Dead or Alive 5: Last Round for PC Missing Key Features

There are a scant few games that have remained exclusive to consoles. For the longest time, fighting game series Dead or Alive was one of them. That changed with Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. However, in a move that surprised many of the series fans, the game launched in what can be best described as an incomplete state.

There's no support for Steam achievements, Steam cards, or Steam Cloud - which allows you to continue where you left off on other PCs - and no support for controller vibration either.

However, the biggest drawback is that the game is based on the PlayStation 3 version which doesn't look as good as it could on PC.

Considering that the developer, Team Ninja just released DOA 5: Last Round on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with significantly better effects and visuals, the PC version is stuck with last generation tech. It's missing the Soft engine present in current generation consoles that give characters skins a softer look, according to the game's publisher, Koei Tecmo.

In addition to this, the game is missing two stages and online multiplayer as well (which the company claims will be available in three months).

All these issues seem to harken back to the days when game makers treated PC gamers with a token release, focusing on consoles for the most part. Some notable releases in recent memory that were crippled at release include Deadly Premonition, Dark Souls, and Final Fantasy XIII, all of which ended up being fixed by the community rather than having their creators step up to the plate.

AT&T HTC One M7 to snag Android 5.0 Lollipop starting March 31

☻It looks like HTC One M7 owners on AT&T are in for a sweet Lollipop-flavored treat starting tomorrow, March 31.

HTC's Mo Versi announced on Twitter this evening that the company has received technical approval on the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the AT&T One M7, and the OTA should begin rolling out tomorrow.


Though it's a bit late to the party when compared to One M7 Lollipop releases for other carriers, this is sure to be welcome news for those still rocking the device on AT&T. Once on Android 5.0, AT&T HTC One M7 owners will snag the standard Lollipop fare including revamped notifications, a new multitasking UI, and, of course, lots and lots of Material Design.

Xiaomi's Anticipated New Budget 4G Smartphone Tipped to Launch on April 8

According to Chinese blog Mydrivers.com, the unnamed smartphone from Xiaomi will be priced at CNY 499 (approximately Rs. 5,000) instead of the previously rumoured CNY 399 (approximately Rs. 4,000), and is set to launch on April 8.

As for the rumoured specifications of the Xiaomi's CNY 499 smartphone, the most recent report corroborates previous ones to tip it will sport a 4.7-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display; a quad-core 1.6GHz Leadcore LC 1860 CPU; Mali T628 GPU; 1GB of RAM; 13-megapixel and 2-megapixel cameras; 8GB of inbuilt storage, and Android 4.4.4 KiKat with latest MIUI skin on top.

Amazon India Unveils 'Kirana Now' Service With Same Day Delivery.......:) :)

♥Amazon India is launching a platform that leverages neighbourhood or kirana stores with the aim of quickly delivering everyday-need consumer products. Called Kirana Now, the service was launched on Wednesday in Bengaluru.

In an emailed statement, an Amazon India spokesperson said, "We are continually innovating to transform the way India shops and the way India sells. Our vision is to enable our customers in India to buy anything and everything they want online, any-time and anywhere at low prices and a convenient, fast and reliable delivery experience. Equally we are committed to empowering the growth of millions of small and medium businesses in India. Kirana Now is a step towards realising both."

The statement adds, "With this service we want to provide to our customers an instant and convenient access to their ecosystem of stores for their everyday needs right from their mobile phone. And likewise empower the Kirana stores with tools and technology to transform their growth in the digital economy."

The service, which Amazon India is calling a pilot, will be available only via mobile. With Kirana Now, Amazon aims to deliver the goods "within 2-4 hours" using its own logistics, the neighbourhood store's staff, or one of its logistics partners. These stores will be listed just like other sellers on Amazon, which operates as a pure marketplace in India.

In the US, Amazon has been offering a grocery delivery service called Amazon Fresh. The same-day and early-morning delivery service was started in 2007 in Seattle, and only expanded to other cities in 2013. It was available in about 10 US cities by the end of 2014.

In late 2014, Amazon also launched its own private label brand for consumer goods, Amazon Elements, starting with diapers and baby wipes. As industry analysts noted at the time, the move underscored the firm's maturity as a grocery retailer and the increasingly common trend of grocery shopping online.

In India, online grocery delivery services have been making some headway, but only in a small way. Services such as BigBasket, AaramShop, LocalBanya, Grofers, and Ekstop are startups, and the majority of these are operational in a handful of cities, with some companies having a presence in only one location.

However, both Tradus and HomeShop18 also sell food and groceries, and are active across India. Both have very different models; Tradus uses the marketplace model, and HomeShop18 prefers the direct route, in a bit to ensure it can deliver all the products it advertises across the country. Only Tradus is offering same-day delivery on select products.

iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6C to Launch This Year: Report

☻Apple is expected to launch three new iPhone models this year - the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone 6C - claims a report citing industry sources.
While the report suggests that the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus will be the incremental updates from last year's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it adds the iPhone 6C will be the handset that the Cupertino-based giant will launch to tap the emerging markets, which also includes India. All three are due in the second half of 2015.

No reasoning was given as to why the 'S' in the model names will be upper-case. Digitimes suggests that the new iPhone models will pack LTPS panels supplied by various companies including Japan Display, Sharp and LG Display, and will also feature Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The report adds that the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus will use the A9 chips while the iPhone 6C will be backed by A8 chips. Other highlight features such as NFC and fingerprint scanner will be present on all three iPhone expected to launch later this year.

The rumoured 4-inch iPhone has been in news for some time and was claimed to be targeted at "female users". The handset, tentatively called iPhone 6C, is said to replace the iPhone 5c, which was priced in an entry-level to mid-range smartphone segment for Apple, according to sources in Taiwan's handset supply chain. The report stresses that Apple will work on the iPhone 6C's design, pricing and timing of the launch.

One of the sources pointed out, "The adoption of a plastic case for the 5C, which made the iPhone look cheaper than its family products, contributed to lower-than-expected sales of the model." Another sources however added that Apple might still prefer plastic cases for the iPhone 6C as it helps check the production costs.

Further commenting about the pricing of the iPhone 6C, a source added that it should be priced around $400-500 (roughly Rs. 25,000-31,000) in the US. "Shipment performance of iPhone devices in emerging markets, including India, Africa and Latin America, has been flat, as consumers in these markets are more concerned about pricing," notes the report.

Microsoft to kill internet explorer in windows 10..!

microsoft planning to kill internet explorer in up coming windows 10. Planning to bring the windows with new browser

Internet Explorer will still exist in some versions of Windows 10 mainly for enterprise compatibility, but the new Project Spartan will be named separately and will be the primary way for Windows 10 users to access the web. Microsoft has tried, unsuccessfully, to shake off the negative image of Internet Explorer over the past several years with a series of amusing campaigns mocking Internet Explorer 6. The ads didn't improve the situation, and Microsoft's former Internet Explorer chief left the company in December, signalling a new era for the browser.

I've thought about all the things that might be said, negative and positive alike, about this particular iceberg on the sea of computing misfortune. Internet Explorer was, on the one hand, the very worst of Microsoft at its worst: the embodiment of embrace, extend, extinguish, used ruthlessly to destroy an innovative competitor, a major source of standardization murk, and finally left to fester, a vile sore on the arse of web development, for years and years after it had served its purpose.

Blackphone 2 Security-Focused Phone With PrivatOS 1.1 Launched at MWC 2015

Silent Circle, at the ongoing MWC 2015, has launched the second version of its Blackphone handset, the Blackphone 2, with updated specifications. Silent Circle also announced a tablet named Blackphone+, which will be arriving later this year. For now, there is no price or specification details available for the tablet.

The new privacy-oriented Blackphone 2 comes with an updated version of the firm's PrivatOS Android-based OS, which now bears the version number 1.1. The handset features a 5.5-inch full-HD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and is powered by an unspecified 64-bit octa-core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. The handset also includes 4G LTE connectivity and a microSD card slot. A 3060mAh battery is also included inside the handset.

Nokia 1100 With Android 5.0 Lollipop, Quad-Core Processor Spotted

One of Nokia's most popular feature phones, the Nokia 1100, is once again in the news. A handset with that model number was spotted running Google's latest Android build and powered by a quad-core processor under the hood.
Nokia's legendary phone has been spotted at a benchmark listing tipping details of the innards. First spotted by Nokia Power User, the Nokia 1100's Geekbench browser benchmark results show the handset running Android 5.0 Lollipop while including a quad-core MediaTek (MT6582) processor. The listed Nokia 1100 handset is seen featuring 512MB of RAM. Apart from the Android version, processor, and memory, there are no details about other specifications.

With the form factor of the original Nokia 1100, we find it hard to believe the Finnish company might be testing running any version of Android on it, forget Lollipop. It is more likely an in-development smartphone that the company is using the same model number for. Of course, the spotted Nokia 1100 with Android is unlikely to debut before Q4 2016, as the terms of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's Devices and Services business stipulate Nokia can no longer use its brand on smartphones till Q4 2016, and on feature phones for 10 years.

The Nokia 1100 was launched late in 2003 and is one of the company's biggest milestones as it's owned by around 250 million people worldwide, according to the company. Nokia even claimed that the Nokia 1100 was "the world's most popular phone."

Last year, Nokia neatly bypassed the restrictions imposed by the Microsoft deal and launched the Nokia N1 tablet. The company called it the "first Nokia-branded Android tablet" and was initially launched in China in Q1 2015 with a brand-licensing agreement extending to an OEM partner (Foxconn) that would manufacture, distribute, and sell it.
