Rockstar Games released its open-world crime simulator Grand Theft Auto 5 this week, which as a result has created quite a few stories of interest including a retailer handing out “fake cocaine“ to those who pre-ordered the game, a robbery and some guys acting like police officers in order to get the game early. As crazy as people have been going over Grand Theft Auto 5, there isn’t any news as crazy as reports of how much the game sold on its first day.
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 made a total of $800 million in just its first day of sales worldwide, according to Take-Two. This makes Grand Theft Auto 5 the leader in terms of highest first-day retail sales for Take-Two as well as any previously released Grand Theft Auto game and is set to break other records soon as analysts believe the game will cross the $1 billion threshold very soon.
What probably helped in the game receiving this kind of reception was due to the fact around 8,300 retail stores in North America held special midnight openings in order to meet consumer demand for the title. We’re sure it’ll only be a matter of days until we hear Grand Theft Auto 5 has hit $1 billion in sales, with sales certainly expected to pick up over the upcoming holiday season.

Who would have thought that Adobe would churn out hardware apart from software that they are so famous for? Adobe originally shared their vision for the Creative Cloud at MAX, where they claimed that this would open up the door for innovation and ultimately, help empower a new generation of creative folk. Of course, in order to make that vision come to pass, Adobe has decided to dip their toes into the world of creative hardware, and in this particular milestone, Adobe has introduced the idea of two devices – the cloud pen known as Project Mighty as well as the digital ruler that they call Project Napoleon. In order to bring both devices to pass as part of our reality, Adobe has teamed up with Adonit, who happens to be an awesome band of manufacturers that also believe in the power of creative devices that are paired with apps and services. The Adobe Mighty and Napoleon are tipped to ship sometime in the first half of next year.
In an early demonstration of Project Mighty, this unique creative pen happens to be pressure sensitive, which allow the artist in you to draw out natural and expressive lines. Not only that, the Project Mighty will be hooked up to the Creative Cloud, which enables one to tote one’s favorite personal digital assets wherever he or she goes, in addition to brushes and colors, not to mention the ability to copy and paste across devices, among others. No longer do you have to make the either-or decision of having the accuracy, expressiveness and immediacy of pen and paper while sacrificing the wonders of the Creative Cloud. Folks who are familiar with Wacom’s digitizer tablet should be able to resonate with Project Mighty right from the get go.
Needless to say, pricing and availability details remain unclear, but rest assured, Adobe will reveal additional information in due time.

During the beta of iOS 7, it was discovered that Apple started prompting users that their Lightning cable might not be the official product if it really was the case, but the message was merely a warning and the cable could still be used. However with the release of iOS 7, it seems that Apple has decided to outright block unauthorized Lightning cables as you can see in the screenshot above which was posted on Reddit. Authorized Lightning cables have chips embedded in them that identify them as authorized products, which might explain why they might be more expensive than the unauthorized ones.
While this is bad news for those who own unofficial cables, there is a work around although which you can try for yourself via the instructions found on Reddit. We’re not sure why Apple has decided to turn the warning message into an outright block, but perhaps it might have something to do with the recent bout of electrocutions that have taken place as a result of using unofficial products. Granted it was probably the charger that was at fault, but we guess Apple could have decided to be safe rather than sorry.
