The Official Yahoo! Weather App Now Available for iPhone

Not much has been heard from Yahoo! In the past few years. In fact, the company all but lost every single internet and technology based battle they were once involved in with Google. They have made it their goal and their dying effort to recreate some sort of success in technology and they have been coming back hitting hard this year. They just released a new official Yahoo! Weather app which looks to be quite an improvement over the native Apple Weather app.

Weather apps aren’t really the most complex things out there. They tell you the weather, and within a certain amount of fluctuation allow you to customize things such as hourly, 5-day forecast, and weekly forecasts. Besides that there really isn’t much to them. Yahoo!’s new weather app does all of that for the iPhone very well. The user interface is great and allows anyone who has never used it before to navigate through it perfectly well.

The other benefit to this weather app is that it actually allows sync with Flickr photos, since Flickr and Yahoo! Are linked. This means in any town or city you are looking at the weather for, a Flickr photo of that same place could very well be the background to the weather information you’re reading up on. This neat little combination of photography and technology is a welcome change to the drab graphics and icons of weather apps currently.

If you’re looking for a better weather experience on your iPhone definitely give Yahoo! Weather a look. It’s a great app and allows you to make the absolute most of a pleasant weather experience. It is simple and easy to use, and if you’re like me you’ll find your native Apple Weather app to be all but replaced.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Official Release and Availability Announced

The months of speculation are finally over and the official release of the Galaxy S4 is here. Samsung themselves have released details about their newest top of the line device which will be available on all major network carriers. Although not giving a specific date, the “late April” claim is all we really have to go on. This may not suit some die hard fans who want to mark their calendars, but it’s the best we’ve got.

The price points are another big question which have been left out. Many fans are wondering if the price will be low enough to justify switching devices before their contract periods allow for discounts or not. The mobile carriers have been following suit and releasing their own announcements about getting their customers in line to preorder the new S4.

Although not entirely confirmed or for sure yet, two sources have credited T-Mobile and Sprint with spilling the beans a little early with release dates and prices for their specific networks. T-Mobile will offer the device starting April 24th and for $149.99 with new two year contract. Sprint will offer the S4 starting Arpil 27th and preorders opening tomorrow. The price for the S4 on Sprint will be $249.99, but offers an instant $100 credit towards the price if switching from another carrier.

Gameloft Releases Dungeon Hunter 4 in the Google Play Store

Dungeon Hunter is one of the most downloaded and highest rated games in the world of mobile Android gaming. The Dungeon Hunter franchise is one that has been faithfully growing with its extensive fan base over the years. The newest addition to this series, Dungeon Hunter 4 is now available in the Google Play store for old fans or new players alike.

The graphics in this game are nothing short of impressive. It’s one of those types of games you’d figure would really need a strong CPU or a more powerful than a mobile processor to get the full gameplay, but that’s not the case at all. If you’re a fan of RPGs and games with long, detailed plot lines and characters, then this is the kind for you.

There is a very well built and put together single player campaign mode, and an amazing multiplayer and co-op format to the game. All of these together create an amazing sense of teamwork and camaraderie whether battling alongside CPUs or with your friends.

Dungeon Hunter 4 has been receiving amazing reviews sine it has been released and the most complaints aren’t about the gameplay or the features, but about in app purchases. As with many massive multiplayers, there are options for purchasing tools and weapons outside of the app, to help your characters, and apparently there have been a few issues with this. Other than that it is a great app and one of the best mobile RPGs available.

Google Keep in an Always-On-Top Chrome Panel or a Simple Popup

Google Keep launched last month and the Evernote-esque note taking service for Google has already garnered a large following which grows each day. Just as when Google Drive launched, third party developers beat Google themselves in the race to make accompanying extensions for these services. Now, there is an extension for Google Chrome which allows Keep to function at its peak.

When taking notes on a computer one of the last things you want to have to continuously do is switch from window to window and tab to tab. Seeing both the content and the page of notes is vital to getting the most seamless note taking or reference jotting experience. Although there are ways to do this with two separate windows and drag and dropping one over the other, the bottom line is that it gets clunky and disorganized.

The Google Keep extension works through a function called “panels” which is an experimental feature that needs to be enabled for this to work. With Panels, you can have a portion of the browser set aside and devoted to keeping notes at all times. The Panel will always stay on the top of the other windows or tabs. If you don’t want this all powerful Panel masking a large portion of the window, you can also choose to open up Keep in a pop-up window or a new tab as well.

Although there are a few features that would have been nice to see with the Google Keep extension such as right click text editing for immediate saving and input, the overall extension works very well and is the first of its kind. So, although there may be creases to be ironed out, the effort was great and the ability to take notes in a more organized and efficient manner is certainly accomplished.
