clip_image001

Google+ has been around for a while now, but unfortunately there hasn't been an easy way to access it from your BlackBerry. Well today, Smarter Apps has released the first free beta version of an app that allows Google+ users to access their accounts right on their BlackBerry. The free app is called App For Google+ and is now live in BlackBerry App World.

Features of the Google+ app for BlackBerry include:

  • View your stream, post to your stream, checkin, upload photos to your stream
  • View your photos and photos from people in your circles
  • Add, edit, delete people and circles
  • View and edit your own Google+ profile
  • Support for all BlackBerry OS 5 and above devices except the BlackBerry PlayBook

Some features of the Google+ app for BlackBerry that are not yet supported include Instant Upload (although it seems to be working ok in our tests) and Google+ Messenger. Keep in mind as well that the app is currently in beta form. If you give it a spin be sure to let us know in the comments how it's working for you.

clip_image001

If you're looking to ensure you have the latest release of BlackBerry Mesenger on your device then now would be a good time to go ahead and fire up BlackBerry App World. RIM has gone ahead and updated BlackBerry Messenger to v6.1.0.71 just a few short days after having updated it to v6.1.0.70. No change log was included for this release so for now we'll have to assume it's just bug fixes. Either way, go grab it.

Project description: 

Khel is a treasure hunting game with a twist, in order to find the clues, a player has to make new friends in different countries and have to get them aboard on his team to finish the quest and win the game.

When a player (PlyrA) register, he will be given a unique number(clue), he has to write it on something sustainable and has to hide it in an area near to his location, he has to record the co-ordinates(GPS location) where that clue is hidden and has to submit it back on Khel. Khel will store that clue with its co-ordinates in its database.
PlyrA will be given the coordinates of his 1st clue which would b hidden in his city. He has to find it and upon finding it, he will submit the number written on that clue to Khel to find out the coordinates of the next clue. Next clue would be located in some other country. PlyrA has to find a person (PlyrB) in that country, living near that location and has to convince him to become a part of his team and to find the next clue (2nd clue). PlyrA can use any medium of communication like social networks, emails, telephone etc but he is not allowed to physically go to the location of the 2nd clue. PlyrB cannot be already a member of Khel.
PlyrB will have to follow the same procedure of registration and will find the 2nd clue and will submit the number written on it on Khel and thus PlyrA and PlyrB (TmA) will be given the coordinates of 3rd clue which would be in some other country.
This process would continue till TmA finds 10 clues, in order to achieve that TmA would have get 10 players, PlyrA to PlyrJ from 10 different countries.
The first team to achieve that would be the winner. The competition would start at a fixed time and would continue till the winner is found. After that, 2nd competition (season) would start and so on.
The winner team would be given the grand prize. But their real Treasure would be the 9 new friends they found from 9 different countries.

What Khel achieves:
• Human Touch – Getting in contact with new people and bonding with them.
• Team Building among people of different countries, colors, backgrounds, societies, races, casts etc. The get together to achieve a common goal.
• Entertainment.
• Finding the Hidden Treasures of Social Network.

Khel: Customer would be people from any part of the world, they can be of any age above 14. They would be people willing to make new friends and compete with other people, they would be adventure loving and they would be aware of new technologies like social media and GPS enabled devices.
Khel Pro: Employees of national and multinational corporates companies. Companies who want team building among their employees situated in different geographical locations.

Notes:
• Khel would have its own website, it would have a FB app and a mob app for 5 mob platforms.
• Player needs to have a GPS Device or GPS enabled mobile phone and internet connection.
• Revenue would be generated from advertisements on website and advertisement on mob app.
• Revenue would be generated by Khel Pro which would be for national and multinational corporates companies, in which the game is played among employees to perform team building at national/global level in that company. In case of national, the game would be played among different cities.
• Revenue would be generated by contracting cafes/fast food restaurants and clues would be hidden in them. Clue will be released to the player after buying something of a specific amount from those places.
• Khel can partner up with existing LBS (location based services) like foursquare or google to provide this game as an extension to their existing platforms.

Green, Yellow and Red Bell Peppers - What's the Difference?

Bell peppers are members of the Nightshade family of vegetables along with potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants. Like chili peppers, bell peppers originated in South America where seeds of a wild variety are believed to date back to 5,000 B.C. The various colored Bell Peppers all come from the same plant, but differ in their level of maturity:

GREEN PEPPERS

Green bell peppers are harvested before they are fully ripe, one reason they are less expensive than other varieties. Green bell peppers will continue to first turn yellow and then red if they are left on the plant to mature. They have a slightly bitter flavor and will never have the sweet taste of their red, yellow and orange counterparts.

ORANGE AND YELLOW PEPPERS

More mature than green bell peppers, yellow and orange peppers have a fruity taste but are not as commonly found in local markets as green and red bell peppers.

RED PEPPERS

These are more mature than green, orange or yellow bell peppers. They are rich in carotenoid phytonutrients and contain almost eleven times more beta-carotene than green bell peppers as well as one and a half times more vitamin C. Red Bell Peppers have a sweet, almost fruity taste. Pimento and paprika are both prepared from red bell peppers.

There are also other varieties that have a more tapered shape and do not have the lobes characteristic of the green, orange yellow and red varieties.

What is the difference between red and green capsicum apart from the colour?

Red and Green Peppers (Capsicums) are exactly the same fruit of the capsicum plant, only the green is picked earlier and when the green matures it goes red, as with any mature fruit the longer it is on the plant the sweeter it gets and the longer it stays, the longer it has to pay rent to the farmer. Hence the higher price. If you can use both, use them, if you can't then dont, the red pepper adds great colour and taste as does the green, but dont break the bank for the sake of colour. If you can afford it use both, I have found that there is always a plentiful supply of fresh peppers at the grocery store, so only buy what you need when you need it.

Leaked: OS 7.1.0.205 for the BlackBerry Bold 9900

clip_image001

And here we go with another updated OS for the BlackBerry Bold 9900. This time around we're looking at OS 7.1.0.205 for the masses but not a whole lot is know about it as of yet, so we'll leave that in your hands to let us know what's new, what's broke and what's awesome. Make sure you load a back up first. Oh, and if luck is with us we should also see it for the 9860 and the 9810 as well soon.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). *
