<span lang="EN-US">The maker
of Blackberry smart phones RIM has reported losses of $125million</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>for the first quarter of 2012, compared to last year when
the company made a profit of $934million. RIM suggested that they will refocus
their market to businesses instead of the consumer market. This comes due to
stiff competition from Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android phones which outsell
Blackberries. As a Blackberry user I hope this does not mean the end of
services like BBM which I use every day and find a very useful tool for
contacting my friends. What do you think about this move by RIM let us know by
leaving us a comment below or sending @leatstechcorner a tweet.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Temple run
is the highly addictive iOS game that everyone is playing. It was created by
the Washington D.C. based developer Imangi Studios. It can be acquired for free
from the apple app store. It is soon to be released on the Android platform.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The basic
premise of the game is that you are running from a temple whilst being chased
by demon monkeys, you have to maneuver around corners by swiping your finger
left or right, you also might have to jump over gaps or obstacles by swiping
your finger upwards. There are also vicious
flames and deep tree roots that you have to duck under by swiping downwards
with your finger. The further you get the higher your score. The game features a store which allows you to
purchase upgrades which help you to improve your score; to purchase these
upgrades you must collect coins in the game by tilting your device towards the coins. This game is highly addictive and you will
spend a lot of time trying to beat not only your score but your mate’s score. The
game also features achievements that you get by completing tasks such as
getting a new high score, or by collecting a certain number of coins. The game also integrates apple’s game centre
system which allows you to view your friend’s high scores and also the top
scores in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The main
downside I have found to this game is that sometimes after pausing the game it doesn’t
give you enough time to recover and continue playing so pausing usually results
in me dying straight away. Another downside I have found is that the game doesn’t
always respond when you swipe across the screen and this has resulted in some
very frustrating games for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Overall I
would thoroughly recommend this game for hours of fun gameplay and competition
with your friends as you try to beat their high scores. This game will keep you entertained on long journeys
and will help to combat boredom. I would
give this game a rating of 8.5 out of 10.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">As you
might be aware the American government is trying to pass an act called SOPA,
which stands for Stop Online Piracy Act. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBtr4aZtmrQ" target="_blank">SOPA </a>is intended to clamp down on “rouge websites” such as piratebay
which host illegal content. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But many people are saying this act could be the
death of youtube because under this act you would not be able to post footage
of games without the developer’s permission, and the same goes for song covers,
it is for this reason I am against SOPA. I think that no country should not be
allowed to”censor “the web, this act would mean the end of my youtube career as
I have built a channel based on “lets plays “of games. Many big companies’s
such as Google and Wikipedia are against SOPA, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16590585" target="_blank">Wikipedia </a>are temporarily
shutting down the site in protest against SOPA, Google will be displaying an
anti SOPA message on their website in protest of SOPA as SOPA would censor Google
search engine results. Facebook and
yahoo have also expressed their opposition to SOPA by sending letters to key
members of the American senate. Let me know what you think of SOPA by leaving
a comment or by tweeting <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/leatstechcorner" target="_blank">@leatstechcorner</a> , use the hash tag <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23leatstechcorner" target="_blank">#leatstechcorner</a></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">The highly
anticipated game Modern Warfare3 was launched at midnight on 7<sup>th</sup> of
November. UK launch took place in Old
Billingsgate market, London and was streamed live on youtube to 1000’s of fans.
The launch featured a tournament which where the winner went up against the
best players in Europe and it was won by a British gamer. Example also
performed a live set, as did chase and status. The event was also attended by
many celebrities and the media. Another
highlight was the celebrity tournament , the UK was represented Joey Barton,
the QPR player he wasn’t great and described himself as a “camper” this was
followed by a huge boo from the crowd. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The live
stream was well presented by 4 presenters, David bass known on youtube as
daveyboyz, Rick Edwards the T4 presenter, Graeme Boyd of Xbox UK and Danny
Wallace, a journalist and radio presenter.
Trailers and unreleased footage of the game were showcased at the
launch; Graeme Boyd went to the Oxford Street game store where some fans had
supposedly been queuing since last week just to be first in line to get a copy
of the game. Soldier’s abseiled down the
side of the building with the first copies of the game. I ordered my copy of the game from Amazon and
I will be posting videos on my youtube channel as I have obtained an easy cap
capture card. Full review to come stay tuned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

aged 56. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time and it was
because of this that he stepped down as CEO of Apple. In his time at Apple he has revolutionised
technology, coming up with the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and of course the Macintosh
computers. Steve Jobs also co-founded Pixar Animation studios. Google paid
tribute to Steve Jobs by putting Steve Jobs 1955-2005 at the bottom of their
homepage. Apple has a huge picture of Steve Jobs followed by 1955-2011. Steve Wozniak
said he will remember Steve for “knowing what made sense in a product” he also
described him as a “visionary”. Steve Jobs will be sorely missed, a grave loss to
the tech world.</div>

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 4S at their Let’s Talk iPhone
event.<span> </span>It will feature the same
processor as the iPad2 and upgraded ram. To the disappointment of myself and a
lot of tech community Apple did not announce the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4 has
instead been upgraded and redesigned. Apple has done this before, with the
iPhone 3G and then later the 3GS was released so this is nothing new. <span> </span>The Screen is the same size as before
(3.5inch) and features the same high resolution touch screen but has an
upgraded A5-processor. What do you think of the 4S let us know.</div>

Apple has invited the press to an iPhone event in California. It is expected that Apple will announce the iPhone 5 at this event. The event will be hosted by the new C.E.O. of Apple Tim Cook. Others believe that Apple will instead announce the iPhone 4S which will be cheaper than the iPhone 4. In preparation for the launch of a new product Apple have temporarily taken down the online store.

<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /> So, we've kind of reached the stage where a reflective view on 3D films seem suitable, with hindsight on our side. Although the first 3D film was actually released back in 1915 it has been the blockbusters of the 21st Century which have captivated consumers interest in 3D-ism. We've reached an epoch of immense digitalisation and technological advancement, but are 3D films really the pinnacle of this ever-growing industry. Are they Dogs, or even just perhaps a Problem Child?<br />
<br />
<b>No difference at all </b> <br />
A new UK film poll by YouGov has revealed some discouraging statistics. 41% say 3D films are a 'gimmick', with just 19% agreeing that they enhance a film. Furthermore, just under half of the participants said it made no difference at all. Are you shocked yet? To be honest, I'm not either. The poll also gives some interesting opinions concerning the cost of a ticket for a 3D film. If the price of a 3D ticket was the same as a 2D one, the poll suggests that cinema goers would still prefer to watch the traditional format. The survey did suggest that if 3D was possible without the glasses, over 52% of viewers would prefer it to 2D. In conclusion, we prefer no glasses and are not yet prepared to take the risk. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Desirable concept</b><br />
Where does this leave the 3D industry? For one, the creators seem certain its a futuristic and desirable concept, with the introduction of 3D gaming and 3D TV's. With 3D's huge costs to produce ( it is the equivalent of filming something three times) it could be seen as a risk, but premium prices for TV's and cinema tickets seemingly being able to compensate for this. It is an innovative idea and has done well to move away from the 'jump-out-the-screen' picture to a 3D effect which makes it seem like we can see 'around' a person. From my experience, wearing glasses to watch a film is perhaps a step too far. They are irritable and just seem to add an unnecessary screen between you and the film, perhaps the worst thing that could occur when you are trying to immerse yourself in the storyline.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's hard to say where the future lies for 3D. It's a subjective topic which I'm sure has so many people being prescriptive of its purpose. I like it but I just don't love it, or loath it for that matter. Perhaps that's the problem. We should wait some time and see its true capabilities, but it's OK, it's simply OK.<br />
<br />
<br />

What do you think of 3D films? Are you surprised of the statistics from YouGov? What are your experiences? Feel free to comment below or pop me an email. More stuff coming soon.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Friday 23<sup>rd</sup> of September I attended the Euro
Gamer Expo at Earls Court in London. The event was sold out. I was fortunate
enough to have been given a press pass which allowed me early entry to the expo
before it was open to the general public. I didn’t have to queue to get in and there was
a separate entrance for the press. When I was first arrived there were very little queues
for all the booths. I went straight to Olive booth as they were giving away
free Micro Consoles. I queued for about
20 minutes , I got my Onlive console which came with a free issue of PC gamer
magazine and vouchers for a 3 month trial if you’re a BT internet customer
which I am. After that I went to the
AlienWare booth which featured all of the latest AlienWare PC’s and a very difficult driving simulator
which had hydraulics , a gear stick a steering wheel and 3 screens and it was
playable in 3D with Nvidia’s 3D vision technology. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to play Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare
3 as they were in the 18 + area and when I tried to gain access to that area it
was being guarded by security so I couldn’t get in. But I got to play some
awesome games including , Uncharted 3 the sequel to Uncharted 2 Among
Thieves which was awesome I
played the multiplayer mode which was great and highly addictive. I also
played a game called Rage which was made by Bethesda, The mode I played was arena
mode where hoards of enemies were sent after you and you, the aim was to
survive as long as possible, I also played Forza 4 motor sports which was good,
you had about 4 cars to choose from and you could do a 2 lap race, the graphics
were pretty good. Samsung had a booth there where they were displaying many of
the TV’s and Gadgets they were releasing ,I got to have a go on the new Samsung
galaxy tab and I was pretty Impressed , I played fruit ninja on it and the
touch screen was very responsive. There
was a press exclusive room that only people press passes could go in, it had
free WIFI and they provided us with lunch, I felt very amateur compared to
everyone else as they all had broadcast quality cameras and macbooks. One of my friends even over heard someone say
that they worked for IGN.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were several
cos players (people dressed up) and some very hot gamer girls. There were quite a few games I would love to
have seen but the queues for them were just too big, Counter Strike GO’ for
example and Batman Arkham City. My favourite game that I played was defiantly
Uncharted 3 and I am going to pre-order it. I had hope to get round to doing some
interviews with developers but I was just having so much fun that I didn’t get
round to it. Next year I think I will go to more than 1 day as there was so
much I would have liked to see / play but couldn’t. Overall I thoroughly
enjoyed it and am looking forward to next year . You can see all my pictures from this year on my personal <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/pcgamerguy1234/108172889221332">Facebook fan page</a>.</div>

“I am very sad
to tell you that I’ve just been fired over the phone by Yahoo’s Chairman of the
Board”. These were the last words from Carol Bartz, the 62-year-old former CEO
of Yahoo. The email, sent on Tuesday, saw her sacked after a “lack of a
turnaround for the business”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
1 Billion US dollars. Enough to
buy infinite Yahoo memberships, as free as they are. It seems that is all Yahoo
is renowned for now; many email accounts and abnormal bulletins on the
homepage. Yahoo had a revenue of $1 Billion last year, and was still described
as being “largely flat in recent years” by The Wall Street Journal. Carol Bartz
was therefore sacked on Tuesday (6/09/11) after two and a half years as CEO of
the once market-leading company of the dot-com generation. So, why? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b>Stock increase</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Bartz had one year left on her
contract so the decision to dismiss her now seems to suggest change was needed
immediately. In fact, the day after her departure saw Yahoo’s stock close with
an increase of 5.4% the next day. Optimism is on the rise again it seems,
almost rather embarrassingly, as soon as Bartz was deemed unfit for her duties.
Does it come has a surprise? If you look on Yahoo, or have followed its
existence, you’d know that it hasn’t changed too much. From being the no.1
search engine at the beginning of the last decade it has, in recent years, lost
ground to Google and been slightly damaged by the surge of Facebook. In fact,
the number of visits onto the site from U.S viewers has dropped by 33% since
Carol Bartz arrived. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
However, Ms. Bartz must have some
credit. She overhauled the organisational structure to make it more
decentralised and challenged the efficiency of the business. Unfortunately, her
response to a reporter back in 2010 seems rather ironic nowadays. </div>
<blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Reporter: Why isn’t Yahoo as hot
as Facebook?</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Bartz: Remind me, what’s their
revenue?</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b>Where now? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Yahoo is to now focus on organic
growth. Organic growth is growth which is achieved ‘naturally’, usually from
sales, and not from external sources such as mergers or acquisitions. It needs
to think of innovative ways to regain its market position, with the stand-in
interim CEO Tim Morse given the go-ahead to steer the turn-around. Expect in
the very near future features from Yahoo to engage the late teens/young adult
demographic which Facebook has done so well to draw in. Hotmail might be an
example of such developments with its unlimited storage capacity and
connections with MSN messenger. Or maybe this really is the beginning of the
end of Yahoo, with competition becoming increasingly competitive. It’s safe to
say, Yahoo’s dominance is now over and the expulsion of their CEO seems to
indicate they feel the same way. This is a new beginning for Yahoo and new
possibilities for the market. Watch this space. </div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning I woke up and did what I do every morning, I
checked Facebook but this morning was different, Facebook have changed the
layout of the site. This has caused quite uproar among users of the site, my
news feed was filled with status’s about how people didn’t like the new layout.
<span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instead of Facebook having the recent posts and the top
posts on separate pages they are now all on one page, the home page is a mess
of posts from earlier today and recent posts making it impossible to see anyone’s
new posts. Facebook also added a new ticker feature which is very annoying and
distracting but if you’re on Google chrome there are various web add-on’s that
remove the ticker and they actually work to. <span> </span>Many Facebook users are now turning to Google +
which was made available to the public today. I am not going to delete my Facebook
account but I will be using it a lot less and favouring Google +. What do you
think about the new Facebook layout? Leave a comment be low.</div>
