Plants vs. Zombies 2
The highly anticipated sequel to Plant vs. Zombies finally released worldwide. Plants vs. Zombies 2 retains the same gameplay mechanics from the original and adds a few more. Unlike its predecessor, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is free to download and offers In-App-Purchases from the get go; this has drawn a lot of criticism from gamers. At a glance, it seems that the game requires players to buy certain plants with real money. In reality, the game offers impatient players a chance to buy the plants instead of earning them.
The initial release of Plants vs. Zombies 2 includes four different themes in “Crazy Dave’s Time-Space Taco Map”.
- Ancient Egypt
- Pirate Seas
- Wild West
- ??? (Mystery theme that might as well be set in the future or space)
Plants vs. Zombies 2 is a worthy sequel to a really fun game.

iOS 7 beta 6 and Some Made Up Stuff
Apple inadvertently exposed the made up news by BGR about the release of iOS 7 beta 6.
On Thursday Morning August 15, 2013 BGR “reported”:
In line with our earlier exclusive report on Apple’s plans for its iOS 7 beta software, we can now confirm that the final beta software release for developers will take place next week. Our sources have not confirmed which day, though Monday makes the most sense as it has been the typical release day in the past. After iOS 7 beta 6, Apple will be seeding a GM (gold master) version for its employees and partners to test starting around September 5th.
Then Apple released iOS 7 beta 6 to developers on Thursday afternoon. It seems that BGR took the two-week release cycle of iOS 7 beta and the semi-confirmed September 10th, 2013 Apple announcement then extrapolated the possible release date for iOS7 beta 6 and iOS 7 Golden Master.
Ouch!
Details on iOS 7 beta 6 are available on Apple Developer Website to paid developer membership.
Based on chatters among developers, there are some outstanding bugs in iOS 7 beta 5. Apple iOS team is working hard to meet the internal deadline squashing the showstopper bugs.
Apple is expected to publicly released iOS 7 within a week after the September 10, 2013 event.
Warner Brothers Sites are flagged by Google Chrome for Malware
Apparently part of Warner Brothers websites was compromised and used to spread malware. I stumbled upon this when I went to Pacific Rim Movie website (http://www.pacificrimmovie.com/) using Google Chrome.
By the way I have not watched Pacific Rim or any movies released this year in the theater.

Wrong Product Image
TUAW or The Uninformed Apple Weblog has done it again. Michael Grothaus uses the wrong AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule image on the recent post. The post contains the current 802.11ac models of AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule while referencing to the 802.11n AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.4.
It wouldn’t be a big deal for the product image mix-up if not for a site that called itself “The Unofficial Apple Weblog” and not knowing Apple Product.
Now, these are the correct images for 802.11n AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule:
