Yesterday I wrote about how Facebook’s desire to out-YouTube YouTube and muscle in on all those ad revenues is placing its chances of becoming the “mobile operating system” of the future in jeopardy.

Ready for a new school year? Your child probably spent the summer learning new skills or leveling up existing ones, be it coding, painting, swimming or music. When kids build skills, they acquire a greater sense of confidence and curiosity that will make them hungry for even more accomplishments. So with that said, we should be asking, is the school ready for your child?

The last few years have seen a huge paradigm shift for many software vendors. The move away from a product-based model towards software-as-a-service (SAAS) in the cloud has brought huge changes. Autodesk was one of the forerunners in the field, having been experimenting with cloud based SAAS as far back as 2001 when it acquired the Buzzsaw file sharing and synchronization service. Since then Microsoft, Adobe and many others have been moving into a subscription based, on-demand service, and Autodesk has done the same with its core computer aided design (CAD) products.

While the number of iPhone 6 handsets that were actually deformed last year during the #bendgate saga remains an open question, the PR impact of the saga of the bending smartphone was something that affected the perception of Apple and caught Cupertino unawares. It looks like that’s not going to be the case with the upcoming release of the iPhone 6S.

It’s a little bizarre that this year, there’s a literal line drawn in the sand where the video game drought of summer ends, and the waterfall of big-name titles begins in the fall. This year, that date is literally September 1st, which sees the release of what will likely be two of the biggest games this fall, Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Warner Bros’ Mad Max.

Siendo éste uno de los veranos más aburridos de todos los tiempos por la ausencia de competiciones deportivas de alto nivel, y estando en un mes de agosto donde las calles brillán por su soledad, hay que subir moral con alguna propuesta jugable que nos anime a no lanzarnos de cabeza a la primera línea de playa que veamos. Y sí, algunos de nosotros no tenemos vacaciones y eso nos habilita para seguir al pie del cañón buscando, sóo para ti, los mejores juegos de Android que han aparecido en los últimos siete días en la selva de Google Play. Y esta semana hay buena calidad, con World of Warriors: Quest, Give Up y el curioso Final Hero: Speed Run. Ahora te los enseñamos.
World of Warriors: Quest – La segunda parte de este juego de estrategia ya está disponible para Android, y para ello se innova y se arregla otro poco dejando de lado ese combate anterior eminentemente con Quick Time Events para mostrarnos las batallas por turnos, como debería ser. De esta manera World of Warriors: Quest conserva sus amplias posibilidades, pero incluye un combate que demandaba su público. Es hora de que entres a combate, compañero.
Give Up – No te fíes por su estética visual simple, porque jugablemente es un portento y una pesadilla muy divertida. Give Up es un juego de plataformas donde nos toca llevar a la salida al personaje, pero para ello debemos sortear multitud de trampas mientras la palmamos una y otra y otra y otra vez, y así hasta la desesperación… y diversión.
Sling Kong – La verdad que tensar la cuerda y lanzar al mono es un buen lema, pero también se lleva al factor de juego con Sling Kong. Y es precisamente eso, impulsar a simpáticos monos y otros absurdos animales por escenarios verticales para alcanzar nuestro objetivo, dando buenas dosis de satisfacción y buen sentido de la ridiculez.
Final Hero: Speed Run – Un poco de rol por aqui, otro tanto de plataformeo y bastante de carrera infinita es la receta que nos pone en liza Final Hero: Speed Run. Una mezcla de géneros que queda realmente bien y que encima es arropado por un conjunto visual muy al estilo nipón.
Human Cannonball – Seguramente algún día quisiste ser un hombre cañón… o no. Aunque eso da igual quizás te interese experimentar con Human Cannonball, un título de habilidad que nos permite lanzar a un simpático hombre cañón por los aires intentando que no se parta en dos al calcular mal nuestros lanzamientos.
¿Que tal los juegos de esta semana? ¿te los vas a bajar todos?.
¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Los juegos de Android de la semana (LXIII) para dejar tu huella.

In the spirit of transparency and honesty, OnePlus has taken to its forums to announce that the first shipment of OnePlus 2 devices for North American markets — US and Canada — will lag behind Europe by 2-3 weeks.
The delay comes from production scheduling conflicts, but according to OnePlus, it won’t affect sales:
The production of the OnePlus 2 is in full swing and we’re excited to get the OnePlus 2 in your hands. However we do want to tell our users in North America that due to production schedules, shipping to the States and Canada will commence 2-3 weeks after shipments to Europe.
But don’t worry, this won’t affect our selling date. You can still use your invite codes to purchase the OnePlus 2 at oneplus.net starting August 11.OnePlus 2 Shipments DelayedOnePlus
While having to wait an extra couple weeks is a pain, especially for those in need of a new phone, it could be much worse. Now that the hype has died down a bit, we’d like to hear how many of you are planning to buy a OnePlus 2 in the comments below.
