FarmVille 2 By Zynga Is Here

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 06:45 AM PDT

There are always two types of users as far as FarmVille is concerned. One who play FarmVille and absolutely love it and the other who are sick of invitations of FarmVille from there friends. It is one of those games where you will very rarely find a person who has no opinions about. Personally I am in the second category, but what that does mean is that despite never playing the game, I am well aware of its popularity and exactly what happens there. I guess, its safe to say that game developers and the promoters have done an extremely good job. However, if you were bored of FarmVille, here is FarmVille 2 by Zynga to to get you back into the loop, all over again.

The sad news though is that if you have spent months on end building up the farms and setting up and harvesting your crops, they will not be usable on the new game version, which means that you have to start all over again. This clearly shows that the game is entirely different from the first version and thats how it should be looked at. The game is expected to bring 3D graphics and a whole lot of better social connections, which is fairly baffeling because the game is one of the best socially connected ones around.

There are no more details around of the game at least as of now. However you can follow up at the FarmVille 2 fan page on Facebook here. What are your views on the game? Do let us know in the section below.

Zynga Set To Bring Draw Something And Words With Friends To Windows Phone 8

Google Nexus Tablet 7 Confirmed By Asus Executive

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 06:16 AM PDT

The main attraction of the about to start Google I/O Conference is the Nexus 7 inch tablet manufactured by Asus. It would be Google’s first tablet with their Nexus Branding. The tablet was first spotted in a benchmark test and then later on the specs were all but confirmed. Few images of the tablet were leaked too. The rumored specs and images of the device can be found here.

However, there were no official words about the tablet, untill an Asus executive himself all but confirmed that the tablet is indeed coming. Here is exactly what he had to say "It's targeting Amazon," the unnamed executive told Reuters. "The Kindle is based on Google's platform but with its own service, so Google has to launch its own service, too."

Reuters have reported through the following statement that the tablet is all set to take on Kindle rather than the undisputed king of tablets that is the iPad.

“Google Inc will soon unveil a tablet co-branded with Taiwan's Asustek Computer Inc and priced to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire device, an Asustek executive said on Wednesday.”

The date or the price expected at the launch are still pretty much unknown about the tablet, but it is rather safe to safe that with Kindle Fire stalling a little bit, the Nexus Tablet is more than likely to do very well in the market.

What are your views regarding this tablet? Do let us know in the section below.

Skype has now become the most preferred Messenger for communication across the world. Ever since its launch it has been adopted for both personal and professional use. It was acquired by Microsoft since then it has a large network which is growing larger day by day. Skype is not limited to just instant messaging but it can be used for making voice calls to landlines and mobiles at nominal charges. Like Gmail, Yahoo and other major instant messengers Skype also doesn't allow running multiple instances but there are workarounds for this.

You can either opt for manual methods which are quite tiring and difficult or use Multi Skype Launcher which is a free software. It is compatible with windows XP, vista and windows 7. To run this program you should have at least a .NET framework 3.5 and Skype 4.0 Installed on your Computer.

How to Use Multi Skype launcher?

Installation is pretty straight forward and during this process it will give the option to install G launcher. G launcher is a standalone application that can record your Skype conversations. It is completely the user's choice whether to have this application or not.
When you will run the program it will ask for your Skype login credentials. Enter your details and click on OK button. Similarly you can add more accounts.
To open an account, select the account and click on Launch button. Your account will open in a new window. Repeat this process to open more accounts.
Multi Skype Launcher is completely safe and you login details are never shared.

Print From Your Tablet Wirelessly With AirPrint

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 04:48 AM PDT

If you are at pace with the technological world and possess latest gadgets then surely an iPad or any tablet might be a part of your possessions. You might be undermining your device’s potential if you use it only for fun and games. These devices are amazing entertainment packs, no doubt about it but it’s high time you tapped the other resources from your gadget.

A mix of downloading the right apps and getting the necessary accessories can deliver with such smoothness and promptness that you probably won’t believe what you just accomplished. There is an array of jobs you never knew your device could do but with some amazing apps and add ons it seems everything’s possible, ranging from making and projecting presentations to importing photos from digital camera to wireless printing.

Apple’s devices have recently come up with a unique feature called AirPrint that allows you to print document, emails, web pages and photos over a wifi connection with your iPad, IPhone or iPod touch. What’s great news is the fact that you no more need to buy an AirPrint enabled printer to get the job done. AirPrint activator is a software that lets you print using an ordinary printer also. AirPrint activator v2.2b5 is compatible with macs running OSC Lion 10.7 and OSX snow leopard 10.6. Those users using Mac can download the software from here.

Run it on your Mac and all the printers including those on the local area network will be available for use on your iOS device. Both the devices must be on the same wifi connection.

Those of you using windows can download AirPrint activator iOS5_v2.6 from the German website here.

You can use the google translate to figure out the installation guide. Make sure that AirPrint.exe is not blocked by windows firewall and neither are the ports that are listed on the site. Enable printer sharing. Enable Guest account.

If you are ready to spend to get the best in the market then yoh can get Print Central and Print n Share from the iTunes store. If you get an AirPrint enabled printer then we would suggest this link although there are loads of them nowadays.

So hope this helped you so that in the future you are always ready to print it on the go.
