Top Cameras for Underwater Photography

Advanced engineering these days has modified our perspective of underwater photography. Digital cameras are much more facile to use and fans of underwater photography have a great array of options to pick from. If we talk about underwater photography the most important thing is finding the right subject and catching the right moment. Posing it in the right manner. The following underwater cameras will make it a little easier and more accessible.

The smallest Space Invaders machine



If you grew up in the 80s you know that this will bring back some good old memories. Back in the days arcade games were so big that everyone loved to spend quarter after quarter playing their favorite game. This Space Invaders miniature game sends chills down your spine. It could be the smallest arcade game in the world.

The measures of this small Space Invaders machine are 7″ x 3.5″ x 4.5″. The project was build using parts from a Game Boy Advanced SP, so other games could be played on this mini-arcade-machine. Are you ready to beat it?

Reasons iPhone 4 is the best business smartphone

Whenever you consider the iPhone 4 is just a glossy toy for Apple fan base, I have some arguments that business users should consider when buying a new smartphone.



Astonishingly, it is not better for business organization due to its fast performance, ultra-high resolution screen, folders, improved call quality or even multitasking. Its transcendence arrives from features and from functions that were under-reported and under-appreciated.

Here are some reasons I truly believe Apple's iPhone 4 is the best business phone ever created so far:


Cloud Sync for Notes
Almost every iPhone possessors up to now have not used Notes app on the old iPhones. But the iPhone 4 allows you to save Notes documents instantly to an IMAP-capable e-mail system, such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail.

iPhone 4 is really optimized for acquiring notes in business meetings and can really be used instead of laptops or tablets.

Apple FaceTime
Although Apple FaceTime does not support conference calling, the video calling through Wi-Fi really comes handy in the business world. And let's not forget that there are few applications that allows video conference.

Battery
Before iPhone 4, one of the biggest complaints about the iPhone was lousy battery life. That changed with the new iPhone, because it provides 7h of talk time. This means you can use our phone heavily and still get enough juice for few hours of internet browsing and gps/music listening per day.

Applications
iPhone platform has 225.000 applications that are likely to provide every business user with general business applications and narrowly focused options for every particular business. While we are on the subject, you  should check one of the best email solution for iPhone email sync

The Most Anticipated Games of 2012

I love my Xbox and that's the reason I will share a list of games I'm really hoping to play next year. Some of the games are available for preorder. Let's commence the most anticipated games of 2012 list with the sequel of a classic:



BioShock: Infinite


BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.
Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.
