  • Google maps to go 3D

    Google maps to go 3D

    Whoops! Something went wrong!
    Google Maps: The next dimension

    Google maps are set to add a new dimension! The announcement was made by Google from their San Francisco office where a press conference was held,  keeping in mind Apple’s press event, the WWDC, which is set to take place next week. It is deploying a fleet of small, camera-equipped airplanes, via contractors, above several cities, the Internet search company’s latest step in its ambitious and sometimes controversial plan to create a digital map of the world. The images would be recorded at a 45-degree angle and would be integrated with Google Earth.

    [quote]We’re trying to create the illusion that you’re just flying over the city, almost as if you were in your own personal helicopter, said Peter Birch, a product manager for Google Earth. [/quote]

    Whoops! Something went wrong!
    The imagery would be done at a 45-degree angle.

    Brian McClendon, Google’s head of engineering for its maps product, said that privacy issues were the same as that accompany aerial imagery. Privacy has been an issue for various countries, especially when Google’s Street View cars had been inadvertently collecting emails, passwords and other personal data from people’s home wireless networks. 

    A demo of a San Francisco map in 3d was showcased and it was nothing short of spectacular. 

    It also announced that Google maps for Android would soon get an offline caching feature, allowing users to download a part of a map on their devices and use them later. 

    Google doesn’t want to say when these features will become available, making it pretty obvious that today’s announcement is meant to preempt Apple’s rumored announcements next week.

  • Apple sues HTC for the 3rd time, One series now under the radar

    Apple sues HTC for the 3rd time, One series now under the radar

    Apple has filed a third challenge against HTC on June 4th claiming claims HTC is still violating patents with their new One series devices. If this case goes anywhere near success, Apple would slap down 29 devices including the new One Series, the One X, the One V and  the One S. A full list of implicated handsets is in the source link below.

    The latest suit contains a quote by Steve Jobs.

    [quote]We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it, We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours. [/quote]

  • Leaked iPhone 5 cases hint at taller iPhone with a Metal Back

    Leaked iPhone 5 cases hint at taller iPhone with a Metal Back

    There are some images floating around the Inter-webs of a new iPhone design shell, that has been received by many repair companies. UBreakiFix has added some pictures that show a completely new iPhone dock connector.

    The images also indicate a brand new back design with a mix of aluminum and glass, that seems to look rather interesting to us. There is still chances that these are images from a fake chinese manufactory, pretending to be the real deal. But, it definitely strengthens the rumors of a 3.99 inch 16:9 screen and a tiny dock connector.
