If you ever played on SEGA's cult-favorite Dreamcast console, there's little chance you'd have been able to dodge the Crazy Taxi, and if you always enjoyed tooling around as B.D. Joe (who subsequently made an appearance in Sonic All-Star Racing), then you'll be ecstatic to learn that it's coming to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch at some point this month!
The Nexus 7 tablet, which was the brainchild of a collaborative effort between Google and ASUS, proved to be a huge hit with consumers thanks largely to its low starting price and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean implementation. Talk has been rife recently regarding a 32GB model - offering a little more storage for folk who find 8 and 16GB configurations as requiring too space management - and to throw a little more weight behind the murmurings, a 32GB Nexus 7 looks to have made an appearance in Japan.
With the official Windows 8 release date looming closer, it looks like Microsoft is making some changes to the way digital media is purchased in the OS, a move that will likely appease a lot of potential customers and make acquiring additional content a lot easier to understand. In the past, Microsoft adopted a Points system as their preferred method of allowing users of their products to purchase additional content through their various stores, meaning that customers have to exchange cash for s bundles of points, which can then be used to grab things like movies and music. That is all set to change with Microsoft phasing the Points system out in Windows 8.
Rovio's latest Bad Piggies title on iOS and Android definitely brought a new challenge for mobile gamers to sink their teeth into, but if you happen to be a huge fan of the company's Angry Birds creation then November 8th may be a date that needs to be added to your diary. Fans of the Angry Birds franchise may have seen a teasing image from Rovio last week that had a number of people wondering if those pesky birds were about to move to the dark side. It seems that they are.
Although the Apple iPad is an extremely advanced and capable tablet as a standalone product out of the box, regular jailbreakers will know and understand the power that can be unleashed when the device is liberated and the right packages are installed onto it from Cydia. The jailbreak development community is well-known for being able to produce packages and enhancements that take an installation of iOS to the next level and bring additional feature-sets to an Apple mobile device that the company either hadn't considered implementing or had just decided shouldn't be offered to consumers for one reason or another.
If big game creators ever join forces to produce some kind of hybrid mashup, then I undoubtedly want to see Sonic the Hedgehog meet Super Mario, Master Chief from Halo running around Liberty City causing mayhem or see either Guile or Chun-Li coming up against the mean Samurai machine that is Tekken's Kunimitsu. Unfortunately, we aren't that lucky to be able to pick and choose certain elements from various games that we would like to play, but Capcom has taken the lead and created the crossover battle to beat them all.
Fans of the popular Instant app on the Mac will no doubt speak very highly of the simple and easy to use software that manages to bring the iconic Polaroid photographs back to life in a modern and technologically advanced way. If you already own that particular app and want a more mobile experience, or just seeking a polished photo editing app then the developers also offer an iPad version of the app that brings with it the same functionality and editing options.
Apps that allow users to quickly and efficiently edit photographs on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have always been popular offerings in the App Store, and as of this week, there is a new pretender to the throne in the form of the Gridditor app from Tai Shimizu. Gridditor lives within the Photography section and allows users to quickly edit and organize photographs in an attractive interface that manages to throw up some excellent filter combinations.
Users who want to complete their gadget collection with a tablet-type device will more than likely opt for the iPad, the fantastic Nexus 7 or choose to purchase one of the Amazon Kindle Fire offerings. The tablet space is packed with a whole range of devices but only a handful are really powerful and capable units, but if Microsoft has anything to do with it then their upcoming Surface tablet will break into that category fairly soon.
If you can't bring yourself to believe that Internet Explorer 9 is one of the best looking, fastest and safest desktop browsing experiences available then worry not as it looks like you aren't alone in your thoughts. Internet Explorer is undoubtedly one of the most - if not the most - widely known browsing software available today, and once upon a time it was pretty much the accepted choice for those wanting to browse the web. The last few year’s browser trends usage statistics have shown us that IE has been losing its once dominant hold over users, with the latest surveys in August of this year showing that 16.2% of browsers do so though Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
