LUSARAP

“Pew pew… pew pew” goes the anti-bacteria gun which you unleash to KILL.  You are the final defence of your immune system that will destroy all invaders in order to protect your body.  Increase your reaction speed, improve your reflexes and focus your mind to annihilate the waves of germs, bacteria and flu viruses…


Objective: Destroy all to survive.

Gameplay

You’re in an enclosed area which is your screen minus the corners and edges (Think of a gladiator arena on your screen). You only have one weapon at your disposal to shoot down various types of foes. Tap anywhere to shoot and tap with two fingers to boost away from tight spots.  Your enemies will approach you by first spawning anywhere on the edge of your arena and the fun part is how to kill each foe as effectively and efficiently as possible.  The more you exterminate, the higher the score you gain and this is used to compete with other people around the world! But the best part is yet to come…

When you are hit by a projectile or if you make contact with the enemy, you will instantly switch on your final weapon, self destruct – this is the time where you use your dash ability to smash as much as possible, but you don’t have long as it will last less than a second.  Hence the phrase “self destruct”… you will die and your score will be set. No worries, just simply press play and you’ll be back into this addictive and exhilarating game.

There may be no story to follow up all this epicness but your immune system speaks for itself in your biology class of white blood cells (without the guns).  However if you haven’t gotten to that point in your science lessons then you should play this game to gain a vivid image of what actually goes on inside!  The graphics aren’t crisp enough to gain that perfect score but that’s okay, who needs clean graphics when you’re an antibody blowing up all different kinds of infectious diseases every, single, tap of the way.

Rating 4/5: Antibody Boost is Epic and Addictive. It’s unfortunate that the rather odd controls which will most likely send you charging to your death!

Antibody Boost Tips and Tricks:

• Each enemy has a particular movement speed and pattern (generally walking towards you).  So using this you can selectively destroy the worst ones thus leaving you time to slowly take out the easy enemies.  From what we’ve found, shooters should be destroyed first.  Though the big fat slugs look bad they’re actually slow and easy to clear.
• A bubble will form where the enemies appear, and using this you can gauge what type of virus is appearing.  If you know how many shots they need to die then you can wipe them out almost as soon as they appear.

Claimed Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures have hit the web, with the reported press shots of the upcoming 41-megapixel camera phone leaking via Twitter.


Widely expected to be announced during Nokia’s New York based launch event next week, the Nokia Lumia 1020, a handset which has also done the rounds with EOS branding, is set to be the first phone to bring the Finnish manufacturer’s 41-Megapixel PureView snapper to its flagship Windows Phone line.

Making a premature appearance courtesy of repeated tech tipster @evleaks, the latest Nokia Lumia 1020 images have emerged exactly one week before the manufacturer’s July 11 unveiling.

Following on from the recently launched Nokia Lumia 925, latest Nokia Lumia 1020 rumours have suggested that the Windows Phone 8 powered handset will land as a challenger to the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, a 16-megapixel camera hosting spinoff to the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a 10x optical zoom.

While the newly leaked Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures show a handset remarkably similar to Nokia’s past Lumia offerings, the images have failed to offer a glimpse at the phone’s rear. Past leaked images have pointed to the device sporting a bulbous rear to support the low-light specialist camera.

Offering little details on the phone, the Twitter based leak came with the simple message: “Nokia Lumia 1020 for AT&T, 2013.”

Last month the @evleaks was the first to point to the upcoming Nokia handset becoming the company’s first phone to break through the three digit naming convention. A Tweet from the serial tipster stated: “EOS = Lumia 1020.”

Although Nokia has yet to formally confirm the Nokia Lumia 1020 release, the manufacturer has repeatedly teased the device, recent stating there are “41 million reasons” to tune into next week’s unveiling, a tip that all but confirms the phone’s PureView camera inclusion.

Samsung will launch Tizen smartphones in March, released just after MWC 2014.

Following the phone’s official unveiling, Carphone Warehouse has announced its Google Nexus 5 availability plans, with the retailer to stock the phone from launch.

What’s more, in an attempt to sugar coat its deals, the retailer has confirmed that the first 1,000 customers to snap up a Nexus 5 on a 4G contract will be rewarded with a free, first-generation, 16GB Google Nexus 7 tablet worth £139.

A wide range of Sony Xperia Z2 UI screenshots have leaked online, giving us an extensive view of what Sony will do with Android 4.4 KitKat.

The eagerly awaited HTC One Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update has started to roll out across UK based iterations of the flagship phone, the manufacturer has confirmed.


With a European release having kicked off earlier this month, HTC has now announced that UK based users of its flagship phone can now download the eagerly awaited HTC One Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update. There is currently no word as to when American owners of the quad-core Samsung Galaxy S4 rival will benefit from the latest rendition of Google’s hugely popular Android mobile operating system.

Confirmed via Twitter as being UK bound, the new HTC One Android 4.2.2 update sees users benefit from a selection of new lock screen widgets, the new Android Daydream wallpaper and a variety of new quick settings options.

Speaking via the official HTC UK Twitter feed, a company spokesperson stated: "The 4.2.2. update for the #HTCOne started rolling out in the UK from today. Download it now: Settings > About > Software Updates > Check now."

More than just a stock Android update, the arrival of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for the HTC One sees the Taiwanese manufacturer bring a number of HTC Sense UI improvements, with Instagram added to Blinkfeed and a battery percentage indicator making an arrival. A further addition sees Google Now accessible simply by swiping up from the home key.

While not all HTC One owners can yet make use of the update, with a complete rollout expected to take some time, those with access will be able to find the over-the-air software patch in the ‘Software updates’ section of the phone’s settings menus.

HTC One Features

One of the most impressive smartphones on the market today, the HTC One pairs a stunning 4.7-inch 1080p Full HD display with a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

Benefitting from a stunningly finished brushed metal form factor, the HTC One pairs a 4-ultrapixel rear-mounted camera with a secondary snapper up front and stereo Boomsound speakers on the handset’s fore. It features 32GB of internal storage.

Around the world, every day, a lot of people listen to a lot of music. In fact, more people are listening to more music than ever before.


Relatively speaking, only a tiny percentage of those people use Spotify for that listening, but its enough that the Swedish company has grown rapidly to become the second biggest music streaming service in the world (the biggest being YouTube, of course).

But theres another company that you might not have heard of which has an even deeper relationship with music listeners.

The Echo Nest was founded in a kitchen in 2005 by a pair of graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who were frustrated about how hard it was to decide what to listen to. In the nine years since, theyve built a database that covers 2,680,446 artists, 35,421,033 songs, and an astonishing 1,168,22,555,673 datapoints about the relationships between them.

Music intelligence

The company calls this data "music intelligence", and with good reason. For every song in its database, the Echo Nest knows a huge amount, from basic variables like artist, title, length, tempo, loudness and key signature to much deeper properties of music - like how "energetic" or "danceable" it is. It can even pair up similar listeners.

Armed with this information, the Echo Nest is better than anyone else in the world at predicting what youll want to listen to next.

Thatll be why Spotify has just bought the company for an undisclosed sum. Spotify has in the past used the Echo Nests services to power its music recommendations service (before it built its own algorithms), but more than 400 other companies around the world are using it today - including Spotifys direct competitors like Rdio, iHeartRadio, Deezer and Rhapsody, as well as others like eMusic, Twitter Music, Vevo and the BBC.

Spotify has promised to keep the Echo Nests data feeds free and open for developers. "The developer community is crucial to the success of both Spotify and The Echo Nest and will remain a priority for the combined companies," said the company in a statement. But the acquisition will still cause significant ripples in the music streaming world, in two ways.

The first is that Spotifys competitors are going to need to find a new source of data. Spotify was cagey when TheNextWeb asked the company what will happen with its direct competitors, saying: "In the few cases where The Echo Nest does work with direct competitors we will work with them to understand these relationships and determine the next business steps."

Translated, that means dont rely on anything once contracts are up.

Fleeing the Nest

Thats bad news if your favourite music streaming service isnt Spotify. "Unless startups are willing to create highly skilled teams of musicologists, machine learning PhDs and engineers that know how to tap big data, a company isnt going to get close to what The Echo Nest can do," said digital music blogger Jon Maples in a blog post.

But no doubt some will give it a go, or follow Beats Musics lead in putting more emphasis human curation, which could spark a wave of innovation that ultimately makes music recommendations better for everyone.

The second way this changes the music streaming landscape is that it pumps up the value of Spotify in advance of its rumoured IPO. Bloomberg reports that the company is speaking to Goldman Sachs Group about raising a credit facility, a move that often precedes an initial public offering. With the Echo Nest under its belt, Spotify is worth considerably more to investors than alone.

If youre a Spotify user, you should be happy about the move - the company has inherited a treasure-trove of music data, which can only make Spotifys products better. "With The Echo Nest joining Spotify, we will make a big leap forward in our quest to play you the best music possible," said Daniel Ek in the companys statement.

But if youre not, you might find the musical rug being whipped out from underneath you. The music streaming market is bloated - there are too many companies trying to do extremely similar things. Analysts have long predicted a thinning of the ranks, but as yet it hasnt happened. We might be witnessing the first salvo in the great music streaming service die-off of 2014.

Remember, though: ALWAYS have a backup of your phone. Important features might break when deleting system apps.

Using the blacklist in the full version, you can swiftly get rid of all bloatware after installing a new ROM. When wiping your phones data, you can export your blacklist to import it on your new ROM.

Samsung could launch a new Windows Phone flagship model in 2014 according to some new information.

Google Nexus 5 delays are increasing, with the recently unveiled Android 4.4 KitKat powered handset now facing five week shipping waits in the UK.

Technology’s attempt to thwart the best efforts of thieves can often fall short.
