Apple CEO Tim Cook joins Twitter, tweets about shop visits

It's taken a while, but Apple's CEO Tim Cook has finally joined Twitter.
Despite only just having signed up, he's already just shy of 200,000 followers, which is pretty impressive. He's only tweeted once so far, and you won't be surprised to hear what it was about.
"Visited retail stores in Palo Alto 3 days ago," the Cookie monster tweeted. "Seeing so many happy customers reminds us of why we do what we do."
Shame he wasn't down at the Pasadena Apple Store the night the new iPhones launched. Some customers there weren't quite as happy as the ones Cook saw.

Nokia's Lumia 1520 Bandit -- the company's first 6-inch device -- may have been owning the headlines of late, but there's another Lumia rumoured to be making its way out of Finland.
It's known as the Lumia 929, according to the snap posted by Internet tipster @evleaks. It was originally thought to be a version of the 1520 exclusive to the Verizon network in the US, but it could be a different beast altogether, according to recent FCC filings.

iPhone 5S? Pah. That's old news. It's all about the next iPads now, which could be with us as soon as next month. An earlier rumour said the next full-sized iPad would come in the same "space grey" as the iPhone 5S, and now comes word the next iPad mini will be available in a matching shade.
One report reckons we won't see news iPads until next year. Others, however, have pencilled in 15 October as the day Apple will announce its new range of tablets.

insidious chapter 2 - If you were a fan of the first, you will love the second installment


tt2226417.jpg




director -james wan
cast- patrick wilson ,rose byrne
genre -horror , thriller
release date -15th sep ,2013 (US)
plot summary - The haunted Lambert family seeks to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
my rating - 7.5/10

my review -The movie picks up right where the first left off, and really gives you the back story of the family and why they are going through everything they are going through. They style is very similar, and there is so much originality and style that you just don't see with today's modern horror story flicks. There are plenty of scares, plot twists, surprises, a-ha moments, and plenty of tense moments and horror. I really enjoyed it just as much as the first. I got to see The Ultimate Insidious Experience which was a back to back double feature which was really cool to refresh what had happened in the first. There are moments that explain cleverly scenes that didn't make sense in the beginning but are cleverly resolved in the end. I have always loved the first Insidious and the second is equally as good in my book. If you didn't like the first, you won't like the second. It's just a great spooky, scary, haunted house, ghost, abandoned hospital story that is well-done and leaves you very satisfied at the end. They leave it open for further sequels that are sure to follow. A definite must-see for any horror movie fan.

fast and furious 6-It's certainly fast, it's also furious but above all, it's also fun • 7.6/10

genre -action , crime , thriller
release date - 23 may , 2013
plot summary -Hobbs has Dom and Brian reassemble their crew in order to take down a mastermind who commands an organization of mercenary drivers across 12 countries. Payment? Full pardons for them all.
my rating - 7.6/10

my review -
an excellent movie having great fun action & little bit romance..the sixth gear actually builds up the franchise into one of the best movie franchise of all times...."...a superior piece of classical action craftsmanship... Lin and veteran screenwriter Chris Morgan have labored to add depth, dimensionality and inner conflict...""Remember the second you go through those doors," says Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto. "Everything changes." Now that's wishful thinking. The Fast And The Furious films have never strayed too far from the formula, just doing enough tinkering under the hood to keep the franchise purring.This time the gang decamp to London after Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) – the dogged DSS agent who pursued them through Rio last time out – comes asking for help.Wisely, he wants to use the street-smarts of Dom, Brian (Paul Walker) and the rest for a their crew for a particularly dangerous mission. The target? A gang of pro hijackers led by ex-Special Ops soldier Owen Shaw (Luke Evans, excellent). The reward? Full pardons for Dom and his crew. The bait? That Dom's ex Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) – thought dead after a car accident in the fourth film – is alive and working with Shaw.

cast - bradley cooper ,ed helms , zack galifianakis
genre -comedy
release date -23may ,2013
plot summary -This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
my raiting -5.3/10

my review -
 Right off the bat I noticed that the third installment of the series, though filled with awkward moments and hilarious one liners, has much more of an actual plot than the previous two seemed to have. It revolves around a drug dealer/business man who is hunting down Chow (who did a spectacular job in his role as always) to get back 21 million dollars in gold that Chow has stolen from him. The drug dealer kidnaps Doug and threatens to kill him if the rest of the wolfpack are unable to bring Chow (who is in hiding) back to him in three days.

The crew worked well together and the movie, though still fresh in my head, was very enjoyable. I wouldn't go out to say it's the best Hangover of them all, but I also wouldn't say it was the worst. Full of moments, hilariously awkward scenes, and Zach Galifianakis, this Hangover gets a 6/10 rating from me.

It's a movie you're going to want to go see, and a movie you won't mind spending a few bucks on. If you're easily offended, you'll hate this movie (even I thought they pushed the limit on a few of their jokes in this one, but hey, it's an adult comedy). I thought the near 2 hour run time felt much shorter and I thought the acting was great
