Magic Vs Technology - Funny !!

Its an interesting question. What wins in a battle of Magic vs Technology. Sure a lot of people could say "Magic is magic there's just something about it that can't be beaten its mystical." But when you break it down how much different are there results?

I'll use Samus and Master Chief as examples of the technology side.

• Magic Users can cast multitudes of projectiles. Fire, Ice, Lightning ect.
• Samus can shoot Plasma, Ice, Wave ect.

• Magic Users can cast Barriers to protect themselves.
• Technology can grant advanced armors and shielding. Or even better the Lamda Driver which is a thought based energy shielding system.

• Magical Abilities are powered by Mana.
• Technology is powered by Energy/Electricity whatever.

• Magic Users can use Stat changing abilities making the target stronger.
• Technology can grant cybernetics, enhancements, steroids, Power Suits.

• Magic Users can use Stat changing abilities making the target weaker
• Technology has Chemical Warfare.

• Magic users can create armies of soliders
• Technology can clone armies of soliders

• Magic users can manipulate minds
• Technology can brain wash and also manipulate minds (Ex. Psi Emitters in Starcraft)

• Magic users can be Psychic
• Technology can grasp Psychic enhancements like the Ghosts in Starcraft, Zero System in Gundam Wing ect

To me Magic and Technology are pretty much even. Its just a matter of who posses the superior technology or magical abilities. A fireball to the face or a bullet to the head are both going to kill you. Its not like Magic or Technology is unbeatable anyways. The Zerg proved that when both Terran Technology and Protoss Magic/Technology were soundly defeated.

So lets get a good discussion here a balance on both sides. Pro's and Con's of Magic vs Technology. I think it could be interesting. But then again it might just not get one reply haha.

Gold-plated iPhone 5 goes on sale !! Wanna buy ?

Gold-plated iPhone 5 goes on sale 

If you thought that the iPhone 5 with its price tag, was as far as one could go with the word 'premium' or 'expensive', you have to read this. Liverpool designer, Stuart Hughes has his own version of the premium iPhone 5, that is all gold and diamond.

Reportedly, Hughes'd version of the latest iPhone has been decked in 18-carat gold and has gold and diamond finishing. Turn the phone over and you see the recognisable Apple logo, encrusted in diamonds. Hughes has on offer a limited edition of 100 handsets of this variety. Hughes' version of the iPhone 5 priced at a mind numbing £21,995 (around Rs 18,76,888). Indian Rupee

An excerpt from Hughes' website reads, "This beautiful handset took weeks of detailed intricate work to re-create the original chasis of the iPhone in solid gold all of which was started and finished by hand, also a full gold dressing for the rear section with the logo in solid gold with 53 flawless diamonds amounting to 1ct. This masterpiece boasts a massive circa of 128 grams of 18ct gold. The result was outstanding even down to the precise polishing to reveal its most beautiful harmonious appearance. The handset is 64gb and is available as a ltd edition of only 100."

This isn't Hughes' first attempt at adding bling to technology. Last year, he grabbed headlines when he made the Stuart Hughes’ version of the iPad 2, a snazzier sibling of the regular iPad 2, which you might want to own if you have £5,000,000 on you. For the rest of us, the iPad 2 Gold History Edition was just as exquisite, as it could possibly get.

However, with the iPad 2 Gold History Edition, gold and diamonds weren’t all; it came with a hint of history. The Apple logo that carefully rested at the back of Hughes’ version of the iPad 2 had been set with 12.5 carats of flawless diamonds, 53 of them encrusted to form the signatory Apple logo. The 24k gold logo has been set at the back, weighing a total of 2,000 grams. Its front frame has a touch of history to it.

It has been made out of the oldest existing rock, Ammolite. Apparently, on the front frame of this iPad 2, pieces of a T-Rex dinosaur’s thigh bone had been used, which according to Hughes, was splintered and shaved into the rock, and then given a jewel finish. Adding some bling is the single-cut, 8.5-carat flawless diamond beautifully set in the centre, surrounded by 12 other flawless diamonds.

In the meanwhile, here is a quick look at the specifications of the iPhone 5:

- 4-inch, 326ppi Retina display at 1136 x 640 pixels

- GPRS, EDGE, EV-DO, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, LTE and Wi-Fi

- GPS

- Bluetooth

- 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 720p front-facing camera

- 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions.

Angry Bird Lovers are angry with Piggies (New Version) !!!

Angry Bird Lovers are angry with Piggies (New Version) !!! : Review of Bad Piggies.

Bad Piggies V/s Angry Birds (Share your Views after Playing with Bad Piggies).

Piggies are not Real angry Birds…:P Angry Bird is introducing Bad Piggies on 27th, sept, 2012.

I would like to start my Post with Happy Birthday of GOOGLE. The King of Wooga (World of Gaming) n Rovio Inc. your guess is right it is ANGRY bird Game. It is favourite one and one of the largest playing game on the wooga. It is the Warrior of the Facebook and grabs more of the crowd when gamers started loving buy, wear its flip flops, tees n other accessories.

Rovio Inc. Launches a new version with Piggies that has proved a Flop show. Angry bird lovers are not ready to take this for next hit in the game.

The new game will feature pigs which strike back at the birds who attacked them with slingshots in Angry Birds.

A hit on app stores would give the Finnish company a boost as it looks to a possible stock market flotation next year. Some analysts put its market value at between $6 billion and $9 billion, nearly on a par with another top Finnish tech name, phone maker Nokia Oyj.

It has remained at the top of gaming charts, with more than a billion downloads, and had 200 million monthly users at the end of 2011. That compares for instance with the 240 million attracted by offerings from US-based Zynga, such as the Facebook -based Farmville.

But there are signs Rovio is losing its momentum.

Amazing Alex, the first non-Angry Birds game in more than two years from Rovio, hit no. 1 on download charts in July but has since slumped to outside the top 50, while Angry Birds Space has dropped fast from the top-grossing lists.

"Rovio needs a big hit right now. Over the past two months, Rovio's revenue-generation ability has suddenly slipped badly," said analyst Tero Kuittinen from Finnish mobile analytics firm Alekstra.

Power of Bad Piggies

In Bad Piggies, instead of shooting with a slingshot, players build vehicles that help the characters get the birds' eggs. The company said it was hoping the new game would breathe additional life into its brand.

Rating Agency on Launch

"There is no doubt that the pig game will hit number 1 at launch. But it has to stay in top ten for half a year to erase the doubts that the fast fade of Amazing Alex has created."

Some Angry News:

WILDLY POPULAR GAME Angry Birds is hurtling towards Xbox consoles, Playstation 3s and the Nintendo 3DS.

The game, well, the three games, will be released later this week and see the bird-brained fun rolled into one title.

Since most people will have already played Angry Birds by now, Rovio has added 19 new levels to the game and a slew of new achievements and trophies. It reckons that all this adds up to over 100 hours of gameplay, which is a lot of gameplay.

Note of the day: Popularity does not brings success it has to stick with quality for the prosperity.
