iOS 6 New Beta Is Out, Brings Along Some New Features

Apple has just seeded a new beta version of its iOS platform to developers. The new release brings the usual batch of bug-fixes and performance tweaks, but also several cool new features.
We told you about the first of those earlier today - the preinstalled YouTube app is gone, to be possibly replaced by a separate app, which will be available from the AppStore later on. We now also learn that one of the most heavily advertised features of the iOS 6 has been improved as well.
We are talking the 3D Maps app, which has now gained support for several new regions. Those include Boston, Atlanta, Portland, Phoenix, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Houston and Dallas (US), as well as Toronto (Canada), Lyon (France) and Birmingham and Manchester (England).

Developers also unearthed a new Bluetooth Sharing sub-menu in the privacy settings of the iOS 6 beta 4. It allows apps to share data with other devices even when you're not using the apps and speculations are that it might be used for the Passbook app, which is Apple's response to the Google Wallet. The new entry might also suggest file sharing over Bluetooth, but knowing Apple's stance on the matter so far, it sounds unlikely.

Real Racing 3 hits iPad, iPhone and Android

EA’s formerly made combination of their two game studios — “IronMonkey” and “FireMonkey” called as the FireMonkeys has just released a trailer for the latest installment in the Real Racing series called the Real Racing 3. The game is available for the iDevices like the iPad, iPhone and Android and with the peculiarity of the trailer, it was not much of a coincidence that it caught our attention.

As by now, there are very few details known about the Real Racing 3 other than the super smoothing trailer of the game, which EA games has just released like the former Real Racing 2. Like the former, Real Racing 3 has a wide variety of licensed cars along with a wide variety of tracks. The vehicles are obviously from the most famous Audi and Porsche along with many other brands.

From withing the game modes, we can expect a similar or somewhat enhanced gameplay along with newly optimized graphics for the high resolution devices. The previous game in this series allowed the user to enable up to 16 cars in a grid but with the 2012 arrival of the game, we can expect developments in this field also.

The amazing thing about the game is its trailer (as if we have anything else) which depicts amazing graphics along with big and clear graphics. By this we can easily assume that the game will be as much as demanding it looks like and moreover will force to go for a dual-core phone instead of a…you know. As clearly stated in the trailer, the footage is from the Alpha build of the game but still looks amazing as the game will be available for our mobile devices and not any console or any dedicated gaming device. If the games like this regularly come out for iOS and Android, we are sure that the mobile consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and PSVita will struggle to make their space anywhere.

Real Racing 3 is scheduled for release in the 4th quarter this year and should hit all the major app markets before the arrival of Christmas

Windows 8 Heads To Computer Manufacturers

San Francisco: Microsoft has announced that it has completed the product development and testing of Windows 8 and is releasing its next generation of operating system to computer makers.
"The Windows 8 team is proud to share with you that a short while ago we started releasing Windows 8 to PC OEM and manufacturing partners," said Microsoft's Windows engineering team on their blog.
"This means our next milestone will be the availability of exciting new models of PCs loaded with Windows 8 and on-line availability of Windows 8 on October 26, 2012."

The step, which is called "release to manufacturing" in the technology circle, means computer manufacturers now get the final version of Windows 8 and can start to install the system onto computers, reported Xinhua.

On Oct 26, Windows 8 will be available via retail and preloaded on new PCs and tablets. Consumers whose computers are running previous versions of Windows will be able to get the software by upgrading for $39.99.

Microsoft also has an upgrade offer for customers who buy a qualified PC running its current Windows 7 system between June 2, 2012 and Jan 31, 2013 to get the Windows 8 upgrade for just $14.99.

On the same day of the official release of Windows 8, Microsoft will also start to sell its tablet computer Surface, one of the company's most-anticipated products in years.

How To Access Wi-Fi Scanner Tool In OS X And Tweak Your Wireless Performance

Although companies like Apple and Microsoft are continuously tweaking existing versions of their operating systems and building next-generation software to power PCs and Macs, it would all be pretty much useless without a connection to the internet. You would actually be extremely surprised at how much of your day-to-day computing activity actually relies on being connected to the world wide web, meaning there is nothing more infuriating than a poor or dropped wireless connection.

As part of OS X, Apple has included an extremely easy route to get a Mac machine up and running on any Wi-Fi network. The simple Wi-Fi indicator bars located in the Finder bar at the top of the display act as a simple wizard-type interface that displays all visible networks and allows a security key to be easily entered to request permission to connect. Additional options can be configured from within the same interface such as turning Wi-Fi on or off, as well as creating a network using custom settings.

Depending on what network you are connected to and how far away you are from the source can greatly influence the level of wireless signals received on your Mac, but the indicators only really display the received signal through a four bar visual indicator. Thankfully, for those who are running OS X 10.7 (Lion) or Apple’s latest OS, which is OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), a hidden utility is available that can display additional information about the connected network. There are a few ways that users can gain access to this diagnostic tool, but the quickest is to simply hold the Option button down and click on the Wi-Fi indicator icon in the Finder bar before selecting Open Wi-Fi Diagnostics from the bottom of the resulting menu.

When the tool is invoked, the on-screen interface provides various different options. To get quick access to the network performance visuals, Mountain Lion users can simply press Command+N to quickly open up the performance page. The tools provide relatively simple, visual information that can help you determine whether or not things might need to be changed on your router to get a better signal.

One Third Of Mobile Gamers Play In Class, More Play To Flirt Than Connect With Friends

Those playing games on mobile devices are invariably referred to as "casual gamers", despite the quality of gameplay and graphics knocking on the door of the hardcore titles we know and love from the consoles. If research gathered by mobile game developer MocoSpace is anything to go by, casual is certainly an apt description of today’s mobile gamers, with a third playing titles while they ought to be working hard in class!


We’ve all been there – a mammoth pile of work sits there staring at us, or a teacher begins reading the unabridged version of the Magna Carta, and our hands almost spontaneously edge towards our pockets. With smartphone games often costing less than a dollar, most of our smartphones’ home screens are littered with icons of the likes of Bejeweled, Cut The Rope, and Angry Birds, so whether we’re up for a tricky puzzler or something a little more mellow, it’s only a couple of scrolls away.

Having polled 10,000 players for its self-explanatory "Y U Play?" research, MocoSpace found 31% of those whom responded admitted to playing games in the middle of class. Meanwhile, the reasons behind picking up a smartphone to begin gaming were mixed, and while a third noted they played out of sheer boredom, the same number said they gamed for kicks and enjoyment.


10% played to satisfy the urge to compete, while 9% were merely looking to meet new people. 6% were trying something new, while around 3% were gaming in order to flirt with others. Surprisingly, only 3% said they played mobile games because they were always on-the-fly, while the same proportion played to stay connected with friends (2%) and family (1%).
