If you are still Mavericks user or Mountain Lion user, you have a major update to download

If you have not yet migrated your Mac to Yosemite, either by choice or simply because your Mac does not support it, be quiet, Apple continues to maintain your operating system. Whether Mavericks or Mountain Lion OS you have installed on your Mac, both just received an update that fixes several vulnerabilities.

This security update for both operating systems, 2015-001, is not an upgrade itself, but comes to plug some holes which also corrected the latest version of Yosemite launched last day 27, the 10.10.2.

Framed is one of the best games of 2014 and you can download for free for a limited time

Download | Frame for iOS 7.0 or later (free for a limited time, universal) on the App Store

This is one of those stories to hopefully arrive early because few times a game with so many awards and rave reviews as Frame decides to reduce its price to zero for a limited time. Luckily this is one of those times and hope you can enjoy it without having to pay the 4.99 euros it costs to.

Even with that price adventure Loveshack really worth, but beyond the pleasant experience that awaits us with this change of scenes in which we decide how come our hero to the finish, the replayability of the game is quite limited and, together to its short duration, making it a difficult title to sell to the public.

I imagine the trailer and I have made it clear where the shots. The idea here is that, based on visual cues and classic mechanic trial and error, we place the bullets in the correct order to avoid the dangers that are happening.


He has given numerous festivals around the globe videogames and self Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid saga, called it the best game of 2014. I do not know if I would say both, but either as it is a highly recommended download. Especially now that will not cost you a penny.

Students at Columbia University created a system to run iOS apps on Android

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Six students of Columbia University in the United States have developed Cider, a system that lets you run Android apps on iOS. How we hear. Performance is not exactly great, but as proof of concept, get a compatibility layer between these operating systems is undoubtedly a singular feat. 

Cider is an architecture that modifies Android to mimic the application binary interface of iOS allowing it to run their binaries. For this, the new combination of techniques for compatibility between the two mechanisms that are used include: adaptation code at compile time and diplomatic functions. The first reduces the effort required to support multiple binary interfaces (iOS apps, and the Android), while the second allows iOS apps to access the Android libraries and interfaces of hardware and software. 

Looks complicated because it is. No talk of using a virtual machine, but something even more transparent at all levels, convincing the code of iOS apps that are running on the Apple XNU kernel instead Linux kernel of Android. Attentive to sample video done with a Nexus 7 tablet which runs Cider iOS apps like Yelp or iBooks. Yes, slow, but more or less functional. 



Note that at the moment it is only a prototype and its implementation is incomplete. The authors point out that today's phones and tablets equipped with many features that hope to use Android (including GPS, camera, Bluetooth, etc ...) that are not supported by Cider.

The students plan to continue their research and further develop Cider, but if you use Android and expect to download iOS apps shortly, better go saving for the iPhone 6. As the research project is great, but considering that the only official source for downloading apps is the App Store, how long do you think it will take Apple in iOS modify and / or Xcode to introduce additional security measures? And not to mention the army of lawyers eager to war.
