iPhone 5C

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 06:28:00 +0000

If you are seeking for a cheaper iPhone, you should give the iPhone 5C a shot but don't get your hopes up for this device as Apple might not even release it. The iPhone 5C is currently rumoured and Apple has not mentioned anything about it.
As I mentioned before, the characteristics of this device enhances my taste on the iPhone 5C as I only came here for the price. I'm not certain about the price yet but hopefully, it will reach my expectations. Coming from the cheap price point of view, Apple will obviously lower the specifications in order to subtract the price into an affordable package. If I ever get to review this device, I am planning to not be very critical with this as I am assuming Apple will not give any effort into the production. The only fact I know about the iPhone 5C is this phone will come in a different shell. Apple will obviously take aluminium of their list as it is quite pricy but hopefully they will choose an element that will be light and durable.
My knowledge with the iPhone 5C is very little but nevertheless the innovations that would be in the iPhone 5C I will sure admire.

New iPhone To Be Announced Soon

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:39:00 +0000

The sources told All Thing D that Apple is expecting the iPhone 6 or whatever Apple will call it will be announced publicly in Apple's Big iPhone Event on the 10th of September 2013. The date here is not official as Apple didn't clarify it themselves, but I am sure that in Apple's next conference, they will probably show a little sneak peek of what we will get on the next generation of iPhone.
The next iPhone should have a better camera, better handful of specs and it will obviously have the new official iOS 7. I don't really know what to expect on the new iPhone 6 or perhaps it will be called iPhone 5s but it's pretty exciting.

A famous YouTuber called "Shaycarl" produced a movie/documentary called "Vlogumentary". The Shaycarl community donated over $250,000 (USD) for this unbelievable project to happen.
The trailer premiered on "VidCon" which is a conference that gathers YouTubers, along with their fans to show friendship to each other and meet their role models. The trailer of Vlogumentary is now on YouTube and has over half a million views.
The documentary is about how YouTube has changed a lot of people's lives, fans and YouTubers collaborating in order to make a special event happen and YouTubers sharing their inspiring stories to the people that really needs it. The director of Vlogumentary, Corey Vidal, put all these pieces together and made an amazing outcome.

Nokia Mocks iPhone 5's Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 04:16:00 +0000

Nokia filmed an ad for their new Nokia Lumia phone, the 925 and Nokia's main message on their ad is "quality, not just quantity" as Apple quoted on one of their ads "Everyday, more photos are taken on the iPhone, than any other phones". Nokia is basically saying that their Nokia Lumia phones are better for taking photos than the iPhone 5.
Trying to illustrate the war between Nokia and Apple, it is in a quite a wild state, and this isn't the first commercial that Nokia made about how terrible the iPhone is. In the other commercial, Nokia made fun of the war between Apple and Samsung about how more and more people are buying iPhones and Samsung Galaxys/Notes, which caused a fight. Then Nokia said that the only way to bring peace is to buy Nokia Lumia phones. I really like Nokia's attitude towards Apple and Samsung (and other phone companies that have Android as their platform) as Nokia just goes for the gold, ignoring all the obstacles that might happen to their company. Believe or not, Nokia advertising these commercials make me feel like their trying to force me to buy their phones which I will, one day.

Google Nexus 7 - 2nd Generation Overview

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 06:17:00 +0000

The new Google Nexus 7 (2nd generation) is twice as better than the 1st generation. Google has now once again surprised us with the monstrous specs that comes in a small package. Everyone is so excited for this Google tablet so let's dig right into the specifications.
The device is a 7.02" tablet that has a whopping 1920x1200 HD display. I haven't tried this device yet on my hands but I expect the colors to be vibrant and the texts to be very crisp which I think will be. This tablet has a quad-core processor, similar to the 1st generation but this time, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor instead of the NVIDIA Tegra 3. The design itself is also quite similar as my first glance just saw the color black meaning that this device won't be coming in other colors like white which is quite disappointing (white devices are awesome!). The OS here is the new 4.3 Jellybean, not KeyLimePie which is again, disappointing because less special features are included in the User Interface and it is probably very similar to the 4.2. This is cheaper than the iPad Mini but I am still waiting for the 2nd generation, iPad Mini with the Retina Display.

3 More Avatars

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 23:25:00 +0000

The amazing James Cameron will not only be releasing one sequel and not even two sequels, but three sequels for the very successful Avatar. Hard work is required for the actors, directors, writers, producers and all the other people who are involved in the three films, as they will be filming the three sequels simultaneously. The first sequel's expected release date is December 2016.
James Cameron is actually gathering a group of highly trained and professional writers to work with him through the process of piecing the three sequels together. The writers that will be working with him are Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Shane Salerno (Armageddon, Savages) and the team of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), meaning that critics will have very high expectations within these movies. But the real question is, is it worth the wait?

Nokia Lumia 1020 Specs

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:58:00 +0000

The Nokia Lumia 920 was an amazing smartphone and I would say that the Lumia 920 is my favourite smartphone in 2012. Then Nokia announced a new member in the Lumia family several months later and the new family member is called the "Nokia Lumia 1020". Will it be better than the 920?

Camera:
The new Nokia Lumia 1020 certainly has the best camera in the market and here's why. The camera has 41 megapixels which is incredible and I was very impressed. I have very little knowledge with "megapixels" but I heard that megapixels isn't everything, which means that the hard and expensive work of fitting the massive 41 megapixels on the phone was led to uselessness. But since I am a casual consumer electronics, that is a very big deal to me. I have seen photos taken by the Nokia Lumia 1020 and the photos were quite clear and very crisp. I'd say that Nokia did a tremendous job with the camera on the 1020.

Screen/Display:
Screen-wise, the screen isn't great as the Samsung Galaxy S4 because the screen on the Lumia 1020 is not full HD. To be exact, the resolution on it 1020 is 768 x 1280 pixels. It has an AMOLED display and the glass on it is a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which I really love. The size of the screen is 4.5" which was the same as the Lumia 920.

Processor:
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has Dual-core 1.5 GHz which made me quite disappointed. I was expecting like a Quad-core processor but since Nokia worked very hard on the camera, it evens out the specs overall.

Battery:
The battery here is very good as it has 13.3 hours (3G talk time) which will probably last people a full day. The type of battery on the Lumia 1020 is a 2000 mAh battery.

Conclusion:
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has a great camera and that element is the only thing that impresses me, which is quite depressing as I expected a bigger and better display and a faster and better processor but since I love Nokia Lumia phones, this phone should last me a few years. This phone (in my perspective) is definitely better than the Lumia 920.

PS4 Overview

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:50:00 +0000

Exciting isn’t? After years and years, E3s and E3s and conferences and conferences of waiting, Sony have finally announced the console that we have been all waiting for and that is obviously the one and only, PS4.
The "PS4" name is a very typical name but it is far better than “Xbox One” which is a name I don’t appreciate and I really have no clue why they named it “Xbox One” so if I were them, I would change it immediately but it’s too late now. At least they didn’t name it “Xbox 3^rd Generation And This New Console From Microsoft Will Blow Your Socks Off And If You Buy This Console, You Will Get A Free Copy Of Microsoft Office 2013”. Going back to the PS4, the main improvement here is every improvement that Sony made to the PS4. This new console beats the Xbox One easily as its hardware, software and design are brilliant.

Controller:

The DualShock 4 controller for the PS4 is lighter, smarter and better than the DualShock 3 controller. The major attraction on the DualShock 4 controller is that it has a touchpad, copying the concept of the Vita, but this time, the touch pad is a little bit smaller. The controller still has the same concept as the DualShock 3 controller as Sony didn't mess with the button-locations. It also has the new "Share Button" and a lot more other cool features. The new DualShock 4 controller is sleek, beautiful and it is perfect for gaming.

Hardware:

The PS4 is a monster! And here's why:

- An eight-core X86 AMD Jaguar CPU

- 1.84-teraflop AMD Radeon graphics engine

- 8GB of GDDR5 memory

- 500GB hard drive

Just thinking about these specs makes me go crazy!

Design:
The PS4 has a very unique design. The PS4 itself is a parallelogram-shaped console which is very odd but very effective. I really adore Sony's perspective towards their future products as they characterized them with simplicity and effectivity. Basically, the PS4 has a very sleek design. Although the console doesn't really have textures on the shell, the console still looks great on a table.

Pricing:
It's really weird why Sony didn't include the Playstation Eye in the $399 (USD) package which is the reason why the Xbox One is $100 more expensive as Microsoft included the Xbox One Kinect in the starter package, but who really cares about "Motion Gaming"?

Conclusion:
PS4 is better than Xbox One and Wii U.

iOS 7

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 09:25:00 +0000

Finally, the future of iOS is here! After years of waiting for a redesigned iOS, it's finally here to completely change the way we use our iPhone. There is a lot to talk about here and obviously the biggest change to iOS 7 is the redesigned user interface.
I have been, too, waiting for a redesigned iOS for years but it seemed that the arrival of the "New iOS" will never reach its destination but it's here now so there is no need for me protesting. Anyway, my first impression about the new iOS 7 is "too simple" but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Apple Inc. likes their creations simple and that is one of the reasons why my interest in Apple improves everyday. I can really tell that Apple had passion making the new iOS and you may completely disagree with me. There are numerous innovations in the new iOS 7 but the element that stands out for me is the design as Apple focused on design more than the operating system itself. The icons, home screen, lock screen, applications and a lot more has been redesigned. Basically Apple redesigned iOS 7 from top to bottom. I am particularly excited about how this will feel in the hands and how this will change my user experience. I am also very eager to try out the "Control Center" as it will save me time from going to the Settings and changing the brightness or turning on the "Do Not Disturb". Experiencing this at first may seem odd and terrifying, but I should get use to it after a couple of weeks. I am quite excited about iOS 7 as I have not seen anything like it before. I might really hate it or I might really like it. I guess time will tell.

Google Glass

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:11:00 +0000

In the last three years, Google has been working hard on a product that blew my mind and that made me think what the future of technology can really do to our lives and that product is obviously the one and only, Google Glass.
Google's message about this product is our smartphones is basically a great big distraction to our lives and Google Glass is all about setting our selves inside our reality and our online social reality. Google has been trying to figure out how to collaborate these two elements in order to live our normal lives again, back in the day when smartphones weren't even invented. The possibility of this project is questionable but people say this project is tremendous.
After 3 years of fighting impossibilities, they have finally manufactured the right product that will change this world. I believe that Google Glass is going to take a great big step to the future of technology.
Digesting the elements of the Google Glass into our brain may be a challenge to all of us but it sure is going to be a fun one. Google Glass impresses me a lot and there is one more question in my mind that will last forever, what does the future of technology is going to hold next?

Asphalt 7 Review (iOS)

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 07:29:00 +0000

Asphalt 7 is the only game I am currently playing since March 2013. If I have to choose what device is perfect for this game, it will probably be the iPad because the graphics are just so much better on a bigger screen.
Asphalt 7 is a very fun and fast pace racing game which is more enjoyable than Real Racing 3, in my opinion. I am quite addicted to this game because it makes me want to unlock every single thing in the game.

- Graphics
The graphics in Asphalt 7 are great, for a mobile game. It is obviously not great as the Xbox 360 and the PS3 graphics but it will do for a portable console. The problems with the graphics is it isn't realistic enough and it is quite glitchy, although I can easily cope with those problems.

- Gameplay
The gameplay in Asphalt 7 is fun and fast. It is a very fast pace car racing game due to its nitrous boosts and the fastness of the super cars. I really love drifting in Asphalt 7 because it's easy and fun. Steering is very easy, all thanks to the gyroscope and the accelerometer. Steeering is also fun to use and very responsive.

- Addictiveness
I am quite addicted to this game because it really makes me want to unlock everything and plus, this is a very fun game which makes me want to come back to it. You will have several hours of gameplay which is awesome. You can go online with this game which adds more hours to your gameplay. I can get sick of this game if I play this 2 hours straight but on the next day, I am back to it.

- Overall
I recommend this game to all gamers that loves to have a little bit of a car race. It is a very fun and easy game to play and quite challenging at some stages. Asphalt 7 is probably the best car racing game in the App Store. This review is on my own opinion thoughts and if you hate this game, I am completely happy with you.

Score: 9/10

Finding Dory

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 05:55:00 +0000

It is official that there will be a Finding Nemo sequel called "Finding Dory". I think it's kind of weird when you think about the title of this movie but we should just wait and see. This movie will be showing in the cinemas (US) in the 25th November 2015.
I don't know anything about the movie yet but Andrew Stanton (the director of this movie) quoted...
"One thing we couldn't stop thinking about was why (Dory) was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In 'Finding Dory,' she will be reunited with her loved ones, learning the meaning of family along the way."
It sounds really exciting and I am definitely going to see this movie in the future. I also heard that all the characters from Finding Nemo will be back at Finding Dory like Nemo and Marlin which is great. Dory's voice will obviously be Ellen Degeneres, just like the first movie and Marlin will be Albert Brooks and so on and so on. Like I just said before, Andrew Stanton will direct this movie. He also directed Finding Nemo, WALL-E and John Carter so it will be very interesting how Finding Dory will come out.

Squid e-readers

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:30:00 +0000

An e-reader that produces squid ink instead of e-ink? Now that's what I call the future of technology. It is kind of weird that Japan announced an April fools joke, but still, I am quite proud of them. It will be so weird reading e-books on a plastic squid. I can almost imagine it reading on a squid in public, that will be super awkward.

The internet has a lot of surprises. One moment it's a war about who gets the first tweet about Barack Obama being the president again and another moment about who tells the funniest phone concepts which will go viral. That's why I love the internet so much.

Gmail Blue

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:11:00 +0000

Continuing from Google's enthusiasm with April fools, they sent a rumor about a new update for Gmail called Gmail Blue. They said that it will revolutionize the way we use email. They said that Gmail Blue will be more faster, more beautiful and more powerful.

So you maybe asking what else is new about Gmail Blue. The main thing about Gmail Blue is it's going to be blue.

Google obviously made a video about it so check it out down below, it's worth it.

YouTube Shutting Down

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 02:54:00 +0000

Before I continue, I would love to address that the whole thing about YouTube shutting down is a big misunderstanding. In other words, it's just an April fools joke. Now it's a perfect time to breathe and pretend that didn't happen. No, scratch that, that is probably one of the most memorable moment in the life of the Internet so I'll probably remember that for the rest of my life.
I really love how Google is very enthusiastic about April fools which makes everybody happy, maybe. They are probably doing this to tell us that they are not serious all the time and they do have a sense of humor.

There is a video clip down below about YouTube fooling us saying that they will be shutting down and YouTube will choose a video (which is the winner) that will get a very disappointing prize. It will take a decade and 30,000 staff members to choose the winner which is quite a long time but it will give them enough time to go through all the 1 billion videos in YouTube.

YouTube shutting down for real will be the saddest thing in life. I probably spend more than 2 hours on YouTube everyday so that means if YouTube shuts down, I'll be bored for the rest of my life. The people who uploads videos on YouTube for a living will lose their jobs which is very bad. Thankfully, that won't happen, hopefully.

My Dream Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:35:00 +0000

So far in life, there is not one phone that is the right phone for me although the Lumia 920 and the iPhone 5 is pretty close. The Lumia 920 is a great phone to me due to its design, operating system, "Gorilla Glass" screen and the camera.
The iPhone 5 is equally great to the Lumia 920 but the OS is much better. All because of the iTunes store and the App store. After talking about the positiveness about these two phones, I do have a love and hate relationship with the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 and if I get the chance of tweaking these two phones, I will:

improve the camera
add a quad-core processor to the phones
make it thinner and lighter
increase the size of the screen
improve the capacity of the battery
improve the screen resolution
add a HD Super AMOLED screen
change the OS to a much better iOS
change the screen into a flexible screen

If I get a phone that has the right specs f

or me, it will be my ultimate dream phone and I wouldn't mind having it for the rest of my life, but of course when 40-core processor phones started coming out, I will obviously change my mind.

Wii U Speed Update

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:02:00 +0000

Nintendo is going to finally update the Wii U and basically make it faster. Nintendo released a video showing a before and after difference between the previous and the future update.
The update will make it twice as fast which fixes all our problems.
The update will mainly focus on closing applications or video games faster. Fortunately, there will be a second update in the future that will focus on launching software faster and that will be released in a few months. The first update will be be coming to your Wii U this April 2013. I will direct you to the video that Nintendo made either on the link below or the video within this article.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Overview

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:44:00 +0000

Everyone is excited about the new Samsung Galaxy S4, mainly because of its new features but that doesn't really amazes. I still think though that this is enough to beat the iPhone 5. In my opinion, this phone will be a big success to the world in the future.
Some of the new hottest features is that the phone will run the latest new Android OS which is Android 4.2.2 Jellybean (not KeyLimePie and I'm quite sure that Google will take its time developing Android KeyLimePie so the OS will not be released anytime soon) and the other hot new feature is that it will have a bigger screen. The screen size will be approximately 5 inches which will definitely not beat the Galaxy Note II. The screen, however, will be the same as the Galaxy Note II which will have a 1080p Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.

Other Features:
Camera: the camera on the S4 will have a whopping 13 megapixels camera
Battery: this phone will have a 2600mAh battery which is bigger than the iPhone 5 which have a 1440 mAh battery
Processors: unfortunately, Samsung didn't say anything about it but it will more likely be a quad-core processor to make it super fast and smooth
Price: unfortunately, Samsung also didn't mention anything about the price
Release Date: again, Samsung was quiet about the release date

Samsung is going well so far with their sales and I think that this phone will explode in stores. Samsung is really on the right track with their products, concepts and sales so I really hope that Apple will rise and return to their original position.

Flexible Screens

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:00:00 +0000

Samsung is currently working very hard making the future of technology and they are progressing quite well. They are currently doing a very good job because they have made something that amazes me.
They have made a flexible screen with the OLED display within the screen in order to bring the ultimate screen experience, which they are calling it the "Youm Flexible" and I am very excited about what kind of products Samsung will make. Samsung also showed us some of their prototypes and it is incredible. A lot of rumors are mentioning that Samsung's next phone and tablet will have the flexible screen, which I think is true but I'm quite sure that they're taking their time experimenting this concept. Samsung showed us a very cool commercial relating to their future products and I recommend that you watch it because it gives you an idea what kind of products they will make in the future.

Google Maps Has Been Downloaded More Than 10M Times

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 06:40:00 +0000

Finally, Google Maps for iOS is here and very surprisingly, Google Maps has been downloaded more than 10,000,000 times in just about 48 hours. I can see how people hate the Apple Maps. In my opinion Apple Maps is not a bad application. I'm not sure why people don't like Apple Maps.
Sure Google Maps is better than Apple Maps but there are not much difference. I have downloaded the Google Maps but I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if downloading this app is worth it even though it's a free app. I have a feeling that many people will forget about Apple Maps and use Google Maps as their everyday navigator. I'm not sure how Apple will cope with that situation.

Reasons Why I Want An iPad Mini for Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 06:20:00 +0000

I know the iPad Mini is not the best Apple device out there as it lacks RAM, screen resolution and a lot more disappointing specifications and worse, it has no Retina Display which I was looking forward to, but I think that it can get minor jobs done. For everyday use, I won't mind it, but swapping it with my iPhone, I'm not entirely sure about that.
So here is my top 10 reasons why I want an iPad Mini for Christmas.

1. From the reviews I have watched, the iPad Mini is very comfortable

2. The iPad Mini has a pretty decent battery life

3. Ultra thin device

4. I love 7" tablets

5. All I do is surf the web, social network and watch videos in the internet

6. I can hold it with one hand comfortably

7. The camera is not bad

8. It's pretty cheap

9. You can go on Flipboard

10. It's pretty portable

Twitter Reach 200 Million Users

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:59:00 +0000

Twitter said in Twitter that there are now more than 200 million active users in the social network. Twitter is one of the most popular social network, but Facebook easily beats Twitter, obviously.
Facebook has over 1,000,000,000 users which is insane but very believable. I have to say though that Twitter has grown a lot and I hope that Twitter will reach 1,000,000,000 users and overtake Facebook. It may happen.

Lumia 620 Specs

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 04:25:00 +0000

Everyone in this world loves colors on their phones. Vibrant, bright and magnificent colors. What I love about the new Lumia 620 is the colors Nokia painted on it. From what I've heard, this phone will be a very affordable phone, so consumers can buy the phone and that will make Nokia happy! The screen here is also magnificent. The size of the screen here is 3.8 inches, which is not too small and not too large, just right for me. The OS we're going to see here is the new Windows Phone 8 OS, which is in the Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X. The Lumia 620 has a 5-megapixel camera and it can also record a 720p smooth video. The front-facing camera will be a normal VGA camera. This phone has a 1GHz dual-core chipset with a 512MB of RAM and also come with a 8GB internal storage and you can also put a microSD card in the phone that can go up to 64GB. Overall, this phone is not the perfect phone but I am certain that this phone can last a few years as you daily phone. I reckon that this phone is all about appearance and looks.

Wii Fit U Overview

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 01:14:00 +0000

Early next year, Nintendo will release their new game and new accessory called "Wii Fit U". I am guessing that it is going to be very similar to the previous generation which was in the Wii, not Wii U. The new feature here is called the "Fit Meter". This device is just like a pedometer.
For instance, when you go for a walk and you take the "Fit Meter" with you, the pedometer will count your steps, then once your done walking, you connect the "Fit Meter" to your Wii U controller wirelessly and it will calculate how many calories you burned. Personally, that's very cool and maybe sometimes useful. If I get the privilege of getting this bundle, I will probably use it occasionally because it will kind of annoy me if I keep bringing the pedometer with me all the time when I go outside.
The game will come with 77 activities including a dancing activity which I think will be fun! Nintendo will probably release this game early next year but I'm not certain of that prediction.

Misrosoft Sold 40 Million Windows 8s

noreply@blogger.com (Daniel Mendoza) — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:12:00 +0000

Microsoft did a very good job with their sales. Seriously, 40,000,000 licenses, that is a lot and they started selling the OS in 26th of October 2012 which is about a month from now. Compare it to the Windows 7 sales, Microsoft sold about 670,000,000 licenses, which was launched in the 22nd of October 2009 (worldwide launch).
Microsoft smashed their sales, just like what they did with the Xbox 360 in Thanksgiving. I don't have Windows 8 but I am planning to get one for my Windows 7 laptop. I have tried the operating system in stores and to put that operating system into a couple of words, I would say that it's a "Neat OS" because I really like it and it's, neat. I also had a go at it on the tablets and it's a very smooth OS. Some people doesn't like it which I don't understand but I will soon. I haven't researched a lot about this OS but I will eventually.
