WhatsApp With Holo UI Update Makes Its Way Onto Google Play

A while back we reported that WhatsApp for Android would be getting a Holo makeover, although this was in the beta APK which we guess some of you guys might have avoided in favor of the final release. Well the good news is that if you dug the Holo UI, you're in luck because WhatsApp for Android has been updated and is now available for download via the Google Play store. As expected this version will also feature the same Holo UI, but we expect that there are probably some minor bugs in the beta that have also been fixed along the way. If you have downloaded the beta, perhaps you might want to update to the official release.

Boy Spends $1,460 On Virtual Donuts In Simpsons Game

These days, freemium games – titles that are free to download and install, but your progress in the game becomes stifled or stalled altogether when you run out of in-game credits, and can purchase them using real world currency via your credit card or Paypal account. Well, another of such a case has happened again, where eight-year-old Theo Rowland-Fry from Bristol, England, played The Simpsons: Tapped Out on the family's iPad, and racked a bill of £980 (which amounts to $1,460 thereabouts after conversion), where all that money was used on purchasing virtual donuts in the game.

Earlier this morning, we mentioned about how Nintendo has their Pikachu edition of the Nintendo 3DS XL, and just like clockwork (or the joy that you feel when a rare Pokemon appears), so too, has Nintendo officially announced the Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL that will be made available to the masses this coming March 24. Sporting a bold yellow color, everything else about this Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL in terms of hardware will remain the same, other than the external physical difference that boasts of the familiar outline of the iconic electric Pokémon.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question. Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. Yet the automotive industry has flipped, twisted and merged itself through more than just a recession over the past two decades – it's morphed into a whole different ballgame.

Help for your Gordian knot of cables

Do you have a jumbled mess of cables and power cords behind your desk or entertainment center.  When you need to unplug something, do you have to try unplugging everything until you find the right one.  I was reading Oprah's O Magazine recently (found in my Next Issue subscription!), and they featured some fun cable labels in their March 2013 issue.  These Cable IDs are from the Container Store.  You'll get a package of eight multi-colored labels.  You can write on the label with a pen or marker, then just twist the ends around the cable.  A set of Cable IDs is $7.99.  It's time for spring cleaning.
