The whole series of Samsung’s Galaxy S has already been praised as some of the most fashionable Android powered phones on the market. Nevertheless, the users in society try to pretend have not seen such kind of phenomenon for the reason that the Galaxy S always updates in delay. Fortunately, Samsung and Google cooperate with each other in order to invent the Nexus S, which is the combination of the good from Galaxy S and the latest and great version of Android: 2.3 aka Gingerbread.

While the Nexus S has been on the market for a long time, it always shows itself in black. Certainly, by saying that we do not mean that it looks very nice in black but a bit of variety never hurt anyone. Why I explain it in that way, perhaps the reason is that currently the Nexus S has been presented by the manufacturers in white. There is no doubt that the looks of it now is generally accepted and maybe we were totally be fooled in the past.

So what will you choose? Do you prefer the Nexus S in white or black? Well, It is up to you.]]>

For instance, we are more likely to see the professionally re-shot images of the place where we are standing. It seems that Time Shutter just like a hybrid of a tour guide and a time machine.

Do you still remember the last time when you are looking up at the sky, counting the stars in a summer night with your family?

Do you still remember the last time when you are looking out of the window, laying your eyes on a green tree for a relax?

Do you still remember the last time when you are standing outside, waiting the snowy flower fall into your hands gently?

Aren’t they the moments of pure happiness in your life? Very relaxing, beautiful and memorable moments?

Are you tired of current hectic life and would very much love to have a break from it?

If your answer is yes, then you must not miss today’s article, then tell us how you feel in the comments. Now, we are going to give you a big surprise. You will soon refresh yourself and appreciate how the technology benefit you!

What will have such a great power? Well then, it is an app—Strange Rain app, whose primary function is to give its users a break from your busy life by displaying a mesmerizing scene of rain falling from the sky. You do not believe? Let me show you and leave yourself to comment.

Now, we are in the Strange Rain. My iPhone is acting as a skylight to enable me to look straight up as the rain drops fall down and hit the screen.

Then, I touch the screen and move my iPhone, see what? The rain drops changed their routes! They move in the same direction as I move my iPhone! Oh, wait, great things yet to come. I can hear the rain: tink, tink, tink, they can hitting my screen, aha.

This is not the end! It is more than a rain simulator. I can also play it in three modes.

  • A wordless mode that is just close to what I just finished above: displaying the rain drops falling from the sky and I can touch the screen, move my iPhone to affect their trajectory.
  • A whisper mode which is almost the same, but at some times, you can see rain-related words spelled out when you touch the screen.
  • A story mode where you can see a protagonist playing out a story, which are printed on screen in bits and pieces. The more you touc the screen, the more of the story you will learn as the rain continues to fall from the sky.

Isn’t it very interesting? But what makes it more amazing is that after each play of the haunting melody, airplanes will fly overhead, clouds will change formations, etc.

Personally, I am much attracted to it by merely hearing about it, but it is far more interesting to play with it yourself. I am sure, you will love it, playing the rain and relaxing yourself at the same time.

We would be more than happy to hear your comments after you experience it!]]>

Have you had this kind of experience: your friends or somebody else lost something and asked you for help to search for the lost things? I did. I remembered that one day one of my friends lost his wallet in a supermarket, then he told that to the shop assistant and also described to them what the wallet looked like. Then the shop assistant and my friend searched for the lost wallet around the supermarket and also asked the people they encountered whether they saw such kind of wallet. Fortunately, my friend found his lost wallet with the help of others.

Now, my dear reader, you may wonder does the above story have something to do with today’s article? Am I going to tell you another lost-and-found story? Not really, it is not a lost-and-found story, but a game, an adventurous Toyshop game!

So, how can you play this game? Be patient, and please read carefully my below article.

First of all, let’s suppose you are now in a Toyshop, but the shopkeeper lost her marbles! Now, the toyshop is very noisy, the shopkeeper is screaming! Now, what you are expected to do is to help the shopkeeper find her lost marbles to restore balance to this once harmonious and peaceful toy store! And these lost marbles are played by identifiable words, but they are small.

Then, how can you help the shopkeeper? It can be simple and easy, but can also be complicated and difficult. Everyone in the toyshop thinks it is a gold opportunity to demonstrate you are a really clever guy! Aha, I just feel in the same way!

Next, I am going to give you more tips. You can guide one of the shopkeeper’s favorite toys through a variety of playful platform puzzles. If your answers are right, then you can collect one lost marble. It is very easy for you? I do not think so, not only are you expected to pass the puzzles, but avoid the electrically-charged Nanobots, and discover the secret areas hidden deep within the stacks of toys and other objects. Only after you pass all of the obstacles in the marble-finding process, can you be the winner. Can you ask for help? Yes, you are lucky. You can use your trusty lasso to grab and move certain objects to help you reach your goal. Besides, you can also check with other toys you meet on your marble-finding adventure for help!
