Hasbro realizes that games for children are a thing of the past, and technology is taking over.  Hasbro was smart enough to go along with this trend and pair up with Apple for a new twist on an old game.  The game is a spinoff of Laser Tag by NERF.  The original game is two teams with vests, laser guns, and helmets.  Each team shoots a laser beam at their opponents in an allocated amount of time, and whichever team has the highest shots, wins.  The new game is a simulation.  The user downloads the free application to their iPhone or iPod touch and acquires the laser tag game.  Then the user will plug their device into their laser tag gun, starting the game.  The device will tell the user their battery life, their position on the map, and their shooting range.  The virtual shooting range can hit a target over 200 feet away.  The game will be available on August 1, 2012 and will include two laser guns for $70.  The recommended age for this game is ages 8 and up.  This game will truly bring fun of the past into today’s technology.

After enjoying the new features of the new Apple software update, it was a surprise for me to discover that many Apple users have had poor battery life due to bugs within the iOS 5 upgrade. Problems and complaints began in mid- October while a thread on Apple’s website (over 209 pages long!) records many stories of users facing the same problem. Ars Technica tested out the problem  themselves through a video- watching test. They discovered the test allowed “12 hours of battery life out of the iPhone 4 compared to 10 hours on the iPhone 4S—and both were running the same version of iOS 5 and had the same settings for screen brightness, location services, and the checking of e-mail. Standby time appeared to be roughly the same, with our iPhone 4 inching out the iPhone 4S by minutes.”
