Apple is rumored to be working on an Apple TV successor, planned for release in the first half of this year according to 9to5Mac.

The update would be a set-top box just like its existing model, but with improvements to the new OS and additional content types, the report claims.

A separate report out today from iLounge says that Apple will introduce native gaming support to the Apple TV, along with direct support for game controllers, which currently only work via connected iOS devices.

The Apple TV is already a gaming box in that it supports AirPlay streaming of game content from iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Developers can build experiences that employ the Apple TV in specific ways, too, so that they can provide multi-screen gaming experience to users, as is the case with the Real Racing series.

And new controllers that are supported under Apple’s MFI program and the new Bluetooth game controller API provided with iOS 7 (like the new SteelSeries Stratus which goes on sale today) will work with existing Apple TV devices, likewise through the host iOS device.

Windows Phone is faring better, growing its share slightly in recent studies measuring smartphone platform performance. It’s looking more and more like Windows Phone will easily grab a definitive third in the world market, and perhaps even eventually take over the number two spot. Continue Reading.....

Hon. Anthony Osei Ako, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tafo Pankrono in the Ashanti region stated that the current ongoing debate on whether the castle in the Coat of Arms of Ghana should be changed or not because the seat of Government is no longer at the castle is pointless.

He added, we have more important issues to be discussed which are more important to Ghanaians, so therefore don’t waste time on an issue which is purely academic debate.

Hon. Anthony Osei Akoto said, I don’t know what exactly is should be, in my point of view iss totally pointless and this issue will not get any national attention. There are other important things we need to do. This type of debate only occurs in the halls of the academia. I think that is where it belongs.

In a programme on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana, Anthony Osei Akoto response to an approval for a change of the Coat of Arms, which signifies the seal and authority of the state?

Hon. Anthony Osei Akoto believes that there are some of the reasons in the back of the mind of the designer of the Coat of Arms, Mr. Amon Kotei, “put it there to remind us of our experience. I think history is useful and we ought to keep it”.

He further added that this topic should be closed and no interest has been by the public because there are more important issued to be discussed.

Kim Kardashian News: ‘Pregnancy was not a good experience for me

KimKardashian loves having baby daughter North West in her life, but admitted on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Friday that the pregnancy was a “tough” experience for her.

“After having her I would have a million,” the 33-year-old reality star said, gushing over a new picture of North and her dad Kanye West and saying that she wanted “about six” children.

“She changes all the time. One day she’ll look like Kanye, one day she’ll look like me. It’s so crazy,” Kardashian said. “And her personality is so cute. She is really calm and really quiet.”

But the process of having North, Kardashian said, was not her favorite.

“The pregnancy, I wouldn’t really wish that upon anyone. Anyone,” she said.

“Women who say that it’s a beautiful thing I would think…” DeGeneres commented.

“They are lying. They are lying to you. I’m telling you,” Kardashian said. “Kourtney said that, my mom said that. I was literally giving birth and I looked at my mom and I said ‘I’m going to get you a medal. You deserve everything.’”

“My labor was easy, but just the whole pregnancy was so…I had a few medical issues, so it was really tough, and I gained a lot of weight,” Kardashian continued.

“I had pre-eclampsia, which was really tough,” she went on. “I had to deliver early. But I wouldn’t take any of it back because I have the most adorable, sweetest baby in the world.”

Kwesi Appiah, Ghana Black Stars Coach said, Andre Ayew a World Class Player.

HTC Said To Be Planning Larger Screen Version of HTC One

HTC is said to be readying the next generation of the HTC One, which will keep the same simple moniker but offer up a larger display and a camera with a so-called “twin-sensor” rear-facing camera, according to Bloomberg (via Verge). The screen will be at least 5-inches diagonally, which is slightly larger than the existing 4.7-inch HTC One, but overall the design will resemble that of its predecessor.

I’m feeling conflicted about this new device: On the one hand, the HTC One is easily one of the top three best Android phones of 2013; on the other, it’s clear that the HTC One didn’t do much to turn around HTC’s flagging fortunes, despite the extremely positive reception it had among press and the few people who did buy one.

Still, maybe a year of positive press and hype associated with the HTC One name will help the Taiwanese company move more units this time around, paired with a bigger screen (which seems to be high on customer want lists) as well as this improved camera, which is said to offer better focus performance, improved depth of field and better image quality overall, according to Bloomberg’s source.

As sad is it to say, HTC doesn’t need another smartphone that appeals to the connoisseur crowd: It needs a runaway mass-market success. They did great work with the HTC One, but sticking close to the original design in this case does mean they run the risk of shipping another beloved but mostly ignored device.
