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.

App Review "Clear"


What is up people? 

I haven't done an app review in a really long time and it's something which I've been meaning to get back into. As a journalist, organisation and time management is crucial and oddly enough it is something which I have struggled with for a long period of time. I read a few articles here and there which were specifically created  for people who want to apply a better structure to their day. All of those articles had one thing in common and that was "Write down what you want to accomplish in a day."

It seemed pretty straightforward at first but I was never that pen and paper guy and I knew that an alternative to that would be my iPhone. I fired up the App Store and in the search bar I typed in the words "To-Do list". I got various apps which claimed to be easy and effective to use but sadly they weren't. I found it difficult to navigate through my tasks and oftentimes it took me more time to create the task than to actually do it. I knew there had to be something better out there and after a few rounds of trial and error I came across "Clear".

The first thing which caught my attention was the app's bright orange logo which is very pleasant to look at. I scrolled through a few preview images of the app and I already knew that it would be perfect.

Without hesitation I bought the app for $4.99 and within seconds I was creating events, adding reminders and deleting events which had been completed. The app also gives you the option to prioritize your events by dragging one event above the other. By simply swiping down you can create a new event and add a reminder which will also be present in the notification center. To be honest with you it is one impressive app and due to its simple design and ease of use it really allows people to get work done efficiently and helps them to focus on important tasks throughout the day.

I give "Clear" a perfect 10/10 as it has met all of my To-Do list needs and I'm sure that it is going to meet all of yours as well.

WordLoops website...coming soon

What is up people?

It's been a long time since I sat down and wrote something just for fun. I miss it though, I miss the feeling which I used to get when I pressed the keys on my keyboard. I miss the feeling of satisfaction and pride when I saw my view count go flying up because all of you people were enjoying the content which I produced. For a moment I was blind with photography and videos, but deep down inside, something wasn't right and that was I was born to be a writer. From a young age I promised myself that I would not be one of those people who hated what they were doing in life. I strongly believe in two words and those are "Just Live" That's why I got them tattooed on my arm. It's something which I want to be reminded of every single day. Don't overthink things, just do them. 

I was lost. And I started to notice that a few weeks ago. "Do I want to write? Do I want to take photos? Or do I want to make videos? I knew my only option was to go to the source which would suck the life out of me. My grandparents. I love my grandparents but let's just say they're very conservative. They never believed in me and still consider whatever I do as a child's game. They see me as a child. When I came back everything was clear to me I was born to be a writer, words run through my veins and it's a talent which I want to develop and take full advantage of. That's why I'm coming back stronger than ever and ready to bring you guys some awesome content. I know I'm a bit rusty but give me a few days and I'll be back with the highest quality content. I PROMISE. All of you people have been amazing supporting the site by commenting and sharing and that's why I want to finally launch the official WordLoops website which will only make my content more enjoyable and easier for you people to navigate through. I'll upload some photos which you people can check out to see what I've been up to. Follow me on Twitter for the latest game and tech news @WordLoops  and as always...

See you all soon !!!

Unlocking your device is legal


As some of you may recall due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, unlocking your device became illegal, which was a major disappointment to consumers all around the U.S. To some of you out there unlocking your device may not have been the  number one thing on your priority list but I guess it's all about choice right? We want the choice to choose which carrier we want to be with and if that carrier fails to meet our current mobile/networking needs it's simply time to change.
Over a year later since unlocking your device became illegal, we have a clear indication that the petition which was up on the White House's We the People site was proven to be majorly effective. President Obama has signed into the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act. The White House said that there were over 144,000 signatures in relation to the matter. The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act was approved by the House of Representatives.
The White House said that " As long as their phone is compatible and they have compiled with their contracts, consumers will now be able to enjoy the freedom of taking their mobile service-and a phone they already own-to the carrier that best fits their needs."
Everything seems super awesome so far right? Well there is one more thing. This ruling will be reconsidered a year from now and if all is a good then the ruling will only be reconsidered every three years after that. Have fun unlocking all of your devices and lets hope that unlocking your device will continue to stay legal.

My next handheld device


What's up everyone? There comes a time in everybody's life when you simply don't look on your mobile device the same way you used to the first day you got it. You start to focus more on the negatives rather than the positives and you begin to feel like the phone is out to get you. By that I mean the phone would take a really long period of time in order to boot up or that the buttery smooth experience which was once a joy, is no longer present. We've all been there people and I'm starting to feel the very same way about my iPhone 4. Yes I said it, the iPhone 4. I've had the device since it was first released back in 2010 and I have never felt the need to change it annually like other people do.
We are currently in the month of August and a lot of cool devices have been announced so far such as the iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy s5 which is an amazing device but there has got to be something better out there, there just has to be. With that idea on my mind I decided to do a little bit more research in terms of the pure android experience and some of my readers probably already know where this is going. If not, here are some hints which will surely get you people going KitKat, stunning display, wireless charging. Yes people my next handheld device of choice is the one and only Nexus 5.
The Nexus series has always taken tech reviewers and people all around the world by surprise mainly due to the fact that the device is an affordable monster. A couple of nights ago I was watching a comparison video between the iPhone 5s and the Nexus 5 and the results which I saw were outstanding. Even though the Nexus may have only been a few seconds quicker than the iPhone its still something right? It just truly shows that you don't need to pay a crap load of money in order to get a top of the range device.
The phone features a beautiful 4.95 inch 1920 by 1080 display, a Snapdragon 800, 2.26GHz processor, its the first phone to have Android's latest software the Android 4.4 KitKat. It has a 1.3MP front facing camera which I'm not overly concerned about and an 8MP rear facing camera with optical image stabilization. The great thing is that the phone is incredibly light weighing in at 4.59 ounces (130g). For those of you who may be concerned about the battery life of this device I have some bad news for you. Due to the fact that the phone is incredibly thin and light it means that there wasn't much room for a huge battery which means that you probably will not be able to go a full day without having to charge the device, especially if you're going to have that LTE network running in the background.
On the bright side the device is available in three colors, Black, White and Red and you can either purchase a 16GB or 32GB  version of the device. By the way for those of you out there who have a colorful personality you can always pick up a nice case which looks cool and protects your device at the same time.
Overall this device is everything I need in order to communicate with all of you out there via Twitter and scoping out the latest pieces of games and tech via the super quick web browser, Google Chrome. Let me know in the comments below if you are also thinking of picking this one up or if you already own this fantastic device and let me know what your overall experience with the device is.
