I’m working on a complete post about the devices Samsung showed at there event. I know it’s bed some days but I have been working on other things and other writings.
Also, Microsoft changed the Xbox One’s acts on used games and having to be plugged into the Internet. They also wanted to buy Nokia but Huawei might be beating them to it. I don’t know completely, I have to look into that some more.
It’s also 2:17 in the morning and these are kind of the thoughts that ran by me.
Today as I was on twitter, tweeting like normal people, I saw Instagram tweet first that they now have video features and then everyone else started tweeting about it too.
REALLY?! FUCKING REALLY?!
I think it’s a stupid ass feature they never needed! I don’t have a Vine today because I don’t like it.
Facebook did not need to put this on Instagram.
*hard sighs* Oh fucking well…
Today at 19:00 BST (2:00pm Eastern/11:00am Pacific) Samsung will be having an event to show off new Hardware.
I will be watching the PocketNow Round Table and the Cnet Live Stream
This is something I’m kind of confused about. Is it out or not? I’m not sure, I see people making a video about it but what I don’t see is the camera on the Samsung site. I’m not going to talk about this until I see it on Cnet and/or PocketNow. I’ll wait before writing my thoughts on this camera.
Hashtags, photos in comments, and now videos on Instagram.
I have to say, the Hashtag thing was GOING to happen. Everyone is using it and you know Facebook was going to do it. The photo posting in comments thing, after testing it out today I found myself very addicted to do just like the hashtags and the feature that you can post emoicons of how you feels.
But when you start giving Instagram the feature to make short videos, I can’t get behind that. Facebook, like it or not, is one of the most used and successful social networks to date and for Facebook to be coping another feature from Twitter is like the girl who had everything plus the perfect boyfriend (the Internet) but over time found out he was cheating on her with Twitter because not only did Twitter have a personality but she has the boobs and butt that Facebook didn’t.
That’s how I see it.
Facebook saw that so many people are using Twitter’s Vine app and that; “maybe I can get my boyfriend back with I do the same thing!” So of right now, it is just being talked about, it has not happened YET. I do believe that this just might happen because it seems Facebook wants to be better Twitter.
BUT HERE’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, FACEBOOK: Add Gifs! Let the site/app be able to read gifs! That’s all we really want.
I read that Microsoft is now letting you play as long as you want without Internet and they are “fixing” the use games issue that so many people bitched about.
We all had problems with the way Microsoft went with the Xbox One. We thought it was unfair for these policies to even be brought up. After hearing the complaints and loosing the battle at E3 to Sony, they finally came to terms about these restrictions. Now if only they can lower down that price.

I’ve seen that both of these huge things was talked about today. Sadly, I wasn’t able to watch a live stream of either of them.
So, for iOS 7 I will wait until I will be able to upgrade my phone to talk about this.
Xbox One, because it will be $500 when it comes out, I might be getting it soon. Maybe tax time but who knows. For this I will try to learn what I can before writing another thought about it.
Right now, as I’m typing this, I’m watching the Pocket Now Live Chat and they are talking about WWDC and what Apple can do better.
I myself am not an Apple fan. I hate the OS but I love the devices. They make beautiful phones, screens, and laptops but the OS is the only thing I hate. I do hate their cockiness but that’s not what I’m talking about today.
Now, because this iOS 7 has not been officially leaked, most of these thoughts and pictures are fake or one maybe real I just don’t know. But most likely, they will change. So lock screen is the same as the last one, no dash board is the same as the other.
iOS 7 was said to be COMPLETELY redesigned to be more bold, FLAT, and perfect? I got bored of the older UI really fast and I wanted something new and out there. But for that you’ll have to jailbreak your i-whatever. I don’t want to jailbreak my i-whatever!
So, for all I know this new iOS is going to have Widgets on it!!!! Or, at least, that’s what it looks like. Now, I do have to say, this looks really cute. A little bit too cutesy to be Apple. It mostly looks like Go Luncher on default for i-whatever.
The dash board and the lock looks a lot better. So what Apple’s really going to do is add Widgets or something like that because that’s what everyone wants! But they could fuck with us and not give us Widgets and just a new look to the UI. Then again, think about it; do you know how many people are saying there is going to be Widgets/Small Apps? This means, so many people want that to come true. And do you know what will happen if they don’t get that? I don’t think Apple wants to know what will happen.
My thought is that Apple does not have the luxury of screwing people over not with the Samsung phones nipping at their heels. I feel like WWDC could be their big break IF THEY DO IT RIGHT. By that I mean, giving people what they want. Sadly, Apple users want it to be like Android without having the name Android. My biggest question to Apple is; How can you do that without looking like an Android copy?
And my thought to that is; I don’t think they can. I don’t know what Apple is going to give us or how it’s even going to help them. But for all the Apple fans out there and for Apple, I really hope it’s good.
Kind of late, I know. I’m sorry.

On the day of the Xbox One release I was jumping. I was in school, with my tablet out watching the
CNet livestream on the console. Sadly, I caught it late but I saw enough and now I’m reading enough.
Watching the livestream I really loved what I saw, I loved how I saw it but I wasn’t loving what I was reading.
The mane problem that I read everywhere was the thought that it wouldn’t play used games.
This now has been dismissed and the XboxOne has a “OKAY” with used games.
But then there was the problem for some people that I don’t believe that talked about a lot
and that’s the no play back feature. I fucking blew up.
This means you will now have an Xbox One and an Xbox 360. This isn’t good news for me or my family
to read about because if you’re like me and my family, you will have an Xbox 360, an Xbox One, a PS3, a PC, and a Wii.
We are really big on gaming so the Wii U, PS4, and Steam Box, before 2015.
That’s a lot of consoles. We only keep our Wii and PS3 because it plays Game Cube and PS2 games. The fact that we will
need to have 2 Xbox consoles in the house sicken me. I love my 360 but I don’t want to I don’t want to play Saints Row 3
and have to plug in the One for to play Sims4.
On the last note, I don’t know how I feel about the controller and the Kinect.
The all black Xbox 360 controller is the only one I use. We have a black with gray analog stick and arrow keys
but it feels bigger then the all black one and I don’t like it. This new controller looks really good and it looks like
it would have a really good feel to it. I like how it looks.
But the Kinect, I have one, we have some games for it but the only game I play is Rise of Nightmare, that’s my mind of game.
The way it looks is clean, it looks slick, it’s nice, and I’m sure it’s default. So if you get the Xbox One you will get a Kinect as well
and I’m kind of okay with that. I most likely won’t use it but you can sell it. It’s kind of a whatever-whatever thing
I don’t care much about it but to have it is nice because what if they come out with a really good horror Kinect game
and I really want it. Like Rise of Nightmare. That’s game’s the only reason why I even have a Kinect in the first place.
