Microsoft asks: “Do we even need to build a better Xbox?”
“Apparently, big game producers are quite happy with the plateau console development has hit, and big names in the industry like Frank Gibeau, of EA said there’s not any kind of urgency for Microsoft or Sony to develop a new gaming system. His exact words were ‘It’s hard for me to conceive what you would do on a PlayStation 4,’ according to our source. ‘The displays are already 1080p, you’re already connected to the Internet. … You could make it faster, you could have more polys and you could up the graphics a little bit … but at what cost?’” Read more…

Unlock With WiFi for Android: Bypass lock screen when on home WiFi
When this cool app, Unlock With WiFi, senses your Android phone is on your WiFi “home” network, it bypasses the lock screen. When you’re at home, no more having to unlock your phone every time you pick it up. But when you are away, the lock screen behaves normally again, preventing others from getting into your phone.
I actually was not running with a PIN on my phone because constantly unlocking the phone at home was so annoying. Unlock With WiFi solves this beautifully.
With the paid version (which is what I run), you can set up multiple “home” networks, though I have not tried this yet. There are several other nifty features, some to help conserve precious battery life. All in all, the app is well worth its steep $4 price tag.
