I suppose it had to happen eventually. Almost 25 months since I first laid my hands on the TF101, it appears that the battery of my tablet has given out. How do I know? Well, I really can’t say for sure, except some interesting coincidences. The other day, the battery was down to about 20%. […]

Everyone have their own favorite apps, whether they be games, launchers, productivity apps, wallpapers, sound boards and so on. I am no different.

Those who consider themselves gamers have without a doubt followed the recent announcements of the PS4 and the XBox One with interest.
