For all the fans of the famous and highly addictive game, Temple Run, we have good news for you. The creator of the app for both, iOS and Android has revealed that they will be releasing an update for the iOS version of the app which will not only feature new content but also an update for the beautiful screen on the new iPad’s Retina Display.

In an interview with PocketGamer, Imangi (the app developer for Temple Run), stated that they are looking to add more objectives, characters and power-ups. The company has also addressed many people’s requests to have newer environments but they feel that it would defeat the purpose since the entire game revolves around the concept of running through a temple.

While it is a certainty that Imangi listens to its users, they only choose to take suggestions that are coherent with patterns and trends that they find people want and like. The statement about environments does not mean that it will not happen But for now, it seems that the environmental factor has taken a backseat with the new iPad’s Retina Display at the front, closely followed by additional never-seen before content

Police Do Not Need A Warrant To Start Fake Instagram Account

instagram-androidOver in New Jersey, District Judge William Martini has come up with a ruling that the police are not required to actually pick up a warrant before opening a fake Instagram account. This is because the bogus account could actually be used to receive pictures shared by a suspect, and some folks wonder whether this would require a search warrant to be issued beforehand. Not so, according to Judge Martini in his ruling that stated whenever Instagram users post photos on the site, they happen to be practicing “consensual sharing.”

In other words, users who put up photos on Instagram are more or less in the know that should they “follow” or “friend” others, they will also end up sharing their pictures with them. All in all, one should always be extra careful with whatever one shares with others online, as you can never quite tell how something might end up to bit you in the rear some day down the road.

Blackberry World Hits 120,000 Apps

Published

blackberry-z10-settingsBoth iOS and Android number close to a million apps each on their respective app stores, which is one of the reasons why smartphone users flock to either operating system. Of course there are other factors, such as hardware, pricing, availability and so on, but it is safe to say that app availability plays a big role as well. Well Blackberry seems to think so as well as they have revealed that the Blackberry World app store currently sits at about 120,000 apps, which while still pretty small compared to iOS and Android, is a pretty huge deal considering that the platform and its accompanying devices were only launched earlier this year! Blackberry’s CEO Thorsten Heins praised the thriving ecosystem, which we guess was boosted by Blackberry’s efforts where they held events to encourage developers to submit as many apps as they can, and even offering monetary rewards on top of earnings for every app successfully submitted to Blackberry World. We can see that Blackberry is going for quantity at the moment, and we suppose there are quality apps within those 120,000, but for now it looks like as far as apps are concerned, they may very well be edging Windows Phone out of the picture!
