Also, this essentially implies that there are a considerable number of enthusiasts who download paid apps, provided the app is worth the money. Shadow Blade is one such paid game which delivers fast-paced gaming fun. Storyline The game features a protagonist by the name Kuro who is a ninja, and the game is about his…

Did you just send an awful, profanity-ridden, racist tirade to your boss? Did you get really drunk and text your ex at 3am? If so, then you need to unsend an SMS as quickly as possible.

Google Glass could be a world-changing device. Or it could be a device that wants to be world-changing but is ultimately pointless – like the Segway. Google obviously wants Glass to succeed. In order to do that, it has to debunk a number of the criticisms that have come out in the past few years about Google Glass – including the idea that it looks stupid or that people wearing them are going to get hit by a lot of cars when they cross the street. Google responded to these complaints…

Tilt Alarm is designed for people who turn off their alarms and go back to sleep before they can truly wake up. It forces you to hold your phone…
Root exploit malware is among the most dangerous malware in the mobile world. Root exploit malware targets the root directories of your phone or tablet and wreaks havoc on system security.
