We've all been in the predicament whereby we're so consumed by work at our desktops that we forget to charge our mobile devices, and when the time to leave just seems to creep up on us, we're left cursing the fact that we'll have to spend the remainder of the day rationing those precious last few droplets of juice. But while a battery alert is easy enough to miss or ignore when we're frantically trying to keep atop our email inboxes or compose documents, desktop notifications are a little harder to shake off. With this in mind, iBetterCharge seeks to ensure that we don't leave our iPhone or iPad bereft of battery by pushing alerts straight to the OS X Notification Center, and not only does the app presents itself as a novel idea, but it's also executed to perfection.
The iPad Air has been around for a good while now, and it was only ever going to be a matter of time before Twelve South - maker of the coveted BookBook case for iOS and MacBook devices - updated its range with a release tailored to the heavily-revamped tablet. Apple's decision to rehouse its full-sized slate in a similar design to the iPad mini has been greatly received by fans and commentators alike, and now, thanks to the release of the BookBook, you can give your shiny new iPad Air the kind of protection it deserves.
Google Now, the search giant's refined, context-based personal assistant is, a great way to keep up with the sports news, scores and fixtures wherever you are. Add your favorite NFL team, your favorite NBA team, or almost any soccer team from around the world, and Google Now will keep you up-to-date with scores as and when the matches are being played. While the service covers a wide range of sports, cricket fans have hitherto been left out in the cold, but now, the national sport of England as well as many West Indian countries, has finally been shown some love by Google Now.
Love or loathe Google Glass, the search giant's intriguing project continues to get the lion's share of the media's coverage, but whilst the tech world remains fascinated by this new technology, many start-ups have sought to compete against the might of Google with their very own attempts at building a face computer. KAIST, which stands for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has just taken the wraps off its K-Glass prototype, which it claims is 30 times faster than Google Glass, as well as 3x to 12x more efficient.
Even though Android has, by quite some distance, the biggest reach of the major smartphone platforms, developers tend, by and large, to favor the iTunes App Store over Google Play. Pebble, maker of the famed, self-titled smartwatch that kicked up a storm on Kickstarter in raising $10 million and selling out its 85,000 inventory right from the start, launched its version 2.0 iOS app a whole month ago in an announcement that also saw the introduction of a dedicated Pebble Appstore, as well as some new firmware for the wrist-worn gadget. Today, Android users can finally get in on the act as the big v2.0 of the Pebble companion app hits the Play Store.
The Apple iPhone regularly tops the charts when it comes to overall customer satisfaction, and the desirability factor of the Cupertino's prized asset is showing no signs of wearing down. A new piece of research by a mobile insurance firm has discovered that not only are iPhones seemingly more robust in that they're less likely do be damaged than most competitors, but notably, are more likely to be stolen, with uncanny individuals clearly having a keener eye for the iPhone over some of the market's other high-end handsets.
The movie 'Big,' starring Tom Hanks, has just gone free over at the Google Play Store, and although it doesn't appear to be related to the Google Play Store's 2nd birthday celebrations earlier on in the week, it's great to see such a classic movie running as a free download.
Microsoft looks set to showcase the first major update to Windows 8.1 at the BUILD developers conference on the first week of April, but with some weeks to go until the improved release is officially unveiled, an internal leak of Windows 8.1 Update 1 is already upon us. Having trickled out into the wild just a short while ago, some users managed to get the build up and running on their machines by tweaking the registry or downloading patches, but although the registry hack doesn't seem to be working anymore, you can still check out this internal release by grabbing the necessary patches.
Although certain markets, namely Europe, have benefited from a free title with every new Xbox One purchase, those in the United States haven't been so fortunate. But as of next week, certain Stateside retail outlets will include a free digital copy of Forza Motorsport 5 for a limited time only.
