Everyone want Elytras, only thing my heart desires from 1.9 is Mending. via /r/Minecraft

Everyone want Elytras, only thing my heart desires from 1.9 is Mending.

For years I've been toiling on a survival castle and I have had it with those lazy pickaxes breaking all the time.

Seriously, you are here, in the zone, listening to some AC/DC while murdering some stone blocks with your enchanted diamond pickaxe when you realize it's about to break. All of the time you spent looking for diamonds, enchanting it and now it's going to let you down again, like a Star Wars prequel or Sean Bean dying all the time in movies.

But with 1.9, no more! With mending, you can cheat pickaxe death forever, and just keep going and going with the same pickaxe, building a complex relationship that can truly blossom to its full potential. May not be important for most of you guys, but when you're trying to reach height limit, the only thing you can do is use MCedit to elevate your build as a cube, then dig the damn thing out to get a good shape. And I can tell you, the digging required is driving me insane..

So, yes, I want to praise whoever decided to release Mending at Mojang like my personal savior. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I want to say, thank you, you've made a survival freak happy.

Amazon Increases Free Shipping Minimum From $35 To $49

Posted on by

If you are not an Amazon Prime user, then you will not be thrilled to hear that Amazon has increased its free shipping minimum by 40%. Specifically, the free shipping minimum has increased to $49 from $35. The price increase makes it easier for Prime users to justify the $99 per year ($49 for students) they are paying for two-day shipping and free same-day delivery in eligible zip codes plus access to Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Photos, Prime Pantry, Prime Early Access, the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library and Amazon Family discounts. The last time Amazon increased its free shipping minimum was in 2013 when it went from $25 to $35. Fortunately, the free shipping minimum for books will remain at $25.

Pues sí, la cámara del Xperia X realiza unas fotografías realmente rápido

Posted on by

Pinche aquí para ver el vídeo

Nadie se  esperaba que Sony presentase una gama nueva durante el evento que tenía programado para el pasado día 22 de febrero en el Mobile World Congress. Si bien es cierto que todas las cábalas apuntaban a una nueva tablet, lo cierto es que el fabricante japonés nos ha sorprendido presentando su nueva gama Sony Xperia X. Y viendo la potente cámara que integra esta nueva generación de teléfonos, queda claro que Sony ha tomado nota de errores anteriores y esta vez por fin ha escuchado a los usuarios.

Y es que, aunque en principio la soluciones de Sony deberían ser superiores respecto a sus competidores en el apartado de la cámara, a la hora de la verdad el fabricante japonés estaba un paso por detrás. No, no es que las lentes de Sony fueran malas, más bien al contrario si tenemos en cuenta que son los mayores distribuidores de este componente. El gran problema estaba en el nefasto procesamiento de imagen debido al pesado software de la cámara. Pero viendo este vídeo donde os mostramos la velocidad con la que la cámara del Xperia X realiza fotografías, queda claro que Sony ha cuidado mucho los detalles. 

Sony sorprende con la cámara del Sony Xperia X, que ofrece una velocidad de obturación sin precedentes

Xperia X

Y es que viendo el vídeo que acompaña este artículo queda claro que la cámara del Sony Xperia X ha mejorado de forma notable; para que os hagáis una idea, la lente que integran tanto el Sony Xperia X, Sony Xperia XA  y Sony Xperia X Performance permiten realizar capturas en menos de 500 milisegundos, permitiendo realizar fotografías con la potente cámara de la gama Xperia X a una velocidad inigualable.

Si a esto le sumamos una cámara de  23 megapíxeles  con una apertura de f/2.0 y flash LED, nos encontramos ante una de las mejores soluciones si buscas una cámara de calidad. Habrá que esperar a que tengamos una unidad de prueba para exprimir al máximo la cámara del Sony Xperia X, pero por ahora las sensaciones no podrían haber sido más positivas.
