If you’re looking forward to an updated version of the Canon EOS 7D, word on the street has it that Canon could be prepping an EOS 7D Mark II and according to the folks at Canon Rumors, a source has tipped them off that an announcement of the alleged device could be taking place sometime in February next year. Their source has also provided them with a spec list of the camera and for those interested in a successor to the 7D, we could be looking forward to a 24.2MP APS-C sensor, 10.2 fps shooting, Dual Digic V, dual card slot although there was no mention of which cards will be supported, a new ergonomic design, and a new battery. Since there isn’t any hard evidence to prove that these could be the specs of the alleged 7D Mark II, we suggest you take it with a grain of salt for now, but in the meantime what do you think? Is this what you might have expected, or are you hoping for something better?

A signed product by the CEO of the company or its designer isn’t for everyone – after all they are usually priced way higher than the original, but at the same time we guess its price point can be justified by collectors who are looking to get their hands on a one-of-a-kind item. That being said if you think that describes you or someone you know, you might be interested to learn that a 32GB Microsoft Surface tablet signed by none other than Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer has gone up for auction on eBay where at this time of posting, it is priced at a whopping €1,500.
We’re sure that many developers get frustrated at times thanks to the internet trolls who sometimes leave fake reviews, making negative claims about an app even though they are false. This is partly thanks to the fact that we get to hide behind our internet screen names, but it looks like reviews on Google Play could soon take a serious turn as Google has integrated Google+ into the Google Play store. Basically what this means is that if you wanted to leave a review on an app that you’ve been using, whether positive or negative, you will need to sign in with your Google+ profile and as you can see in the screenshot above, the reviews will now show that it has been reviewed by “A Google user”. We’re not sure if full integration has been implemented, but we expect that similar to YouTube, your real name (or whatever name you’ve listed on your Google+ account) will be revealed, which means that silly and troll-ish reviews will soon come with a real name attached to them, hopefully making reviews a more legit read.
Based on the various reports we’ve read so far, it certainly sounds like Nokia’s latest flagship phone, the Lumia 920, is doing pretty well for itself, and to be honest after seeing the handset officially unveiled a few months ago, it made me want to hop aboard the Windows Phone bandwagon myself and unsurprisingly those sentiments appear to be shared by many around the world. Even retailers have sung praises about the device, in particular one Finnish retailer who claims that the Lumia 920 has had the highest demand in their stores compared to other Nokia phones released in the past 10 years!
