While some continue to lament, many are turning towards innovative and trending solutions to considerably reduce their energy bills by adopting modern means like insulation and glazing of their houses walls and roofs. Some are even going beyond for the solar energy to reduce the cost of their energy bills through conventional means.

Flappy Bird 'Flies Nomore' - the popular game taken off from App Store


Sad and bad news for those who love enjoying games on their smartphones - specially the Flappy Bird lovers !!

The much popular App sensation Flappy Bird has been removed from the App Store after its creator said he hates it for ruining his 'simple life.'

For now, the game, one of the most popular free mobile games on the Apple Inc App Store and Google Inc's Android Play store, is no longer available to download for either Apple or Google users. However, fans still can have fun with the bird if they already downloaded the game to their devices.

The decision came from Nguyen Ha Dong, a Hanoi-based game developer, who announced the grounding of the addictive game in a Tweet at 1900 GMT on Saturday in which he also apologized to Flappy Bird players.


"Twenty-two hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down," Dong said, adding "it is not anything related to legal issues.


His Tweet attracted more than 136,000 Retweets as of 0430 GMT on Monday.

The game, which involves tapping your device's screen to propel a small bird through a series of strategically placed pipes, has been a huge success in recent months.

Pocket-Sized Spy Drone that can 'Follow' Someone for You

Tiny Drone that can 'follow' for you

Drones are deadly things flying in the air - these have resulted in the killings of thousands of innocent civilians at the cost of a few generally low to medium profile terrorists. Despite the concern of collateral damage, these continue to fly unabated and kill humans.

But there are some drones that can become fun for hobbyists - these range from very small to any size imaginable. Generally these toy cum spy drones are used for fun sakes unless someone has ulterior motives.

Today, I came across a pocket-sized helicopter like drone that can send back live video coverage of the area it is flying on.

Scroll down for video

The drone, costing mere $450, is so small that it can fit into a handbag, yet can give anyone the ability to spy from the air and it can automatically follow someone for you.


The Pocket Drone is piloted with a standard radio control unit, on a tablet with virtual sticks or by pre-defined GPS way-points. A flyer can simply drag a route for it in Google Maps, and the drone will automatically follow it.

You can also record, save and share, or download flight plans.
It even has a 'Follow Me' mode that enables the drone to follow the tablet or phone wherever it goes.

Don't believe it? See the video below:

My Photography 2014

Sunset 4 January 2014 - Samsung Galaxy S4 Camera

The year 2014 has set in a almost a week ago. What lies in it for the remaining 51 weeks, only God knows. But for those with passion of photography, whether amateurs or professionals, each day has lot of things to observe and preserve the moments for life.

I being a novice but with a passion am always on the look out for a moment to catch - though usually it is the sun set that I am able to catch as the one above. 


I will try to catch more moments of the year and keep adding - hopefully using my Nikon Coolpix L820 instead of my cellphone - but most of the time I do not have camera by my side when my Galaxy S4 comes handy.
