Why a MacBook Pro?


What's up everyone? A few months back during the month of February I suddenly began to find video editing and the whole editing process quite intriguing. I did some research in relation to editing software and I came across Sony Vegas movie studio which was considered as one of the best software's on the market. (I don't use it now, it's another story) Without hesitation I jumped onto Amazon and bought the software. I quickly got the hang of things and everything was exactly the way I had imagined it but I couldn't help to notice that the laptop computer which I was using was terrible.
The laptop was slow and often became unresponsive when the software was running. Whenever I tried to render the finished product it would shut down completely where I would then be welcomed by a nice black start up screen which would ask me if I would like to "Start Windows normally." It was a pain but luckily it got me to where I am today and actually landed me my first editing job for a pretty big company. With the money which I had earned over there I decided to invest it in a custom built PC which is an absolute beast. Video editing is nice and smooth and movies are fully rendered within 5 minutes which is a major improvement from the crappy laptop which would take 2-3 hours to render the same movie. I love my custom beast to death but there's yet another problem which I have encountered.
As a writer, short film maker and a photographer my job consists of me travelling quite a lot. I love to travel don't get me wrong but I have noticed that a lot of my clients want to have a lot of things edited in a very short period of time or even there and then and as you can see I need something which is strong in terms of raw computing power, but which also looks stylish and appealing to look at. That's why I have decided to invest another sum of money towards the 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
The reason why I have decided to go for this particular laptop is its light and easy to carry around. It looks cool wherever you go and it has a beautiful display which is great when showing photos and videos to potential clients. The Pro is a pretty strong laptop in terms of computing power and will definitely get the job done in a few hours when I'm staying at a hotel room or when I'm flying from A to B. It's also nice knowing that I have a nice and reliable companion by my side when travelling the world.
Here's where I need your help people, for anyone that's a MacBook user let me know what you think of the machine in the comments below and for anyone who is currently editing on a laptop let me know what make and model you have and would you recommend it.

Tekken 7 will be powered by unreal engine 4


Whenever Sony launch a new console they only make the console available in one primary color and that is black. As the months go by people always begin to question whether the console will be available in any other color and the answer to that is yes. Sony have been doing the old color add on since the PlayStation 2 and recently in an interview with a gaming site called GameOne Mr. Shuhei Yoshida has announced that a white PlayStation 4 will be available on Sept. 9 as part of the Destiny bundle.

The white PlayStation 4 will also be available for purchase as a standalone without a copy of the game after the bundle is released. Mr. Yoshida explained that the white standalone version of the console will only be available for purchase throughout Europe and did not mention anything about the white standalone version making its way to the United States or Japan.


The white PlayStation 4 looks pretty sweet and it may be enough for me to upgrade from the black. I'm moving out in a month anyway so it would be nice to go from one console to another.

Amazon wants to test drones outdoors


A few months back Amazon have created a flying drone which can deliver a small package to the consumer in less than 30 minutes. The drone is capable of carrying an object which weighs around 5 pounds and can reach a maximum speed of 50 mph. The idea is really cool and if you're ordering something small like a HDMI cable or a keyboard for your computer you would not have to wait a few days for it to arrive. I'm guessing that the drone would appeal to many people especially those who need something urgently.
A few days ago my video editing software refused to function properly and I needed it in order to finish a video for a company. I checked the quick delivery box and even with that delivery method selected it took one day for the new software to arrive. One day may not seem like such a long time but in my case it was. The next morning the company had called me and said that they needed the film in a few hours and I could not be late. I began to worry a little bit but luckily the delivery guy brought my software one hour before the project had to be sent off. These type of situations occur all the time and these delivery drones may be the answer to all of them.
According to LA times Amazon wants an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration which say that businesses can test drones only indoors, saying it needs to conduct research flights for its experimental and not yet functioning delivery system, Amazon Prime Air, in the outdoors.
In the letter which Amazon have sent to the FAA, Amazon says that they want to be subject to the same regulation as hobbyists and manufactures of model aircraft  groups that are allowed to fly outdoors.
In my opinion as long as these drones don't randomly come falling out of the sky or try to attack me I'm fine with the idea and I can't wait to see these drones in action.

Apple placed order for 68 Million iPhone 6 units


We are halfway through the month of July and this is usually the time when Apple writes their letter to Santa Claus asking for millions of iPhones because they were such a good company all year long. 2014 has been going pretty quick and at this rate September is right around the corner.
According to a report from Taiwan's Business Weekly, Apple had ordered an incredible amount of new handsets for the phones launch which is set for September. This year Apple has ordered twice as many handsets as it did for the iPhone 5. Apple is allegedly coming out with two models of the iPhone a 4.7 inch model for those who don't feel the need to walk around with the 5.5 inch model which will also be available in September.
Considering that this is usually the time when Apple places the order for its handsets it all seems to be going according to plan. The only mystery which remains is whether the company has placed an order for the 4.7 inch unit or the 5.5? I for one can't wait for the launch of the iPhone 6 and allegedly the iPhone 6 is meant to be packing an A8 processor which is a nice upgrade from the A7 processor chip.
Let me know people if you're planning on picking this device up or if you're upgrading to a different phone in general. Follow me on Twitter for regular updates and news about the site and if you like what you have read here be sure to click that follow button for the latest game and tech news.
