Microsoft revealed the new Xbox One, the next generation gaming console which promises to redefine modern gaming. Powered by the cloud, it will re-position itself as your all in one home entertainment system, allowing seamless switching from live TV to movies to music to gaming of course – and did you know you can use voice commands to do a lot of that.

Powered by 8-core x86 processor and over five billion transistors, speed lag is not something you need to concerned about. 8GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB, Blu-ray drive, 4K HDMI in/out, USB 3.0 are some of the other cool features. While you can turn the ‘Xbox On’ just by saying so as the new Kinect sensor continues to listen to every word you say, Skype on Xbox and a large HDTV screen is what you will enjoy most.



While Xbox One will take realism in gaming to the next level, it was dissappointing to learn that Xbox One hardware is not compatible with Xbox 360 games, so do not think you can buy the new Xbox One and get your old games to work. Though the Xbox Live Gold membership will work on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Xbox One comes powered with some amazing new games, I am particularly fond of the new Call of Duty: Ghosts trailer

The US Government is offering Air Force One for sale with bids starting at $50,000. Air Force One is officially the call sign of the air plane carrying on board the President of the United States. Air Force One planes are famous for their advanced security features and superior safety features.
The General Services Administration announced the auction for the older DC9-32 aircraft which they claim transported several VIPs of the US government. The auction page lists the details of the aircraft, and it seems current there are no bidders, though the bids start at $50,000 only. The aircraft is located at Phoenix-Gateway airport, Mesa, AZ and interested bidders can do aircraft Inspection by prior appointment only.

Well for the person who buys it – its not only an opportunity to own a part of history, but also possibly travel on the once safest aircraft on earth when flying the US President.

Flickr got a big upgrade and gifted everyone a 1TB free HD photo storage space online so that you can upload all your photos, as much as you want. What was important is that Flickr also allowed unlimited high resolution photo uploads, and removed all the strange limits – which was not possible earlier.
The New Flickr
Well how big is a terabyte of photos? Mostly you might never run out of space. 1 Terabyte will let you upload 350,000 10 megapixel photos! Flickr wants you to upload every photo you have and share it without having to look for another online image hosting solution.

They also dropped Flickr Pro, a premium Flickr upgrade (costing $25/yr) which allowed you to upload more images, more sets, unlimited viewing and higher resolution image and videos. With so many free high resolution, high storage image hosting and online photo sharing services available, it was high time Flickr held back their huge customer base. In fact they offered free Flickr Pro upgrades to everyone last year, as well as Free Pro accounts to non-profit organizations to encourage users to try Flickr Pro.
Its great that Flickr removed all kinds of ridiculous limits on image viewing, resolutions, sets and uploads for all its free accounts. Actually Flickr now has new paid plans called Ad Free which remove all ads and Doublr, which adds another 1TB of storage space to your Flickr Account.

The new slideshow, dashboard and activity feed, promise a new seamless integration of photos from your social network. The new Flickr apps ensure you can upload and share your photos wherever you are.
We have been following Flickr ever since its early days tracking all the Great Flickr Tools, till it was acquired by Yahoo! It has been a great journey to see the ups and downs of Flickr and this new Flickr avatar, though came late, yet seems destined to succeed.
