Hands-on with the new Google Maps

Google has been the best navigator out there for the past few years. And with the popularity of handheld devices going up, the search giant's enormous mapping system has proved to be useful for people all around the world to navigate. Google Maps is definitely one of the most popular services out there which has provided seamless and accurate mapping data of each and every plot on earth. And recently, it has taken a new form.

At Google I/O 2013, Google announced the all new, revamped and ground-breaking level Google Maps service with hefty new features and stunning visuals. Its still not being rolled out as an official replacement but  since the event, people could go and request for an invite to try out the new Google Maps. I was among the first ones to go and send an invite myself and I got the new Google Maps within a day.


For the past few days, I have been testing it around on my Desktop to see how it works and to check out the all new and cool features that comes with it. At a point, it is fairly impressive though its still a work half done. For all those who are still waiting in the queue for getting the new Google Maps, here's a first impression from me on the new features of Google Maps.

The new face of Xbox: the Xbox One


Microsoft finally unveiled its next step in the gaming industry and the new face of Xbox -- the Xbox One. Yes, and its not Infinity or 720 so "boo" to those rumours. And yes, its amazing! Xbox One is not just about gaming but is just an All in One System to replace your TV, Music System and Gaming Console. To put it simple -- "Entertainment at your fingertips".

However, it was just a short show like the PS4 event. The team showed very little of the new Xbox and is forwarding to E3 for more details including a live gameplay demo. There was no mention of price but did suggest the release date to fall 2013. Here's a short clip of the new Xbox from Microsoft -- similar to the Surface Ad nuh?
