Apple's 5K iMac, 14.7 Million Pixels



What is up people?

Apple's annual Keynote was a pretty nice event overall. We got to see some pretty impressive pieces of tech such as the iPad Air 2 and the iPad mini 3 with Retina display. But I think Apple's 5K iMac was the thing which caught a lot of people's attention.

Apple's new iMac features an incredible 27- inch display with an insane 5210 x 2880 resolution. Yep people that's 14.7 million pixels in total. Now I know that this is the type of display which a lot of video professionals and photographers would love to get their hands on. During Apple's Keynote the words which really stuck out to me were "You've never seen the level of detail that you'll see on the new iMac." 

The thing which I've always loved about the iMac is that everything is together with only that one cable running from the back of the display to the socket. It's a pretty cool idea if you think about it. You'll find a 3.5GHz Intel i5 processor in the new 5K iMac but for a pretty steep price you can bump that up to a 4GHz Intel Core i7 processor. 

Apple's new iMac with Retina display has a starting price of $2,499. If you do however decide to purchase the iMac you'll also receive 8GB of memory and a 1TB drive.

GTA Online "The Last Team Standing" Update



What is up people?

It is time for another update roundup and this time I am bringing you guys the latest info on Rockstar's brand new update which goes by the name of "The Last Team Standing". Over these past couple of months Rockstar have been rolling out their content like crazy. But did anyone else notice one thing? The day when Rockstar pushes out new content is usually a Tuesday. This time the DLC was released on a Thursday and who knows? Maybe they wanted to see how the people would respond or maybe they just had a really bad bug on their hands which they had to get rid of, in order to ensure a smooth experience for the player. Okay here's the update.

Update:

Vehicles: In this update you get three vehicles in total. One is a brand new Lampadati Furore GT, which features amazing handling, a pretty nice sounding engine and sadly there isn't much you can do in terms of customization. If you do plan on purchasing this vehicle I highly recommend modifying the engine. Trust me you'll need it.

The next two vehicles which are recurring vehicles from Grand Theft Auto V's predecessor The Lost and Damned are the Shitzu Hakuchou, which is a sweet sport bike and a LCC innovation chopper which sounds just as bad ass as it looks.

Weapons: Two new weapons are ready to hit the streets in this update. For all of you shotgun and sniper freaks out there I have some good news for you. Two new firearms are available the Heavy Shotgun which does some serious damage and the Marksman Rifle which can guarantee you a one shot kill. On top of that you get a bulletproof helmet, which means that your friend will no longer be able to shot you by "accident" in the head. You'll also get some new masks, tops and much more.

On top of everything which you have read here Rockstar have also added the Last team standing creator mode. Here you guys can create your own GTA online jobs where two teams fight to the end and there's no second chances, so think before you try and take out eleven opponents on your own.

Make sure to take part in the event weekend where you'll be able to take part in jobs such as Skyscraper, Paleto Bay-Tanks and much more.

2nd Generation iPad Air may be offered in Gold


What is up people?

When the first generation iPhone came out back in 2007 it was offered solely in the color black. As the years went by Apple began to experiment with different color options for its devices. It was proven in being a major success for the company as consumers all around the world suddenly began to demand colors such as white, space grey, silver and most recently gold. 

A device which has not yet been introduced to the color gold is the iPad. According to Bloomberg Apple will add a gold color option for it's full-size iPad in order to "boost a category which is in decline." To me it's not surprising at all that Apple is experiencing a decline when it comes to their tablet sales as the iPhone 6 plus features a pretty large 5.5" retina HD display. 

Apple is set to unveil their brand new 9.7-inch iPads at the end of this month and will more than likely include gold as a color of choice for the rear panel of the device. Hopefully this addition will boost Apple's sales slightly as in 2010 when the iPad was first introduced the company made $5 billion. That figure continued to grow rapidly and in 2012 that figure became $30 billion. Last year that figure only rose by a disappointing $2 billion, which clearly shows a decline in the tablet market. 

Apple's second generation iPad Air is also expected to feature Touch ID, a thinner design, improved cameras and a much faster processor.
