New Voice Search on Google Chrome

Last week Google showed off its new voice search for Google Chrome at its I/O conference and it is now up and running. The new voice search feature means that you can carry out a conversation with Google by asking it questions using your voice and having it speak your answer back to you. To get the new feature and begin making conversation with Google, you need to update your Chrome Web browser to version 27, and make sure you give Chrome permission to have access to your microphone, otherwise it will not work.

Google’s conversational search is really very clever and will speak back to you with answers to your questions. All you have to do is click on the microphone in the search box of Google.com and then ask a question. For example, if you were to ask, “Who is the president of the United States of America?”, Google Chrome will reply back to you in a female voice, “The president of the United States of America is Barack Obama.”

Epic: Film Review

Blue Sky Studios so often play second fiddle to DreamWorks and Disney Pixar. Aside from its monumental Ice Age franchise and Horton Hears a Who! It has struggled to bat in the same field.
Some might argue Rio was a good show, but for me it lacked, well, anything whatsoever. Besides colour.

In the studio’s latest offering however, the team seem to be reinvigorated and back creating characters worth watching. Nicely, each one is voiced by a mix of talent you would otherwise expect to find at only Hollywood’s glitziest party; Colin Farrell, Beyonce Knowles, Christophe Waltz and our very own Chris O’Dowd feature. All have wonderful voices.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger: Game Review

Good ol’ fashioned fun

After the disappointment that was Call of Juarez: The Cartel, hopes weren’t too high for the next in the once highly regarded series. However, it is with great pleasure that the series returns in style, not with glorious graphics or breakthrough game mechanics. It doesn’t even have a terribly fantastic story line. It is quite simply entertaining.

Our protagonist goes by the name of Silas Greaves and he tells the story of his adventures in the Old West through a series of flashbacks. As he does so history is re-written and you’ll come across some famous names like Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. As it turns out Silas can be a little forgetful and parts of his stories involving said outlaws mean they’ll come and go at will. But that’s okay, because this is a game that doesn’t take itself seriously at all and the main focus here is on the shooting.

Yahoo redesigns Flickr with 1 TB of free storage

Yahoo recently announced a redesign of Flickr, the photo-sharing site and is now revamped and open to its users. The revamp of Flickr sees the lifting of photo upload limitations. Yahoo bought Flickr back in 2005 and Yahoo’s SVP Adam Cahan stated that the redesign of the new Flickr will include 1TB of free storage to its users:

“We want to be incredibly partner centric. Upload once, send to any device, any screen, any friend, any follower, on any service, and make it absolutely beautiful. A lot of sites have been talking about providing 15 GB of space. We thought what would happen if we offered you one terabyte for free. That’s 70 times bigger than what anyone else is offering.”

Fast and Furious 6: Film Review

Whether this is actually a film or not is up to you. In my mind, it’s more an algorithm of Nuts magazine, an episode of a particularly destructive Top Gear and an ultra-hard gym.

Now in its sixth instalment, the Fast and Furious series, which started with a moderately well composed supercar-come gangster flick, has now evolved into nothing more than a crazed 15-year-old’s concoction. It’s absolute mayhem and, actually, it’s quite entertaining.

Trophy Wife - Trophy Wife: Album Review

The long-awaited self-titled debut from Trophy Wife has come at a time that can almost seem too late. Not a single peep has been heard from them since their Bruixism EP, and yet this year they have decided to released their stunning debut. In terms of actual music, the album is outstanding.
