When a rumor takes hold prior to a big announcement, a few utterances can often escalate into pure scaremongering, and in the run-up to the grand unveiling of the next-gen games consoles, many had feared we were moving towards a generation of so-called 'always on' connections being a prerequisite for enjoying any game. Suffice to say, Sony has stepped out and confirmed that gamers can happily enjoy games without an Internet connection, and what's more, used titles can be played without any fuss.
As per the announcement at WWDC 2013, Apple has just released its first Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks 10.9. In keeping with the nature of the past few releases, OS X 10.9 delivers a plethora of rather minor changes which, collectively, make for a pretty decent overall improvement. Details after the break!
Apple has just released the very first beta of iOS 7, allowing those signed up to the Developer Program to go ahead and test out some of the new features and alterations announced today at WWDC. As ever, this one's only available to registered Apple developers, so if you happen to be enrolled in the $99 per year agreement, please check out the details below.
Ditching the theme of big cats with its OS X releases, Apple has instead gone down the direction of its California home state in the naming of the next few installments, and first up is OS X Mavericks. The Cupertino-based company has brought a host of new changes to the fold, including Finder tabs, multiple displays Tagging and more, and we've got all the details coming right up after the break.
Today, as if a reminder was ever required, is the opening morning of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, otherwise known as WWDC. If you're reading this, chances are you're eagerly awaiting the revelations and announcements from Moscone West, and with the wait almost now over, here are the details of how, where and when you can watch and follow the coverage.
TeXTe for Android is a novel little app which allows you to set a specific code word, which in turn can be shared with important contacts and when your device is on silent, TeXTe will detect the word within the message, and a loud alarm will ring loud and clear, ensuring you don't miss anything you may need to know.
QuickCall, a new tweak just made available over at the BigBoss repository, essentially allows you to throw up your contacts in an impromptu fashion using an activation method of your desire, before skimming through your contacts and making a call, starting a FaceTime call, or sending a message. Not only is this insanely useful if you don't wish to jump back through the home screen and between apps if you want to do different things, but the interface itself is very aesthetically pleasing. More details can be found right after the break!
We've been heavily reliant on the WWDC logo to offer some kind of indication as to the changes to be made with iOS 7, and with just a weekend now to go before Apple's WWDC 2013 kicks off in Moscone West, the Cupertino company has confirmed the logo of the forthcoming software. As we've come to assume from the reports and rumors of late, the next version of iOS will be very much a clean-up job, and this demonstrated rather emphatically by the new logo. Take a look after the break!
When it comes to delivering a steady supply of mobile games, few put in more work than Gameloft, and not only does the publisher release a varied mix of different titles, but it is also admirably unafraid of competing with some of the industry's classics. The Gangstar series, for example, is a pretty obvious clone of Grand Theft Auto in that it copies just about every theme from Rockstar Games' most famous outlet, and today, Gameloft has just dropped Gangstar: Vegas over at Apple's App Store.
