Often new titles are released instead of adding more content to the previous one, as is the case with this saga, now in its fifth installment and apparently go further. More is not always better, it is something you should consider.


Snow Blade is the final name for the new batch of content landing in Dungeon Hunter 5, which implements a whole new system that allows players to join and form groups to attend scheduled events, where they can win exclusive prizes from normally they are not accessible in the game.


The unions now have their personal emblem, in order to stand out and wear the logo of their Houses, and a new chat dedicated for players to talk to each other privately. Another novelty is the design of Strongholds, which now are much more customizable and traps can be applied to form a strong defense and stop the other players to approach it.


As for the rest of new things, they have added 11 new armor and 11 guns, in order to enjoy the three new single-player missions that are already available. In short, there is new content for bounty hunters, new rooms, daily events, new creatures, weapons and armor, challenges, missions and of course bug fixes and improved stability.

Ōura, a ring to register our activities day and night

About smart rings companies are not revealing many details lately, but all efforts are on wearables. Anyway, there are already some smart rings being developed, from very simple proposals to open doors via NFC, to a device capable of displaying notifications, reaching Nod, which can control other devices from gestures. The one today is called Ōura, and wish to register our activities.


This is possibly the easiest functionality to see inside a small device, since among all phones, personal quantifiers, or watches, have helped develop the motion sensors in limited space, but then to put it in a ring, always it should be viewed as an interesting development.

Ōura provides a device capable of recording physical activities, also monitor how is our dream, without using a bracelet, which is the most common place we've found so far. Depending on the user, you may find it more comfortable to sleep with a ring than with other wearable.


While some try to fix it, as Intel, the designs are usually quite "technology", even sports, so in Ōura decided to design something that went unnoticed in this direction, creating a ring with clean lines. The forms are responsible for the Harri Koskinen and Kari Kivelä Finnish industrial designers.

The chassis is constructed in ring ceramic - from zirconium - either closed to be water resistant, and as hard as steel. Inside are sensors to record movements, heart rate sensor, and space for a battery that has autonomy for three days, and can be charged in half an hour. Display box acts as a charger.


Ōura will be on sale in October - reserves since July - at a price of $250 in the United States. There will be a fairly broad range of sizes and two colors to choose: black glossy or matte white.

Patterns, animated wallpaper that meets your interactions

The wallpapers are something very classic and used for some time, but with new technologies and customization that supports Android has become a very easy method to change the look of your phone in a simple and fast way, suitable for all tastes, shapes and colors.


As you know, occasionally we bring different methods of customization but few are the times that come in alternative scene as animated wallpaper, which have many positive points and negatives too, including consumption generated, depending on the app itself it affects our autonomy.


Highlights and relevant to the naked eye are its abstract forms, which can choose between 20 different variants, all handmade in complete three dimensions and customize the colors of this to your craving if you do not want full use in shuffle mode.


One of the most important and original features is that the animation generate yourself by swiping your finger across the screen of your terminal, as might be the move between different home screens or own gestures of some widgets. Furthermore, although the application is optimized everything as possible to battery consumption, as they say in the font are other aspect as about 50 MB of permanent RAM in use, or even some that another unexpected closure, although the latter is more punctual.

However, this is not sufficient reason or downplays, since the RAM if you own a terminal midrange or high should not be a concern, we currently have around 2 to 4 GB. If you want to try it, there is a free version available, and also the paid version with all options.

Emoji Passcode, a system of authentication with emojis

Emoji Passcode is the initiative of the British technology firm specializing in the banking world Intelligent Environments.


The proposal of Intelligent Environments aims to replace the use of four-digit PIN on the banks by the use of 4 emojis. Of course, it is a curious proposal for authentication for banks, while it may be extravagant entrance, is more secure than PIN in classical form. The reason is simple. It is the possibility of using different combinations of emojis as 480 times greater than using digits. Specifically, we refer to the possible permutations that arise from the 44 icons included in Emoji Passcode.


However, although safety is paramount in this way to authenticate, is not everything. The solution of Intelligent Passcode for banks has a second virtue. It is that it is easier for people to remember images than numbers, or at least so as a rule. Therefore, simplicity and security are the two keys of Emoji Passcode. Finally, note that there is still no bank that use passwords such as authentication, and really did not want the company to patent the system, noting that it is available to any bank that wants to implement it.

An image of a supposed prototype of the Motorola Moto G 2015 is leaked

A member of the Motorola Moto G family is back in the news. The last time that happened was when recently, this month, it was communicated that the Motorola Moto G 4G first generation received Android 5.1 Lollipop. This time the protagonist of the article is the Motorola Moto G 2015 or Motorola Moto G third generation. About it there is no official data, but since last month are all kinds of rumors as when it appeared in an online store. This wave of rumors is not surprising, since Motorola smartphones have much anticipation for their value, and we have been unprecedented as the Motorola Moto X 2015 and new Motorola Moto 360.


For several hours, the Internet is in full swing by leaking the image of a supposed prototype of the aforementioned Motorola Moto G 2015, digital media and many foreigners have collected images of what would be the next midrange Motorola. Specifically what you can see in the picture is the back of the Motorola Moto G third generation, which would be made of plastic but trying to emulate the look of carbon fiber. Most notable that conclusion can be drawn as glancing at the picture is that the camera would have a location and a design similar to that seen in the filtration of Motorola Moto X 2015 and would have dual LED flash.


Finally say that this leak of Motorola Moto G 2015 in the back, joins another preview of the front of the terminal where you could see a couple of interesting details. We refer to the use of the numbering XT1543 and Android 5.1.1 operating system. Besides images, the Internet is rumored as possible specifications 5 inch 720p screen, Snapdragon 610 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 4G connectivity and cameras of 13 and 5 megapixels. As always, we encourage you to not take seriously all this info because there is no official confirmation or a presentation by the developer of the terminal, in this case Motorola.

Spotify 3.1 Beta: Audio and video shows, running option and new Now start page

The streaming music service is still the most popular and updated although everyday new competitors are coming, such as Line Music or Tidal. The reason why Spotify is here is that the app is already going through the network an updating to the version 3.1, which at the moment is in beta. The news that brings are not few.


In the visual, with Spotify 3.1 Beta you will see a clear change in the visuals of the application, but still no go for the design lines of the Material Design of Google. As told in Android Police three are the new features included. The first one would be a personalized cover with the name of Now. That means that every user will find recommended music in a personalized way depending on factors such as personal taste, mood or time of day. The second novelty, and perhaps most importantly: Spotify finally integrates streaming video and multichannel audio (podcasts).


The third novelty is not as significant as the previous two, but the fact is that it gives some extra life to the app, and sure to delight lovers of the sport. It is that Spotify 3.1 Beta integrates a mode called Running Spotify that offers energic music ideal for the moments when you need to exercise and some motivation.

Google could be working on an applications streaming service from the cloud

According to a new report by The Information, Google may be working on a streaming service for applications from the cloud. That is, users have access to Android applications and games from anywhere, without having to download and install on your device. Only an Internet connection would be necessary.


This would be a similar service already offered, for example, for NVIDIA, and called NVIDIA Grid, through which users can play games in the cloud, without having to download anything else. According to the source, this move by Google would be closely related to the purchase of Agawi, a company that is dedicated to just streaming services via the web. In addition, it is said that before this acquisition, Agawi have collaborated with NVIDIA in the aforementioned gaming service in the cloud.


Of course, it is clear that the resources to give life to this technology already exist, because through NVIDIA Grid can run intensive-graphics games (many triple A) and HD resolution perfectly, with the only requirement of a connection with 10 Mbps downstream, a router with 5 GHz band, and a good ping. In the case of Google, surely the requirements may be lower, because it makes sense that an Android app does not need more speed than games of that caliber.


A system of streaming applications by Google multiply the options for users, both when using apps like playtime. In addition, a key factor to consider is that any device, regardless of its power and other capabilities, could run all applications and games. In a streaming service in the cloud, the only important thing is the quality of the Internet connection.

Youtube Newswire, the Google and Storyful video news source

n recent years we are witnessing a number of revolutions and social changes in many countries that are driven by the Internet and especially on social networks. From Cairo to Madrid, there have been demonstrations that sought to change things and whose average used to be called was Twitter, then leaving all these facts in videos that were subsequently posted on YouTube and shared on Facebook.


Internet plays a very important role, and YouTube probably count on one of the best positions today to keep abreast of the news happening around us. At Google knows that and has decided to launch YouTube Newswire today, the new tool with which we can be aware of everything at all times. For its new tool, YouTube has partnered with Storyful, social news agency with which they have collaborated since the Egyptian revolution began in Tahrir Square, around the year 2011.


YouTube Newswire is a news feed that will be showing the most outstanding videos and containing a higher information content, thus allowing us to keep up with everything that happens in our world and ends up on YouTube. With this service, YouTube hopes to provide journalists with a powerful tool that will allow them to discover all the great news about events happening around the world.


Furthermore, the possibility that Newswire will display a feed with the most important worldwide news, but also the most important regional videos as well can be aware of what goes on around you easily and quickly. No doubt that we have a powerful tool that can be of great help to everyone, both reporters for news as users looking to stay abreast of what is happening in the world.

Square Enix confirmed a Final Fantasy VII remake for smartphones

It has been one of the most commented news during the week. There will a rework for one of the best RPGs of all time. Considered by many as the masterpiece of Square Enix (even though some of us think it of the Final Fantasy VI), the company revealed a trailer for the remake to come of Final Fantasy VII, confirming what we all wanted, a remake of the adventures of Cloud and company.


But the story does not end here, because you will have to save Midgar again from the clutches of the tyrannical Shinra with art graphics, also have the possibility to fulfill this goal in our smartphones. This was confirmed by Android Authority in words of Shinji Hashimoto of Square Enix. The seventh installment of Final Fantasy will have Android version, but this time it will be a port of the original of 1997.


We will be Cloud again, and he is member of Avalanche, a group that is responsible for make things difficult to Shinra, a multinational that is slowly killing the planet. The story is much more complex than meets the eye and keep us trapped for many hours.


Regarding the news, it is worth noting some details. While it is possible to play Final Fantasy VII in our smartphones through an emulator, it never hurts companies like Square Enix bet on Android. On the other hand, it is necessary that the title holder stored in the cloud, since many hours of playing could be lost for any undesirable reason. Finally, knowing the Japanese company and the hype generated by everything related to Final Fantasy VII, we expect a price of around 15 dollars, a price that will worth it once tested on your mobile phone.


But not all are good news. Square Enix said that Final Fantasy VII will hit the phones this summer, although so far only to iOS. Android users will have to wait a little longer. Hopefully the wait worthwhile and that this is the beginning of the arrival of many other games like Final Fantasy VIII and IX or the incredible Xenogears.

Twitter tests app install card to advertise applications in profiles

Though many users navigate daily for Twitter to read what other users or news say, the company is not going through a good moment. On the New York Stock Exchange Twitter had very low numbers and after the resignation of Costolo, former CEO, they are now looking to monetize everything possible to restore the faith of investors.


The way to get the confidence of buyers again in the stock market is to provide good services and new functions. Now it seems that Twitter will advertise applications profiles. This is what they wanted to try on Twitter, in its version for iOS (if the experiment works it will be in other platforms) incorporating a card that redirects the user from a Twitter account that in this case we see is The New York Times, in its application to mobile devices. But not only regarding news accounts, but in application profiles as Periscope or Vine.


This method of listing applications for download is a good way to get income, but ask that to Facebook. If introduced beyond Twitter profiles, it might be a good amount of profit through advertising applications. Many users will disagree with this series of advertising on the mobile application but they need to look further at the company. There are good times to offer such a service and maintain tweets when incomes are low.


This novelty is for now only in the version for iOS but will be for Android users if all goes well. Now only hope that Twitter check if thus publicizing applications even suggesting a series of them according to our tastes, can regain investor confidence.

YouTube Gaming, Google's new weapon to face Twitch

Video games are one of the segments within the fastest growing on the Internet, thanks to which users are coming up to related content either through capture and streaming content. Here Twitch is the master of this kind of services, so there were many that wanted to take part of the platform, but finally was Amazon that managed to close the purchase.


A service of this kind would not be alone for long (that was clear), and after several rumors and speculations Google makes official its video platform designed for content of video games, YouTube Gaming is official and wants to face Twitch by domain users and creating content.

YouTube Gaming will be an independent site based on Google service, because here they will find tools for users to upload and broadcast live all types of content based on video games. A movement more than obvious by Google, as many of their YouTubers have chosen to migrate to Twitch by the ease and scope of the platform.


YouTube Gaming will have mobile applications, user channels, custom links to share items and all will be classified according to the game, starting with a catalog of over 25,000 titles.

The interesting thing here is to know the strategy of Google to attract gamers and leave Twitch, since the goal of this service is to have users viewing content and content to show advertising.


YouTube Gaming will be available in the coming days by the time the United States and the UK, but it is expected later this year to be launched in more countries.
