Hasta La Gadget!

There seems to be a fair share of Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone models out in the market, and depending on which region that you live in, the model number differs. Those who happen to live in South Korea would have been able to take advantage of an LTE-A-equipped Samsung Galaxy S4 that boasts of a speedy Snapdragon 800 CPU underneath the hood, while folks living elsewhere had to settle for an Exynos 5 or Snapdragon 600 processor, which did not seem to be fair at all.

More than two months ago, it seems that we heard about the possibility of the Galaxy S4 LTE model headed for Europe, bearing the model number GT-I9506. Since good things always come to those who wait, a GT-I9506 product page has already made an appearance on Samsung’s German site. This would mean the CPU in that particular model would make it be on a level fighting ground with the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Note 3 flagship device, in addition to the other flagships from rival smartphone manufacturers such as Nokia and LG.

While no European countries are known to actually support the 150Mbps LTE-A speeds, it is always nice to have hardware that does before the rest of the infrastructure falls into place.

If you’re keen enough to have noticed the new listings for iPads in Apple’s online store since right around 24 hours ago, you’ll have seen the complete axing of the 3rd and/or 4th generation iPad. This replacement was made by the iPad Air, which now sits in stores as one of two full-sized iPads, the […]

If you have a spare $5,299.99(USD) you can buy this sweet new Star Trek Pinball machine for your man cave or replica Starship bridge. It looks pretty fun and your goal is to destroy the U.S.S. Vengeance. If you didn’t like Into Darkness, this will probably be a much better experience than what you saw on screen.

This is Stern’s first all LED illuminated pinball game. It has all the requisite lights and sounds of course, as well as phaser flashes and photon torpedoes.

There are six missions for casual players and 18 missions for those already familiar with Star Trek and pinball. Along the way, you will unlock specials, collect bonuses like a series of accolades called “The Captain’s Chair”. It looks like a fun table that will offer hours of play.

All of your favorite old enemies are here, like: Khan, Nero, Klingons, and the Narada. While it’s not the first Star Trek pinball machine – there have been several before this – it’s the first one from the J.J. Abrams universe. I’m disappointed by the lack of a single tribble however. Would it have killed them to sneak one in?

Other features include:

14 stand-up targets; stainless steel shooter lane ramp; two wide-entrance combo ramps; warp feedback ramp fed by 3rd flipper, left eject kicker lock; four balls; three flippers; three high-speed pop bumpers, two high-powered slingshot mechanisms, two electric gates in orbit lanes; and a Star Trek Starfleet Pro translite backglass.

Wealthy Trekkies will want to pre-order one now. It will be available in February from Entertainment Earth, or you can buy one right now from Stern Pinball.

There will be a new update for Bad Piggies, which will be known as Tusk ‘til Dawn, where zombie pigs has started to roam around, where we will see 30 spooky new levels introduced with scary Zombie Pigs searching for King Pig’s candy. Apart from that, this particular game will also feature a remix of Rovio’s official Halloween 2013 song, Shuffle & Spawn by Major Lazer. Those who love to pick up trivia, you will be able to find the original song in Angry Birds Friends.

To take a small detour, those who love vinyl will be in for a treat – and not a trick. Shuffle & Spawn has been released as an ultra limited edition picture vinyl, where it will include the original Major Lazer remix as well as a FOX remix. What do you think of the seasonal changes introduced into the Angry Birds franchise? It definitely brings around a nice touch for sure, but how much longer can this novelty last? Is it not time for Rovio to move on from the phenomenal success of the Angry Birds franchise and make sure that they will have another blockbuster up their sleeves in the near future for the masses?
