With all the fuss over game sharing with next-gen consoles, we’re sure many PC gamers are gloating at how easy it is for them to share their games. In fact, game sharing can even be done through platforms like Steam by giving your friend your user ID and password. While that isn’t exactly the cleanest way to do that, or the most efficient, it just works, but it looks like Valve might be exploring a more official way to allow friends to share Steam games with one another. A user over at the NeoGAF forums has spotted a piece of code which has indicated that Valve could be coming up with a way to allow gamers to share their games with each other.
The code makes reference to a shared game library, along with a notification which would let the user know when a game is currently being played by their friend, presumably not letting them access it in the meantime. We’re not sure what is the extent this sharing feature will go, and if all games will be compatible, especially since both Sony and Microsoft’s policies have left it in the hands of publishers with regards to DRM, so we wouldn’t be surprised if Valve took the same route as well. No word on when this alleged sharing feature will be released to the public, but what do you guys think about it?
While we’re still waiting for the Moto X to be officially announced, @evleaks has recently uploaded a photo which has been allegedly snapped by the device’s camera itself. While the photo above doesn’t look too shabby, it seems that it was snapped by a 10MP camera which might not sit too well with Android users who are looking forward to the device. After all, current high-end Android phones are sporting at least 12MP, with phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom sporting 16MP cameras, so at least on paper, it would seem that the Moto X phone is lagging behind. Other rumored specs include a dual-core processor with a 720p HD display. We’re certainly hoping that this isn’t the case, especially since current-gen Android devices sitting on the high-end spectrum of the market are featuring quad-core chipsets with Full HD displays. Of course it is possible that the Moto X could be designed as a mid-ranged device to target a wider audience, but either way we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. In the meantime what do you guys think of this photo’s quality?
With the oils from our hands and our faces, not to mention dirt, grease, and whatnot, the screens of our phones get pretty nasty and usually within the course of a day, many of us wipe our phones down several times. Usually a microfiber cloth will do the trick, but not everyone has one or brings one out with them, which is why this shirt from designer
It seems like tech companies being sued over alleged patent infringements these days has become the norm, and it looks like Apple will have to add another company to the list in the form of a company from Texas called Bluebonnet Telecommunications. According to the lawsuit, it seems that Bluebonnet believes that Apple has infringed on a patent which allows for call forwarding. Bluebonnet alleges that devices like the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 have infringed upon the patent, which has been described as a phone communicating with a central switch to display a list of options, which are then displayed for the user.
Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition is a noble effort to revive a game whose original was adored by many fans, although reviews of the Enhanced Edition have left something to be desired. Either way for those looking to try their hand at the Enhanced Edition of the game, you’re out of luck for now as it steems that the game has been pulled from Apple’s App Store, and that its sequel, Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, has been put on hold. The reason behind this is due to “contractual issues” which the folks at Beamdog did not go into specifics about. What this means is until those issues are resolved, Beamdog will not be releasing the patch for the game, and that the sequel will be put on hold and that the game will no longer be available from the App Store. However those who currently do own the game don’t have anything to worry about as they can play the game normally, just that any bugs you encounter will probably not be resolved for a while.

Compared to regular digital cameras, mirrorless cameras tend to be on the slightly more pricey side, especially when you take into consideration devices like the Sony NEX-7 whose photo quality and features could almost rival that of a DSLR. In any case if a more affordable mirrorless camera is something you’d like to see, the 25th of June is said to be when Fujifilm could be announcing a new entry-level X interchangeable mirrorless camera, along with a new set of lenses and new camera firmware.
So Nokia’s upcoming EOS Windows Phone device might have sort of
