The Launch of the new iPhone, rumours of a smaller iPad and a better Apple Tv has boosted the stock in recent weeks to make Apple the most Valuable company of all!
PWe've all been eagerly waiting for the release of Apple's new computer. It was first rumored that they were going to start the sale from December 16th. But since that did not happen, we were expecting it in the last week of the month, after Christmas. But guess what? You can now get your Christmas present right in time! Apple has confirmed that the new Mac Pro will go on sale from tomorrow, starting at $3,000. For that, you'll get a 3.7GHz quad-core Xeon CPU ("with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.9 GHz"), 12GB DRAM, two AMD FirePro D300 GPUs, and a 256GB ssd. You will be able to pick this up online not Apple's website. However, we are not yet sure if it will be available at the retail stores. Stay tuned for more updates.
The much awaited Instagram application for the windows phone platform has finally been released a couple of days ago. Now, I wanted to use the app for a couple of days before writing this review so as to find out any bugs or errors in the app, which I did.
Comparing the new app for windows witht the ones on iOS or Android, you can see that the UI is much different. Instead of having the four tabs down below, we have them at the top near the Instagram logo. Now having these tabs at the top dosent leave the bottom empty. At the bottom is three options- capture, search and refresh. In addition tothese three, you can also pull up settings option from the bottom which then leads to the settings menu. If you haven't noticed, in the iOS or android app, the Instagram logo would disappear once you start scrolling, which doesn't happen in the app for windows. Now the downsides to this is that it reduces the screen real estate. However, the pap runs smoothly without any lag.
One of the popular third party application, approved by Instagram, is 6tag on the windows phone platform. In then new Instagram app, capture option leads directly to the gallery from where we can chose to 'take a photo' which then leads to your standard camera application. In 6tag, capture option leads you the inbuilt camera with all the filters and what not, with the grid option, flash,etc. Now that would be the only reason I would switch to 6tag instead of the new. App.
However, Instagram has to improve upon their new app for windows phone with the increasing users not only on Instagram but windows phone 8 as well! Let's wait and see.
Hey there!
How you all doing? In this post, I'm gonna be telling you about my first impression on the Micromax Funbook!
So yeah, 7 inch tablet's have been floating around for a while now, and god knows if the iPad mini will ever come out! So I went out, to see this tablet from Micromax! And after going through all the specs, I saw the price tag. Rs.6500/- And I was like, wow! All this for 6500? But then, it can't be ALL good! Well then, I still bought it. Cause I've never had an Android device for myself. So first of all, talking about the built quality, I wasn't surprised to see the bad build quality of the device, since it was indian made! Lol Jk. But honestly, the buttons are all creaky, and they don't respond well! Would've much appreciated it if it had touch sensitive buttons. Getting into the device, the micromax funbook runs on Android 4.0.3, Ice cream sandwich. Really don't know if there'll be a Jelly Bean update for it! So looking at the Stock ROM, I really didn't like it! Lol There were a lot of unwanted stuff that micromax put into the tablet. Like eLearning, Movies, LiveTv and stuff like that, but none of them worked for me. Neither did I try properly! Deep into the operating system, I'm really not an Android fan! Lol After using iOS all these years, I found it difficult to navigate through the device.. So I then, made this video to show you the inbuilt apps in it and some features, so that you can see for yourself!
Well, my first impression is that "okay, you get all you want for the price you paid!Can't ask for more" :) Hope you enjoyed reading this post! Also, Hope you enjoyed that video down below! please do subscribe to my YouTube Channel, cause that's were I do most of my tech-related stuff, than blogs.

As you all know, Apple's WWDC 2012 is this monday, and everyone just can't wait for it! You must be so excited like I am! Lol. So, Apple will probably be releasing a new version of their OS. The iOS 6. And this will have a whole new set of features and I'd like to tell you what to expect in it! :)
First of all, the UI theme will be changes a bit on the basis of colors. From blue and blue stripes, to silver, much like the iPad. This is a cleaner look, fitting completely with Apple’s mantra of getting the hell out of the way and let the content and apps do the talking.
Second, a major improvement by Apple. 3D Maps :D Google is out now. Apple will have created a new Maps app and it will be in 3D.
Automatic app updates! I believe this is finally coming in iOS 6. :D
An iCloud keychain that syncs with your iOS devices and your Mac computers
Cloud tabs to let you open any tabs you have open on your desktop browser in the iOS browser.
Facebook integration at the OS-level, just like Twitter — post photos and videos to Facebook, possibly check in as well.
Location-based profiles/actions. This is a little bit of a stretch, but with Apple’s use of geofencing, I don’t think this is an impossibility. I would scream to have my phone customize different settings like ringers, Bluetooth and more based on my location. Apple may also add a notification silencing feature that is location and/or time-based.
Siri for iPad.
Expanded Siri functions, possibly including API access for third-party developers. This is a big challenge, but it should come sooner or later.
AirPlay: 1080p mirroring.
Live app icons. If Apple isn’t going to do widgets (though the company still may, at some point), a less resource-intensive way of showing updates on the home screen could come in the form of customizable icons or live app icons.
Inter-app communication — this would finally solve the issue of apps not being able to share data with each other. It would still be sandboxed, but would solve a bunch of headaches that make iOS in some ways still feel like amobileOS, and not just an OS.
Unified omnibox in the browser for URL and search.
New multitouch gestures, possibly two finger swiping.
Improved multitasking interface and UI.
Widgets in notification center (another possible compromise between home screen widgets and nothing new on this front).
Improved email, maybe even multiple signatures, with a default for each account?
