Ben Reid·August 30, 2014

After Yo!, the one-word app that simply let you say "Yo!" to your buddies, another developer has come through with something equally simplistic.

For the most part, the purported design of the iPhone 6 has been lauded by commentators, but conversely, the antenna breaks to the rear side of the device have been labeled as ugly. Certainly, they're not the most stylish of components, even if necessary to the overall running of the device, but a new leak of what is claimed to be a finished production model of the Space Gray iPhone 6 rear shell suggests that the lines mightn't be as unsightly as some had feared.

The guest accounts feature present on most desktop operating systems is key, for it allows users to share their devices and machines with friends or family whilst maintaining privacy. If you just wish to let somebody use the Web for a quick search, though, logging out of your own account and loading up the guest profile is a bit of a drawn-out process. A new Chrome beta released by Google makes it easier to share your Chrome browser with the aforementioned thanks to the introduction of guest mode, meaning that you can permit folk to surf the Web on your device without potentially revealing any of your data.

Minuum Keyboard For iOS 8 Will Adjust Its Height For Less Obtrusion, Sign Up Now For Early Access

Ben Reid·August 29, 2014

Although many of us have now adapted to the idea of a touch-based keyboard, there are still limitations to this feature. One of the glaringly obvious caveats is that when a keyboard is in use, it can often command half of a device's display real estate, and in some instances, we're forced to cease typing in order to review the content we've written or are replying to. Inconvenient indeed, but the author of the Minuum keyboard, which has a popular following on Android, has pledged its name to the long list of developers porting products over to iOS 8, and with it, confirmed that it will include a neat feature that will see the keyboard adjust in height.
