After discovering this site in the latter part of this week, I am very, very amazed by it. Essentially everything on photoblog Deadendthrills is a screenshot of a video game, but completely unedited and looks absolutely, amazingly, awesome *insert different synonyms for aforementioned vocabulary here*. Check it out, and come back here when you’ve had enough screenshots for one day.

Apparently a leaked dev video for Windows Phone 8 “Apollo” has detailed all if not most of the upcoming features for the operating system. New features include dual-core processor support, NFC, Skype integration, official microSD card support, four new screen resolutions, and tons of new security tweaks for business integration. There is also a great deal of additional features, like Windows 8 desktop integration. Full details of the leak available at Pocketnow.
It has come and gone: the menu button. Apparently, just a few months ago it was all the rage at Google, but now as part of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Google is urging developers and designers to try and not use the menu buttons at all, to a point where it would not exist in the hardware. What the big G wants is devs to make use of the Action Bar, first seen in Android 3.0 Honeycomb. While in some apps this may prove troublesome, most of them will have to update to work on the newer software (properly, that is), so improvements can easily be made so that actions that rely on the menu buttons are switched to vertical or horizontal positions. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
At the very least Google is making Android more uniform. Via: Android Developers
In what Google could possibly only deem as fantastic news, it has now been reported by Reuters that YouTube sees more than 4 billion views per day. That is a 25% increase in videos viewed per day since May, with 60 hours of fresh video uploaded each minute, up from 48 hours of video added per minute in May, previously. Ads on videos generate $5 billion weekly, albeit only 3 billion videos feature ads each week. This massive growth spurt is attributed to extensive usage of YouTube on smartphone and TV.
That’s — a lot!? Google has announced on its earnings call that there are 250 million Android devices roaming the world, with some 700,000 activations per day for new devices. To top all of that off, there has been 11 billion Android Market app downloads, compared to the App Store’s 13 billion (that quite a jump in stats for the Google/Android camp). It’s all good news at Google, it seems.
Mark your calendars: June 12th, 2012 is the launch date of the new IPv6. To help with the internet’s explosive growth and tiny amount of IP addresses left to keep it functioning, the Internet Society will permanently switch IPv6 on to add millions if not billions of additional IP addresses. From day one, several tech manufacturers, web services, and internet providers will start switching to the new protocol. Launch partners include IPv6: Google, Facebook, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo. From a hardware perspective of the situation, Cisco and D-Link are both committed to enabling IPv6 across their range of home products by June, as well.
Even if you don’t think this affects you directly, this is actually very good news for the future of the Internet as a whole. Keep in mind that fewer IP address conflicts means a happier and faster Internet. Via: Internet Society
Google has made a rock-solid rule: future Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich devices will be uniform in software design. Things like the typography, color palettes, and other stylistic advice, as well as a breakdown of the components making up the Android UI will all be posted to the new Android Design website, available for app developers and manufacturers. Over time, the site will become even more featured, so there will always be new ideas for design, all originating from Google.
Apple holding a press event in New York City? You don’t hear about that often. There will be a focus on education, since it is dubbed the “education event”. It will take place at the Guggenheim Museum on January 19th starting at 10:00AM EST, and I’ll be bringing updates as the event moves along.
