Guitar Hero Axed!

The very popular multi-platform game Guitar Hero has been axed by it's publishers Activision Blizzard. The makers of the very big Franchises like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft announced that they are ditching the Guitar hero franchise because "The music-themed video games have faded out".

During this announcement they said they were also cutting around 500 people from the workforce. Activision Blizzard said that it's way to expensive to make new music games as the licensing of all the music and the cost to make a produce all the hardware (Guitars, Microphones, etc.) Although they will continue to support all other previous games of Guitar Hero.

The focus of this cut was to to put more work towards the Call of Duty franchise. This gives them a lot more money to create better than before Call of Duty games.

HP WebOS Event.

HP is in the middle of a WebOS conference in San Francisco finally releasing all the information about their latest additions to the Palm family.



There is a live chat going on right now that the guys over at CNET are hosting. They are updating with all the latest images of the new products and also taking pictures of the conference with the specifications of each device.

Pre3


That's right, yet another Pre phone. With the Pre2 only released late 2010, i can be very sure that a lot of people who bought the Pre2 won't be happy about this.

The image below thanks to CNET shows all the important specifications of the new soon to be released Pre3.



HP Veer


The HP Veer is a new smartphone very similar to the Previous Pre phones. It had the same style slide up QWERTY keyboard and it is said to be the best they have made yet. It's sporting a 2.6 inch screen, the gesture area from all the previous Palm phones and supports Adobe Flash natively.

A quote from a CNET employee Tom Krazit states all the specs of this new phone.

Tom Krazit: 

It also has a 5MP camera, and a USB port. It supports HSPA+, Wi-Fi, 8GB of storage, and the same memory as the Pre 2. It's got the Snapdragon chip running at (I think) 850MHz. It can also be a hotspot for up to five other devices.

The HP Veer has been said to be released in the early spring of 2011.

HP TouchPad

The extremely anticipated WebOS tablet has finally been released! The new WebOS tablet from HP charmingly named "TouchPad" is in my honest opinions one of the best tablets i have seen.

 

The HP TouchPad seen here is such a magnificent tablet as it's running the latest version of WebOS and supports many features that are stated in the next image.



The new tablet provides with so much hardware inside such a sleek design that it comes up in my mind as a possible iPad killer. They just need to break through the silly iPad fanboys (Just sayin') The new tablet from HP also has lots of features that have been added to make them native to the tablet.



The tablet also has full Adobe Flash support which kind of shoots it above the iPad already! Also with the new updates to the WebOS Store for buying applications, it will bring a lot more apps and games.

ENTER THE NINJA!

This is a video of a 'Backyard Ninja' showing off his swishy sword skills. Although he just looks like a kid playing with a sword, it looks pretty sharp as it cuts plastic bottles clean in half. That's right PLASTIC! the hardest material known to man! *sarcasm*. Some people just get bored of Fruit Ninja pretty fast :/

Either way it's still a pretty cool video. Check it out! :)

Confess your sins....With the latest App!

That's right! the Catholic Church has approved an iPhone app that lets users confess there sins and be forgiven right from their phone!

On the AppStore for only £1.19/$1.99.

Described as "the perfect aid for every penitent", it offers users tips and guidelines to help them with the sacrament.

The app takes users through the sacrament - in which Catholics admit their wrongdoings - and allows them to keep track of their sins.

It also allows them to examine their conscience based on personalised factors such as age, sex and marital status - but it is not intended to replace traditional confession entirely.

Instead, it encourages users to understand their actions and then visit their priest for absolution.

Shotgun Revolver?

Source: (Hack a Day)


Sometimes one shell just isn't enough...So how about 6! This amazing shotgun mod was created using:

"The chamber of a 12 gauge shotgun, a hammer from an 1857 Remington Perc Revolver and other parts from a shotgun"

Some rumours state that it's not even legal in some states of America! Wouldn't surprise me hahaa!

HTC Desire 2 Leaked!

Over at Android Forums and Engadget, they have managed to find a leaked picture of the new and expected Desire 2.


Source: (http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/htc-saga.jpg)
The HTC Desire 2. Codename: HTC Saga.

Although HTC has not confirmed any specifications as of yet, we can clearly point out a few from the image. As we can see a front-facing camera and some touch sensitive controls.

"Internally rumors do suggest that the Desire 2 will be running Android 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) and it will feature the HTC Sense 2.0 UI. Additionally it will have a 3.8″ 4-point multi-touch Super AMOLED display, a dual core processor and 1GB of RAM."

1GB of Ram?! The new Desire is clearly going to be fast! As internal rumours suggest the 'Super AMOLED display' Does this mean HTC and Samsung have come to some agreement? And if that's so it could also be running with the new Hummingbird 1Ghz processor.

The EXCITEMENT!

No front facing camera? No fear! OneMoreFace is Here!

Went a little bit cheesy with the title but hey this small doohicky is quite fascinating.



This is a little Metal clamp with a mirror attached to it. You can use it on your Nexus One for example. Although it has been said that the initial intention was to provide Non-iPhone 4 users with the ability to turn their back camera into a front facing one. I have seen a few Vloggers attaching this baby to their iPhone 4.

That's right a 5MP front facing camera!
