In terms of concept designs, Apple has pretty much been covered in every aspect. Any hint of a new product is designed by enthusiasts for the masses to drool over, and even if it's not likely to ever hit the market, a fan of the Cupertino company will likely be sitting at their Mac, dreaming it up.

The last horse looks to be crossing the finishing line in the run-up to the release of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system. The metro-laden eight edition of the market leading OS will Release to Manufacturing (otherwise known as RTM) in the first week of August, with the retail edition following in late October.
Although it's a wonderful thing to be able to carry a decent snapper at all times in the form of a smartphone, it has been argued that the mundane methods for editing them with a simple effect or a movable focus has sapped much of the creativity that goes with creating a well-edited image.
Instagram has its fair share of critics, and although I find myself checking the image-social networking platform on a daily basis, I do sympathize with their grievances somewhat.

There are a number of very capable note-taking apps within the iTunes App Store, and we've featured plenty of them here at Redmond Pie. As well as offering a great deal of useful features, it's becoming of increasing importance that notes can be backed up via the cloud, and Notesy by Giant Yak Software is prime example of solid features mixed with awesome Dropbox support.
Our smartphone devices ensure we're a productive as can be at all times, and although Apple packs a decent array of such apps natively on its iPhone, it's by no means a complete package. The stock offering of any device or ecosystem can always be improved upon with a little digging, and if you're constantly trying to log timings for certain events, Timesquare for iPhone might just be your perfect companion.
YouTube is the most frequented video streaming site on the web, and as such, most smartphone owners require a decent app for viewing the very latest and most entertaining content.
Microsoft has today ditched Windows Home Server while simultaneously unveiling four new editions for Windows Server 2012. The four editions, which are aimed towards different types of businesses and enterprise, consist of Standard, Datacenter, Essentials, and Foundation.
