Bleep bloop. Twee. Pew pew.
Egadz is a glitch musician, using video game sounds and samples to create original electronica music. He’s been at it for a while, with a number of releases–some from as far back as 2002–to his credit.
Today, however, Egadz has released an mobile game, with a version on Android, iOS, and Windows 8, based on his new single, “Ghosts,” the video of which can be seen below.
Juniper networks today announced its third annual report on the malware threats to mobile consumers. The report shows a swift growth in mobile malware, indicating a potentially profitable business for malware creators and mobile attackers.
With Best Buy and even Apple itself offering deep discounts on iPhones, it seems like everyone is getting into the act. AT&T just announced a plan to offer users a trade-in plan for up to fifty percent off online or in-store purchases of mobile devices like the iPhone 5, Galaxy S4, or HTC One when an older phone is traded in towards the purchase.
Things slowing down a bit?
According to a report on a Korean information technology news site, Samsung is planning to reduce the monthly production of the flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone by up to 15 percent, and may even retire the S3 model sooner than originally planned.
The site points to the July order for Galaxy S4 parts, which is half the number of parts placed in May, at 6.5 million handsets ordered. The parts order for April was for 10 million handsets, but has been declining since then, according to ET News.
With all the brouhaha over PRISM and internet security lately, it might be time to seek out some instant messaging apps that can handle “off the record” messaging. Google’s chat does this transparently when using the web-based client via Gmail, and Mac and PC apps like Adium can handle the encryption as well.
Interestingly, Google’s own Hangouts app, at least on my iPhone, isn’t able to. You just get the raw encryption, which just looks like random text, which is what it’s supposed to be.
We got an email today, though, from Shape Services, the developers of IM+ and IM+ Pro, saying that there’s a in-app purchase that adds this encrypted chat to their apps, both on Google Play and iTunes.
Better yet? Starting tomorrow, the in-app purchase, regularly $4.99, will be free.
