So, I've been thinking lately, "What can i do to fill in my extra time?" And then an idea just popped right into my head, maybe I could do timely news reports. sounds fun on my part. Yes? Of course. So, I'll start now. Blackberry's new Priv phone. So, I'm sure if you read the news at all, you have heard of this phone. blackberry's new Priv phone is a phone that runs android 5.1.1. The phone seems pretty average in the android phone tree, but one of the most identifiable features is that it has a physical keyboard, something that has been lately seeming to become something of the past. But, there's always something that makes a phone less desirable, and with this phone, it's the fact that the keyboard is portrait mounted, and is one of the smallest that BlackBerry has made so far. (Hey, maybe it will coax other companies to make other phones with physical keyboards) Besides the keyboard, it sports an 18 Megapixel camera, and a curved 5.4 inch screen, though for a whopping price of 699 USD, wow! That's more than most android phones today, but hey, maybe it's worth it, maybe it isn't. Fallout 4 It's the talk of the week, if you haven't heard, Bethesda released it's new open world sequel of the Fallout franchise, Fallout 4. The reviews of this game have so far seemed promising for consoles that is. The PC port, not so much. You start the game out as a citizen in 1950's boston, with a robot butler, a kid, and wife or Husband (Based off of players character gender choice). All seems fine until you get a disturbing television broadcast. You then are quickly rushed underground into vault 111, where there you are put into a cryogenic stasis chamber. Scientists think they have found out where Mars earth-like atmosphere had gone The answer says to be "blowing in the wind" according to Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. what that means Is that the atmosphere is said to have been stripped away by Solar winds, that had also made the water disappear. Without any atmosphere, the water had evaporated. The planet is now unable to support life. Why hasn't this happened to earth yet, you may, or may not be wondering. Well, it seems to be because earth has a thing called a global magnetic field, no other planets in our solar system has this. The magnetic field that makes compasses work, also shields us from those solar flares. (Thanks earth!) how's that? I'll have more articles throughout the week, got any advice? maybe some constructive criticism? Feel free to share. (this is afterall my first time doing something like this.)
Apple’s iPad Pro Apple recently released a new iPad in an obvious attempt to make a competitor for Microsoft's surface pro (the name even gives it away). Though, to be fair, I’ll keep what I think out of this one. So far it is one of the fastest Apple tablets to date. With iOS 9.0’s newest split window feature, it provides 2 almost iPad sized applications on screen. Only for a “low” price of 799.00 USD. You can also purchase a pressure sensitive stylus called “Pencil” for an extra 100.00 USD. The stylus charges right from the iPad, so no need to worry about any more unneeded cords. On top of that the iPad Pro comes with a new smart connector located on the side of the device, that currently allows a keyboard attachment, but may allow different things in the future. At the moment, buying a specialized keyboard for this costs about 150.00 USD. To wrap it up, the iPad Pro is an ideal tablet for the average apple user, if you have the money.
Blackberrys already making another phone Blackberry, has already leaked a new phone, that seems to be a Priv and passport hybrid called Vienna. The keyboard is no longer a slide one,but is always accessible, the phone seems rather long, but will possibly be slimmer than their Priv phone. Not much more has been said about this
Self driving car pulled over (These things look silly) Yesterday a self driving car was pulled over, for take a guess...Going too fast? Surprisingly not, the car was going to slow, 24 miles in a 35 mile per hour zone, and was clogging up traffic. No ticket was given. Though the Google project responded in a blog post, saying it’s never received a ticket and adding, “Driving too slowly? Bet humans don’t get pulled over for that too often.”
