Happy Chinese New Year 2013




Happy Chinese New Year everyone. It's the year of the Water Snake. Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin) or Kong Hei fat Choy (Cantonese). Even though the pronunciations are a little different, both are written the same way.

Here are my iPhone 4S snapshot photos taken during the Chinese New Year celebration at ChinaTown in Ongpin, Binondo, Manila.

Karateka



Screen capture by Ronald Guanzon using the iPhone 4S
From PRINCE OF PERSIA creator Jordan Mechner, the original side-scrolling karate classic comes to the iPad and iPhone with stunning graphics and innovative gameplay. *IMPORTANT* Karateka requires iPhone 4S or newer, iPad 2 or newer, or iPod Touch (5th generation).

"Instantly, addictively fun" -MacLife

"For those who remember the original, the new Karateka must not be missed. And to those with no prior knowledge: you have a excellent, new experience in store." -Touch Arcade (4.5 stars)

"With a stunning makeover and simplistic but compelling action, this terrific update brings Karateka into the 21st century in style." -Cnet

****

Whether you are a nostalgic Karateka fan or new to the game, Karateka will charm you with its classic love story set in feudal Japan. Fight to save the lovely Mariko from the evil warlord Akuma and reunite her with her True Love!

BREATHTAKINGLY CINEMATIC

Karateka comes to new life with art by Jeff Matsuda (The Batman) and music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin (Civilization IV).

FANTASTIC FIGHTING

Easy to grasp yet challenging to master, the rhythm-based karate combat tells a simple human story. Three suitors vie to save Mariko: A fearsome Brute, a noble Monk, and her brave True Love.

HIGHLY REPLAYABLE

"A brilliant life system that delivers variety in the gameplay as well as incredible replay value; you won't want to stop playing until you rescue Mariko as her True Love and see the storybook ending." - Touch Arcade

PUNCH THE HAWK!

"Fun for those of us who played the original on an Apple II, Commodore 64, or even an NES, but younger gamers will still appreciate the unique style and easy-to-learn gameplay." -ArsTechnica

"Karateka is widely considered to be one of the greatest 8-bit home computer games ever created. It wasn't a game so much as a living story that you, the player, were a part of... The new Karateka legitimately feels like it might be what Mechner's original idea would have been, if then were now." - Touch Arcade

*IMPORTANT* Karateka requires iPhone 4S or newer, iPad 2 or newer, or iPod Touch (5th generation). Karateka does NOT support earlier devices such as iPad 1, iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS.


















Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic are designed to rest comfortably inside — and stay inside — a variety of ear types. The audio quality is so superior, they rival high-end headphones that cost much more. And you can use the improved remote to adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls on your iPhone.

Highlights
-Designed by Apple
-Deeper, richer bass tones
-Greater protection from sweat and water
-Control music and video playback
-Answer and end calls

Overview
Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the new Apple EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphone.

The speakers inside Apple EarPods have been engineered to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. So you get high-quality audio that’s just as impressive as what you’d hear from more expensive headphones.

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.

My thoughts about iPhone 5 compared to iPhone 4S

My thoughts in having an iPhone 5 compared to my iPhone 4S running on iOS 6.

The only basic difference is they extend 1 row icon on the screen, and that is good. Also including a 4G LTE network (not yet available in PH) and a new re-design "nano" SIM (which is not yet available in PH). Fast A6 chip CPU (not yet quad-core but it is the first on the iPhone) gives X2 fast process compared to A5 chip on the iPhone 4S.

If I am going to use the new iPhone 5 in PH, the network features and the new re-design SIM will not work, as of today.

If you plan to buy the new iPhone 5 and you have the money, go ahead. It looks like you are just having an expensive iPod Touch (5th Generation).

Since I love my iPhone 4S and it benefits me a lot, ill stick to it. Its the legacy iPhone of Steve Jobs. If I want "only" to experience the features of the new iPhone 5, well... I rather use the iPod Touch (5th Generation), without the phone features.

Playing Street Fighter X Tekken on my iPhone 4S

I love playing "Street Fighter X Tekken" on my iPhone 4S, and remotely connected in my Apple TV so I can watch and play on a large 32" screen HDTV.

Here are screen shots from the iPhone 4S:

My iPhone 4S is now on iOS 6

My iPhone 4S is now updated to iOS 6. The latest operating system with 200 new features, including all new Apple-designed Maps, Siri features, Facebook integration, Shared Photo Streams, Passbook, and more.

Drake Rider by Square Enix for the iPhone 4S and the new iPad

Kill or be killed. Experience the perils of adventure with your ferocious sidekick in this brand-new smartphone RPG!

The stage of DRAKERIDER is set in Igraine, a world on the brink of destruction due to the repeated attacks of the Dread. Aran Lawson, once an ordinary tracker, now finds himself as a dragalier—and mankind's final hope. This is the story of our hero and his dragon companion, Eckhardt.

The game lets you take the reins with a battle system like no other. Instead of entering commands, control the chains to execute your strategy. Easing off the reins will allow Eckhardt the freedom to unleash powerful attacks. Too much leeway, however, will trigger his primal instincts, endangering Aran.

Led by Akifumi Kaneko, the game is developed by WITCHCRAFT Inc., famous for their work on various anime and other RPGs. This title maintains the high quality and integrity for which they are known.

The characters are voiced by an array of talented artists, including Ryohei Kimura, Nana Mizuki, Shinichiro Miki, Kana Hanazawa, Keiji Fujiwara, and many others. The powerful theme song "unleash," performed by Shoujyo Byou, accentuates the powerful storyline and intense battles.

There are five chapters in total, the first of which may be enjoyed free of charge, so why not delve into an original and finely crafted RPG adventure?
