Hasta La Gadget!

It has been drummed into the heads and minds of many, that if you are using pirated software, it is as good as using stolen goods. Assuming you do not want to have any kind of goodwill with Santa this coming Christmas, you might want to find out just how you are able to crack and pirate apps from the Windows Store. It goes without saying, there is no 100% foolproof security measures, and despite Microsoft’s best efforts in ensuring that the Windows Store remains secure, Betanews claims that it has discovered an application which was posted over at My Digital Life which can be used to convert trial applications on the Windows Store into fully paid applications – all with a single press of a button.

This does sound too good to be true, and it sure as heck brings back memories in the past where old school DOS-based games which required a key or passcode to work could be cracked by overwriting the .EXE file of the game itself, which came included on the pirated disc. It seems that the Wsservice_crk has been available for some time already, first appearing on October 30th before it was on the receiving end of a bunch of updates. Apparently, once you have patched some of your system files, you are able to transform free trial applications available on the Store into full versions.

Chrysler plans to show off its upcoming 2013 Town & Country S minivan at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The vehicle has a sleek design and offers a variety of features, including a Blu-ray player, a ParkView rear camera, Blindspot Monitoring, and rain-sensitive windshield wipers. This is rounded out with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, and a decent fuel economy of 17mpg in the city and 25mpg on the highway.

The Town & Country S comes in Brilliant Black, Stone White, Billet Silver, and Deep Cherry Red, and features “revised trim that adds contrast” to the minivan’s exterior. There’s a black chrome grille, blacked out bezels around the headlights, and 17-inch polished aluminum wheels with pockets painted black. According to the press release, the headlight bezels have delayed availability.

Keeping in line with the “black” theme, the interior is monotone black, with Black Torino leather seats featuring grey stitching. The appliques are glossy Piano Black, as are the center and upper consoles and the headliner. You’ll find the “S” logo embroidered on the seats and featured in the instrument panel as well as on the exterior of the vehicle.

Chrysler’s CEO and President Saad Chehab offered this statement. “We tailored the new Town & Country S for the active and style minded consumers. It’s the downtown style for the Town & Country’s uptown looks. It’s more than fitting that we unveil this vehicle in Los Angeles given Town & Country S represents yet another modern take of ’313′ in the ’310.’”

For the ump-teenth time, the rumors were once again spot on. It was just a few weeks ago when we wrote to you about an Android smartphone from Lenovo that was rumored to sport a 3500 mAh battery. Well, Lenovo has finally unveiled the Lenovo P770 today and it does have a gargantuan 3500 mAh battery that, according to the company, has a standby time of 644 hours. Apart from the impressive battery capacity, the Lenovo P770 also runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

It has a 4.5-inch qHD high-definition display with a 960 × 540 resolution (sorry, no 1080p here) and it powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. The Lenovo P770 also features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing camera. Unfortunately though, the device is only available in China, at least for now. It sells for 1,699 CNY or roughly $273 based on today’s exchange rate.
