*** TIPS:
1. Racing

•   Launch and shift when the dashboard indicator turns blue or green
•   If there is too much wheelspin, you are not going anywhere – watch the orange indicator on your dashboard
•   Once you learn how to drive properly, ignore the lights and find your own winning strategy
•   Nitrous is more effective on underpowered cars with lots of grip. Timing is crucial!

2. Cars and upgrades

•   Test drive before you buy a car!
•   The more your car costs, the tougher opposition you’ll face both offline and online
•   Upgrades count towards increasing car cost/level, while tuning doesn’t
•   Keep your car cost just under your level cap to get an advantage
•   Adjusting gear ratios (Garage -> Upgrade -> Tune) is costly, but lets you achieve times that are impossible on stock settings

3. Game modes and winnings

•   Race against beginner/amateur AI to get some quick cash and build your car
•   Defeat bosses and unlock achievements for extra RP
•   Go online and race against others to earn maximum cash/RP
•   If your car isn’t ready for online races, earn some cash in “Drivers Battle”
•   For the ultimate challenge, race against top players in Pro League

4. Misc

• Join facebook.com/DragRacingGame for news and strategy
• Try playing with vibration on (enable it in the “Settings” menu)!
• If the game runs slow on your phone, use the task manager to kill unnecessary background tasks, or reboot the device

OkCupid Android app

The use of mobile apps for dating and even meeting friends is definitely on the rise, and it seems that the future of this industry could lie in mobile platforms. Co-founder Sam Yagan agrees, and says that Grindr, a dating app for Gay men, helped pioneer this. But there’s still room left for innovation in other markets, he says.

Which is why OkCupid is bringing location to the mix with the latest version of its mobile apps. You can now broadcast if you are free, want others to join in plans and more. The bonus of OkCupid is that you can set up the feature to only send these broadcasts to people who are personality and interests matches for you in your location.

Other functionality includes the ability to chat with other people nearby, share photos, and more. If OkCupid finds a good match for you in their database for someone who lives nearby, the app will recommend the potential date. You’ll also be able to browse all your matches nearby.

There’s no doubt that the trend of matching people based on their interests and location is catching on. Andreessen Horowitz-backed LikeALittle is a startup that is also playing in this space. And it would make sense for more dating apps to start including location in their mobile offerings.

The App, appropriately named Facebook Messenger, is a simple IM (instant messaging) service using Facebook. You simply tap on an existing conversation and type. If you’re not within the App when someone sends you a message, you’ll receive a notification (the same way you would on Facebook on an actual computer).

The release could be considered both poorly timed or perfectly timed in the UK depending how you look on it…

Poorly timed, because right now, many social networks and IM services, such as BBM, Twitter and Facebook have been blamed for helping organise the recent London riots. Although it could be argued that they’ve also been used for post-clean-up operations.

Perfectly timed because Apple’s iOS5 (the operating system used by iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch), which is set for release in the near future, will feature a service called iMessage, allowing users of the above Apple products to message each other, for free, like BBM on BlackBerry devices.

Facebook Messenger is joining a league of many cross-platform messaging services such as Live Profile, which was released not long ago, along with pre-existing WhatsApp messenger, one of the most popular free Apps ever on the iTunes Store and consistently in the ‘Top 10 Free Apps’ chart. To get started on What’s App, you only need a phone number or name and you can get chatting to them straight away.

It remains clear that Facebook have big plans for Facebook messages, and right now the App remains rather basic; with the aim to get as many users of Facebook to use Facebook messages to its full potential.
