VLC is undoubtedly the second most popular media player on both Windows and Mac. The app's ability to play just about any file thrown at it is the thing of legend at this point, and is something that plenty of other developers have tried to replicate. To date, the folks at VideoLAN are the only ones to manage it, and they've done a particularly good job of it, too.

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.
Facebook may have been around for what feels like forever, but the social network is still missing one or two features that some of us have been crying out for. One of those features is something that seems rather simple on the face of it, and today Facebook announced that we will soon be able to edit our own posts on the social network.
If there was ever any lingering doubt that the two new iPhones that were released last week would sell well, then let those doubts be cleansed after Apple today announced its sales figures for the three days since the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c went on sale.

Things have looked bleak for BlackBerry for quite a while now, with Apple and Google eating its lunch both in the enterprise and consumer markets. As Microsoft's Windows Phone also begins to take aim at what was once a proud BlackBerry market share, the Canadian firm was rumored to be on the verge of a reshuffle that would see approximately 40% of its workforce cut. Today, that news was confirmed in a press release by BlackBerry themselves.
The name Cyanogen is synonymous with the Android homebrew community, and many would argue that CyanogenMod is the best version of Android available. Featuring all kinds of additional features as well as removing much of the cruft that none of us really want in our daily dose of Android, CyanogenMod is great if you want a near-stock version of Android on your non-Nexus device.
Apple certainly knows how to make a good ad, there's never been any doubt of that. Starting back with the original iPod ads, the Cupertino outfit has made a stellar job of not only capturing the attention of the public, but also its imagination with the often super-colorful ads that it creates.
Today is iOS 7 day, not that we need to tell you that. If you've been anywhere near the internet today then you'll no doubt have had that fact rammed down your throat repeatedly by this point.
If there's one thing that a big new release of iOS guarantees, it's more app updates in the space of a week than we usually see in a couple of months. If our iPhones are anything to go by tonight, then the chances are you're all seeing a lot of developers have had their updates approved today, ready for iOS 7 shipping on the 18th.
We at Redmond Pie have been seeing iOS 7.0.1 and .1 in the logs for weeks now, with the volume of hits growing as the time has passed, as can be seen in the screenshots below.
