October - December (The battle of Video Game Goliaths)

Yup, the title says it all. Games like Assassins Creed 3, Halo 4, GTA 5, and Black Ops 2 are all scheduled to release in October - December. AC3, has already released and was a big hit. One thing is in common with all of these games, their release dates. Why October, November, or December? Why not May, or June? Well there are many answers. Some people think it's because it's near Christmas time and Black Friday so many people will purchase these games. I somewhat agree with this one. Also, notice how all of these games are very popular. These Video Game industries are very smart, and are marketing experts. The games I stated at the top, are the main competition for this year. Yup, these four games will be going head on, with no mercy. With more than half of America playing video games, it seems as if these video games run our economy. As they always say, "Let the battle begin."

A smaller Ipad with smaller lines

Apple has made extraordinary products over the years. Their latest few products the Iphone 5, and the new Ipad Mini have been quite disappointing. In all honesty most people believe that in the Iphone 5, all the changed was the back and the screen size. Otherwise, it is almost alike to the Iphone 4S. There has also been a glitch reported about the product in its map feature. The map is not showing certain places, correctly. This error occurred every since Apple decided to use their own map system, rather than Google's. The new Ipad mini, has also brought disappointment into peoples faces. Steve Jobs himself said that the Ipad is at the perfect size. Why is there a Mini Ipad? Well, apple wants to compete with other tab making companies such as Samsung, Amazon, and Google. The price is also not satisfactory. It ranges from $320 - $400. At the same conference they also announced an Ipad 4. Users that bought the Ipad 3, feel as if they had been ripped off because of the Ipad 4's announcement only 8 months after the Ipad 3. They also announced a new Mac. This new mac is extremely slim, but otherwise the same. Is apple only running off of its "hype?" I feel as if none of this would happen if Steve Jobs was around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a apple hater, in fact I'm the opposite. I have a Iphone 4S, Ipad, and a macbook pro 2010. But Apple needs to make new Ideas for their products, not make the screen bigger and charge an extra $100 for it.
