“In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money.†– Michael Jordan. In the next 6 to 7 months, I’ll have to see if I have the determination and perseverance to see through the many projects that I have set for myself. It is easy to come up with ideas, plans and concepts but to actually go through them and see them till completion or maturity is no easy task. Continue reading
FIFA 14 marks yet another transitioning phase of EA Sports’ FIFA franchise. There are the “next-gen†and “current-gen†branches of the game. This happened for quite some time for the PC version (08 to 10). It basically housed an aged engine that was absolutely abysmal when compared to the “next-gen†console version then. This time around with the Playstation 4 and Xbox One coming year end, EA Sports have yet again branched out the engines in a way that the PS4 and XBone have the newer engine. With that said, current-gen FIFA 14 is still an improvement over FIFA 13. Read on for some of my thoughts of the game.
For some things two is better than one. For counting down two is never better than one. In fact, zero is the best. It has come down to the magical number two. Another two more pay days. Another two more months. Two more and I’ll be free!

With the introduction of any new product comes the making of a new parody. The internet has always been doing this to almost everything. Apple’s iPhone is no stranger to such videos and infact is quite the popular topic for aspiring comedians, writers and videographers. The iPhone 5S and 5C have been introduced to us for almost a week already and the number of parodies made is absolutely astonishing. Here is a list of some of the more popular and funnier ones.
Modularity has its advantages and benefits. Put in what you want and take out what you don’t need. Work on specific components and parts instead of the system as a whole. A PC benefits from “modularity” in the sense that you can simply upgrade certain components say the graphics card and keep the whole system intact without doing a wholesale overhaul. This time around Dave Hakkens is bringing this system into phones. Called Phonebloks, Dave is promoting the concept of modular design to phones, allowing people to simply change parts instead of the whole phone. He explains it in a video right after the jump.
I’ve recently bought a Chinese Android phone with two things in mind. I needed an upgrade from my Galaxy S1 and I wanted to try out a Made in China Android phone. I did mention a review coming up and yes it is indeed coming up and will be finished once I’ve decided that I’ve used enough of the phone to come up with a review and conclusion. While I am jotting down my thoughts as I used the phone extensively, I fiddled around with the idea of coming out with a dedicated site to these Chinese mobile devices.
I’ve been eyeing those Made in China Android phones for quite some time already. In the past, most of these Chinese phones are termed as “scam†and pure rubbish “imitationsâ€. Indeed, they were horrible mainly because of the disgusting software that powers the phone. Hardware and software comes hand in hand. And for the phone to clap, it requires both hands. With the introduction of the Android OS, Chinese phones have become much better. It has gotten to the point where it can even compete with the more legit premium brands like Samsung, HTC etc.
