Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
File this on “I paid $100 more” file.
Google Nexus 4 is now $199 and $249 for the 8 GB and 16 GB model, respectively.
I paid $349 for the 16 GB model when it was first released. It was “cheap” back then, now it is even cheaper. No contract.
For some reason I wished I paid $100 less back then. Ah well.
Plant vs. Zombies 2 was only available for iOS at launch. It is not yet announced when this game would be available on other platforms such as Android. As always, Android Community is trying hard to stay classy.
For some reasons there are numbers of fake Plants vs. Zombies 2 game at Google Play. Fake developers impersonating real companies.
Take a look at the screenshots from Google Play:
“Plants Vs Zombies 2” by Gameloft Ltd.
The last time I checked, Plant vs. Zombies 2 is a game by Popcap, an Electronic Arts company.
This “Gameloft Ltd” company apparently also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Hay Day and Injustice Among Us. It is obvious that the three games mentioned are actually made by different companies.
Curiously, there’s another “Plants vs Zombies 2” by Heather Kountz at Google Play. This “Heather Kountz” also makes games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition, Clash of Clans and Injustice Among Us.
Shocking!
Few days later, both “Gameloft Ltd” and Heather Kountz” disappeared from Google Play, conveniently replaced by “Suzanne Lally” and “EA Games Apps”.
Please be careful downloading Apps from Google Play. Watch for the impostors.

The news broke in the morning of Friday August 23, 2013 that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has decided to retire within the next 12 months.
From Ballmer’s internal email:
I am writing to let you know that I will retire as CEO of Microsoft within the next 12 months, after a successor is chosen. There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time. My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our transformation to a devices and services company focused on empowering customers in the activities they value most. We need a CEO who will be here longer term for this new direction.
It is also clear that Microsoft at this point does not have a succesion plan.
From Microsoft Press Release:
The Board of Directors has appointed a special committee to direct the process. This committee is chaired by John Thompson, the board’s lead independent director, and includes Chairman of the Board Bill Gates, Chairman of the Audit Committee Chuck Noski and Chairman of the Compensation Committee Steve Luczo. The special committee is working with Heidrick & Struggles International Inc., a leading executive recruiting firm, and will consider both external and internal candidates.
So, who would be the next Microsoft CEO? Let’s the speculation begin!
Under Ballmer’s helm, Microsoft has been a generally profitable company with some notable exceptions such as the first few years of XBox project and Surface RT. Notably, Microsoft is actually making profit off Android.
In addition to that, Ballmer had failed to see the competitive threat from Apple.
Yet another Malware sighting, and this one disguised itself as “System Care AntiVirus”. I use both Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials to get rid it. Internet Explorer seems to be the entry point of this Malware on this particular computer.
Many sites report that Apple seeded OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 6 on Wednesday August 21, 2013.
