Gameloft brings new tournament to Asphalt 8: Airborne with tons of rewards.

I absolutely cannot afford any of the cars which are part of Asphalt 8: Airborne holidays package: BMW M2, Bentley (Isn't that a watch? :)) etc. I probably wouldn't be writing this post if I had any of these cars, and would probably be posting to Instagram a lot, Kardashian-like. 

It's difficult to find sleep on Christmas night, and this applies to all of us, not just kids. If you can't sleep, why not use that time doing something fun and driving luxury cars around the world. Gameloft the game maker for Android and the other Mobile OS platform, came up with some tournament for the holidays.

The Holiday Cup tournament started on December 18 and will last until December 25. Then you have the New Year's Eve Cup and the Countdown Cup. The tournament takes place in the Alps, Venice, Iceland, Rio. Drive your cars throughout the entire tournament to progress in the games and win rewards in the form of credits, tuning kits, tokens credit and, obviously, cars.

Check out the update in Google Play Store and Happy Holidays.

Google adds 54 new country-based holiday to the Calendar app.

I started an app project over year ago on Windows Phone, which was a local holiday app which is still available today in the Windows Store. The idea came because I was frustrated that builtin calendars on my phones did not have country's holidays listed or in the case this feature was there, Mauritius was not in the list of supported countries. So I made the app to save holidays to my Outlook.com calendar which then replicated to all my devices whether they be Windows Phone, Android and iOS. Today, Google is going the same way by adding 54 new country-based holiday to the Google Calendar app, bringing the total of holiday calendars to 143, including Mauritius. This new feature is already available for download in Google Play store.

Follow the steps to add or change National holidays:
  1. Open the Google Calendar app
  2. In the top left, touch the Menu icon > Settings > Holidays.
  3. Touch the name of the current country.
  4. Touch a new country to add it, or touch the currently selected country to remove it.
