Wordeo video messaging app launched with Getty support
Wordeo has launched as a new video messaging app, the first to offer full access to Getty stock footage.

Read more »
The new app blends an assortment of short 2-second video clips with your own written message, to “bring your words to life”.

Basically, the Wordeo app aims to enable you to create your own video messages easy and simply, without having to put in a lot of effort.
You write the message you wish to send and then Wordeo brings in video associated to each of those words. Appropriate words get their own 2-second video clip to illustrate your point.
Once you’ve written your message, you tap next to see a preview of your video message with pre-chosen video content. Here you can change the background music according to your mood, and scroll through some of the Getty footage tied to each word.
It’s very easy to use, scrolling down for more 2-second clips or up to add your own video footage from your iPhone’s camera roll. You can also shoot your video footage from within the Wordeo app. Swiping to the left or right changes the word you’re currently tweaking.
You can complete a Wordeo in under a minute, depending on how much time you spend tweaking the videos, font and music of your Wordeo video message.
It might seem like a mismatch of other apps like Vine, Instagram and Twitter, but we were pretty impressed with the end results.
The Wordeo creators are pretty impressive themselves, with the CEO David Bailey an ex-Apple executive and the CTO Bob Johnson responsible for building the back-end of the BBC iPlayer.
“Getty has been a partner in the [Wordeo] idea from the beginning. For them to let someone use their content in this way is completely revolutionary. They broke new ground with us on that”, explained Bailey to TrustedReviews. “That’s what we think is one of the things that makes us unique versus the other video messaging, content creation-type apps.”
Each video message can last up to 30 seconds, and you’ll see a green bar filling up as you write your message, letting you know how much more you can type.
As with Instagram and other apps, you can follow other Wordeo users and browse a constantly updated “Popular” feed. You can share your Wordeo creations on Twitter and Facebook too.
The London based company launched the free app today, January 14 for iOS only at first. There’s a dedicated iPad Wordeo app on the way, as well as an Android version in the future.
Google Nexus 5 made official with Android 4 4 KitKat in tow
The Google Nexus 5 has been officially unveiled following months of rumours and leaks, with the flagship phone becoming the first to run the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

Set to go head-to-head with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S, the Google Nexus 5 will be manufactured by LG, and boast the same 2.26GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor as the Korean company’s own LG G2 handset.
Google Nexus 5 Features
A worthy follow-on to last year’s Google Nexus 4, the newly confirmed Google Nexus 5 features list is brimmed with high-end components.
Lining up alongside the 2.26GHz quad-core processor, the phone will sport a 4.95-inch 1920 x 1080p Full HD, up on the 4.7-inch HD panel on its predecessor. Set to offering stunning visuals, the Full HD display is further enhanced by a 445 pixels-per-inch image density. Providing some added protection, the phone will feature a handy Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
Although on paper the 8-megapixel Google Nexus 5 camera might look like a weak spot when compared with the 13-megapixel offerings on some of its rivals, the integrated snapper is set to benefit from optical image stabilisation options to boost image output. A secondary, 1.3-megapixel camera is included on the phone’s fore for shameless selfies and video calling.
Playing host to the now customary array of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC connectivity options, the Google Nexus 5, unlike the 4 before it will also play host to 4G networking options. Powered by a 2300mAh Lithium-Polymer battery, the phone’s battery life should see you through a full day’s use although this is again down on the 3000mAh offering found on the LG G2.
Lining up at just 130g in weight and a mere 8.59mm thick, the Google Nexus 5 certainly looks the part, with the phone set to be made available in both 16GB and 32GB storage options.
With 2GB of RAM on board, the Google Nexus 5 specs sheet is rounded off by Adreno 330 graphics and the new Android 4.4 KitKat OS, a software package which will introduce cloud based backups alongside a range of other additions.
Google Nexus 5 Release Date and Price
Now that the phone is official, Google looks keen to get the Nexus 5 out to consumers. As such the Google Nexus 5 release date has been set for tomorrow, November 1, with the phone to hit the UK and US simultaneously.
In keeping with the company’s desire to offer high-end products at a reasonable cost, the Google Nexus 5 is nice and friendly on your wallet. The 16GB model will set wannabe owners back £295.
Share files between Android and Windows with ES File Explorer
There was a time when the only way you could share files between your Android device and a Windows computer was by using a USB cable. These days, there are wireless options available that make it easier to share files. One such option is ES File Explorer, a powerful Android file manager. ES File Explorer helps you manage the files on your local Android device. Starting with version 3, however, LAN support was added to make it possible to share files with a Windows PC over Wi-Fi. To share files between your Android device and a Windows PC using ES File Explorer, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Create a shared folder on your Windows PC. In our example, well name it, "Android PC share." Make sure the permissions are set for read/write access.
Step 2: In ES File Explorer on your Android device, tap the globe icon in the upper-left hand corner, then navigate to Network > LAN.

Step 3: On the menu at the bottom, tap "Search" to look for available network shares on your LAN. If you dont see any, make sure that your Android device and the Windows computer are connected to the same local network and try again. If successful, you should see your Windows computer listed with its IP address.

Step 4: Tap on the icon for your Windows PC, then enter your Windows username and password.

Step 5: After your shared folder appears, you can begin sharing files back and forth using ES File Explorer.

ES File Explorer isnt the only way to share files over Wi-Fi, but its a popular utility that youre likely to have on your Android device anyway, so youd might as well give it a try.

Apple met with the FDA reportedly readying Healthbook for iOS 8
Later this year, iOS 8 could give new meaning to the phrase "an Apple a day keeps the doctor away," as the iPhone maker is reportedly focusing on health tracking technology.

Apple executives met with directors of the US Food and Drug Administration to discuss mobile medical applications last month, The New York Times discovered in the FDAs public calendar.
The talks involved high-level Apple employees, including Jeff Williams, senior vice president of operations, Bud Tribble, vice president of software technology, and Michael OReilly, a medical doctor in Apples government affairs department.
The FDA meeting details havent been disclosed, but combined with a report today about iOS 8, it suggests that Apple is going all-in with health monitoring in its next iOS update.
Healthbook is supposed to be a pre-installed iOS 8 app that monitors and stores fitness metrics, according to unnamed sources who spoke to 9to5Mac.
Its interface is said to match Passbook, but instead of accumulating digital tickets and coupons, it calculates steps taken, calories burned, miles walked and weight loss.
These are pretty standard stat-tracking features that can be obtained from current wearables like the NikeFuel Band SE and Fitbit Force.
The Healthbook report contains a "one more thing" style surprise when you factor in the unconfirmed iWatch, which is said to enhance this software with vital signs the iPhone is incapable of tracking.
Blood pressure, hydration levels, heart rate, and possibly glucose levels are additional metrics that could be introduced, according to 9to5Macs sources.
Were not sure how wearable can keep track of hydration outside of a user manually logging every drink consumed, but when it comes to glucose levels, Google found a way in its smart lens prototype.
Logging medication information is said to initiate helpful pill-taking reminders at scheduled times, a feature that could tie into the existing iOS 7 Reminders app.
Apples first foray into health monitoring came last year when it introduced iPhone 5S and its M7 coprocessor that could keep track of steps.
The company showed how Nike was integrating its Nike Fuel metric into the new phone and Fitbit has since expanded its app to use the M7 processor to log steps walked even without a Fitbit tracker.
Itll be interesting to see if Apple works with or against Nike in realizing its health monitoring ambitions.
Apple CEO Tim Cook is still on the sneaker companys board and Apple snagged at least Nike employee last year.
Either way, this blip on Apples radar last year could become the highlight of iOS 8 this fall if development of Healthbook gets into shape and joins the rumored iPhone 6 and iWatch in time.

Nexus 5 leaks in a big way with photos Kitkat details and more
The Google Nexus 5 is on its way - possibly today - and weve been treated to a host of leaked images and Android 4.4 details to whet our appetites.

It looks as though several people around the world have got their hands on pre-release Nexus 5 handsets, with one enterprising self-starter taking to Reddit to do an AMA about it.
He described the handset for his eager audience: "[The handset] doesnt feel cheap like a Samsung device, feels great in the hand, its similar to holding a G2 but no volume controls [on the back]."
He also claimed to be "99% certain" that the pricing would start at $349. Thats about £220 or AU$370.
And the question on everybodys lips: what does the Nexus 5 taste like? "Fresh plastic mixed with finger sweat."
As for KitKat, it sounds as though therell be some kind of cloud-based backup option and voice control.
Not long to wait until we find out weve been had: were expecting the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 to launch later on today.

LG tipped to equip all 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners

According to a new rumour, LG will not only fit the LG G3 with a fingerprint scanner, but other high-end devices too. LG tipped to equip all 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners

LG could equip all its 2014 flagships with fingerprint scanners, if the latest information is accurate.
According to a new rumour, LG will not only fit the LG G3 with a fingerprint scanner, but other high-end devices too.
A report from the Korean site, ETNews has suggested the LG G3 and the LG G Pro 2 will feature fingerprint scanners similar to that of the iPhone 5S.
Other devices like the HTC One Max have implemented fingerprint scanners, but they haven’t been quite as successful, accurate or well-placed as Apple’s Touch ID sensor embedded in the iPhone 5S home button.
We wonder whether LG will choose to embed the fingerprint sensor within the rear buttons introduced with the LG G2.
“Rather than to simply apply fingerprint recognition functionality, it is important to improve security and user convenience at the same time,” said the LG Electronics insider. “We will give prominence to our functional differentiations in order not to suffer the disgrace of being called a mimicker to follow what the competitors do.”
The insider suggests LG will apply fingerprint sensors to “four – five premium models including the two this year”.
LG will have to compete with the fingerprint sensor technology potentially included with the Samsung Galaxy S5 as well as whatever Apple pulls out of the bag with the iPhone 6.
The latest rumour is that the Galaxy S5 will feature a fingerprint sensor under the screen.
“To improve its presence in the premium smartphone market, LG Electronics needs to apply innovative functions, such as optical image stabilising (OIS), fingerprint recognition, to its smartphones ahead of its competitors,” said a stock market analyst. “Attention is drawn to how LG Electronics will use fingerprint recognition functionality, which has become rather stale, in differentiating its products.”

Skype boosts iOS app with unlimited free video messages
Microsoft-owned VoIP app Skype has updated its wares for iOS users, allowing them to send unlimited free video messages to fellow users.

The newly-tuned app lifts restrictions on video clips, which had previously limited users to just 20 free videos a month unless they upgraded to the $4.99 Skype Premium subscription.
The update comes just over a week after Skype announced it would be making video messages completely free on all platforms.
In a blog post at the time the company said: "Video messaging is now available to all Skype users. You can send and receive as many video messages as you want – completely free of charge. Video messages can be received and viewed on any platform or device running Skype."
The functionality allows users to send video messages up to three minutes in length from Skypes smartphone, tablets and Windows and Mac apps.
Its proved popular for those wishing to send personal video messages quickly and easily, while its also a good alternative if users are unable to make contact when attempting to make a live voice and video call.
As well as some general fixes and improvements, the app also improves video and audio call stability and brings more reliable photo sharing.
Earlier this month the company had rolled out the video message feature, which first appeared for iOS, Android and Mac users in February, to BlackBerry, Windows 8 and Windows desktop users.
Strangely, considering Microsoft owns the company, the feature is yet to hit Windows Phone.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to come with four variants
Samsung will reportedly launch the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with four different model options suitable for all price ranges.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is tipped for a launch with four different price tags, with the specs adjusted according to each price range from top-tier to budget.
The information comes from Korean news site ETNews, which details the vague specs of each level of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
It is not known yet whether each device will have a slightly different name, but for now it seems that they will all fall under the umbrella of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 name.
Each device will retain the same processor – likely to be the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, both with an unusual 3GB of RAM – and a huge 5.7-inch display.
The most expensive Galaxy Note 3 will supposedly come with a shatterproof AMOLED display and be made from unknown “high-quality materials”, moving away from the plastic body of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The high-end option could also pack a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera.
Moving down a tier, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will retain the 13-megapixel rear camera but only have a regular AMOLED screen.
The third most expensive option will revert to an LCD display with that 13-megapixel camera, while the cheapest model will only have an 8-megapixel rear camera and an LCD screen.
All three of the lower models will lose the “high-quality” body in favour of the plastic bodies seen on the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 and other smartphones in the Samsung Galaxy range.
Previous rumours suggest the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be vastly thinner than the 9.4mm Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at 8mm thick.
We should see that 5.7-inch display pack Full 1080p HD resolutions as well, aside from its LCD or AMOLED status.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is strongly tipped to make an appearance on the eve of the Berlin-based IFA conference in September.

Apple celebrates 5 years of iOS App Store with free apps and games
A number of top iOS apps and games have seen their prices slashed to zero, coinciding with the App Stores fifth birthday.

While Apple hasnt made any official announcement yet, its clear that some special celebrations are in store to mark the iOS App Store hitting five this week.
To kick things off, some apps and games have already been made free to download. These are some premium offerings, too.
On the games front, the likes of Tiny Wings (both the iPhone and iPad versions), Infinity Blade II, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Wheres My Water? and Badland can all be picked up for nothing.
The Unreal Engine-powered Infinity Blade II in particular is a bit of a steal, as it usually costs £4.99. Badland formerly cost £2.49.
When it comes to apps, there are some even more generous offers. Traktor DJ, an acclaimed pro music mixing app, normally costs £13.99, but is now free.
Day One, a polished journal app; Over, which lets you overlay your photos with professional-looking text; and Barefoot World Atlas, an interactive 3D globe for kids, have also gone free.
None of these apps or games have any blurb to explain the price drop, but wed bet anything that Apple will announce something later this week - possibly on Wednesday, which will mark five years to the day since the iOS App Store first came online.

HTC One 2 passes through FCC with familiar specs
The HTC One 2 or the All New HTC One has just passed through the FCC with a familiar set of specs.

Following a wealth of leaks surrounding HTC’s upcoming flagship, the device has been spotted passing through the FFC ahead of its March 25 unveiling.
The mandatory FFC approval process comes with a sketched outlined design of the HTC One 2 that matches previously leaked press renders of the phone with its soft curve corners.
There’s nothing surprising about the FFC listing, with the phone said to feature a 5-inch full 1080p HD display running on a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM.
It will also arrive with a dual-sensor Ultrapixel rear camera offering around a 5-megapixel Ultrapixel resolution.
This is expected to help depth of field, image quality and focusing abilities over the existing HTC One’s rear camera.
The FCC filing also confirms that it will have multiple band 4G LTE compatibility along with Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity.
The All New HTC One was originally expected to launch at MWC 2014, but HTC has now released invites for a special launch event on March 25 in London.
Judging from previous leaks, the HTC One 2 will be available in three colours – black, silver and gold – from launch, rather than the original duo of colour option for the HTC One.
The 2014 flagship is also expected to ditch the soft touch navigational buttons in favour of on-screen alternatives thanks to Android 4.4 KitKat.

Micromax A200 Canvas Turbo Minis Picture Got Leaked With Specifications
There are many big companies like Samsung, Lemon HTC, Sony etc. which makes devices in 3 variants. Those three are compact (for students and other people who dont like to carry big devices), standard (for normal people which doesnt mind using devices more than 4.5 inches and the last one, i.e., large for businessmen who likes big devices or for the people who likes big screened devices.
For instance, Sony released Xperia Z, and it came in 3 variants if you remember it. Those were Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1 (which you saw in TV advertisements), Xperia Z Ultra which was launched after these two variants. Now another example can be of HTC. HTC when released "One", then it also came into three variants and those were HTC One Mini, HTC One, HTC One Max.
This is now became a trend of releasing devices with 3 variants, most of the devices today (which are popular) comes in 3 models only. Because there are some people (like me!) who doesnt like devices more than 5 inches because it is difficult to carry them and are not handy. I like Standard devices but hate small ones with less than 4 inches.
We have seen HTC, Samsung, Xperia and other high-class companies releasing devices in variants but its now time for Micromax to show its magic!
Micromax A250 Canvas Turbo was released in 2013, last year and had became popular because of its RAM, that was 2 GB which has never been released in any Indian mobile phone before. Micromax are bringing new technologies to India like they brought blow to unlock feature, first Indian device which had 1 GB RAM (Micromax A116 Canvas HD), first device which has got Android updates, OTA updates, first mobile phone to have 2 GB of RAM etc. Micromax is actually on the ladder of the success.
Now lets get back to our main topic that is of Micromax A250 Canvas Turbo Mini.
The device would have almost same specifications as of Micromax A250 Canvas Turbo like:
Micromax A200 Canvas Turbo Mini Specifications that are almost same as of Canvas Turbo:

For instance, Sony released Xperia Z, and it came in 3 variants if you remember it. Those were Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1 (which you saw in TV advertisements), Xperia Z Ultra which was launched after these two variants. Now another example can be of HTC. HTC when released "One", then it also came into three variants and those were HTC One Mini, HTC One, HTC One Max.
This is now became a trend of releasing devices with 3 variants, most of the devices today (which are popular) comes in 3 models only. Because there are some people (like me!) who doesnt like devices more than 5 inches because it is difficult to carry them and are not handy. I like Standard devices but hate small ones with less than 4 inches.

Make your Android Phone faster with Kings Booster
Your android device running slow? If yes then rooted users are at right place. Yesterday I made and published a simple bunch of scripts which will/might improve the performance of any android device. Before, I released Geeky Engine but it was removed from XDA after some weeks because of some issues. This time, I have fixed some major and minor issues like Swap crashes, you cannot adjust swappniess and other issues. Now, the script wont make swap in your device and it wont auto-adjust swappiness too!
This is not a great utility like PimpMyRom or any other MODs, but its just a collection of tweaks (like Adrenaline Engine) so, it wont boost your device like a hell, but it will just remove some lags that will improve raw performance.
The MOD is working on every device. Yeah! Every device! Samsung, Micromax, HTC, Karbonn, ZTE, Lava, XOLO etc. and working on every ROM! AOSP ROMs, AOKP ROMs, CyanogenMod, LeWa OS, JoyOS, MiUi etc.
Lets first of all move to the features of My Kings Booster.

iOS 7 1 beta released with speed and design improvements
An iOS 7.1 beta has been released by Apple, with the pre-release software issued to developers with a range of speed and design improvements in tow.

Read more »

Available for a range of development unlocked iPad and iPhone devices, the second iOS 7.1 beta has been rolled out to developers as an over-the-air update to bring a number of speed enhancements to their applications and services.
While iOS 7, which launched alongside the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, marked a dramatic step away from the company’s previous mobile operating systems, the new iOS 7.1 beta offers only minor improvements over the existing software.
Among the new iOS 7.1 features, Touch ID and Passcode settings have been made more prominent and animations have been made faster than past iterations.
Elsewhere, the Control Centre has added a new bounce animation and an additional wallpaper has been added for iPad Air users.
While there is currently no word on when an iOS 7.1 update will be made available to general iPhone and iPad owners, Apple has warned developers updating to the latest beta than earlier versions of the OS can not be restored once updated.
“This is a pre-release version of iOS 7.1 beta 2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch,” Apple’s software listing reads. It adds: “Devices updated to iOS 7.1 beta 2 can not be restored to earlier versions of iOS.”

Hotfile close down in the wake of settling with Mpaa for 80 million
MPAA movement has brought about yet an alternate significant file-sharing site shutting down.
Hotfile was a crappy site, actually, I never liked that site. The site used to give damn slow download speed and doesnt even provide download through manager until the user is registered and a premium user. There are many files I need to downloads like ROMs, some applications, softwares, kernels etc. and some people upload them at Hotfile for getting money but they dont understand the feeling of customer. Anyway, Im happy with this because from now, everyone will go for MediaFire, ZippyShare etc. which provides hotlinking, download manager support, fast download etc.
Not at all like a percentage of the bigger sites the MPAAand RIAA have followed, Hotfile didnt precisely have a stellar track record when it came to copyright takedowns. Prosecutors guaranteed that more than 10 million demands had been sent to Hotfile soon after the claim was filed in 2011 and that just 70 client accounts had been ended accordingly. That is not the sort of vigilance that keeps the Copyright syndication off your back.
Also, Hotfile offered Money-per-download which makes users to upload more pirated tools or software which resulted in more downloads and more money. More than 50% of uploads in Hotfile are pirated things or cracks only.
There was a dispute between MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) and HotFile about some legal issues that was settled up with a deal of $80 million. Also, the Hotfile has been closed by the order of Judge because had already ordered to close the site because Hotfile wasnt qualified for Dmca Safe Harbor security, so net weeks trial might have been kept tabs on dealing with the aggregate bill for dama.
Theres also a rumor that Hotfile will be working after some months but I wish it to be closed for ever!!
What are the pros of Shutdown of Hotfile

What are the pros of Shutdown of Hotfile
- The users will upload their files on MediaFire, ZippyShare, Dev-host and other sites which will make users to download them easily without waiting for some seconds or minutes [or instant download].
- Users can download from IDM/FDM or other Download Manager after the users upload the files on other file sharing websites.
What are the cos of Shutdown of Hotfile
- The users money left behind! Hotfile took their shares with them only and didnt paid to the uploaders, so its sad for the HotFile users.
- The users premiem account gone into vain! What about 1 year premieum account of uploaders? It is worst for the users who registered just 1-2 months before the closing of the website.
- Hofile took the
HotFiles with them only! The users also might have made a backup of their folder or precious files which they cannot download or restore now! Sad for them again.
