Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
You can now download the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow Google Now Launcher, wallpapers and boot animation for any of your existing Android device.
As we go about our lives, we use all kinds of technology that relies on batteries, whether that be a smartphone, a tablet or perhaps a notebook computer. As we use these devices, we recharge them before using them again. This process can happen thousands of times during a device's lifetime, especially if it's something that we charge each day, like a smartphone or a smartwatch. That's all well and good, but as anyone with an old notebook computer will tell you, batteries eventually start to see their overall capacity decrease as the battery itself begins to decay. That's not good for battery life.
Microsoft has just released Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10525 to those enrolled in Windows Insider Program. This is the first preview release post-RTM build in late July. Here's what is new in this release.
Users of iOS 9 will be able to instruct their iPhones and iPads to update themselves while they sleep, meaning there will be no more twiddling of thumbs while they wait for their devices to become usable again.
Apple has been rumored to have a team working on an autonomous car for quite a while now, and while the rumor hasn't been around quite as long as the fabled Apple TV streaming service, it is one that simply won't go away. There has been little in the way of solid proof that such a thing as an Apple-made car is in the works, though that hasn't stopped the rumors from flying.
When Apple announced HomeKit, its iOS framework for controlling smart devices around the home, such as thermostats, door locks and lights, we expected to see every accessory maker under the sun rush to get accessories out the door. As it turned out, Apple's own inability to get all of its API ducks in a row have hampered the release of hardware, but that is starting to come to an end. One of the devices first outed at January's CES - the iHome iSP5 SmartPlug - is now available to buy.
Chinese firm Xiaomi has announced Redmi Note 2. Here are all the details you need to know on its features, price and release date. It is powered by MIUI 7 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Waterproof iPhone case maker Catalyst has announced its first Apple Watch cases, giving the device additional water and drop protection.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 for iOS has arrived on the App Store, bringing with it none of the in-app purchase nonsense that we saw in previously-released RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile, and instead of being free to play, costs a reasonable $4.99.
