The boom years of the internet were stoked in the 90s by universal public and business acceptance of this online medium, and the rapid increase in the power of the microchip. New businesses sprang up everywhere in the hope that the subsequent huge audiences would eventually bring in equally large revenue in selling services and advertising. As we all know, this did not materialize and the dot com boom was followed by the dot com crash in 2001. The business model that was set to change our lives, and the way we envisaged the future, had faltered. In 2004 Google, the one major survivor of the crash, was listed on the stock market. This fueled a revival in the fortunes of Silicon Valley often referred to as the 2.0 bubble. Google was able to place small, targeted advertisements next to the organic internet search results, and also on other websites, and that meant that many of the business models thought to have been buried by the dot com bust now rose from the grave. It seemed there was indeed money to be made from internet advertising, provided it could be accurately targeted. Other companies copied this business model and another series of popular sites, attracting millions of viewers was born. Companies such as My Space, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, for the most part social networking sites, came on to the market free of charge, in the hope that their captive audience and advertising would eventually pay for the privilege, as had been the case with Google. The blame for the past crash was placed firmly on the fact that not enough people had access to broadband, and now it would be different.

The realization in 2009 that someone would, at the end of the day, have to pay for all this, coupled with the world economic downturn and subsequent depression, has brought us back to the same situation as in 2001. Internet companies are again laying off staff, scaling back their costs, or even shutting down. There is even talk of charging for their content, information or services. So what is the next chapter for the internet industry? Technology marches on and the microchip gets more powerful and smaller each year. There are a record number of computers in an ever increasing number of countries. It has become part of our lives. But the problem of the business model remains. There is only so much advertising to go around, and the unthinkable idea of a charge to use sites is becoming an ever increasing possibility. The root of the problem lies in the sheer speed of the evolution of the industry. In the past, business models have taken years or even centuries to evolve, but with the speed of the technological advances and the subsequent spread of modern communications to nearly all parts of the globe, the science seems to be moving much faster than our thought processes. The world is pulling out of recession, or so we are told, and, of course, the industry will rise again, but the two questions are – when, and who will pick up the tab?

The hockey world cup 2010 is blowing the whole world in its smashing competitions. Some teams are playing wonderfully great while some are really embarrassing the entire nation. I won’t quote the names of countries as you guys are enough smart to judge, who’s the hero and who’s the zero eh?

Anyways, when everybody is cashing this grand hockey world cup event, how iPhone can stay back? You will see iPhone is entertaining its users with handful of hockey applications. So everyone who is hockey fan out here, you can now play this amazing game on your finger tips.
Here are some iPhone apps for the game HOCKEY.

World Cup Air Hockey

This is an iPhone app specially designed for the hockey lovers. It has three modes to choose from, and all of them require practice, so 1st mode is all about practicing. Yes, hard practice to win the game. You can play with your friends by head-to-head option, which is second mode and third mode allows you to choose a country you want to compete with, so it’s about your personal likeness. May be your country lose the match in hockey world cup 2010, you can make it win the game here and be a champion.

The graphics are pretty much appealing and grab the user’s interest throughout the game. And for the price, it is not bad either. It costs $.99 only. But if you want me to highlight the drawbacks of hockey iPhone app, I will rather be true. I didn’t find it as much appealing as I wished it should have been. But it’s alright for $.99, atleast one can try it once and will decide himself.

What I really didn’t like was the screen, it is too small for this game. I wish that they made it a little larger so that eye-ball can easily play the game. Small screen gives me a hard time specially when puck flies at me.

Now second problem which I encountered is that my fingers do not find any control over the angle at which I want to hit the puck. So that’s really annoying at times. But still I managed to score higher than my opponent but it could have been a lot better If the above two problems did not really hit me irritatingly.

I suggest you to try it once, and decide yourself or if you want any sports iPhone app, you just need to drop us a message and we will get back to you.
