Hasta La Gadget!

I was walking through the store with my daughter over the weekend and she went neigh hysterical when we passed a green shirt. I simply had to buy it because if I didn’t she would get pinched at school on “Irish Day” and if I didn’t buy it that means I wanted her to get pinched and hated her. Naturally, I gave in and bought the shirt, and then reminded her it was called St. Patrick’s Day. Irish Day is basically any day with beer.

Her subtle reminder that getting pinched sucks resonated with me. If you don’t want to get pinched or have someone at home you don’t hate, you need to buy them this shirt. It’s green and that’s all that really matters when it comes to not getting pinched on St. Patrick’s Day.

The fact that it says “Kiss Me I’m Elvish” is icing on the geeky cake. You can pick it up for $19.99(USD) at ThinkGeek or drop $30 on other clothing from the store and get it free while supplies last. If you don’t buy this for someone you love, thereby preventing pinches, it basically means you hate them.

Plex today announced the launch of its next-generation app meant for Roku. The company calls it one of its “most popular clients of all time,” and appears to be quite ecstatic about launching an entirely new app for Roku. The updated app brings improved visuals and content discovery feature. Users get a broader view of their video content with custom screens built in that bring the user experience in line with what Plex users get on PlayStation, Xbox and TV clients.

Plex says that the new app is incredibly fast and smooth, which is always a good nothing, nobody likes a sluggish app. Performance is often the main point that users judge an app upon and Plex’s claims make it seem like Roku users will give the new app two thumbs up.

The new app supports video and music playback, Plex’s new discovery interface, Cinema Trailers, Plex Home and Plex Companion. Photos, playlists and channels are not yet supported but Plex says that they will be added soon to the Roku app.

Supported models include Roku 1/2/3, Roku TV and the Roku Stick. Users who purchased the app in the past will get it as a free update once the preview period ends.

To get the preview release users have to log into their Roku account here and follow these instructions.

We reported a couple of weeks back that Verizon might launch the BlackBerry Classic on February 26th. Apart from Big Red, AT&T is the only carrier that will sell this device, and it has already gone ahead with the launch. Verizon kept quiet about the date but word has come in today from BlackBerry itself. The company has confirmed the BlackBerry Classic Verizon launch date.

The BlackBerry Classic has a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 16GB onboard storage with microSD card support, a 3.5-inch HD display with Gorilla Glass 3, 2,500mAh battery and BlackBerry 10.3 OS.

It is meant for those hardcore BlackBerry users that just can’t live with the QWERTY keyboard and the iconic key belt which contains the trackpad, back button, BB key and buttons to pick up and reject calls.

BlackBerry Classic also comes with the Amazon Appstore preinstalled. Users can directly install Android apps from there, and BlackBerry World will be available to them as well.

The smartphone is compatible with Verizon’s 4G LTE network and is XLTE-Ready. Those who purchase it from Big Red on the MORE Everything plans will also receive 25GB free storage on Verizon Cloud.

BlackBerry Classic Verizon launch date is February 26th, customers will be able to purchase it online, and starting March 5th Verizon is going to have it in stores as well.

Customers will pay $99.99 if they go with a two year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. BlackBerry Classic can also be purchased on the Verizon Edge installment plan.

Blogger is a popular, and free, blogging platform owned by Google. It was one of the few platforms that were used for hosting sexually explicit content since Google didn’t stop users from doing so, Tumblr is another popular venue for such content, but now Google is changing its position. Starting next month the company will no longer allow sexually explicit content on websites that are hosted on Blogger.

Google has updated a support page for Blogger which now reads that “starting March 23, 2015, you won’t be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger.”

According to reports Blogger users were sent emails that notified them of this change. Google is not going to delete websites that host such content when the deadline arrives next month however after March 23rd all of those websites will be made private.

Those who want to make their websites public again will first have to delete content that Google will no longer allow on Blogger. The company does point out any new blogs created after March 23rd may automatically be deleted should they not adhere to this rule.

Google also makes a clarification: “We’ll still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.”

The company itself will be the judge of that.

Earlier this week we reported that a new Rock Band title is possibly under development and thus it could land on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at some point later this year. Now there’s a report which claims a new Guitar Hero title is being developed which would also put this popular franchise on the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft. Apparently the new title will be announced at the E3 conference this year.

Kotaku claims to have heard from two different sources that a new Guitar Hero game is being developed for next-generation consoles, and it says that the title will take “a more realistic” approach than previous titles in this franchise. New guitar peripherals are also said to be in development.

According to the report this title might be unveiled at E3 and a release could take place by the end of 2015. The previous title in this franchise, Warriors of Rock, was released back in September 2010.

It isn’t known for sure right now which studio is developing the new title, there is speculation that it might be one of Activision’s studios on the West Coast, which would mean that Vicarious Visions would have nothing to do with it.

When contacted by the scribe for a comment on the possible revival of this beloved music game franchise an Activision spokesperson pointed out that they don’t comment on rumor or speculation.
