Here’s another reason to buy the Kindle Fire as one developer has created an emulator for the eReader that would let it run Nintendo 64 games. Apparently, the Kindle Fire with it’s dual-core processor can easily handle Nintendo 64 games without lags.
Unfortunately, this is no official app which means there is no guarantee that the emulator won’t brick your Kindle Fire in the long run but sources say games like Mario Kart and Legend of Zelda are playable now using the hack.

Apparently, the days of the company cloning Apple products are numbered as Apple have successfully secured patents for its iOS products. A total of 40 patents have been granted and will cover anything from the iPhone, iPad, iPod and even to the Apple Retail Store’s lay-out and design.
China is known for their resources and how they have been the choice of international companies to manufacture their goods for them because of low labor and operational costs. Unfortunately, China is known to be notorious in making cheap imitations of the same products they produce.
In the past, we’ve seen imitation iPhones, iPads, but pushing as far as making sneakers that have the Apple logo and completely copying the design of Apple stores is simply going over the line.

From a website called 1000 Memories, an article has revealed some shocking information that Facebook now holds the biggest photo library in the world. Before this, I thought it would be Flickr or Instagram, but apparently I am wrong.
According to 1000 memories, Facebook has 140 billion photos in their photo library since it first started. However, this figure is just about a portion of the total number of photos uploaded in the internet which is 3.5 trillion photos.
This figures will not get any smaller, or grow slower as more and more people are dropping their analog cameras in lieu of digital ones.
