We all thought that writing down notes was dying off, especially with services like Evernote fast becoming the place where we put just about everything. Note-taking has become a much more digital experience these days, and jotting things down on an iPhone or iPad is just a way of life for many of us. But that doesn't mean that there isn't still a place for the humble pen, especially if there's a good way to combine the traditional act of handwriting notes with the highly organized, highly digital way that Evernote users would keep track of their notes. That's where Livescribe comes in.

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.
Getting online isn't always the easiest thing even when you happen to be in some of the largest and most technologically advanced cities in the world, so it's no great surprise that getting a good cellular data connection in Jakarta, Indonesia isn't a walk in the park. Thankfully, that's where Wi-Fi comes in.
Just when things seemed to have quietened down on the Nexus 5 front, it seems that we have just been treated to not only confirmation that a white version of the handset will be made available, but also an idea about when it will either be announced, or made available. Or perhaps both?
Google Play Store APK version 4.4.21 has been leaked, and is available to download for most Android devices right now. Read on for more details.
It may have been available on iOS for a month already, but those toting Android devices can now also join in the fun that is provided by Call of Duty: Strike Team.
Apple's Mac Pro is something of a looker even in its standard shiny black guise, and if you're hardcore enough to stump up the minimum $3,000 price of entry there's little doubt that you'll be getting a good looking computer as well as a mighty powerful one. But everything can always be improved.
So, having all this fancy technology is no good if it's just so slow that we just don't use it. Friction, or the lack of it, can be something that either makes or breaks a product whether that product be hardware or software. Take Google Now as an example.
There have been software updates flying around like confetti for the last few days, and while the Mac, iPhone, iPad and even the iPod touch have all received new versions of their software recently, it seems that someone inside Apple still had time to remember the company's hobby.
Yesterday was undoubtedly a pretty big day for iPad lovers. Not only did Apple dish up a refreshed iPad but it also changed its name to the relatively unpopular iPad Air. Alongside the new Retina iPad mini 2, the new iPad Air takes the original iPad and improves upon it in all kinds of ways.
As far as the last twenty-four hours have gone, the news cycle has been dominated by new hardware. New iPads, new MacBook Pros and a new Mac Pro have been enough to take attention away from possibly the biggest thing to ship straight after Apple's media event finished yesterday.
