The official helmet of Mega Man is a reality

Capcom has finally created an official Mega Man helmet, giving us the excuse to never discover our head anymore. Sometimes we talk about developments and wonder "How come no one has thought of it before?". 

That's the case with this helmet of Mega Man, the protagonist of the saga of the same name and probably the most famous character of Capcom (apart from fighters of Street Fighter). Unfortunately Mega Man has been somewhat abused by Capcom in recent years; the latest installment of the saga was the retro self-tribute to Mega Man 10 which came out in 2010.

At least it keeps coming merchandising, as this official helmet of Mega Man, toys and stuffed animals, ideal for the nostalgic. The town also appears that is beautifully designed, created in high quality ABS plastic.

We can take off and put on the helmet easily with a hinge design, and has LED lights on the sides, so we can use it as a decorative object or put it and go jumping around while we fired our cannon arm. Of course, it gives some fear that Capcom has not announced the price, only the helmet will be available for booking at the official store, so you can wait for the worst.

New Android malware: a fake NES emulator that steals information and makes you pay

We must always be careful when downloading an application from dubious origin (see Identify potential malware for your Android device), because it can be a common method to get malware ready to steal our information, or a way to subscribe to premium SMS or make us pay for something we should not and we do not wanted to when download it. Google has its own antimalware security systems, but something always manages to dodge the safety analysis that Google Play makes to all applications, and this time the alarms have jumped a big way.

This time the danger is for several reasons, because it contains all the potential pitfalls you want to avoid. The application is a seemingly helpless NES emulator, which in principle should not be dangerous, but when we installed are already committed, since the application will start sending our personal information without permission, which is illegal entry. Apart from that, if we are in a place other than China, we will add a list of premium SMS with our bill that could seriously increase our spending if we do not realize and do not cancel it.

It does not end there, because the application also force us to make a payment within the app, no promises to finish running. Payment is made through Paypal or Moneybookers and payment round the 0.49 dollars, something really suspicious, because the payments must be made through Google Wallet so you have greater control on the part of the application store.

It's never a bad time to remember to be careful with the applications, whatever it may be. It is true that Google Play is an environment with a high percentage of safety, with numerous measures to protect users, but there is always a way to bypass the controls, so caution through common sense is always short. It never hurts to sign up to install an antivirus on our smartphone or tablet and always review comments if given some notice.

Facebook threat to Youtube in the battle for online video

It might seem surprising that Facebook ended up becoming a threat to YouTube when many of the videos you see on the website of Google come to us precisely from the social network, but in recent months Facebook has begun an offensive to gain a foothold as a platform for video posting, where until now YouTube reigned without competition. So far, because Facebook threats YouTube seriously.

In just over a year the amount of videos posted directly on Facebook has exploded. According to Fortune magazine, in February 2014, only 25% of the videos that were posted on the social network climbed there directly, the rest came from other linked sites, especially YouTube. Today, the figure is 70%.

Gradually, the social network has been improving its interface to upload and share videos, but that's not the only advantage, also has a veritable arsenal of big data to know in detail the tastes and interests of its users and their behavior. For example, Facebook recently announced a change in its algorithm to show more related videos that you expanded to view in full screen to watch in HD or activate sound, but then you gave it or not a 'Like' or comments.

YouTube is too dependent on social networks such as Facebook or Twitter to generate traffic. With both platforms working hard to improve their systems for video, audio-visual portal of Google could receive a torpedo at the waterline, and Facebook is about to arrive, if not already here.

Internet changes everything at the speed of light, and a butterfly flapping its wings in Facebook can cause a storm in YouTube, and more if instead of being a butterfly it is actually a shark. Google has tried to manage this with Google+, but the reality is different and what seemed impossible a few months ago is now a reality: Facebook not only looks ready to do battle with YouTube but it has certain advantages. Definitely it is going to be a fun fight.

YouTube for Android Wear can be a reality

Developers are free to create whatever they want. That's why we see in Android a huge amount of applications and some, in the opinion of many, a bit useless. Android Wear, Google's operating system for wearable devices also has some apps of dubious utility.

In this application, whose name is Video for Android Wear&YouTube, you can dictate what you want to search, play, move through the video and access more videos. But what is most surprising is certainly Chromecast support. Sliding sideways a couple of times we are able to send content to our Chromecast and view it from there. In short, play YouTube videos on your Android smartwatch.

A somewhat 'crazy' idea by the developer that took place as a video on such a small screen as watches has, even if it has Android Wear; it seems meaningless. On the other hand, we see some use for compatibility with Chromecast because if you are with friends and you want to show something from the watch you can.

We talk about a free application that can be installed from now to test it on your Android Wear. If you really want to play video on your watch, it is important that you have linked to the Bluetooth speakers or headphones. Otherwise you will not be able to hear it.

Available the first trailer for Minecraft: Story Mode

Minecraft, based on the hit video game of pixelated look and immersive world of cubes has had a big impact in its short life, being one of the best selling in history, so even to be acquired by Microsoft.

Therefore Telltale Games, a leading company at present to base their titles in various sagas as Game of Thrones or Borderlands, has shown the first trailer for the acclaimed Minecraft: Story Mode. Trailer that had its presentation in the event of MINECON, which has left some first impressions of what we will know soon in the new game that will be available on Android.

While Minecraft is known for its freedom in a world virtually unlimited, you enjoy this first of a story mode, but different from what we can deduce all at first. Of course the issue is more than true to the title, based on the known buckets and pixels but with a fictional story created by Telltale Games has no reference to the original, which could even position as a tribute.

In detail, this will follow the theme of the previous games like The Walking Dead, in which decisions are a key aspect and will determine the development of the story live, among other platforms, in our Android terminal. It seems that also respect the enmity of the characters with the original Minecraft monsters, but do not know so much if they are the ones who try to hinder our history and experience.

Too many unknown questions in the air, but far less interesting to enjoy this minute and achieved through the setting that has been gifted the title. Hopefully the lovers of this game will enjoy something unique, because the hopes are very high and it will be decisive.

Google Hangouts is updated to version 4.0

Instant messaging has become a key and indispensable application in any terminal today, as is the case of Hangouts, but not ignoring calls and allowing us to communicate easily and practically free by messages.

Interestingly, while Google is a leader in multiple applications on your Android catalog, for one reason or another their messaging app does not get any success against the WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram concerning, among others.

From now on the view is much cleaner and Material Design interface itself gives a modern touch, faster access to our terminal contacts and better way to introduce emojis and stickers, among other files to access our private chats.

Even enjoying the dialer that has been renovated to give a fresher image and provide greater functionality, but all of this has a downside, and it is that it is not yet time to enjoy it on Android, because curiously rather than our own operating system have decided to launch first on iOS.

On the other hand we do not know the release date, but is sure to reach the operating system first bite of the Apple and then to our beloved and friendly Android.

Hopefully the Mountain View giant will get the essence of success and put on the table an enviable and unique product, with which we enjoy a truly comprehensive functions, stable and rapid service, and something very important: free.
