Google Maps for iOS NOT Submitted!?

CyberPoodle returns with today's breaking news! A few days ago Google Maps for iOS was put for submission on the App Store, to save y'all who are having many of the issues (read our previous article ( for more on that). And you know what? It wasn't submitted. Awful news for y'all Apple fans. But I don't understand why. Their revenue could've increased, sucking those drivers or explorers in. Yeah, I guess they might want to make people use their app. Any other ideas to why? At least you've got Bing (with Maps) (though I'm not sure Apple fans will be too thrilled about that (read: made by Microsoft).

iPhone 5 FEVER, MADNESS X INFINITY

Hey geeks, CyberPoodle's back w/ today's CRAZY news! The iPhone 5 was just released yesterday in 9 countries, and people went absolutely INSANE. In London, you had to pay just to get in line! Prices ranged from 70 pounds at the very back to about 1000 (!) at the front, which is more than the iPhone itself! In Tokyo line-ups were a few blocs long while in New York, people made camps around the store a few days earlier, and in Sydney, about 600 people were in front of the Apple Store and they had to set a limit of no more than 2 iPhone 5's/person!!! So what do you think? Were/are you involved? Will you wait to get it? Are you getting it at all?

AND GANDALF YOUR PUNCTUATION IS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN LEGO LESS', EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE CRITICIZING HIM!
Punctuation Scam!
Lego Less forgets His punctuation!
look at the end of Lego Lesss last post.
 No question mark! Lego Less Will be punised!

You shall not pass scam!

            So all you Lord of the Rings geeks know that in the movie Gandalf says to the Balrog "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" in the mines of Moria. But all you true Lord of the Rings geeks know that is a SCAM! Yeah you heard me right a scam. According to the book Gandalf says "YOU CANNOT PASS!". so that proves the writer of the Lord of the Rings screenplay did not what so ever read the books thoroughly or thought for some bizzare reason that sounds better. I myself have to agree that it does sound better BUT it is technically incorrect. It is preposterous that the writer had the nerve to take such a good line and change it. What do you think is better "You shall not pass" or "You cannot pass"

iOS 6 Released, Apple Maps Are BRUTAL(solution), No YouTube App(solution

Hey geeks, iOS 6 was released just released to the public. The supported devices are: iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5 (5-pre-loaded), iPad 2&3, iTouch 4g&5g (5g-pre-loaded). Oh, and did I mention the new and 'epic' Apple Maps are a complete fail? And you can't downgrade w/o JailBreaking and voiding your warranty? As you might know, Apple has been using Google Maps since iOS came out, but now they've made their own Maps app. Well, that new Maps gives you lots of bugs, errors, misspellings and wrong locations. For all the bugs click here. Great! Can I Google Maps back? Yup! Go to the Google Maps website on your iDevice's Safari app. A bubble should pop up from your share button telling you that you can install the Google Maps app by adding a shortcut on your Home Screen. Tap that 'Share' button in your Safari Menu, and select 'Add to Home Screen'. Done! Of course, you have to know that this isn't as convenient as a native app (which Google has submitted for approval to the App Store, so it's not out yet) Alternatively, you can also download Bing (with Maps) and some others from the App Store. But pains don't stop here. There's no pre-loaded YouTube app anymore! Surprise! To get it back, just download it from the App Store. So are you/did you upgrade(ing)? Did those solutions work fine for ya?

Muscle Fight: Contender 2

Hi again, CyberPoodle here! And here is the second contender for the Processor muscle fight! The Motorola Razr i(ntel). Yes, intel. They and Motorola just (i.e. today) announced the 2GHz (yay!) single-core (boo!) (the extra clock speed should compensate for the single core though) mobile Intel Atom processor (ARM) powering the Motorola Razr i. The other specs of the phone are pretty much identical to its Snapdragon S4 Powered sibling; the Razr M (Android Ice Cream SandwichqHD Super AMOLED Screen, 1 GB of RAM, 5GB of user storage w/ MicroSD, 8MP full HD rear cam and a front facing one and, but no LTE (the fastest it has is HSDPA+). So, who do you think is the winner of this Muscle Fight? We'll send you the results when we get enough votes!

Muscle Fight: Contender 1

Hey geeks, CyberPoodle's back with our first ever Muscle Fight where we put two powerful processors and their homes against each other! And you know what's even better? You guys decide who the winner is, and we give you the results! a.k.a., a poll from comments! Our first contender is the Quad-Core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (which is supposed to be the fastest SoC yet (According to benchmarks) and also the first LTE supporting quad-core chipset) housed by the LG Optimus G smartphone. The LG Optimus G is the first device sporting that beastie (excluding the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Development tablet which isn't available for the public, despite its awesomeness. Sorry!) . It has Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 1280x768 4.7" Super IPS screen, 2GB of RAM, Adreno 320 GPU, 13mp full HD rear cam, front cam, 32GB of internal storage and LTE. So do you like the Processor?

How to Install Flipboard on your Android Tablet






Hey geeks, CyberPoodle here. When you try to download flipboard via the google play store on your android tablet,  This nasty sign comes up saying "your device isn't compatible with this version". But guess what! There's a workaround! Pay attention to the last two words. You guessed it! There is an older version compatible. That's the beta (which I found surprisingly stable). Okay, but how do you get it?

First click here on your Android tablet. When you click , your download automatically starts.

You then click the app in your notifications.

Click install and wait a minute.

Finally, click "open" or "done".

 Easy! If it Asks you to update, let it. I have tested this four times and it works. And yes, this is Directly from Flipboard's site. Also, I ran a security scan with avast and it was fine. So how did it go? Any other tips you have?

Epl Squared

Hey everybody,
I was down visiting the EPL (Edmonton Public Library) squared last week and was trying out some tablets. My favorite was the Asus slide. It was so cool it made me want to sell my tablet and buy it! The only down side is it has honeycomb.
Here are the links the the epl thing and the slide

Pretty Little Slates

Yeah, it's me, CyberPoodle again. Tablets are amazing, they're the future. Which is your favorite tablet? Go iPad go or Yeah, android, you'all beat 'em all? Or perhaps: crush 'em Windows 8! Again, we'll do a count and post ya the results. My preference? Well, it's tough to choose. I really like the new iPad, but the Envy x2 is really awesome too. The Pad Infinity rocks as well. These are kind of my top three. So send those votes and see ya soon!

Clash of the Laptops

Why hi again ya geeks! CyberPoodle again. I love laptops. They're powerful, portable and have a lot of different designs. What's your favorite laptop? Why? At the end we'll do a count to see which laptop you guys think is awesomest, and post ya the results! How cool is that, huh! Mine is the MacBook Pro w/ retina display (yes, I prefer Mac OS X vs Windows, but android over iOS, and I won't blame you if you think it's weird!). That screen, processor, razor thin and light design not to mention flash storage and Mountain Lion just make the thing a sweet one! MacBook Pro

Next Nexus-Boss or Not

Why hi again Ya geeks of the world! CyberPoodle here again. Man, am I pumped about the next Nexus (Are you?), a true iPhone 5 competitor (probably gonna be better than iP5)! What are some of the features you'd like to see? What name Do you want? (I think Nexus Z would be nice) Do you even like Nexuses? Let me give you some ideas For cool stuff the next Nexus should get: insanely fast quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2 gigs o' RAM (to make it the fastest smartphone ever), RGB matrix sub-pixel arrangement (vs Sammy-esque Pentile), Stylus, Super thin and light, super boss camera (gnexus camera-not pretty) and premium build, no cheap plastic (I'm glaring at you, gnexus). Oh, and guys, you don't need to be realistic! Who can resist overkill?

People go crazy when it comes to the iPhone 5!!!

Why hello there y'all geeks! CyberPoodle here. So do you like the new iPhone 5? I do (unlike Lego less who hates it). But it needs NFC! Also, they could've made it look way better if they had a silver rim, like the 4 and  the 4(almost)S(ame). Ya hear Apple! How  'bout this for a cool fact:  The iPhone 5 Pre-orders sold out in under an hour! Madness!!! Amazed? What if I tell you that people pre-ordered the iP5 from some Chinese dudes before it was even announced! That's INSANE!!! I can't believe how excited, trusting and crazy people are when it comes to new & shiny iStuff! Were you one of the people who contributed to one of these crazy causes? If ya did way to go! Man, I wonder how many fights there'll be on the day the thing lands in stores! So what's the next gizmo you're most excited 'bout in the vast world o' tech! Me? Well probably the next Nexus! iPhone 5
