The first iPhone 6 slipped badly from the hand of its owner on live T.V.  Nobody expected that soon Jack would be changed  the first iPhone 6 sold in Australia into first iPhone dropped.

As soon as he opened the box of iPhone 6, the mobile slipped from his hands and fell on the sidewalks. The most shocking thing is that all of this was live telecasted on the T.V.

At first Jack informed the viewers that nothing happened to his brand new iPhone 6.  But it became quite evident from his expressions that he was concerned about some damages to the screen. He rubbed his hand on the screen of the iPhone 6 and then the camera moved back towards the speechless newscaster.

People were really expecting to see lots of drop test videos after the release  of iPhone 6. However, Jack never planned to be the one to demonstrate it on a live Television.

 

Earlier,  two videos have shown the drop test of HTC One M8 that has the same metal design. In one video the screen was completely crushed and in the other video some scratches appeared on the metal.

Jack is lucky if he purchased that iPhone 6 with Apple Care+ otherwise he has to bear that damage.

However, this is not the first time when someone has dropped his new iPhone on the day of release. Last year, a large number of customers walked in the Apple store with a cracked or broken screen of a new iPhone 5s.

A user who purchased Apple Care+ along with the iPhone 5s left the shop with a smile on his face. Whereas, the second customer whose iPhone was not under the warranty went back quite in a sad mood

Apple Care is a pretty famous warranty which comes at a cost of $99. This kind of drop needs a $79 deductible since the customer gets merely two claims.

The accidental damage warranty includes hardware failures, drops and water damage. On the other hand, iPhone 6 insurance plans offer all these things along with the option of loss and theft.

 

Make it certain that you are investing in a trustworthy case if you are not planning to buy AppleCare+ or any other sort of protection plan.

Most cases do not offer protection of the drop of iPhone 6 screen on the sidewalk.

It is highly recommended to instantly purchase the case of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apple Store and Best Buy brags sell more than 100 cases and accessories of iPhone 6.

Apple is selling a leather case that is the best one up till now. You can effortlessly purchase it from any Apple Store.

The company designed it with premium leather which would not add a lot of weight to the new iPhone 6.  Moreover, this leather case comes in six different color options and all of them will complement with the black and white front of the iPhone 6.

Whereas, the red and grey color case will get dirty after a few weeks of purchase.

Sales are declining, Samsung and Apple have taken the most of the cellphone market share. How to survive in the market? How to come back in the competition, with the record of past 3 years with reducing sales?? Create something new and diversify the operation. This is what HTC thought and now is rumored to be working on a 16 – Megapixel sports underwater camera.  Not to forget the already established GoPro in this underwater business. HTC is entering a new market, with less competitors and thinking to expand its operations.

The ‘camera’ will be tube shaped, supporting both Android as well as iOS and can be connected through Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth. The camera is also expected to be suitable for rugged areas and featuring a strong solid body. With this camera HTC is forecasting to gain $244.6 million as revenue, giving GoPro serious and tough competition. HTC’s official latest attempt was the flagship smartphone M8, which offered more than one operating system. GoPro recently released 12 megapixel Hero3+’s however ended up making losses with revenue as little as $19.8 million. GoPro now decides to launch a new Hero4+’s featuring higher performance, better megapixels and much more. This increased competition might result in small companies entering this market and infiltrating it.

Any official announcement has not been made yet by HTC, but these details were given out by a person, who chose to stay anonymous. However HTC is expected to carry an event on Oct. 8 in which the camera will be released along with a new smartphone, suitable for taking selfies at the very same event, it is expected to take place somewhere in New York or California. For now we can only wait until an event takes place or any official announcements are made by HTC.

Overview

Many years have passed since the release of their predecessors, so consequently both companies have had enough time to research what needs to be omitted and what needs to be added.  Because of this reason both  consoles are head to head with each other. Being a runner up is not an option here.  You can buy either of the consoles and you would most likely be happy in the end, but there are some features for one system that may prove more advantageous for you, than the other system. Both the consoles are fully capable of running HD games and playing multimedia files, but in the end one console is better suited to function as a multimedia device while the other console is better suited as a purely gaming console. Gamers have been eager for both consoles to be released, but choosing the right console for you can be difficult, especially because of the differences and the similarities these two consoles offer. Choosing the console that had the highest sales could be a wrong buying strategy, since it does not necessarily mean that it is the better of the two for the specific purpose you want it for.  We have created a detailed rundown on these two consoles. We will compare these consoles head to head based on various aspects of the consoles. The breakdown is to help you decide which console is best for you, and whether you should buy it right now or wait for later releases. The rundown is based on the current market knowledge of both consoles. The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 both are absolutely great and bring something different to the table.  A suggestion for the reader of this post is to have a notepad and pencil out.  As you go through this post with a comparison of all the features and functions of both consoles, as you read a new section, write down in your notes which console has the advantage in your eyes, of that specific feature, and what that feature is.  When you complete the post, go over your notes and see if one console comes out more dominant in your notes than the other.  If they are about 50/50, take a look at the features, and prioritize which features are the most important to you, down to what is less important.  This should help your decision making process immensely.

Design

On the front, PlayStation 4 has two USB ports while on the back of the console are several ports which include:

• A HDMI out port
• Digital out (optical) port
• A LAN port
• An AUX port
• The Power supply port

The Xbox One on the other hand, is shaped like a rectangular box. It is not as showy, but blends in well with the existing electronics in the room. It gives a retro look, which many have compared to that of a VCR. Its dimensions are 34.3 x 26.3 x 8 cm.  It looks menacing and is larger than the PS 4. The design is very retro, yet somehow futuristic as well.  It weighs in at 7 pounds and just like the PS 4, it also incorporates both glossy and matte materials, just like the PlayStation 4 to give it the next-gen look.  One element to keep in mind is that the Xbox One console should not be set up vertically. It has been created to sit only horizontally on a surface. The Xbox One is larger in size due to it having larger vents and a bigger fan than its predecessor. This was done to eliminate the “red ring of death” fault the previous Xbox models possessed.

As compared to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One has many more ports on the back. These ports include:

• Power input port
• HDMI output and HDMI input ports
• 2 USB 3.0 ports
• Digital out (optical) port
• Kinect 2 sensor port
• Ethernet port

Both the consoles have done well l to cancel the noise that usually comes from electronic gadgets that have cooling fans. Neither of the consoles is loud per se, but there is a slight difference in both. In comparison the Xbox One is more silent than the PlayStation 4. Then there is the heating issue. The PlayStation 4 gets less heated than the Xbox One after continued operation.  However, the Xbox One has better ventilation and a bigger cooling fan. The heat activity does not affect the console’s operations.

Hardware

The hardware for both consoles are very similar. Both run on AMD GPU’s and both possess Blu-ray optical drives.  Both allow users to change their internal hard drives, though it is a lot easier to do so in the PlayStation 4 which requires no extra tools to open.  Both can support 4K resolution. The only thing that gives PlayStation 4 an edge over the Xbox One is their use of a different RAM than the Xbox One. Both use 8GB of RAM but the RAM used is different. The PlayStation 4 uses GDDR5 RAM, whereas Xbox One uses GDDR3 RAM. The Xbox One tries to make up for it by having a smaller choice of super-fast ESRAM than the PlayStation 4. Out of the 8GB RAM, Xbox uses 3GB for itself leaving developers with 5GB of RAM, whereas PlayStation 4 uses 3.5GB of RAM leaving users with 4.5GB of actual RAM. Both the standard versions give 500GB of internal memory to be used by the user.  Both play Blu-ray discs, and allow users to insert USB’s, and both have 8 core CPU’s embedded in them. The only difference in the core, is that the PS 4 uses cores provided by AMD, while Xbox One uses cores provided by AMD but modified by Microsoft themselves. The GPU inside PlayStation 4 is capable of producing speeds of up to 1.84 Teraflops, while the GPU inside the Xbox One is capable of producing speeds of up to 1.31 Teraflops, which in the end makes a huge difference. PlayStation 4 has more graphical power than the Xbox One.

Controller

Having a good controller for a gamer is very important and is one of the most important features of a console. A good controller allows for better control and quicker response time.  Let’s face it; if your controller is sub-par in quality, this will be a source of frustration and you will lose a lot of games.

Microsoft’s Xbox One controller is almost a duplicate of its earlier version, whereas the designers at Sony have gone for a completely new look for the PlayStation 4 controllers. Both systems have amazing controllers as compared to their predecessors, and Sony has done quite well to keep up with Microsoft’s controller; especially since their Xbox controller was said to be an achievement in the gaming world.

When it comes to the battery portion, the PlayStation 4 has chargeable internal batteries just like the PlayStation 3 did, while the Xbox One controller has a battery pack just like the controller for Xbox 360 did, but this time around the battery pack is not external. Though this is a huge change in design, it also poses more problems for a user to change the batteries. A fully charged PlayStation 4 controller has a shorter battery life as compared to fully charged Xbox One controller running on good rechargeable batteries.

The PlayStation 4 controller allows you to place your fingers a lot closer to the buttons and gives you a better grip due to its ergonomic design. It is weightier than the Dual Shock 3 controller and definitely sturdier.  It weighs 7.4 ounces and is available in two different colors. The buttons are larger and more pronounced than that of the PS 3 controller. The design on the underside of the handles lets you rest your fingers more conveniently and the indented analog sticks give your thumbs a place to rest, unlike the controller for the PlayStation 3. The Dual Shock 4 controller is a great improvement when compared to the Dual Shock 3 controller. Sony has added great features to the controller apart from redesigning it. Some features are:

1. A clickable touchpad that can be used as a cursor for online browsing just like a laptop’s touchpad.

2,  A mono speaker that relays audio from games directly to your controller.

3.  A head-jack to allow gamers to attach headphones or earphones.

4. A share button that allows you to record and share videos and screenshots directly to the internet.

The only flaw that users are facing when using the PlayStation 4 controller is the huge color changing light-bar, which creates a distraction because of the light reflecting directly on to the TV. The light cannot be dimmed and further decreases the already short battery life of the PlayStation 4 controller. The only way to solve this problem is to cover the light-bar with something to completely stop the light from showing.

PlayStation 4 only allows 4 controllers to be connected at once, whereas the Xbox One allows you to connect up to 8 controllers at once.

The Xbox One controller on the other hand is quite similar to the Xbox 360 controller and so feels familiar. Instead of completely changing the look, Microsoft decided to perform a few tweaks on the controller. Only slight changes have taken place and the controller has almost no flaws whatsoever. It weighs in at 9.9 ounces with batteries and is only available in black.   It just feels great in hand. The grooves between the front and rear buttons allow users to place their index finger comfortably in position. The analog sticks have been revamped along with the direction pad. These changes now allow the users to apply less force than before when inputting commands.

One great feature that Microsoft has added to the Xbox One controller is the addition of rumble motors. These motors allow more vibrations and a better haptic feedback, which is linked directly to some in-game actions. Microsoft has also added 2 new buttons to the controller. These buttons are:

View Button: Allows user to change view or view more information regarding a game or an application.

Menu button: Allows users to bring up context-specific menus regarding games or applications.

The controllers that were given with a console on the first day of the release have “DAY ONE 2013” written on the center of the controller, right above and between the D-pad and the analog stick.

 

Camera & Motion Control

Both consoles have a motion sensor accessory.  Microsoft’s Kinect 2 comes bundled in with the Xbox One, while Sony’s PlayStation Camera is sold separately.   The camera allows users to log in via facial recognition and also to control the console via gestures.

Sony’s PlayStation Camera formerly known as PlayStation Eye is not as good as the Kinect 2. Its voice command and facial recognition software is not as efficient as the Xbox One’s. It is sleeker in design as compared to the Kinect 2, but is not critical to the PlayStation gaming experience, and so can be regarded as just an optional accessory. There are almost no famous games that have incorporated the PlayStation camera feature into their games. The PlayStation camera has 2 highly sensitive cameras that can record at 720p along with 4 microphones for better sound recording and recognition.

Motion control on the PlayStation 4 console can be done via PlayStation’s Move controller. The Move controller lets a user interact with a game physically by using certain gestures.  Move controllers are the same that was used in PlayStation 3 and have had no changes brought in to them.

The Xbox One Kinect 2 on the other hand, is a lot better than the PlayStation camera. It is an important part of the Xbox One gaming experience.

Though it is not perfect, it still is better than the PlayStation camera at recognizing voice commands and faces. The camera in Kinect 2 is capable of recording at 1080p and also has the infra-red feature that allows for gaming even at night.   Compared to its previous version, the Kinect 2 has a better field of view, and can recognize up to 6 people simultaneously. It can even take your pulse rate.  It can be used to control the console via hand gestures, which after a while tends to become boring, since controllers are a faster way of controlling the console.  It works well in both small and large environments and can also be used for voice chat on Skype, which is only available in the Xbox One console.

Second Screen Feature

A second screen is something that can be used for your console rather than the TV itself. This allows you to play games or view other media on your second screen, while someone else enjoys other programs on the TV. This comes in handy, especially when you only have 1 TV and a large family that loves watching TV.

The PlayStation 4 has a feature called Vita Remote Play. This feature is only handy if you actually own a PS Vita. This allows you to play your games directly on the PS Vita via Wi-Fi. The change in controls may cause some difficulty in playing, but it is a cool feature.  One drawback of remote playing is that it only works when both the console and the PlayStation Vita are connected to the same network. Another drawback is that it works smoothly only if you have a super-fast internet connection, otherwise you face the problem of lag time.

Sony also offers an app called the PlayStation app that enables the second screen function in some supported games such as ‘The Playroom’ which comes pre-installed with the console. This app allows users to use their device as a keyboard to input data easily into the PlayStation 4. With this app you can get notifications and invitations from friends and will also allow you to chat with them. One special feature of the app is that it lets an eager user buy a game from the PlayStation Store, then push the ‘download to install button’ on the PlayStation 4, so that the downloaded game would be ready to play immediately.

On the other hand, Microsoft’s Xbox One has an app called SmartGlass which is available on a variety of devices. This app allows users to control the dashboard directly from the device, as well as other apps, such as Xbox Music. The app also works with some titles such as ‘Dead Rising 3′ to give users a unique gaming experience. The app also lets the device that it’s run from, be used as remote control for movies, music and other entertainment.

Power Supply

• When it comes to the power supply, there is a great difference in the consoles. The PlayStation 4 has an incorporated power supply, whereas the Xbox One needs to be operated on an external power brick.  Microsoft not incorporating an internal power supply is a surprising element,  since they are aware that the power brick is something users do not like carrying around.

• With the large difference in size, it seems evident that Microsoft was planning on having an internal power supply, but that was not the case.  PlayStation therefore is far easier to transport than the Xbox One, since the power brick requires extra space to fit in.

• When compared against each other for power consumption, Microsoft’s Xbox One was the clear winner.  It uses 110 watts when being run at its maximum gaming performance, whereas Sony’s PlayStation 4 consumed 140 watts, creating a difference of 30 watts. When performing simpler tasks like accessing Netflix or just browsing the internet, Xbox One consumed 74 watts, whereas the PlayStation 4 consumed 90 watts for performing similar operations.  The only time when PlayStation 4 consumed fewer watts than Xbox One, was when they both in standby mode.  In standby mode the PS 4 console consumed 9 watts as compared to the 18 watts that the Xbox One console consumed.

Hardware Failures

Both consoles experience some sort of hardware failures at times, despite being in the research and development stage for so many years. The good thing about the failures this time around, is that it has only affected a very small number of consoles, unlike the hardware failures of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  The hardware failures of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 affected a larger number of consoles, which then had to be returned back to the seller in order to get fixed.  A definite hassle no one likes to experience.

The hardware failure in Xbox One is popularly known as ‘disc drive of doom’. This hardware failure prevents the Blu-ray from being read by the console, thus is makes grinding sounds in the attempt. There is no do it yourself fix for this flaw, and requires you to get in contact with customer service. You may be able to use all other features of the console except for the optical drive.

The hardware failure in the PS 4 is popularly known as ‘blue light of death’. This hardware failure prevents the console from operating at all. The color changing LED strip turns blue and starts pulsating. Just like the Xbox One, this flaw has also only affected 1% of total customers. Sony released a fix for the problem, but that does not ensure a perfect fix.

Game Titles

What is the use of a console without having an exclusive or an outstanding game title?  Nothing but a piece of electronic that lets you play mp3’s and mp4’s.   Gamers look for something new in a console, as well as a game. A good game is one that utilizes nearly all the features a console provides. Both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 have a good share of multi-platform games between them. Since a console is long term investment, users want to see good games being released for the console they have chosen.  Games for both consoles can either by be downloaded via their respective networks, or bought from gaming stores in the form of Blu-ray discs, which both consoles play very easily.

What about gamers who are following a particular series, and that particular series has no plans of upgrading to the next console?  Should they wait till a release is announced, or buy the console right away in hopes of seeing their favorite game’s next part being released on these next-gen consoles?

One such title includes the famous Tekken series that is published by Namco.   Many games have been released on both platforms but only some have proven to be successful.  Since its still early in the console wars, we will surely see many great games being released for both models.  Popular games currently available on both the consoles areCall Of Duty: Ghosts

• Battlefield 4
• Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
• FIFA 2014
• The Lego Movie Videogame
• NBA 2k14
• Need For Speed: Rivals
• Rayman Legends
• Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
• Thief

 Exclusive Game Titles

Exclusive games are a big issue in the console wars.  Exclusive games are games that can only be played on either one of the console. Exclusive games are an important factor when choosing a console. According to a survey held at the Eurogamer Expo of 2013, game exclusivity was the number one reason  people gravitated to specific console, over the competition’s version. Second most important reason was the price, and least important factor was the device’s functionality as a multi-media device.

A casual gamer may have little difficulty choosing a console, but the hard core gamer that has been following an exclusive game series, will only buy the console on which that particular game’s next version will be released. Exclusivity allows both Microsoft and Sony to bring something new to the table and keeps the gaming scene fresh and ready to be explored.

Popular games exclusive to the Xbox One and already released include:

 

• Dead Rising 3
• Forza Motorsport 5
• Killer Instinct
• Ryse: Son Of Rome
• Titanfall

Exclusive games yet to be released include:

• Untitled Gears Of War game
• Untitled Halo game
• Quantum Break

Popular games exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and already released include:

• Dead Nation
• Flower
• Killzone: Shadow Fall
• Resogun

 

 Exclusive games yet to be released include:

• Deep Down
• Drive Club
• Final Fantasy XV
• InFamous: Second Son
• Shadow Of The Beast
• The Order: 1886
• The Witness
• Uncharted 4

As evident from the list, PlayStation has more exclusive titles coming up as compared to the Xbox One.  Exclusive titles as mentioned earlier, are a key factor for the purchase of a particular console over another. Xbox has done well in its exclusive category, but not as much as PlayStation 4 has.

 Indie Games

These are games that are created by individuals or small teams, and generally lack the financial support given big name games. These games are generally distributed digitally and achieved fame in the latter half of 2000. Indie games are important to both consoles since such games are generally free for the user to download, and in many cases Indie games have proved to be rather successful. Both Sony and Microsoft allow developers to publish games themselves, although in the earlier stages of the console wars, Microsoft had said they would not allow indie games without a proper publisher.  The only difference is that the Xbox One acts as developer kit in itself, whereas developers have to buy expensive developer kits for them to develop something for PlayStation. This may be the only difference but in the end it is a large one. Developers will surely find it easier to work on the Xbox One, rather than the PlayStation 4, which requires expensive kits to perform developer functions

Cloud Gaming

Both consoles give users an opportunity to benefit from their cloud gaming services. Both have cloud services, but the differences in service are large. Microsoft’s cloud technology is called ‘Azure’ and Microsoft has poured billions of dollars into making their cloud service one of the best. They have placed data centers throughout the world for users to have the ultimate, uninterrupted gaming experience. Having a great cloud service is important since Xbox Live will mostly be running from the Azure cloud platform. Microsoft has promised to provide dedicated servers to users, and this will greatly benefit the customer in the long run. PlayStation 4 on the other hand, will offer cloud services though Gaikai which they acquired some time ago.  Gaikai is nowhere near Azure in terms of development yet, and the number of servers, but still packs a punch.

Software, Operating System & User Interface

A good operating system and an intuitive user interface are necessary for a good, all round gaming experience. The software of a console allows a person to install apps and games, and also lets them to switch between those apps and games easily.  Good software allows users the ability to view and sort various types of popular media formats so they can use their files everywhere. Both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have highly interactive, functional operating systems, and user interface; but there is a noticeable difference in both consoles.  Both systems do not allow backward compatibility which is a flaw.

The Xbox One’s operating system is ‘Windows 8′ inspired which is evident from the tiles available on the dashboard also known as the home screen.  It not only looks pleasing, but is well organized which lets a user manage everything on the screen with ease. On the home screen a user is allowed to choose from various tabs such as Pins, Home, Games, Music, and Apps etc.

Microsoft allows users to pin their favorite apps according to their own liking. These pins automatically change according to which user has logged in. Another great option added to the operating system is the Snap feature which allows someone to run two apps side by side. Using the Snap feature you can browse the web or Skype, while playing a game. You can also select any app or game using voice commands or hand gestures using the Kinect 2.

Added to a list of apps is the ‘Friends App’ that allows a person to follow a friend’s achievements, recorded clips, or images;  just like Twitter you can also follow celebrities who are using the Friends app.  Not only can you play games and run apps, but you can also connect your cable or satellite box directly to you Xbox One and watch your favorite channel through the console itself.

PlayStation 4 has also got an upgrade to their operating system which is quite different from PlayStation 3’s operating system. PlayStation 3 had an XMB bar and now replacing it is the Dynamic Menu, which is more visually appealing and keeps things simple. This menu allows users to quickly switch between apps and games and to navigate between them with ease. The home screen has 5 different tabs initially, but they increase in number as different apps and games are installed.

The Xbox One and PlayStation4 hit the marketplace November 2013, and both have seen good sales. They both generated many alterations, new features, more strength, and many other attributes over their earlier versions.

Sony displayed emphasis on more power, remote gaming via the ‘PS Vita’, and the complete Hi-Def gaming participation.

Microsoft it seems, the goal is not exclusively gaming, but a comprehensive entertainment structure able to interact with TV boxes.  It also provides many entertainment services, if you have Xbox Live Gold. Both systems where very popular and received good reviews for their improvements,  but as almost everything is, not perfection.

There were problems and challenges that impacted both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.  Issues ranging from hardware fails, to software difficulties, faults, and more.  Software application (firmware) patches or updates are fairly routine.   Both Microsoft and Sony released new fixes for the consoles.

Sony held to its common firmware schedule update for PS4,  similar as with the updates for the PS Vita and PS3. They released minor update on a regular basis, with not many details as to what the updates were actually doing. A more major update called 1.60, brought more enhancements to the system.

Microsoft dropped the slow update processes seen on previously on Xbox 360 for a more rapid way, in response to comments from buyers. They also released some fixes to streamline friends system, party chat, and minor operating system details.

Sony plans to remove HDCP encryption from the HDMI connection (as they stated they would last year), and improve Twitch broadcasting.   This would let users save videos or screenshots on a USB, instead of only social network systems.

Microsoft, plans address enhancements to the friends structure.  Kinect sensor, or the Game DVR system has improvements coming  on the horizon.  Firmware updates not be important to some folks, but it can be a good indicator if a corporation is responsive to the needs of their customers, or not.  Time will tell.

Performance & Graphics

In relation to specifications, it’s a toss up between PS4 and Xbox One. Both consoles possess a 500GB hard drive, an x86-64 AMD Jaguar CPU,  and AMD Radeon GPU.  Xbox One’s CPU measures a speed of 1.7-GHz, and PS4’s comes in at 1.6-GHz CPU.

Both consoles contain 8GB of RAM memory.  PlayStation 4 is packed with advanced GDDR5 RAM, which is suited for giving great graphics performance, and XBox One has DDR5.   PlayStation 4’s hard drive is removable while XBox One’s is not, so those who do modifications can fit all their games on the system in a simpler way.

Maneuvering through XBox One system’s interface is quicker than navigating the PS4. The system came in at 2381.7ms on the Javascript Sunspider test, while beating PlayStation 4’s time of 4538.3ms.  What this is measuring is browser execution.

Both of the consoles are given better load & install times than earlier versions.  Having to wait 15 minutes or so, for an update or an install is now a thing of the past, thankfully.   This is due mostly to the ability of each system to do installs and downloads in the background.

Even though many advances has been made to this next-gen era of gaming, truly stunning graphics are still fairly rarely found.   ‘Killzone: Shadow Fall’ on PlayStation 4 and ‘Forza Motorsport 5’ on Xbox One,  yield impressive graphics, but many others seem like someone just increased the resolution of the previous-gen’s version.

Online Play & Social Media

Gaming is one thing, but having to play online is something that many users now look forward to. Playing online with friends or other people has become one of the important elements of having a complete gaming experience.

Users demand a smooth and flawless system that can allow online gaming without the lease bit of lag. Both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have great online services, and are still developing this area in order to give users an even greater experience. Playing a game or using an app like Netflix both require internet connection, and for that the online service provided must be outstanding. The Xbox One’s online service is called ‘Xbox Live’ and PlayStation 4 uses ‘PlayStation Plus’. In the past Xbox has been known to have the better provider of online services for users, compared to the PlayStation Network.

An Xbox Live Gold subscription costs $60 per year and includes access to apps like Netflix and Hulu. The subscription also allows people to play games online with friends and family. With Xbox Live Gold you can get up to 2 free games per month. The roster for free games changes constantly, but not as often as it does on the PlayStation Network. The games you download remain with you even if you unsubscribe from the network. Microsoft earlier made promises to enhance the user’s experience of multiplayer gaming by adding more dedicated servers. Along with offering a variety of online features such as party chat, Microsoft also offers discounts to members having the Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Xbox One comes with some great apps like Friends and Skype that allows users to connect with their friends. Also coming in the future will be the Twitch app that will allow users to share video footage of their gameplay directly online. For the time being Xbox One users can share video but only to their Xbox Live friends. The Xbox One allows a video buffer of the last 5 minutes so that you can share the last 5 minutes of your gameplay, or of yourself while playing on Kinect 2 if you wanted to do so. The video is recorded at 720p. When about to be shared, Xbox One gives the users a chance to trim the video according to their liking.

The PlayStation Network offers ‘PlayStation Plus’ service which like ‘Xbox Live Gold’ gives users a variety of online features in addition to offering discounts and free games. The free games listed are changed more frequently than the ones on the Xbox Network. The only drawback is that these games do not remain with you once you unsubscribe from the network.  The cost of the subscription is $50, which is $10 less than the subscription for the Xbox Live Gold. One great feature of the PlayStation Network comes from Sony’s acquisition of Gaikai. This cloud gaming company was acquired by Sony even before they launched the console. This lets users  stream demos and games directly from internet onto their console, without installing the game first. Users that get PlayStation Plus subscription also get to download a popular game called Resogun for free onto their consoles.

PlayStation 4 is integrated with Facebook that allows you to see a friends ID along with their gaming ID. Like the Xbox One, the PS 4 console also records at 720p. The video buffer on the PlayStation 4 console allows it to record the last 15 minutes of gameplay.  By using the share button, you can simply share it with your friends on Facebook as a video, or on Twitter in the form of a screenshot. Just like the Xbox One, it also allows users to trim and edit the video before actually uploading it. One great feature of the PS 4 is that it permits simultaneous streaming of your current gameplay directly on to Twitch.

In the standard version of the Xbox One console you get a 14-day free trial of the Xbox Live Gold membership and with PlayStation you get a 30-day subscription to PlayStation Plus.

Applications

Not long ago it was easier to compare consoles, since all they did was run games. No internet, no apps, no multimedia playback, made it fairly simple for users to compare consoles against each other.  Nowadays, users expect their console to do much more than just play games. They want multimedia playback. They want to access the internet. They want to install and use apps that can give them a great experience.

Both consoles are able to install some apps created especially for the operating system the consoles are operating on. One such app that has created a lot of hype is the Netflix app. The Netflix app will be available on both the consoles. This app allows users to watch their favorite movies or TV shows on their TV sets, via their consoles. The only difference that arises is that on the Xbox One console you need to have an Xbox Live membership in order to run the app, whereas you need no membership on the PlayStation 4 to run Netflix.

Apps for PlayStation 4 can be downloaded via the PlayStation Store. All you need to do is select the app, press X on the download button and you are done. The system lets you know when the app is installed and ready to play. Apps for the Xbox One can be downloaded in similar fashion to that of PlayStation 4. Select the app you want to install by simply pressing the select button. The app will ask you whether you want to install the app, hit yes and you are done!

Apps on the Xbox One are much better than the ones on the PlayStation 4. One big difference in the long list of available apps is that of Skype. Skype is only available on the Xbox One and the ability to use Skype while playing a game, using the Snap feature, is like the icing on top. More apps that are exclusive to the Xbox One include:

• HBO Go
•  YouTube
• NFL
• ESPN
• Machinima
• FX Now

These apps fulfill all your entertainment needs and have no great alternate currently.

Backward Compatibility

Neither consoles allow backward compatibility. Backward compatibility is a great feature as it allows users to play their favorite games on the previous consoles, on the new consoles that have been upgraded to. There are always some games that a gamer never gets tired of and wants to play again and again.  Sony during the initial unveiling revealed that PlayStation will have backward compatibility but soon changed its course when they saw that the Xbox One did not have this feature.

Game Cases

The cases for games have been similar for both the predecessors of the consoles apart from the difference in color, but this time around Microsoft has gone the other way.  Instead of placing the game disc on the right, they have now put it on the left side.  Cases for Xbox One games are thinner and green in color, whereas those of the PlayStation 4 are thicker and blue in color. Cases for both the console games are made from a transparent plastic material and both contain booklets for the game along with the Blu-ray disc.

Bundles

Bundles are special packs that contain some extra features compared to the standard version of the console. The bundles may or may not help you save money.  Bundles may include a game or online pass. Some special bundles have customized consoles with decals that match the game that is being sold with the bundle.  Both consoles were available in bundles at leading gaming stores. Two bundles that stood out include:

1.  The Xbox One Ultimate Bundle: this bundle includes an Xbox One console, 2 wireless controllers, an Xbox Live 12-Month Gold membership, Microsoft Complete for Xbox One, your choice of 3 Xbox One games and a digital download of the Forza Motosport 5 game. The bundle is still available and costs $799.99.

2.  PlayStation 4 Ultimate Bundle: this bundle includes a PlayStation 4 console, 2 wireless controllers, PlayStation Camera and the new Killzone game in blu-ray form. This bundle costs $745.

Public appearance

Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 both made their first public play through at the Comic Con 2013 event. The crowd was allowed to play a variety of games on both consoles. The event had a lot of hype created for it, and was one of the most awaited events of the Comic Con.

Price

Price is a very important factor for decision making when it comes to buying consoles. Everyone wants value for their money, especially when they are going to make a larger purchase.  Price might be the deciding factor for many people.

At the time of the launch Microsoft released their Xbox One for $499 which included a Kinect as well, whereas Sony released their PlayStation 4 for $399 which did not include the PlayStation Move which is the competition of Microsoft’s Kinect for the Xbox.  This difference in price was only because of Microsoft’s bundling the Kinect with the Xbox One. Both the consoles were sold without any bundled games. The games had to be bought separately.

The current price (at the time of this writing) for Microsoft’s Xbox One is $469 while Sony’s PlayStation 4 is still $399. The PlayStation Camera costs $60 which makes the PS 4 slightly more expensive than the Xbox One. The prices stated are for the standard editions of both consoles. The standard edition consoles are both black in color and doesn’t include any free games, but what they do include is a free limited time online pass.

The standard edition of the PS 4 includes:

PlayStation 4 gaming console

• 1 Dual-Shock 4 wireless controller
• 1 Power cable
• 1 HDMI cable
• 1 USB charging cable
• 1 Wired mono headset
• Booklets and manuals

 

The standard edition of the Xbox One includes:

• Xbox One gaming console
• 1 Kinect sensor
• 1 Wireless controller
• 1 HDMI cable
• 1 Wired headset
• 1 Power supply
• Booklets and manuals

Conclusion

Getting the perfect console can be difficult since new software and hardware upgrades usually come up and change the entire scene, but we hope that the rundown we made might have provided you a clearer answer as to what you should choose as your next generation console. There is no wrong choice here since as mentioned earlier, both the consoles are great.

 

 

 

• If you want a console that is solely focused on running games then definitely go for the PlayStation 4. It is the stronger of the 2 when it comes to graphic prowess. It is sleeker and more edgy in design as compared to the Xbox One.
•  If you are a hard core gamer and care about nothing else then this console is the right one for you. PlayStation 4 is the only console that can actually run games at 1080p making you utilize every bit of your HD TV. The PlayStation 4 was made entirely for gaming, making it a pure breed.  Sony is also working on it cloud based services alongside its PlayStation Network to give users a complete gaming experience.
•   The PlayStation is $100 cheaper because of the PlayStation Camera not being added and to be honest, is completely unnecessary if you are a serious gamer.  PlayStation 4 provides the right amount of eye candy along with performance. The touchpad on the controller is something to look forward to when developers start incorporating the feature into games.
• Sony’s PlayStation 4 has a better and sharper user interface than Microsoft’s Xbox One. It is not only easy on the eye but is also easier to navigate. The PS 4 looks like something that will stay in the future for a long time with even more great games coming its way. The PS 4 does not require a subscription to view apps, unlike the Xbox One console.
• If you’ve made a list of pros and cons on a notepad while reading through this, now is the time to evaluate your list.  Does one out weigh the other?  Rank your priority qualities and see which one tips the scale.  Hopefully, you will have found this guide useful to deciding which console is the best fit for YOU.

I might seem fanatical, but I am one of the few people who don’t mind Windows 8/8.1. The general moan with Microsoft’s present Windows operating system is basically how the Start Menu virtually moved out with Windows 8. Consequently, Microsoft is working hard on preparing Windows 9 naming “Threshold” in order to swap with their Windows 8 operating system.

 

Now, rumors regarding Microsoft’s Windows 9 are; it is going to launch on September 30th, but yet it’s not the confirmed news. Though the release of Windows 9 video on YouTube, folks got some idea that it will be launching soon. But just try to keep in mind that this is a pre-release video so the final product might differ.

It has been observed that most of the Windows users are probably gasping a communal moan of relief, and maybe a few cheers, seeing that the Microsoft is refurbishing the Start Menu to its earlier functionality along with some other features.

The ever exciting part of the Microsoft Windows 9 is that it also looks to be incorporating the tile based Start Screen as part of the Start Menu. It offers that you will be able to pin any app as a tile to the Start Menu, which vigorously swells as additional tiles are added. Seeing that with the current Start Screen you can easily drag, resize, and unpin any of the tiles.

Although it seems to be a nice solution for folks who like the current Windows 8.x iteration of the Start Screen will feel delighted to see that Microsoft has incorporated an option for users to opt the occupied tiled interface as well.

Lastly, most of the people want to resize Windows apps in Windows 8.x. When you see Windows 8 it ran full screen, but in 8.1 Microsoft added a title bar, along with the minimize and close buttons, and it looks like they will be taking it one step further in Windows 9 with fully windowed apps.
As I have said earlier, I don’t mind the way Windows 8.1 knobs the Start Menu.

I am fond of the tiled interface of the Start Screen and a quick Windows Key plus X gets me speedily to the menu items. I want faster way in to, same like control panel and command prompt. However, after watching the video, I suppose that Microsoft ought to have used this hybrid approach out of the gate with Windows 8. The incorporated Start/Tile Menu, options to go entirely tiled as is the case with Windows 8.x, plus windowed Windows apps is a clear-cut enhancement and allow access to the interface style they prefer on both sides of the hedge.

If Windows 9 certainly is revealed later this month, it symbols one of the shortest Windows life cycles since Windows XP in just less than 2 years. Furthermore in less than a year if you calculate the 8.1 point launch as a Windows launch and not an update.

After two hours attwireless.comand would allow people to pre-order the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. Unfortunately, the website is almost blank for the next three hours. In the meantime, people can check whether they can afford an iPhone 6 or not.

The pre-order for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus will begin in the middle of the night.  Till then attwireless.com is unreachable and merely shows a countdown time for the pre-order of iPhone 6. The site’s background gives an image of a person using a tablet and try to access attwireless.com. The tagline of “ Mobilizing Your World” is visible at the bottom of the splash page.
Unluckily, the company does not provide any other link or clue for the people who wish to access their accounts.

People who urgently want to check their accounts can directly login through the website of AT&T Mobile. Currently, this splash page is just a waste of time for the customers.

This is not the first time when any wireless carriers are facing problems with the acceptance of pre-orders.  It seems like Apple. Com and other carriers are trying to deal with all the pre-order issues, but still they are unable to handle the rush

Apple definitely struggled hard to stream globally the announcement of iPhone 6 to its consumers. In spite of this most of the websites were overloaded which were responsible to live broadcast the two hour launch event.

Apple released iPhone and iPhone 6 plus as the latest version of the iPhones. Tomorrow the company will launch the two new iPhones in different sizes. Analysts are have already called it as “ the most anticipated device of Apple”. Whereas, all the Apple executives are considering this iPhone as the biggest improvement in the history of iPhone.

The chief reason behind this is that most of the people did not bother to purchase iPhone 5s since it was quite similar to the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 6 plus comes with a large display of 5.5 inches. Whereas, iPhone 6 is relatively smaller in size and has a display screen of 4.7 inch. The two iPhones possess an improved camera sensor, faster processor and larger batteries.  The company has fitted a new technology known as NFC which will permit users to replace credit cards with Apple Pay.

Apple has recently launched iPhone 6 in two different sizes.  This article is completely based on the differences between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus and which one is better.

The two iPhones are dissimilar in a lot of ways, but the chief difference is in the size and dimension. The iPhone 6 has a relatively smaller display than the iPhone 6 plus. It has a display screen of 4.7 inches, whereas iPhone 6 plus comes with a display screen of 5.5 inches.

There are few other slight differences which show that iPhone 6 plus is way better than the iPhone 6. Some of the reasons are mentioned below:

Battery Life:

The biggest advantage the company offers with iPhone 6 Plus is its battery life. As we all know that the iPhone 6 plus is larger in size that indicates that there is a big slot for battery. Though, iPhone 6 plus will utilize more battery due to its large display, but even then it would not be a big deal for the battery.  These days people use their smartphones more like a substitute of computer, therefore the majority of customers are really concerned about the browsing time.  As per the declaration of the company, iPhone 6 Plus has 12 percent of Wi-Fi as compared to the iPhone 6.

As far as the video streaming is concerned, nobody wants to watch games like football, baseball while continuously checking their batteries.

The iPhone 6 plus has comparatively 40 percent improved battery performance than the other iPhone like iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. In this 40 percent of better battery performance user can watch entire baseball game or two movies.

iPhone 6 plus can give you two more extra hours of browsing the web on 4G LTE as compared to the normal iPhone 6 or iPhone 5s.

The second main difference is in the standby time of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 can standby for nearly 10 days, whereas iPhone 6 plus can continue till 16 days.  It is the best thing for the people who are pretty lazy at charging their phones. Although people would not delay charging their phone to this extent, but still who would not want to have a 60 percent better standby time. It signifies that iPhone 6 plus would work perfectly fine even if its charger is not in reach.

Display:

Another remarkable feature of iPhone 6 plus is its large display screen. It offers a bigger size as well as a higher resolution. It implies that iPhone 6 plus can show a full HD video as it should be seen. It comes with a display of 1920 x 1080 resolution, which means it contains 401 pixels per inch. However, iPhone 6 offered  326 pixels per inch that indicates that pictures would be more clearly visible in iPhone 6 Plus. It is best for the people who look for the display first when they purchase any phone.

 

 

Better Camera:

The cameras of iPhone and iPhone 6 are almost similar. The two iPhones provide a 8 megapixel sensor with some exciting features and the facility of Autofocus pixel. The major thing that makes iPhone 6 a better one is the option of optical image stabilization.  The optical image stabilization automatically cuts back the blur which usually happens because of camera shake. It will help in making your picture better, therefore do not expect this phone to freeze a running child

Obviously the camera of iPhone 6 would not replace the need a mid-point shooter or DSLR for important event. It would certainly fill the gap of a iPhone camera and a DSLR through the option of optical image stabilization.

 

 

iPhone 6 not that big:

Some people would definitely consider iPhone 6 an uncomfortable phone due to its extremely large screen.  It has a slim design and measure just 7.1 mm which means it is 25 percent thinner than the LG G3.

It surely can be hard for people to tap on the screen of such a large iPhone, especially who are used to of using the phone with one hand. Apple has resolved this issue as well through its new feature named as Reachability.  As soon as the user turn on reachability he can pull down the top half of the screen to the bottom half.

The iPhone 6 plus weighs a bit more than iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 since it is  nearly of 6.07 ounces. It can cause a problem for the people who feels at ease with lighter phones like iPhone 5s.

Apple Care+:

Both the two iPhones, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus offers Apple Care+ which comes at a price of $99. Therefore, it would not give you  a lot of stress even if you drop a large and expensive iPhone 6 plus.  Generally, big metal phones are quite slippery and difficult to hold so it is better to purchase iPhone 6 Plus with AppleCare+ or any other damage protection insurance.

Just wait for few months and you will see that lots of people crying about their broken display screens.

 

$100 More is Worth It:

The iPhone 6 Plus costs almost $100 more than the normal iPhone 6. It will definitely be a sensible decision to purchase the bigger iPhone, which is  iPhone 6 Plus.

Destiny is an upcoming online persistent first person shooter game. The developers and publishers are planning to launch it for Xbox one and PS4 on the 9^th of September. The game signifies a big change in the technique with which the users play first person shooter.

Most of the online role-playing characteristics are making it more like a console game.  Destiny release would be a big thing and all the buyers will certainly look for the best Destiny deals on the day of release.

Destiny is one of the most biggest and high profile game of the year.  However, there are not several Destiny deals available apart from Destiny special edition PS4 bundle.

Destiny Deals On Best Buy:

Best Buy, the American multinational electronic retails is offering relatively better destiny deals as compare to others. People who possess My Best Buy membership will get a $10 gift certificate on the purchase of Destiny.  The deal incorporates every edition of the game.

People who will buy Destiny for Xbox One, PS4, PS3 or Xbox 360 will get Best But gift cards along with their pre-orders.

Fortunately, membership of My Best is free of cost for everyone. The company presents some other rewards such as free shipping on order of $35 or more.

At the end of last year, Best Buy launched My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked program. The program is especially for gamers who often buy video games for others at its retail locations. It gives a discount of 20 percent on the purchase of every game from the retailers. In short, a person, who will avail Best buy Destiny Deal will get an extra 20 percent discount with that gift certificate. The buyer can use that $10 gift card for anything present in the store or website.

Sadly, a person has to pay $119.99 in order to become a member of the Best Buy Gamers Club. However, the membership will last for two years from the date of purchase.

Destiny Deals On Microsoft:

The Microsoft Store, the retail department of the software company which makes Xbox One is offering a limited Destiny deal.  The deal comes without any restriction of membership card, but discount cards or game trade-in is essential.  The retailer is also offering a $10 gift card with every pre-order of Destiny that can be utilized for anything. It could be another game from the Xbox store or a television show. The only restriction which comes along with Microsoft’s Destiny deals is the time limit.  The user will need to redeem the gift card code on their Xbox Live account before 2016.  They will lose the entire gift card if they would not avail it before the given time.

Furthermore, Microsoft says that people who order physical copies of Destiny before the 5^th of September will get hold of their game on the release day.

 

 Other Destiny Deals:

The only question gamers are asking is where are the other destiny deals. The answer is simple that other deals depend upon the popularity of the game. The company has on-aired advertisements for Destiny several months ago. On the other hand, Activision an American video game publisher has created the hype for this game since two years.  Therefore, retailers are certain that they will generate a large amount of profit on this game even without special deals.

In the beginning of August, GameStop declared that it would not concentrate on deals anymore. The company decided to cut down the prize for its games and increased trade-in value instead of deals. Therefore, there is not any 30%-50% deals announced from GameStop which it used to offer for other titles. It will surely compel gamers to join the company’s Power-up Reward program. Power up Rewards buyers pay $14.99 a year and get 10% bonus on everything they purchase.

When Destiny releases it will come in various versions. Players who will buy directly from their console will have to choose a standard version of the game which will cost more. Two high-end official Destiny Special editions will also be available.

Today Motorola announced four new devices and one of them is Moto X for 2014. According to the rumors, the company was planning to name this new product as Moto X +1 or Moto X2 but in the end they called it Moto X.  People who want to purchase a new smartphone are quite perplex since currently the market is full of new phones.

Motorola surprised the entire smartphone market last year through the launch of an extremely impressive Moto X.  This year the company is back again with a much larger, faster and better smartphone.

Last year Motorola took an extremely risky step and left the race of large screen smart phones. No doubt, that the new Moto X is better smartphone in every aspect and offers everything which a user wish to see in his smart phone. Nevertheless, it is still very difficult for buyers to choose any one of the devices. There are other reasons reason behind this confusion such as the release of various new smart phones like Samsung Galaxy S5, LG G3 and Sasmung Galaxy Note 4.

 

For the convenience of the people who want to purchase new Moto X or the original Moto X we have mentioned everything related to their features in the following paragraphs.

Display:

Motorola preferred a compact design and customization instead of running after the specs like other smart phone companies.  Motorola offered their users, a small 4.7 inch 720 p HD display when the others were giving 1080p.

Although the company  launched  the new Moto X with a large screen and introduced it with sleek bezels and an almunium ring. This almunium ring which wraps around the new 5.2 –inch 1920 x 1080p full HD display. It has an AMOLED that provides vibrant colors and high quality saturation of images. The difference between the display screen size of  new and previous Moto X is clearly evident even in pictures.

People who are annoyed by the large screen since it is a bit difficult to hold, then they can easily go for the smaller Moto X of last year. The two phones are pretty comfortable  and painless to hold.

 

Design:

Both the phones are similar in terms of design except some from the addition of a few keys. Foremost,  Motorola used an alumunium frame rather than the plastic one for the production of new Moto X.  This major alteration makes the device more durable and better in appearance.  Nonetheless, the back is still detachable  so that the users can choose their favorite color of it.
There is a little modification in both the front and the back of the smart phone. As we have already stated the changes associated with display screen, but there are some other variations such as speaker grills and odd dots. These dots are in fact IR sensors to detect the presence of a human ear. In simple words, it will sense whether you  want to use hands free or not.

Earlier, some leaks proposed that this time Motorola would provide a dual front facing speakers like HTC One M8. Unfortunately, there is only a single front speaker present in this new device. The top speaker is the earpiece and the bottom speaker is the single speaker grill. No doubt, the front speakers are loud and clear, unlike the other device which gives a mixed sound.

There is a gigantic logo of Motorola that is indented at the back of the smart phone. This time the company placed the power button at the back along with the logo. There is a weird ring present  around the rear camera which is a “ring-flash” for the new Moto X.  The product comes with a 13 Megapixel camera which promises excellent photography. Two LED flash sensors are also located with the high resolution camera which will ensure a soft and natural flash. Usually powerful flashes spoils the entire picture because of overexposure.

On the whole, the design is relatively improved as compared to the original Moto X.  The curves of new Moto X give a wonderful feeling and is much easier to hold than the previous edition of  Moto X.

Specs:

The two phones can be considered as great smartphones, but obviously people want to have the best one in the hands. The new Moto X comes at a reasonable price and will be the best option for all the  people who are  anticipating for Android L . But still to make it more convenient for you we have enlisted the specifications of the original Moto X and new Moto X.

Five decades ago scientist through an electron microscope unveiled that there is a a blob like structure present inside the cell.  This structure, form,  moves and then disappear within the cells.

Although the scientist discovered the existence of these blobs nearly half a century ago but still most of the things related to them are unidentified. Later on, scientists came to recognize that this mysterious structure is called “assemblages”. It has a cloud like structure filled with protein, which plays quite a significant role in the lifetime of a cell.  It possesses the ability to provide new options in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

Two researchers Jeffery Toretsky and Peter Wright  invited several other researchers from numerous arenas of study in order to examine the function of these blobs in health and disease.

The study, based on this research is printed in The Journal of Cell Biology with an entitle of “Assemblages: Functional units formed by cellular phase separation”.

Toretsky and Wright stated that the this mixture of researchers who belongs to different discipline will provide more awareness of these assemblages and their purpose. This study and manipulation of assemblages will pave the way to the understanding of biological processes. Moreover, the research will determine the influence of assemblages on human health.

Furthermore, they said that the blob like structure are generally composed of fundamentally disordered proteins. These proteins usually search for each other and form into assemblages, and this procedure is known as “Phase separation”.

The study connects the very basic biological phenomena of protein interaction with the ability of new drug discovery.
