Fire Alarms Systems

For developers and device manufacturers, life is like living in a desert at night: you need to find a fire where you can get some support. Will they find the offers promised by Microsoft and Google?

If I want to imagine what life for application developers and ODM (original equipment manufacturers, companies like Asus, Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, etc. that make tablets and personal computers and smartphones) just, imagine yourself in a desert at night. Right next to you is a great fire, whose owners offer large amounts of food and water - but only for developers

Just over two fires that the poorest other great, but after spraying, and offering only limited quantities for developers and the MDGs, the combustion of a stronger, but fragmentation rations. And the last is a big guy standing next to him that sometimes takes away from their rations, if you are too.

lights are

market IOS (iPad and iPhone), the PC market and the Android phone market. The iPhone market is great if you're a developer, OK, if you need some rituals for brochures, but it's good when it's good. For MDGs, despite (and lots of developers), the iPad does not support.

The PC market, however, has a long history, but it is more - there are indeed strong signature that goes in the opposite direction as tablets become a larger part of our lives - and for the MDGs, the cultures are slim unless you sell in large quantities in the Far East, especially China, (like Lenovo). For HP's PC division is at least profitable, Dell is simply not the money of the consumer market (limited to the sale of PC). And Android phones are big business - if you're Samsung. For Sony, Motorola, LG .. is terrible. And developers, while increasing, they are swimming in money.

And now, in this scenario, Microsoft and Google have published two flaming arrows into the air. Their hope: that they will launch two new fire to compete with the iPhone. However, the risk is they will do exactly the same thing -. The MDGs and sustainable developers

space: when the earth will reach

the first surface. What is really strange about this device is that, even while Microsoft talked about Windows 8 and metro interface and the format of "slate", but went ahead and rush to launch this type of product.

the press conference was a running surface is evident from the secrecy and lack of preparation. Mutiple sources around Microsoft UK said they had no idea beforehand what was going on. The four-day notice was very short, but the headquarters of Microsoft, but there seems to be the strategy obtained discovered.

There were no prices, no dates, minimum requirements, and what seems to have dribbled, is that the surface be WiFi only, without 3G. (This last point will become more popular with businesses, employers really like the iPhone 3G connectivity when away from home, even if it simplifies the software.)

Above all, the company is known for its software did not show worthy of the name of the software running on your machine. After the press conference, there was very little time to use them later, nobody seems to have used the keyboard with a plastic screen in real time at any point. (I asked people who use assistive devices to the press conference, and yes, I saw the report by Danny Sullivan is not quite correct on all points -. From my understanding of it - but it's just that nobody came to deal adequately covers the keyboard to do any amount of writing.)

Enter

Sullivan is telling, however. This is a key element, which shows a picture of hands holding a surface:

This is not a journalist into the surface. It is one of the guys at Microsoft. They had their turn around a pretty picture on the front, I guess we were going "ooh" and "ahh". If we were lucky, we were allowed to keep a few seconds. But if you tried to do something with it, an explosion, it was gone.

Believe me, I know. I tried. I had always heard everyone screaming on Twitter about how someone at Microsoft said that the screen resolution was. Since I am a super-secret, I thought I'll try to find out.

After asking several times if I could have a

- I felt like a child of seven years, "please, I may have, please, I can test, would you mind if I try "- one of the guys from Microsoft gave me a shot. He brought to the home screen by pressing the Windows button on the front of the shelf , office hit to reach the Windows desktop 8, has an estimated time of release, which will open the setting screen resolution and so - and in that time, the unit is literally pulled out of my hands.

Why

a software company to show its big bet on a form factor of the new material that has not had any impact, however, show no software?

So developers are rushing to follow the arrow on the fire? Not so far. I do not know when or where it will land. They're kind of hoping to advance the MDGs, because wherever they go often means not to have reconstruction. The MDGs, of course, think the same of developers who find themselves with a behavior that looks like a flock: one is the leader, but everyone knows what to do - follow the leader.

Anyway, I do not expect anything until October. The arrow of fire is still in the air and as a result of the earth. Microsoft is hoping hope that developers are starting to run after him. The problem is that there seems to be. On Wednesday, I attended a two-hour presentation of Windows 8 at TechEd 2012 in Amsterdam, after Barry Collins of PC Pro Magazine murmured: "Well, it was a demonstration of eight applications we've seen before" . What was true: there was only one thing in terms of applications that had not been there in the composition. There is nothing new at all. And that fact alone indicates that developers do not move very quickly after the flaming arrow 0 or even other shots in the air before Windows 8.

Nexus: uniting the son of tablets
Now arrow next to the call: Google Nexus 7, manufactured by Asus as a showcase for the ambitions of the tablet by Google. While a bitter pill for the mobility of Motorola, which was favored by the first version of Honeycomb, also known as Android 3.0, in January 2011 - remember everyone's favorite iPhone-killer, the Xoom? - But Google seems serious. Andy Rubin, Android chief, told AllThingsD that analyzes the market in mid-2011 and realized that for consumers (who were the main market), what mattered was the content (eg music and applications and video.)

Zynga Unleashed for the second annual meeting on Tuesday to its ultra-modern office in San Francisco, the company unveiled Zynga with friends, a social gaming network designed to connect to other players of Zynga, if you are playing on Facebook , or smartphone over the web.

The company has also developed a back-end infrastructure for unified, all titles of current and future may be able to take advantage.

Similarly, the mobile division of the company also announced a new program partners. This gives developers the opportunity to work with smartphone Zynga, the availability of their games through their network of friends and directly to its 22 million active players daily mobile.

revenues will be shared between the studio and Zynga, with the final offer of advertising and infrastructure analysis. Several small studies have already signed up to offer their games through the partnership program, including two British teams:. Crashlab Pradesh Fat

The idea behind the concept is simple partners. Zynga is willing to enter into new genres and wants to create a broader ecosystem around their outlets the most important games. It is hoped to attract mobile developers who have experience in the areas of internal company studies have not explored.

"We are very pleased to genera that are not currently in," said Rob Dyer, director of the partner, who previously worked for the publisher on the relationship of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

"This means that sports, first person shooters, strategy games, role play hardcore ... this is what makes us really happy."

To emphasize this, a title associated with the event announced at Zynga Horn broke, a 3D action RPG Match Game Studios.

Dyer was sincere in his response to questions about Zynga less than favorable reputation in community development. The company was accused of concepts of cloning efficiency and recognize the ideas "inspired" by the developers of small size.

"We are considered Zynga fierce," he said. "People look at us and they fear that their ideas are torn But Zynga went and hired people like me - .. I found a third Sony

"I understand that if we do nothing about it, going out of business. I live in a different building from the rest of Zynga to maintain this separation. We take very seriously."

Much of this new service is an evolution towards a more "hardcore" elements that veteran players are accustomed to services such as PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Arrival Wednesday to Facebook, and supervised by the key designer Mark Skaggs Zynga, the City is essentially the answer Zynga The Sims, a house-building simulation series, allowing participants to design homes dream and then invite your friends around.

door after all the kicking, screaming, blindfire, throwing grenades and management of the turret, always a soldier away from the battle alive with a strong moral compass intact. This last detail is the most diverse out of reality that modern military shooters do.

While we like to glorify the soldiers in our entertainment, it is impossible to see beyond the figure that the murder on the psyche of a person in real life. To say the least, the virtual soldiers seem to have a special ability to ignore the psychological weight as easily as a shot in the shin.

A soldier is nothing without the commands and controls are simple: Infiltrate in Dubai to ensure recognition at fault Colonel John Konrad and his team, the damned 33. By the time Captain Walker Martin and his two soldiers, Lugo and Adams arrives, these commands are of little importance. modern paradise of Dubai has been devastated by dust storms, encourage chaos in the streets below. At this point, Walker thinks it's a rescue mission, not a reconnaissance mission. This is the last command will give your team, but it is certainly the most harmless.

• The major changes include improved matchmaking, and ally AI improved (if that even a fool like nails on board AI). Weapons handling has also been changed, with "a better lens / precision fire", but details are not exactly what was separated in the parameters involved. Thurs wise, you can now pick up objects at runtime and shelter immediately after a dive.

annual E3 Sony press conference starts tomorrow night, a full day before E3 2012. I expect a huge lot of advertisements in software and hardware fronts, but what I really think that for some support for its latest console, the PlayStation Vita. This is sort of a fact at this point reached in its E3 first time after system start with some announcements of key franchises, but this is Sony we're talking about. Remember that the PSP? Yes

PlayStation

Vita has more potential than any other game system released in recent memory, with its powerful hardware and connectivity. But the potential is not a game system to success. Goodwill Games, however. Of course, the launch line-up was good, but what about for months after? I started to have memories of the beginning and after the drought of the PSP shortly after the charms of the throwing line dissipated. Those that still exist, unfortunately, the software support has been low since then.

And not just the games I've been worrying about Sony's pocket. We're still losing a lot of features that are likely to have at launch, and there are still plenty of untapped potential beyond them.

know I blogged a list of desires in some way will not change magically Sony's plans for tomorrow, but I wanted to get off my chest anyway. We hope you will read them and make your own noise. La Vita is very nice for a system to be scrapped in the closet, we do our best to be heard

Where are the games?

Although the launch is considered relatively strong, things were not as great since. Not bad, of course. However, the key franchises are not included. Genera keys have not been presented. Where is the support of others for Vita? Hell, where is the rest of the help of the first part of Vita?

I can see the smile on the face of the Sony rep at the moment. I was an "oh, just wait until tomorrow." Yes, I'm sure there will be ads Vita at a press conference. It

LittleBigPlanet

Vita , which is great, but we already knew. Probably we will have a confirmation on the PlayStation All-Stars fought as a title of Vita, with cross-platform dinner as a bonus. I bet that

get a little love, too. Beyond this, one third of stuff like

Call of Duty

Assassin's Creed

may seem like a joke, and could have a reminder on titles such as

Final Fantasy X

. Expect one of those crazy video editing exercises Sony cuts super fast images and logos of the game franchise in their eyes. But it will be like 6 songs over and over again .

Is that enough for you, the early adopters? Those alone are as big as this would be enough ... for me not to trade in my Vita yet. I need more of a commitment, especially these days where mobile / portable gaming is a lifestyle, and are downloadable games

all

. A $ 250 laptop and felt a little ridiculous. It even feels a little less now.

• What about backward compatibility?
• feel anger builds up inside of me whenever lack of support in the PSOne Vita crosses my mind. I'm not kidding, I clench my teeth, take a deep breath and look away with murderous intent. This is bullshit, Sony. We played with this feature since the beginning, but the game PSOne is not yet compatible. Is it not a priority for you? We have heard that it is "very soon", but I'm tired of waiting. I could have played
• UmJammer Lammy
• today!
A key point in the huge list of potential pros Vita is that you can download, play and contain all your favorite games. Maybe I'm spoiled having my Vita, PSP and PS minis games in my system now, but I can not help but think that Vita is incomplete without access to the vast library of classic PlayStation fantastic rear. These are the games that many of us happily paid for the second time, and I still enjoy it on my PS3 and PSP. Vita would be perfect on your big screen and dual analog sticks, but we still have the situation in which we move through our list of downloads to find this message is not compatible with all PSOne games.

Sony, if you do not post PSOne backward compatibility morning, I'll throw my shit Vita at the scene and then I'll put a booger on all screens of all PlayStation products in the floor of the lounge E3.

I was a little worried about the compatibility of the PSP from the beginning that not all of the library was supported initially. They seem to work on this issue, but apparently not done. Please finish.
