The dust may just be settling on the big Xbox One reveal earlier, but with everyone already asking when the console will be available and for how much, Microsoft has begun the pre-order process nice and early.

Having waxed lyrical about its special relationship with Microsoft at the company’s Xbox One reveal earlier, Electronic Arts has just confirmed that one of its most highly successful franchises is set to get its very own Xbox One outing later this year.

Apple plans to add even more social media integration to the forthcoming iOS 7 update. Both Flickr and Vimeo look set for Twitter and Facebook-like integration, which would see users able to tap in their credentials once within the Settings app and simply authorize any third-party movements from within the iOS infrastructure.

Everything you need to know about Xbox One games, like Forza Motorsport 5, Call of Duty Ghosts, FIFA 14, Assassin’s Creed 4, Watch Dogs, and more, that Microsoft announced today at ‘Xbox Reveal’ event.

Whew, time for us to catch our breath a little! Microsoft has finally dished out the details of its upcoming console, which is to be called the Xbox One, and if you want to know the what, where, when, and perhaps most importantly, how much, we’ve got all of the details coming up right after the break!

Microsoft’s big Xbox Reveal event is finally here, and Don Mattrick took to the stage to announce the Redmond company’s next-generation console effort: Xbox One. Laden in a glossy, black finish, Microsoft has really stepped up its design game with this one, and with a real focus on software innovation and interactive applications, the general user experience with the Xbox One looks enthralling at first glance.

Earlier this year, we caught a glimpse of the technologies of Leap Motion, one of a number of companies looking to take the world of gesture-based research by storm. One of the more intriguing insights we’ve had into how this kind of tech could significantly broaden the horizons in the gesture-filled landscape, Leap Motion offered a very enticing introductory video back in February illustrating how its peripheral could turn almost any computing setup into an effortless, three-dimensional realm of pinching and swiping elegance, enhancing the general user experience on all kinds of different levels. To whet the appetites further, Leap has come through with yet another video clip, and if you were somewhat unmoved by the initial demonstration clip, prepare to be wowed!

As the device continues to arrive at various shores across the world, the debate rages on as to whether the Samsung Galaxy S4 is indeed worthy of its position as Android’s poster boy. The latest in an immensely popular series, the Galaxy S4 dramatically improves on its predecessor in terms of hardware features, but opinion remains divided on whether it is a true humdinger, or just another re-hash of the same old rhetoric.

Custom ROMs are the way to go for power users of Android devices. No matter what developer you take and whichever flavor of a custom ROM you may want to pick up, some of the omni-present features would be faster updates, better modifications, root access, custom recovery, zip aligned APKs, deodexed ROMs, more features, ports from other devices and whatnot. Then, there’s that class of these firmware that hail from the Android Open Source Project, or AOSP, as it is better known. These ROMs are decidedly different from others, in their minimalist native feature set and more freedom towards change.

Seldom, when launching the Safari mobile browser on an iOS device, do we wish to go back to the same page we were looking at several minutes / hours / days previously. Often, it’s an annoyance to me that Safari launches on a Google search performed a day earlier to settle a minor dispute, and there’s usually that couple of seconds’ delay in loading the old page before I can get on with the new task at hand. As is so often the case with the thriving Cydia community, there’s a tweak for that; it’s called SafariBlankPage, and we’ve got all of the details coming up after the leap!

Although we do tend to get somewhat carried away with the exciting features any potential new smartphone can offer us, our sensible side forces us to consider some of the very basics, like signal strength. Without the ability to yield substantial network coverage, your expensive handset can often be rendered useless, and although you might have thought your signal was relatively adequate already, there’s no harm in seeing if you can achieve better. Resident carrier update hacker Joseph Brown has, having previously released a hacked carrier update for T-Mobile offering an overall stronger signal to consumers, done the same kind of thing again, but this time, for certain iPhone and iPad devices on AT&T.

Keen designers Ran Avni and Uygar Kaya have come up with yet another iPhone 6 concept which incorporates many of the features iPhone fans have long since been pining for, including wireless charging, LED notifications and of course, a larger, wider screen. It’s easily one of the best concepts we’ve had the pleasure of ogling, and you can decide whether you agree by checking out the video after the break!

Electronic Arts has been there at the launch of countless game consoles throughout its prolific years, and it is going to be no different even this time around.

Top of the list of places to stay, the only 7-Star hotel in the world, Dubai’s Burj Al Arab, is possibly the most luxurious hotel on the face of the planet. It should be, too, considering the $1,500 starting price for a double room. If you are lucky enough to be able to count yourself amongst the few people that can afford to frequent the place though, you’ll be greeted with your very own iPad to use during your stay. Not just any iPad though. Oh no.

Whereas most vendors release a new flagship, take some time to appreciate their achievements and perhaps even give themselves a little self-congratulation, Samsung instead works without relent to bring more devices, more features, and more options to consumers. The Galaxy S4 may just be taking its baby steps into the market, but the talk of several spin-off devices has been incessant since before consumers could even get their hands on the latest and greatest. The Galaxy S4 Mini has been mentioned several times, as has a ruggedized, water and dustproof model of Galaxy S4, and according to a bunch of leaked images, the latter now looks a certainty for release in the near future.

Sony’s announcement of the PlayStation 4 back in February perhaps brought more questions than answers, the main of which was quite simply, what the heck does it look like? It’s rare for a company to make an announcement of such a significant product without at least offering a glimpse of what its consumers should be excited about, and although we’ve already clapped eyes of the DualShock 4 controller, Sony has chosen the eve of the next-gen Xbox announcement to reveal that the PS4 will now certainly be unveiled at June’s E3 expo.

A leaked Android 4.2.2 ROM for Galaxy S3 is now available for download. The said ROM includes tons of new features from Galaxy S4 for the old maestro.

Google Glass is definitely the hottest topic around at the moment, even if Google didn’t say much about the new technology during its Google I/O opening keynote. The internet is abuzz with stories from people who were lucky enough to get their hands, or heads, on one of the Explorer Edition of the product a couple of weeks ago. We seemingly can’t get enough of Google’s special eyewear, and it’s easy to understand why.

You can level all kinds of legitimate complaints at Facebook, but not iterating is certainly not one of them. The Facebook web interface is currently undergoing some big changes, with those changes being rolled out to users on a staggered basis. We’ve not got all of them ourselves, but one that we do have access to is Stickers.

Microsoft is putting the finishing touches on its big Xbox reveal on Tuesday, and as part of the company’s vast hype machine, one of its big Xbox executives took time out to speak to Major Nelson on his podcast this past Friday. During the chat, Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business Chief of Staff spoke about where the Xbox brand is going next, as well as more generally about what we can expect from his company at this year’s E3.
