Hasta La Gadget!

Facebook fanatics have a smartphone to call their own, and now they have a camera, too. Canon’s PowerShot N, which first made its debut at CES, just scored a few (relatively minor) tweaks. The point-and-shoot features an unusual square design, so it can be rotated and held in a variety of orientations. There’s a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, 28-224mm f/3.0-5.9 8x optical zoom lens and a 2.8-inch capacitive-touch tilting LCD, just as you’ll find on the original. In fact, the Facebook branding represents the only significant change here, including a dedicated button on the side to upload images to the site (via built-in WiFi) and a new Facebook upload option in the system menu. It’s hardly worth “upgrading” from the original N, but if Facebook is your life, get ready to hand over 300 bucks for this Canon online store exclusive beginning next month.

In this day and age, we tend to be more busy than ever before, with tons of tasks to keep up to, and it can be all too easy to forget about what lies ahead when our days are jam-packed with appointments left and right. Of course, having an organizer would go a long way in helping us figure things out, to make sure that we do not miss an appointment somewhere along the day. Good thing there is Google Keep, an app that helps remind you of important tasks as well as errands at just the right time and place.

Take for instance,Keep will play nice with Google Now in order to let you know that there is a grocery list waiting for you each time you enter your favorite grocery store, while gently reminding you on Thursday night that it is time for the trash to be taken out. To get off the right footing, choose the “Remind me” button from the bottom of any note, and select the type of reminder that you want to add. Other than that, you too, are able to add time-based reminders for a specific date and time, as well as a more general time of day including tomorrow morning. You can get the latest version of Google Keep from the Play Store.

Microsoft’s Windows Phone mobile operating system might not have made quite the splash in the US market as much as Microsoft would have liked it to, as it remains far behind Android and iOS as the OS of choice among mobile devices. Well, things are looking rather rosy in different parts of the world, and just down south of the US, the entire are that we know of as Latin America boasts Windows Phone as the second most widely used mobile OS, at least according to the folks at IDC. in all of Latin America.

According to Microsoft’s press release, the second quarter of 2013 saw an overall 12% percent growth in Latin America when it comes to Windows Phone. It is also first runner up in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. The percentage of Colombian Windows Phone owners happens to be 25.6% among smartphone users there, while other Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile and Brazil, see Windows Phone sitting comfortably in third place. All of those rather impressive positions could be attributed to the affordable Nokia Lumia 520 as well as the higher end Lumia 920. Do you think that Windows Phone would see a similar explosive growth rate in other developing countries, or do you think it is a Latin America thing only? [Press Release]

We have seen a trailer of Dead Rising 3 just a couple of days ago, and here we are with the gameplay trailer for Dead Rising 3, in all of its CGI glory, where you will also be introduced to your fair share of crazy looking death vehicles. I am quite sure that when you watched the Dead Rising 3 cinematic trailer which was depicted recently as mentioned above, chances are you would be wondering whether Capcom might want to steer the title towards a more mature and serious direction. The latest cinematic trailer as shown in the video above happens to do away with such seriousness – considering how you are able to dress up like Evel Knieval with boxing gloves that are connected to a special air blower wannabe so that it can deliver additional projection.

Dumb as ever, you say. Perhaps, but it might just be the zany method of the game that makes people keep on coming back. Dark humor can be quite a niche market, but at least it is still humorous and not so dark and brooding like an actual zombie apocalypse, no? It remains to be seen just how Dead Rising 3 will pan out as a game, but we will just have to wait for a few more months before the title is released.
