So you thought Apple’s Retina display was awesome? Well not any more. A manufacturer, MicroOLED has managed to stuff in a total of 5.4 million incredible gapless pixels into a 0.61-inch display. YES that’s right. At a point when Apple’s Retina display sports only 614,400 pixels if it is to be compared, imagine 5.4 million pixels in less than an inch.
And that’s not all; this micro display also has a super low power usage of about 0.2W, a maximum 100,000:1 contrast and 96% uniformity.

Who has not heard or even played about the ever-popular first person shooter game Counter Strike? Well until now the game was only limited to users of Windows but now developers are working hard to bring in an official version of the game to Android devices.

Windows Phone Tango to feature C++ and 120 languages support

Nowadays, everyone who uses the Windows Phone OS has one major rant – It’s app-starved! But if leaks from Microsoft developer event here in India are to be trusted, the coming Windows Phone OS – Tango is set to resolve this problem by offering C++ support to developers along with up to 120 language support.
Simply put C++ apps are easier to develop than many other platforms. It would mean a wide range of developers would have the opportunity and ease to create Windows apps, and by that notion, more apps should pour in.
The additional language support will mean that Windows handsets will cover more countries. This is where Windows Phone OS might be able to leverage itself against Android and iOS. Native language support makes it easier to operate and understand handsets. This is a big step up from current Windows 7.5-Mango OS, which supports only 35 languages.
