Tech & Turns App Watch
Oh so convenient Google is at it again with their recently released app, Google Keep. More and more smartphone users find themselves on-the-go, never really thinking of doing things the old fashioned way Taking out a pen and a small notebook seems to be an inconvenience now. With Google Keep, users can quickly store what’s on their mind and recall it easily later on, wherever they are. The new app gives users the ability to create a checklist, enter a voice note or snap a photo and annotate it.

What’s Hot
The HTC One is the latest smartphone to “wow” tech fans with its stunning design and premium parts
Right off the bat, the design easily seduces you into taking a closer look. The gorgeous body of the HTC One does just enough to steal the thunder from competitors. The design is rectangular, flat and extremely thin. It’s practically all screen. The colours are vibrant with wide angle viewing and plenty of brightness.
The HTC One takes a step further in advancing their camera capabilities. This device features an updated ImageSense system along with a new ImageChip 2 hardware, and a revamped light sensor called the UltraPixel Sensor. Technically, the camera capture is at a resolution of just 4 megapixels. HTC claims the actual size of the sensor is larger and the pixels it creates are much more detailed. They also claim this camera will capture 300% more light than competing camera smartphones. Having a 4 megapixel camera is a gutsy move, but this device has a chance of being a winner in the race to become the ‘top dog’ of the smartphone world. All there is to do now is to wait and watch how the HTC One performs when it reaches the masses.

Apart from the name being confusing in English (and in Italian), they have arrived, yet again, on a higher level in the automotive world. This is the latest stage of evolution for the Prancing Pony, and the covers were taken off a short while ago in Geneva. It is a testament to the former flagship models like the 1984 turbocharged 288 GTO, the legendary ‘87 carbon fibre F40, ‘95’s F1 extracted F50, and 2002’s Enzo. The breathtaking beauty of the beast is enough to leave you speechless. Performance-wise, LaFerrari beat its predecessor, the Enzo, around the Fiorano track by five full seconds, recording a time of 1min 20secs. This
is the first time Ferrari has actually applied its HY-KERS to a production car, which has introduced several benefits. It reduces emissions by 40%, increases the V12’s output by 10%, operates with an impressive 94% energy efficiency, and recaptures kinetic energy usually lost under braking and cornering to charge the batteries. There are so many praiseworthy indulges, like the alluring all-black cockpit, that we cannot do it justice in such a small print space. Where can you get all the juicy details? If you haven’t already, we suggest watching the official LaFerrari launch video.
