Apple Rumored To Launch Retina iPad mini in Q3 2013

Appleinsider's Sam Oliver says:

A new report claims Apple is gearing up to launch a second-generation iPad mini with Retina display in the third calendar quarter of this year, with a redesigned 9.7-inch iPad also in the works.

The details were reported on Monday by CNYes (via Macotakara), which said that Apple has not seen a significant decline in iPad mini shipments since the device launched in late 2012. In all, Apple is reportedly planning to ship 55 million iPad mini units in calendar 2013.

Scripture Sword is Live On The App Store

Reformed Games is bringing a new level of quality fun to Christian apps and games. Their first release, Scripture Sword 1.0, uses some of the most advanced slicing technology available, creative gameplay and quality graphics to make memorizing the books of the Bible in their correct order a lot of fun.

The game's 27 levels begin easy so a player unfamiliar with the Bible will have no problem getting started. The easy levels also give the player a chance to have fun experimenting with the real time chopping and slicing. Objects can be cut at any angle, any number of times while responding to the physics of their environment.

As the player progresses through the game the levels get more complex, fast paced and downright difficult. By the time the player completes the last level they will know Genesis to Revelation backwards and forwards, enabling them to quickly look up any Bible reference that comes their way.

To see the game play in action watch the video at Reformed Games online. The list of compatible devices will be updated as the game is tested on more devices.
