, especially sports, restaurants and movies.



Siri is also integrated into the new mapping service so users can ask for step-by-step directions.



While Apple is late to the game with turn-by-turn directions, Forrester analyst Charles Golvin said that Apple’s new service featured various nice touches, demonstrating Apple’s ability to take an experience offered by rivals and “go even further.”



He also cited a new app for iPhone and iPads called Passbook that organizes a user’s electronic airline tickets, movie tickets and restaurant loyalty cards. The app is a “harbinger of them doing much, much more,” said Golvin, pointing to the electronic payment and mobile commerce market.



Finally, executives said Apple has integrated No. 1 social network Facebook deeper into the operating system, allowing Siri-users to post photos with voice commands.



Shares in Apple ended Monday down 1.6 percent at $571.17 after climbing in early trade, repeating a typical pattern where investors buy up the stock in anticipation of news, then cash out.
