Clash Royale vs. Hearthstone – A Battle Between the World’s Best Mobile Card Games

Clash Royale is one of the most popular mobile games in world with millions of daily active players. However, the game’s popularity started dwindling when the folks at Blizzard decided to release a mobile version of Hearthstone. The two games are competing in the same bracket being card games and today we are going to find out which one is worth our time the most.

Complex Strategies

The reason why there are so many people playing card games is that they get to create complex strategizes and use them to defeat their foes. Clash Royale and Hearthstone feature a wide range of cards that synergize with each other and players can use them to counter-attack and dismantle their opponent’s moves.

While the two games share the same combat style, we have to give it to Hearthstone when it comes to complex strategies. The game has hundreds of cool cards that have special abilities such as Taunt (forces all enemies to attack the card) and Death Rattle (special ability when the card is destroyed).

Choosing a Class

One of the coolest things about Clash Royale is the fact that the game doesn’t limit players to a single role. Players can use their imagination to create strategies and roles that they enjoy. On the other hand, Hearthstone gives players the ability to choose one of the following roles: Shaman, Warlock, Hunter, Mage, Druid, Rogue, Paladin and Warrior.

Fun Gameplay

Truth be told, both games are super fun to play. Hearthstone features a turn-based gameplay that relies on mana crystals, while Clash Role is focused on filling up Elixirs. However, Clash Royale gets the upper hand when it comes to gameplay because it is more fast-paced and also because “anything goes”.

Final Words

From the looks of it, Hearthstone is the more polished game that features better lore and card designs. However, Clash Royale excels when it comes to gameplay and players are the ones who need to choose between fun combat or beautiful design and complex strategies.

Macbook Air 2018 Release Date, Incredible Features and Improvements

Apple laptops have gone through many phases in recent years. A warning has gone a long way from the Macbook Plastic series to the MacBook Pro series, while MacBook Air has been replaced with the ultra-slim 12 “MacBook. It seems, however, that 2018 could be the one in which MacBook Air could return to public attention with an up-to-date and lower-priced design, which could provide more than ten percent increase in Apple laptop sales.

The date of launching is nearer than we expected

The MacBook Air 2018 is about to be produced in about 6 million units in 2018, so Americans have big expectations about sales of the new product. The big problem will be that the world hopes the new MacBook Air 2018 to be cheap, and with a Retina Display it could have a higher price than some of its customers would like.

To new MacBook will be available in the second quarter of 2018, with a lower price than the $ 999 at which the current MacBook Air is currently listed. The lower price would ensure an increase of 10-15% compared to 2017 for sales of Apple’s portable computers.

The incredible features, the new laptop has

The MacBook Air 2018 is expected to include a 13.3-inch diagonal screen retina, identical to the one used in the MacBook Pro, with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. The new Retina screen for the MacBook Air 2018 will be bought by Apple from LG, after trying to buy cheaper screens in China but did not find the desired quality. The MacBook Air 2018 will have new screens delivered by LG from April, and production should have begun at the end of May or early June. Quanta will produce 70% of the units of the new MacBook Air 2018, while Foxconn will produce 30% of them, and the new laptop should be announced at WWDC 2018 in June.

Google Earth Update Download Available for Windows PCs with Additional Support for Browsers

Google Earth is an app that provides users with a 3D-rendering of the Earth by using high-quality satellite imagers. The developers have been working on improving it and the latest update offers new features.

Google Earth services

Developers have been working on increasing the app’s accessibility via web browsers due to the fact that it isn’t free. It can be accessed on the Chrome web browser which is owned by Google but will soon be available for Mozilla Firefox too.

Google Earth has two versions, namely Basic and Pro. The Pro version offers users print HD resolution screenshots, advanced GIS data importing (data about traffic count, parcels, etc.), the ability to edit and share movies offline with Quicktime HD and Windows Media and an improved measurement feature.

Regardless of the Google Earth version you have, its installation depends on having LSB 4.1 libraries, Windows XP, Vista, 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.6.0 or higher. For the latest update, users will have to download the latest direct installers 6.2 and 7.x for Windows and Mac from the Google Earth support page. This update will include access to information about the places you would like to see or the least explored areas and even visit them in 3D view. Moreover, you can check and read about different travel experiences in about 40 available books.

What about Mozilla Firefox and other browsers?

Google Earth Support Demo for Mozilla Firefox has been published on Twitter by the Google developers themselves. The support is only extended to Chrome via Native Client. Google Earth Support will be offered on Edge and Safari but nothing is certain at the moment until the software is ported to Mozilla Firefox.

WebAssembly, an open standard to run code in browsers, is being worked on at Google which is already functional on Mozilla Firefox.

Google Maps is Scheduled for a Great Update – Improved Reality Navigation

Google is set to update its apps and Google Maps is one of them. Last week, The company inaugurated its ideas at the Google I/O developers conference. Some of the future characteristics are already available on test versions for a select group of users.

Custom list of locations

Google Maps will have the feature to mark your previous locations on custom lists. It will announce you through a progress bar when you visit one or more places frequently.

Improved reality navigation

By accessing your phone’s camera, Google Maps will make your journeys easier by using machine learning to detect the environment and location.

Better screen usage

When users want to access more information about a certain institution or location, they access the location information page. Unfortunately, this page is full-screen and takes a lot of space. Google Maps will no longer have a full-screen information page but a third-screen one.

Personalised recommendations

Google Maps accesses your own location history, the road accessibility depending on where you are and your Google reviews for providing a better location, for example a restaurant. A match percentage and a star rating will provide you the most suitable choices based only on your preferences.

New Explore tab

Just as TripAdvisor and Yelp, Google Maps will show the latest nearby activities and events.

Updated Material Theme design language

Google Maps will have colour-filled buttons and more rounded corners in order to provide a better app design. The practical directions and contact details will be featured at the bottom. The top will have pictures of the selected location.

The developers didn’t mention an exact period or date for the updates at the Google I/O last week. However, people expect the new Google Maps to be available in the following months.

WhatsApp Update Affects User Safety – Simple Solution To Fix It

Since WhatsApp has the option to block contacts, you would expect them to actually stay this way. However, after the latest app update, things went wrong. Last week, many users complained that they were still getting messages from these people despite blocking them. Moreover, these contacts reappeared in their contact list.

Are there any other options affected by this update?

Fortunately, other user options have been unaffected. The latest WhatsApp update has targeted group chat features such as limiting the number of members in a group chat as an admin or blocking any potential re-invites in an unwanted group.

However, a few weeks ago, a random “black dot” message appeared on the app screen and if it was clicked, it would download thousands of tiny characters and affect the phone’s CPU and render messaging capabilities, crashing the device in the end. You simply receive a message with very little visible text and a black circle emoji next to it. It can’t even be stopped by the traditionally close and then re-open the app method. Instead, not even restarting your phone doesn’t do wonders.

There is a relatively simple solution to this problem

For the app to finally take your option into account, people must toggle it on and off similarly to notifications. You simply remove the blocked contact from your Address Book and then you block it again. Users would have been better without having to do this again and again but it is still a simple method to block them for good.

It seems that the company has encountered various problems during the past few weeks. WhatsApp hopes to get back on the right tracks with the newly implemented options regarding group limitation, personalized description and keeping in touch – or not – with others.
