Have the 2 top tech giants come to a truce?

We’ve witnessed the tense hostility between the leading mobile tech companies (Apple and Google). Apple doesn’t like other tech companies “copying” them in whatever way; else, they’ll have to sort it out in court. Now rumors have it that Google’s mobile division (Android) is working on a way to make their smart watches work on iOS devices (yeah, they really wanna do it). But the problem is not if Google CAN do it, it’s whether or not Apple will let them do it (why?) Apple is a megalomaniac. This was proven in their T & C’s which expressly stated that the mere mention of other Operating Systems in their apps or devices is strictly prohibited! This rule still remains in place and Google’s watch is called well Google watch; get it? So the only way this will work (note that this is just my personal opinion though) is either if Google changes their watch’s name or if Apple revises their T & C’s (which is less feasible).

On another note, taking a look at Android L’s source code shows some semblance to Apple’s codes. So there is a chance that these tech giants have been “borrowing” each other’s codes (or is it just a one way street?) because Android is open source while iOS is not. Now with Microsoft making it possible to run iOS and Android apps on Windows 10... well, that's another story entirely.

For now, these are just rumors in the tech universe (nothing solid yet); so I'll keep my ears to the ground and get in contact with my sources to keep you updated. Keep visiting for more updates! Cheerio!

IPhone 6+ bends in the pocket

Let's get something straight though, this isn't the first Apple device to have a "bendable " display. With curved displays and bendable screens hitting the market, could we call this Apple's version of a bendable screen? With the release of the new iPhone 6+ which BTW isn't that "cool" on a general note, it's been discovered that after being in your pockets for too long, it bends. Below are some images of what a bent iPhone 6+ looks like

From Jelly Bean to Jelly Beans

If you've been following Android releases for the past few years, you'll realize that Jelly Bean has had the highest number of version numbers (from 4.1 - 4.3). Now with that fact in mind, I think I wouldn't be wrong if I told someone that Android has Jelly-Beans(pun intended). Taking a look at the technical specifications of these individual Jelly Bean versions, you'll realize that not much change has really taken place on the succeeding Jelly Bean version. Its probably just one or two bug-fixes(I stand to be corrected though). I even almost got into a fight with a friend over the android versions... since 4.1 was Jelly Bean, we expected 4.2 to be Key Lime Pie (before Google changed the code name to KitKat). Some news sources said it would be called Key Lime Pie, some said Jelly Bean while some were not really sure of the version number(a few were saying it would be 4.2 some were like 4.1.2)... What really gets to me is the fact that they would create a new version number for an extension of the current OS. They could have just called them : 4.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3(Just saying!). That's all for now folks... share your views in the comment boxes below.

Key lime pie changed to Kit Kat

Me: hey dude, ready for the Key Lime Pie update? Dude: huh? Where have you been... as of now Key Lime Pie doesn't exist anymore its now KitKat. Duh!

Me: *Speechless* and feeling dumb.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As at when this conversion took place, I just came back from some jungle(some would call it a village). So that explains why I was living in the past. After the news of the change of codename, I went to do some research and actually found that Google changed Jelly Bean's successor's codename from Key Lime Pie to Kit Kat for some comical reason: they(android division of Google) said that most of their employees didn't know what Key Lime Pie(the dessert I mean) was so they had to change it to a more common one, hence the name KitKat. I take it that at this point you know that Android versions are name after one dessert or the other.
