Apple Watch Can Become Your Own Fallout PIP-Boy
Are you an avid Apple Watch user who also happens to be a huge Fallout fan? If so, you are in luck! A clever designer (named Neven Mrgan) was able to create a fake Fallout PIP-Boy background image that will work on your Apple Watch! While the time is actually functional, unfortunately, the device still can't actually tell you your stats or personal inventory. It looks like we will have to wait a few hundred years and survive a Nuclear war for us to get that functionality.
Seriously though, if you want to "covert" your Apple Watch into a faux PIP-Boy, then just click on the image source link below. Also, don't forget, Fallout 4 goes on sale Tuesday, November 10th for Xbox One, PS4 & PC: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=fallout+4

Activision Blizzard Snaps Up Candy Crush Company King
With the words “Candy Crush” trending worldwide on Twitter today for quite some time, there’s no mistaking exactly what mobile games company King is best known for. The reason for the infuriatingly addictive mobile game trending today is because Activision Blizzard announced that it is to buy King, the game’s creator, for $5.9 billion, with the deal being unanimously approved by both boards.
MCV reports that this sum breaks down to $18 per share for King’s remaining shares, which is a fifth higher than King’s closing share price on October 30.
Announcing the deal, Activision said that acquiring the maker of Candy Crush and Candy Crush Soda Saga would increase its presence on mobile. The company expects its mobile revenue to reach $36 billion in 2015, growing more than half by 2019.... -
Apple is Said to be Expanding Personal Pickup to a Number of Countries Outside the U.S
According to a fresh report coming from the MacRumors publication, it seems that the Personal Pickup option is coming soon to international Apple Stores, as well. The publication said that Apple is already training retail clerks in Australia, France, the U.K., and other countries.
Rumor has it that the expansion could take place this month, possibly along with the release of the iPad Pro. However, while it's going to be announced in the near future, it will become available later this year, or even in 2016.
A big number of Apple's international markets allow customers to reserve in-store stock, but the actual purchase process has to be completed in-person as well. Having debuted back in 2011 in the US, this option could be useful for customers from other countries who want their... -
Walmart Discounts the 16GB iPad Mini 2 to $199, Down from $268
Starting with yesterday, Walmart has begun offering Apple's 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad mini 2 at a significant discount, selling it for $199 instead of $268. $199 is one of the lowest prices currently available for iPad mini 2, so if you're looking to buy one, now would be the right moment.
When compared to the current-generation iPad mini 4, the iPad mini 2 has a slower processor, less RAM, and it lacks Touch ID. It's also thicker and slightly heavier than the newest iPad mini. However, at this price, it's still a pretty good offer, as it comes with an A7 processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera.
This is indeed a very good deal, but more similar deals are expected to appear during the month of November due to Black Friday. For now, Walmart will be... -
