The Walking Dead Bad Lip Reading....

More fun from Bad Lip Reading on YouTube.

Falcon SMS for Android

Falcon SMS is an ergonomic SMS app by XDA user TimboMachimbo that is fast, smooth and fully-featured. It is completely free with no ads, and comes with a nice quick-reply option, custom notification settings, a tablet UI in landscape mode and a lot of customizations.

The app’s developer is active and listens to feature requests, so this app will probably only get better from here on out. There is no shortage of SMS apps, but good ones don’t come every day. This one looks promising, and with with a theme engine, delayed sending and tabbed conversations allegedly coming, its promises look good!

Mystery Of Globe-Trotting Cat

The mysterious case of a travelling ginger cat has puzzled those who found him wandering around a back yard in Northern Ireland.

Ozzie the cat was found in County Armagh and picked up by the local Cats Protection centre as a stray.


When his microchip was checked, they were shocked to find he had been registered in Australia - 10,500 miles away - as Tigger in 2000.

It also revealed he had been born in 1989, making him 25 years old. The average age of a cat is around 15 years.

Volunteers are unable to explain how the intrepid traveller, described as "a gentle affectionate cat", wound up in Northern Ireland.

It is possible he was taken to London by his owner, where he was seen by a vet clinic in 2004 as a stray, before somehow crossing the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland.

Gillian McMullen, co-ordinator of the Armagh Branch of Cats Protection, said she was called by a member of the public who was worried about a "poorly stray cat that had been hanging around her garden for several days".

She said: "The poor cat was starving but obviously had been cared for in the past because it was wearing a collar."

Officially the PSVITA is dead

Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed at E3 that no more AAA titles will be released on PSVITA. 

He did stress though that they will still support Indie titles and that Remote Play will be highly regarded in it's future.

Given that you can play remote play on any 4.0+ Android Device the need for a Vita for Remote Play is even less.

My problem with this is while some Indie games are amazing, it isn't the reason I bought a Vita, I bought it for games like Uncharted and Killzone, and I was surprised by how awesome Gravity Rush was.

I also enjoyed the Assassins Creed outing provided by Ubisoft, but this now seems to be a thing of the past.

This, Playstation Move / Eye Toy, 3D gaming on Playstation and more recently the PS4 Camera are the reason I wont be getting Morpheus for at least a couple of years after release (if at all).

It will turn out to be nothing more than a gimmick that Sony will simply stop supporting shortly after its over hyped release as all of the above have met this demise.
