Microsoft Band (Smartwatch, the controversial future of technology in terms of security?)

Well, it can't be helped if you're trying to accept the objective of improving yourself physically with the endless Health and Fitness related technical activities like the smartwatches themselves as if your fitness records are being tracked and recorded down for whatever objectives you're trying to fulfill. Also, the smartwatches are kind of expensive to buy as well similar to other smart devices. However, what makes all smart devices dumb in terms of security is that there are some malwares and backdoor somewhere inside the hardware and software of the smart devices that eventually track you down. This has been going too far and evil like trying to detect and capture bad guys. And in fact, if the security controversy is not enough for Android Wear and Apple Watch, here's something you should think twice before buying as well, Microsoft Band.
Perhaps, smartwatches are the next thing to avoid if you want to be safe from that on-going cyber-spying stupidity but when it comes to Health and Fitness services for smartwatches, there should be trackers no matter what. And what is the new Microsoft CEO for when it comes to Microsoft Band that is available in the US? Speaking of regions, it is US only! Another thing they have come up with is Microsoft Health which has the Intelligence Engine that tracks you down of your Health and Fitness activities. But what makes you avoid this service at all costs is that it also tracks down your sleep, food and even other health related activities as well. It's kind of useful for avoiding eating too much for example or maybe you need some balance in your drinking habit like trying to keep yourself healthy.
Lastly, another controversial thing about smartwatches is that they can also be used for piracy and other illegal purposes. To prevent that, maybe there shouldn't be sound recording feature on smartwatches to prevent illegal recording of whatever movies people watch. Sure, the microphone feature can be kept intact for voice commands but for Microsoft Band, we're not sure what its OS is.
Battery-wise, the device is a little bit better than Apple Watch but Samsung Galaxy Gear series has better performance and battery life due to different OS that it doesn't take up so much resources.

Apple Watch UI on Iphone

Bear in mind that this is not the official thing but it seems that someone has made an app or perhaps modified the home-screen of the IOS to make it look like the Apple Watch UI which may look kind of different than the IOS UI as we know of now. Although it may be a prototype experiment, it is a nice opportunity and it kind of reminds people of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Honeycomb Start Screen except that it is solid looking with no glasses and honeycomb shapes whatsoever. It may look like you can scroll in multiple directions just like you can in Apple Watch unlike the Android Wear and the Tixen OS powered Galaxy Gears which may have like one to few icons on the home screen at the same time.

How to verify end-user experience in IPv6 network webinar

Another webinar from a different company that uses the IPv6 technology, this one is about the end-user experience in IPv6 network and that it can be similar to the one for IPv4 network. Still, we have to keep in mind that there may be differences between IPv4 and IPv6 in user experience.
The most important thing is probably the network performance as any technical disobedience from the network may result in the user getting raged or whining about it. Other features mentioned in the webinar included the Jittering, Latency, Loss, Availability and even how things work in various services. Different networking services need different requirements. Note that some services are sensitive to delays and some are to loss.
Also, there are various technical factors to test and there were too many of them to note of. And important thing is that any networking problem may cost money if end-users are affected so you will need to do take it step-by-step.
Lastly, for the Netrounds service for business users, you can install the service on the VM, USB or even the HDD that will be connected to the Netrounds account of yours. It's sort of like cloud networking or something to me and best of all, it has IPv6 support even if it's free. Downside is that you will need the company information if you want to register and it may be why I didn't register for that at all after the day of that webinar. There was also the Network Life Cycle in which you have to take note of as well.

Facebook being sued by Room, Inc. for stealing idea

You know, there have been rip-off products like this being recently released by Facebook and people who know the products that came out first in the past are not happy about that. However, there may be childish faggots that claim that those past products are the ripoffs of the recent ones without any research whatsoever. They may be absolute fools for that that we may have to keep a lookout for them. What we can do is to mark their claims/trolls for spam or something indecent until they have made their behavior and attitude good by researching. They should learn on researching stuffs on their own without any help. It's just easy to do so online to know which one came up with such product first in the past. However, the companies that came up with theirs first may end up coming up with the features that are the rip-offs of the recent products' similar features and that's one downside that ruins the purpose of anything original.
Bear in mind about the rip-offs that contain too much unoriginal contents, this may be the right time to sue the ones behind those like what Facebook is being sued for stealing idea. They surely have screwed up their business up their technical ass! And if you support the Facebook version of this kind of app, that's an absolute shame on you! But the product by Room, Inc isn't the only existence, is it? There are also products similar to these that had existed in the past. The ones made by Microsoft, AOL, CompuServe, etc.
Perhaps, we should try out the original products and their good rip-offs when possible! That should give us, good product usage of them, not this unoriginal shit by Facebook! In fact, we don't know what is Facebook's next motive to us besides this app.

Office Swap

It is said to be the modern evolution of PowerPoint as many people use and no programming knowledge is required. The idea is that you can bring in the contents from various online services like cloud storage services, social networking services, video sharing services and so on into the modern presentation that can be seen on any device. This removes the burden on having to make a webpage with embedded presentation that allows users to view it online. Having embedded presentation on the website is likely to be a classic problem but the modern software technology allows the presentations to be viewable online that easily. You should be able to make one at Slideshare for example so that other people can view it and it's a popular service.
There's also the Office Online service which is the online version of the Office apps we know of. It may have superseded Office Viewer series as Office Online may have more functions but it's limited. Even with the Office apps installed, they are still not that touch friendly as there are too many features suited for desktop and laptop use and besides, they don't look anything modern enough compared to OneNote Modern UI version which is a little bit challenging to take down and modify notes from unless you know the tactics.
Right now, Office Swap is still under beta stage and the only way to register is through invitation. Also, the features there are still limited.

PhotoMath (Controversial educational app?)

Sure looks technically experimental to solve the mathematics problems for you but if the problems to us are manageable, you don't want to use this app at such kinds of moments like this as it is looking like you're cheating in doing your homework with this app. If that's the case of more retarded cheaters that will be attracted in the future thanks to this app, then the schools should ban this kind of app like this. All it does is to give you solutions instantly to whatever mathematical problems you're facing. You're better off getting solutions from your teachers, professors, friends or even tutors instead of this future controversy. They're basically dumbing down future students with this app no matter how many functional features it has in solving many types of mathematical problems.
Oh, difficult topics like calculus, multi-variable algebraic expressions? You should still be better off looking for solutions in the non-technical way because this kind of app is like a tool for cheaters to me. We want the proper learning tools in the world of technology, not the tools or features that attract cheaters. Genius people and hardworking learners won't be happy when they discover this controversial app.

Xbox One Kinect can be used with PC

Now, that will be possible as Microsoft has announced the adapter that connects between the new Kinect and the PC via the USB port. Unlike the one for the Xbox 360, you can use the existing new Kinect from the Xbox One and connect it to the adapter that will also be connected to the PC. From there, the technical experiment is yours for whatever project you want. If only the new Kinect is the complete separate that people can buy it without the Xbox One, perhaps, the only reason for people doing that is that they have some projects to do on the PC.

Google Inbox

This may be separate from Gmail but what it does is to sort out the emails you receive into respective categories. Perhaps, it is more like some kind of an experiment that you will get in the future, not now as we may probably think that it may be merged with Gmail. If you had already opted for the new Gmail introduced last year, the sorting was already done. At this moment, the feature is in beta phase and invite only so it's not the easy way to get into it.

Discover, Bemani Ruins Event

Well, at least I have got enough preparation and time to anticipate in this on-going event that has been going on ever since the Beatmania IIDX Spada days this year. All you have to do is to keep on playing the specific games to get tons of stones needed to build the pyramid for those games you've played. Other games you don't play will have their pyramids filled in a little bit. For me, I don't play Pop 'N Music, Reflec Beat, DDR, DEA and other Bemani spin-off games like Future TomTom and BeatStream. Perhaps, I don't have interests in playing them or maybe those games are not available in Singapore. Also, the Bemani games that are not the main ones don't have their own pyramids for unlocking certain songs. What they do though is to give you additional stone boosts but I don't know if that's going to help from playing Sound Voltex.
I actually have some goals of mine for Beatmania IIDX and especially for this event. The goal is to attempt as many Lincle, Tricoro and Pendual songs as possible as well as to unlock the remaining ones from Tricoro. The remaining ones left for Tricoro will be the Cafe De Tran songs and even then, certain songs from each event are seriously hard. They range from Levels 9 to 10 in Hyper difficulty and I can attempt up to Level 9. However, I had actually Easy-Cleared some Spada Leggendaria songs with Auto-Scratch On in Hyper and they were actually in Level 10 but there's no way I can prove this to anyone unless I have the credit card to buy the E-Amusement Basic Course perhaps to see my play data on each song. Also, the Spada Leggendaria songs are still Paseli exclusive when it comes to anytime access.
Lastly, you will need to gain the alarm power points to unlock the three new songs that are playable in all the main Bemani games and especially that you need to awaken those statues related to those songs tons of times like they were already awakened two months ago so all is left now is to gain alarm power. It should be self-explanatory if you have enough time and I had already unlocked those three songs for future play.

Android 5.0

No manufacturer/brand wars allowed/intended here as the proper anticipation from me is that IOS 8 and Android 5.0 have the phone encryption enabled by default. For Android, there are already those encryption systems that can be optionally turned on by the users but so far, it looks like we don't know how to enable those and my Android and IOS devices are really old and buying a new one just for improved security, future technology like UHD photography/videography and of course, newer games to play is not an easy feat for me in the future as those devices are really expensive.
The HTC One M7 and M8 and its mini variants will get this version once it is out and especially for the entire series of Xperia devices by Sony whether it's a phone, tablet, etc. The last thing will be Google Nexus 4, 5, 7 and above that will also get the upgrade as well. There are also the Motorola mobile devices running Android but what's the point of making them count in the list in our thinking cap since Motorola is like acquired by some company by then? And NVIDIA Android game consoles? Who's gonna play those?
This announcement from Google is going to excite the Android users the most when it comes to Android 5.0 so it's not the same for various Nexus devices they have announced as well.

Microsoft Keyboard for Android Wear

In fact, a standard virtual keyboard may be too big to fit in the small device like the smartwatch, not even the keypad may fit in as well. However, Microsoft has come up with such a solution in which you can write a letter or symbol as a way of entering stuffs on the virtual textbox entry in the smartwatch. It's not as fast as as using the standard keyboard to type but the best way will be to use the voice command for the smartwatch. How do you like that? Using voice commands to do voice report or something on the smartwatch like a freaking hero or something? Why the hell are you writing or typing on the smartwatch when you can use the voice commands?
Perhaps, there should be the walkie-talkie kind of app for the smartwatches that will allow you to do this kind of voice communication but in the meantime, this is more or less the research experiment Microsoft has done for the Android Wear and only those with 320X320 resolution should be able to work. Now, how do we combine voice communication with text messaging? For whatever we say, it should be inputted as a text similar to having a voice command to search for something via Google Now, Siri and Contana but a virtual keyboard on Android Wear? Have they even seen the calculator watches? They should be unique for calculation but we may have to warn you that such kinds of watches like the smartwatches and calculator watches are disallowed when it comes to tests and exams.
Another handy thing I can imagine is the alarm feature for smartwatches and that it should sound quite modernized if you will.

Microsoft's YouTube videos with stolen product keys in comments accidentally taken down

What's up with the thoughts from the leakers and pirates? How could the same mistake happen to the upcoming Windows 10? Well, it's not the first time Microsoft is trying to make sure that leakages of their products should not happen but things are backfiring even before the Technical Preview was announced for download in which there were already screenshots of what was going to be in between the Technical Preview and the next preview or perhaps the final version.
And in fact, this kind of piracy of prototype products has been going on for years regardless of whichever brand but when it comes to video games, things may have been that strict from the video game companies that they have been doing whatever they can to avoid leakage of their games by leakers but this is something the tech giants have been missing for years. There's also the warning message on the bottom-right of the screen for the private prototype builds, that is, the builds being done and shown around the company premises and that they are not for public or other companies to use. Public prototype versions won't have this message but the leakers have the guts to bypass that for the sake of piracy purposes.
Even if the products like Windows OSes have gone to the final stage which is RTM of course, it is still wrong to take product keys like that so that anyone can try them. The product keys should be bundled with every genuine copy of the product and especially that the products for business use should have the multiple licenses.
I have been beta-testing products and they surely have their own product keys that apply to specific builds only such as Windows 7 Beta that has its own beta product key and that exact same product key can be used by other beta-testers as well.
Then, moving on to the proper topic here based on what happened above. There have been illegal promotions in the YouTube comments regarding the stolen product keys in Microsoft's official YouTube videos. It's illegal and such usage has been done by the pirates and if anything bad happens, perhaps, the pirates are to blame. Out of the general reasons when it comes to reporting comments on YouTube, the only option I have been choosing is that I take stupid and useless troll comments for spams. Is there an option called "Piracy (something)" in the list that Microsoft could choose as part of the comment report? In fact, as there are so much kinds of comments that promote piracy, there may be too many to complain to YouTube like that but the thing is, the YouTube videos that belong to Microsoft were removed. If your YouTube account has three copyright complaints, that account will be banned.

Opera Mini for Tizen-based Samsung Gear S

What the hell, a web browser for the smartwatch? This is something that should not exist. It's ridiculous to surf the net on the watch or even the calculator itself. Of course, the watches are having the small screen and it's kind of impossible to see everything on the page at once. In fact, there's even the Galaxy App Store for the Samsung smartwatches running Tizen OS which is the great move that improves the performance of the smartwatches since running Android on them took up so much resources for some secret reasons.
Opera Mini is known for low data usage and fast page loading processes and it has been in various mobile devices as well. You can access the favorite links and social networks with this version but how can this fit in the small devices like the smartwatches? No matter how wide the screen is, it's sort of like using the colored cellphones with internet access of the past.

New Skype for Windows and Mac OSX

OK, a new version of Skype for Windows and OSX, you say? Well, this one's for the desktop edition for Windows users and we don't know if this app can switch to the modern UI version when in tablet mode, that is for some Windows 10 ability. There were some web browsers for Windows 8 in which you can switch between desktop and tablet modes with the use of the menus but it doesn't seem to be automatic in hardware when switching in between modes like switching to laptop mode should automatically switch to the desktop version of the web browser from tablet version for instance.
This new version surely has the new UI but since this is the desktop version, is it that necessary to make the buttons even larger like that just for the sake of touchscreen? In fact, the app is highly comfortable for mobile devices like the phones and tablets as if they are multiple ways to use Skype and especially when you make phone calls with it. The new UI is surely the reflection to Microsoft today and especially that some of the services will be renamed as well such as Onedrive, Azure and even Intune. The word, Windows, will be discarded of course and it looks like the new logos consist of the four different squares in different colors with the Modern font just like the recent Microsoft logo.

Windows 10 Technical Preview Controversy

While we anticipated the hell out of Windows 10, there might be some inaccuracies with the upcoming features of it that to me don't seem to be parts of Windows 10 at all like they're more like parts of Windows 9. In the Technical Preview, there may be a new Start Menu/Screen, Virtual Desktop, new IE, Cortana for Windows, new Notification Center, new desktop UI animation, new shadow for the desktop app windows, the change of color corresponding to the background or something and the change to the File Explorer layout. However, there may be a security controversy that turns this OS in technical preview form into Windows 9 Technical Preview as if some idiot wants to get his hands on whatever the users do in Windows 10 Technical Preview with the stupid backdoor/keylogging feature implemented. There may be wonders from people if this is the same for the previous OSes but if true, what were we beta-testing OSes for? Were our beta-testing opportunities the complete waste by then?
Also, there comes the new term, FUD or Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, which is the business term the companies have been having for the sake of their stable business. Any inferior-ass technology in the company may ruin the business for us but this term also applies to everyone else. By security, even tech companies have been concerned about customers' privacy being violated that they have to take time and need some technical resources and ideas to protect it. But by doing so, it can cause the cyber-criminals to use this protection level to get through without being detected based on whatever bad actions they do.
There was a news like that on Neowin but it was quickly taken down as it already attracted fears among the Windows beta-testers. Unlike Ubuntu nowadays where you can switch GUI to GNOME, KDE or whatever and remove Unity entirely, this is not the same for Windows 10 Technical Preview. If this keylogging thing is your concern, why do you want to beta-test that in the first place? You could have beta-tested other OSes instead although the better beta-testing opportunity nowadays will be the new Ubuntu OSes. Until then, we don't know if the privacy critcisms have been addressed by Canonical for the new Unity. Once they have been addressed for the new Unity and that it is out in the future, we should be able to use it.
The motive for this controversy is to ensure that there should be some customers' feedbacks sent to the company and we don't know if Windows 10 is going to face the same disaster as what Windows 8 did. Definition purposes of Fast, Fluid and Smooth are broken, tons of advertisements are seen in various modern apps including the Xbox Dashboard, etc. What is highly protected by then? The extensions you have in your browser? The Onedrive and Outlook?

Google buyout offer to keep Android open is declined

It's not the first time that Microsoft was interested in Cyangenmod in which they could probably buy that company so that they could use this technology for their Ex-Nokia Android devices. It was a bad idea to acquire that in the first place as we don't know what will Microsoft do next? Will the new Cyangenmod technology be supported exclusively on Nokia Android devices only by then and especially for the new Microsoft Android devices based on those? Minecraft would be multi-platform even if their makers were acquired by Microsoft but acquisition of Cyangenmod company is pretty much a bad idea in the first place. It seemed that Microsoft should be their partners to use Cyangenmod for their Nokia Android devices they're holding so that they can use their own services and technology in those devices but the downside is that there won't be Google bundled apps once those devices use the Cyangenmod OS that nobody may want to buy them.
Then, the recent news came in like Google decided to acquire Cyangenmod but it was declined. We don't know what will Google do next but we suspect that their productivity actions can be even worse than what Microsoft is planning to do next. A rejection like this by Cyangenmod may be a good thing and despite having a nice partnership with OnePlus and other companies, it appears that OnePlus made things backfire with invitation system and anyone who wanted to buy that phone was kind of disappointed.

Mushihimesama Duel

A social shmup game based on the main arcade series, Mushihimesama. This one is developed by some other company and we can assume that they already have the permission from Cave. It will look like the game will be released sometime this month for the IOS. It fills up the entire screen unlike Mushihimesama main series on the IOS. Also, this social spinoff has additional characters and you're versing another player to the similar action to the one in Strikers 1945 II on IOS and Android. Unlike the main series, you get the health bar instead of the number of lives and you are stunned for a while after taking damage although the bullets are not gone completely after doing so.

Shikigami No Shiro for IOS

From what we saw, the game for the IOS can be suited for Iphone 4 and above as the wallpaper doesn't even full up the entire widescreen for Iphone 5 and 6 but on the Ipad, it is completely fine and the game looks similar to other shmup games ported from the arcades to the IOS. The gameplay resolution is on the top center of course with the button layout looking quite similar. However, as the game is released like this year, I may probably assume that the game works for Iphone 5 onwards like we may be out of luck. Not to mention that the momentum for this series is completely dried out after Shikigami No Shiro III and Alfa System is already developing something else ever since the past. It may be the same for Skonec which is still around and we had discovered a Dance Central-like game developed by them. Also, the in-game buttons are kind of confusing for some reason as they completely full of text instead of picture icons and they're in Japanese.

Facebook tightens up guidelines for social experiments

Okay. Sure, there might be the fact that Facebook opposed certain organizations that were against the other parts of the cyber-stability such as the Net Neutrality, of course and recently, it seems that Facebook had learnt their lesson from doing all the experimental bullshit without users' knowledge. It already led the users to bashing on the service for this but this kind of improvement is still far from respecting the users' privacy. Even more bullshit is that, Facebook is already planning to collaborate with another advertising company that is already purchased by Microsoft and collect your health records without getting concerned. We have already known that Apple was already concerned about what they would do about users' health data and especially for the controversial iWatch and similar devices in which they may cause more accidents than ever that they should be banned from being in the vehicle. Rather than a digital or video check on whatever that's inside the vehicle for those devices, there should be a sign pasted in the vehicle saying that those wearable devices are not allowed in the vehicle.
So what, is the lesson a lie or something from Facebook when they're invading other parts of privacy? No, it's the truth that they had learnt the lesson but the other bullshits they have been doing should stop.

Apple Carplay with Pioneer

Perhaps, you may be better off with the normal GPS systems as certain mobile apps can be seriously distracting while you drive if you don't know what you're doing. I guess that the Photos app may be kind of unncessary as it doesn't provide you any driving information. It may be worse for you if you're driving to certain location for the first time and the map won't do any exact justice for you if you're planning to drive to that location by car probably due to outdated or inaccurate information. In fact, certain places are damn near the train stations like they're a few or several buildings away to your destination but this is like the Map online services from Google, Apple or even Bing are like playing a fool with you. Sure, the Apple Maps might be controversial back then that it was replaced with more accurate Google Maps but even then, irrevalent apps on embedded devices based on Android or IOS are seriously distracting and can be used to cause even more unexpected accidents on the road. Or better yet, don't even think of connecting this thing to your IOS or Android device and using that mobile device at all while you drive.
The positive thing about this is that it has the Radio app, Siri, Music app, Maps app, etc. You want to make a call or answer the call, you can somewhat try it with the CarPlay although I don't know if you can make a call with CarPlay alone without having to connect to your phone for the sake of that because we may expect a hands-free phone call lest you get distracted. Radio is fine in case you may need to hear the news or something just like the on-board car radio devices as well as the Siri which is the complete must for hands-free interaction. Music is fine and so is the Maps app. But what's not fine is probably the Photos and Messaging apps which may cause some sort of distraction.
Now, it may seem that this kind of technoloy is limited to certain manufacturers so it is rare to find a car holding this inaccurate technology but still, the main focus as a driver is on proper driving without technical distractions whatsoever.

Windows 10 Technical Preview

Well, it may be a surprise that they might have changed the name to Windows 10 instead of 9 probably due to various reasons they have such as the existence of Windows 9x series OSes or maybe something else. It looks like another Windows OS I'm anticipating as long as the company has respected their consumers and followed their requests and at least, the company is listening. The Start Menu is back for the desktop and laptop users and the Start Screen is still intact for tablet users. The Modern apps have the title bar which may be easy to close but those are for tablet users and that they should be in full screen mode like always. Another neat feature is the virutal desktop which is similar to the one Mac OSX, Linux and other OSes have been using although having to add too much additional desktop workspaces is already unncessary. Just a few desktop workspaces and that will do. The next change regards the File Explorer whose layout is changed a little bit and that there will be no borders for the windows by default. Not to mention that there may be new animations and new effects.
Like Windows 8, this new OS is going to be everywhere, on tablets, laptops, desktops and even phablets and smartphones. The phablet and smartphone interface will be something like the one in Windows Phone but Xbox One having this new OS? We don't know if they're really doing OS right. If done right, there may be chances that it will be ported to other devices including the Xbox One with new DirectX technology.
Unfortunately, they forgot to mention the new IE, the new DirectX, Cortana for Windows and other stuffs and that the conference event was really a small one. We don't know if the new Microsoft CEO approves this but it seems that the main fault with Windows 8 laid with Sinofsky, the man behind the product disaster as if Windows 8 and 8.1 are more suited towards tablet users but even then, it's still a disastrous mix. If Windows 10 for tablets ditches the desktop mode entirely, that's a good thing. If Windows 10 for desktops and laptops with no touchscreen has only the legacy ones, that's also a good thing as long as it doesn't have the modern apps in there. But unfortunately, we're not sure if they may end up following the same disaster with Windows 10 or something as Windows Phone to a surprise is already in the right direction.
And what else Microsoft needs to work on? Ah, the backdoors! They may need to make sure that those backdoors are all completely gone if they want to make this OS more fast, fluid and smooth as Windows 8 is already plagued with all kinds of disasters that it breaks the purpose of being that fast, fluid and smooth in the first time.

Beatmania IIDX Pendual - Chrono Seeker (Controversial event?)

The event started yesterday and that day was also Ryu's birthday and thus some of his songs displayed in the daily featured song section in player information. The concept is sort of like Legend Cross from Beatmania IIDX Tricoro where you need the crystal shards to unlock the songs. Unfortunately, without the proper information about this, there's no way to get additional ideas on how to get those crystal shards. You should be able to get them by attempting those boss songs.
The first time I saw more of Chrono Seeker event was probably from the local arcades where I was standing in front of the machine, attempting to understand what was going on. You're at the arcades, moving on to the IIDX machine to play it, only to find the power going off. Then, moving on to the club and you're ready for the party to kick in and all of the sudden, the power goes off, everything is frozen in time as if the time stops. When that happens, you encounter the two new characters representing present and future. They talked something about some energy as well as the fairy thing which I could barely understand. Also, the intro story was damn long like it's going to last you about 5-10 minutes. People were like watching me going through this while intending to play other games but they couldn't bother to understand what's going on from all the visual novel thingy as it's entirely in Japanese. If this is the Asian release, why can't they translate everything like they already did with Dance Evolution Arcade, Future Tom Tom, etc? It doesn't have to be westernized that way, knowing that it's an Asian release. Lastly, the result screen doesn't do shit or something but you're supposed to collect those crystal shards during the game itself.
The next part is the controversial thing about this event. One of the boss songs has the extremely indecent looking boss that ruins the series for me. The bosses from IIDX Tricoro events looked fine but this makes IIDX Pendual look like a CERO C or D all because of that song. What were they thinking? Maybe someone should bring a cover or something that covers the BGA section without covering anything else. Another problem is the BGM glitch where the event story BGM never stops no matter screen you're in. It's noisy as hell and it ruins your playing but I was lucky not to have encountered this bug. It's someone else who has encountered it but it looks like he's not the only one. Maybe there should be a patch that address this problem but even then, this event is controversial and so is some of the boss songs.

Strikers 1945 II for IOS and Android

The previous mobile versions were technically fine until the recent version started to lag on my Android device that it may be unstable enough that it may end up shutting itself down, back to the home screen as it may be unresponsive. It's kind of annoying when the apps and the later versions of the previous apps are released in the future and you're using them in your older device and hence this kind of annoyance. Perhaps, I may need to buy the new IOS and Android devices but they may be kind of expensive and cheap-ass Android devices may be technically inferior but the superior ones may be expensive as hell. It may be a difficult decision as of today on which Android device to buy at this moment due to the price and other stuffs.
So, we got like 4 loops as I believed from the previous version of the game ported to IOS and Android but the real challenge laid from further stages in Normal difficulty with the Professional difficulty starting to be almost on par with the arcade version. Master difficulty is sort of like Loop 2 of the arcade version or maybe Loop 1.5. On the recent version, the game's divided into four difficulties but each one has one loop instead so be glad about that. Not to mention that you get additional red emeralds for higher difficulty you choose. Downside is that it costs golds and it is more difficult than usual, even if you have your partner ship along which is kind of handy although it has different behavior than the one in Caladrius Blaze's Synchro Mode.
The title screen music is based on the song from one of the stages and its arrangement is nicer but it's the only arrangement you can find on the app.
Downsides of the game regard the way your ship fires and having to waste more golds just to unleash more bombs at the last resort. What the hell, that's kind of stupid to waste additional virtual money on unleashing more bombs when you have run out of them. That defeats the purpose of the arcade shmup gaming. You should have treated this game as the arcade game as it was originally released in the arcades in the 90s as stated in the game's description, not the mobile game. Another problem is the mis-coloration of one of the bosses and some of the backgrounds are missing compared to the arcade counterpart. The console version problem regards the pixellation of the sprites and the slowdowns that kick in for some of the stages.
This is developed and published on the same mobile platforms by the same company that publishes and develops Sengoku Blade on the same platforms. Sure, things are entirely in Korean language but you should be able to get through the language barrier to get this game from the app store.
