Busting New Features of iOS 5 at WWDC 2011

The WWDC is happening at San Fransisco right now as I am blogging now, and I am here to tell you about the new features of the iOS 5 announced at the conference. According to the announcement, the new iOS will contain about more than 200 new features and they have discussed about 10 of them in detail, which include:

1. Notifications: The new iOS will contain a new notification system which will be less ineruptive than the previous notification system i.e. will show messages and other notifications in the top of the screen, not disturbing what you are doing.
2. News stand: You can consider this as the iBooks app for reading newspapers and magazines.
3. Twitter: Twitter on iPhone has made a major remodel for the new iOS, it will be integrated into the basic apps, such as camera, contacts etc.
4. Safari: Safari includes new features such as story mode and better tabbed browsing. Tabbed browsing also has quicker tab switching mechanism.
5. Reminders: You know what the name says, a reminder app, which is juiced up to remind you even if you leave a place by setting up a geographic wall, along with lots of other features.
6. Camera: This old time favorite baby now includes automatic enhancements and a load of smart features such as using the volume up button for taking a picture. You can also go the camera app quicker than ever directly from the lock screen.
7. Mail: Mail has recieved more features such as rich text formatting and MIME.
8. Game Center: More game center updates include better way of finding friends and downloading games directly from game center.
9. iMessage: Similar to iChat but far more better iPhone and iPad buddy connecting device.
10. PC-Free: This is one of the most awesome features. They claimed that PC is going out of existence and that people prefer only an iPhone or an iPad in their hand. So, the new iOS is bringing an PC free system. You have no need to setup your iPhone initially. It will be unlocked without even connecting to the PC.

Other new exciting features include a new and improved UI, Airplay mirroring and much awaited WIFI syncing. The iOS 5 will be available for iPhone 3gs and onwards. According to the announcement, it will be available this fall.

Witcher 2 Problem Fixes - Patch error, Slow FPS, Crash

Witcher 2 is a recent game that is really hitting the trends off by giving us brilliant visuals. The game is simply awesome on even the lowest settings. You will definitely kiss your PC when you see the sun rays passing through you and other objects. But this freakishly awesome game is getting many number of errors which are almost all easy to fix.

Patch Errors: Once the game is installed you might have to download a patch that is done automatically, but the real problem starts when the patch is installed. It might rise some Appdata errors or incomplete and invalid game errors. First of all locate the downloaded patch file, it is in the "The Witcher 2" folder in you "My Documents". The fix: try installing the patch in a user account that is not password protected but also has administrator rights, try installing the patch from within the game folder. If all fails, try re-installing the game under the directory name "Witcher 2" and then running the patch setup.

Low FPS: This is most common among Nvidia card users. It seems that the Nvidia 3D vision drivers are interfering with the games performance heavily thus resulting in a very low FPS. I was only able to get about 5 FPS even in the lowest settings and lowest resolution. But after uninstalling my 3D vision drivers, I was able to get about 20-30 FPS even in the highest settings, more than enough for playing this beautiful game. Also disable ubersampling if you want to get even more FPS, remember ubersampling reduces the FPS to half of what you get without it. The game rocks well on my core2quad, GTS 250 with 1440x900 resolution, so I guess an average card is enough to play the game with the high settings.

Crash: If your game gets random crashes to the desktop and your running a 32 bit Windows 7 or Windows Vista, and having around or above 3 GB RAM, you will need to enable 3GB switch to fix it. To enable the 3GB fix, open command prompt in the administrator mode and type the following command, " bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072 " and hit enter. Then restart your computer and start the game to see it run without any crashes. To turn the 3GB switch back off, type, " bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa " and restart the computer.

As for the game, the game is really wonderful game, so enjoy it....!!!

Windows 7 - Software Installation Problem

It's common all over, some of your older programs have trouble running on windows 7. Even some of the newer driver may show installation errors in your windows 7 machine when you try to install them on an account which is password protected. The reason behind this is some of the software installation procedure utilizes a folder known as AppData. Since your account is password protected, it cannot be easily accessed by the running program. All you need is another account which has administrative privileges and not password protected. This might sound a little odd, but its what worked for me and everywhere around. The newer software don't have these problems, it's majorly found among the older software.

iTunes 10.2.2 - Jaibreak Safe

Apple had released iTunes version 10.2.2, with some of the minor improvements. For all the jailbreakers outside it is safe for you to upgrade to this version i.e. it is jailbreak safe. As for iPhone 4 users, who are waiting for the iOS 4.3.2 untethered jailbreak, redsn0w version 0.9.6 rc14 has been released, which fixes the problem of jailbreaking the iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.2. Happy jailbreaking.

Crysis fans go Dull

Crysis 2 had been really creating the hype that it was supposed to, even the beta build that was released, with directx 9, the visuals was amazing. But the fans were shocked to see that the release of the game was also with directx 9. The fans were all expecting to the stunning visuals of cryengine 3 in the latest directx 11, but all that was left with them was the same good old directx 9. Even with it, the game looks great, but still, the mind knows that it is directx 9, thus refuses to accept the stunningness. The company has announced that it would release a directx 11 patch soon enough, but by the looks of it, there might be a gap of 2-3 weeks before it comes out.

Fans Win Over Piracy

One of the highest anticipated game of 2011 "CRYSIS 2" is just around the corner, and just as it was creating the hype about it, some guy released a beta test version of the game online about a month ago. Apart from movies, games are the largest downloaded files in the torrent database. But then, this game , which was feared to become the largest pirated game by beating the record created by the call of duty series, didn't become so  The fans of the game didn't even support the pirated version. Even the persons who downloaded it have commented that they will purchase the original version of the game. This game has set s new standard in digital rights by not even setting heavy and idiotic DRM as other current games do.. Crysis 2 has again set a standard in anti-piracy, a feat no other game has ever achieved.
