There comes a point in time when everyone starts to look forward to a particular game which might just be a defining moment in a console’s life, and I would suppose that Titanfall would be one of such titles on the next generation Xbox One console. Titanfall was first revealed at E3 2013, and it has since grown to be one of the more highly anticipated games in the new generation of consoles. In fact, Titanfall has already picked up over 80 awards from critics worldwide, where the game itself has been specially described to be “a brave new vision of the future of multiplayer games”, “the first real next-gen shooter” and “the most addictive game ever.”
Hopefully, with such an incredible amount of pressure riding on this title in order to make it a success on the Xbox One platform, it will be able to deliver when the crunch time comes. In fact, to celebrate the launch of Titanfall, it seems that Xbox One fans will be in for a treat. As part of an encouragement for more of your mates to join in on day one of the game’s launch itself, it is set to arrive in the form of the Xbox One Titanfall Bundle. This unique bundle will be made available from March 11 onward over at select retailers, where it will be selling for $499.99 a pop.
You can definitely place a pre-order if you are interested, and just to make sure you know what you are getting into, this particular bundle will include a download code for a digital copy of Titanfall, a standard Xbox One console with a Kinect sensor, a single Xbox One wireless controller which will be accompanied by a chat headset, in addition to a single month’s worth of Xbox Live Gold membership. Any interested parties so far?

You know someone gets into a relationship, and you think to yourself that there’s no way it’s going to last? It’s cruel, but not as cruel as actually saying it out loud and betting on it. But that’s exactly what ForeverNOT wants you to do.
It’s a new app that lets users anonymously bet on whether or not their friends’ relationships will last. If you’re not one to judge your friends or their relationships, then perhaps you might be more comfortable with passing judgement on celebrity couplings, like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, for instance.
The app itself is simple enough to use: just hit F for ‘Forever’ and N for ‘Not’ when the couple’s page is brought up. It then displays the overall odds that the relationship will last.
ForeverNOT can be downloaded for free from iTunes.

Slowly but surely Samsung is rolling out the much awaited Android 4.4.2 update for its existing devices, making sure that KitKat hungry users get their chocolate fix as soon as possible. After a pre-release build made its way online, Samsung has now started to roll out the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Android 4.4.2 update. This happens to be the first time that an Exynos powered variant of Samsung’s flagship smartphone has received the update prior to the Snapdragon variant, which is almost always the first to receive new updates.

This may be as close as you'll ever get to a "Tron" ride.

It’s a simple equation. You watch “Tron” or “Tron: Legacy” and then you want a Light Cycle. But you can’t have a Light Cycle, because they don’t really exist (this crazy custom bike being an exception). You can, however, have an upcoming Lotus C-01 motorcycle, which has “Tron: Legacy” designer Daniel Simon’s fingerprints all over it.
The clean lines, low riding position, and silhouette of the C-01 are definitely reminiscent of the “Tron” bikes. Instead of glowing blue, it has gold-painted accents, but you could always repaint it to get closer to the “Tron” look through a customization service that will be offered for the machines.
Though the C-01 is badged as a Lotus (the first with that distinction), the carmaker did not design, engineer, or produce the motorcycle. It’s actually made by Kodewa Performance Motorcycles. At least the C-01 is more than a few steps up from just gluing a Mercedes logo to a Buddy 50 scooter.
A C-01 prototype with a 200-horsepower engine has been made and tested. Only 100 production bikes will be offered. Pricing is expected to be around $140,000.

A few weeks back there were a lot of rumors about what HTC was to unveil at Mobile World Congress 2014, but not all of them have turned out to be true. Apart from launching a mid-range Android smartphone, HTC doesn’t have much to show at this industry event. Its 2014 flagship will be unveiled at a separate event on March 25th. A rumor had also claimed that the HTC smartwatch would be shown to carriers behind closed doors at MWC 2014, and while there’s no definitive word on that as yet, the company has formally confirmed its interest in making wearable devices and said that the smartwatch will be ready around the holiday season.

[MWC 2014] Intel has just announced their next generation processors that will see action in Android-powered devices – including smartphones and tablets. This new generation of processors will undergo the 22nm process, resulting in 64-bit chips that are capable of touching clock speeds of up to 2.13 GHz. Known as the Intel Atom Z3460 and Atom Z3480 “Merrifield” processors, they are touted to deliver superior performance as well as potentially additional battery life compared to its predecessor, which has been called by the “Clover Trail+” moniker in the past.
