In two rather surprising moves, Google today changed the way users will interact with two of its post popular services; YouTube and Maps. One has received an all-new mode for people to use, whilst the other is going the way of Google Reader.

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.
We told you just recently about the invites that Facebook has sent out, asking the press to join Mark Zuckerberg and co at the company's Menlo Park HQ. Whilst the invite makes mention of a new home on Android, the context of such a phrase was rather cryptic, leaving us all to wonder just what Facebook has up its sleeve. Now, thanks to claims by a fellow blog, it seems we may have some answers.
There's not much we like more than a good emulator here at Redmond Pie. There's something about taking a modern, high specification smartphone and making it run software that was written long before anyone could ever have dreamt about such a think as an iPhone or Galaxy S. We'd call it magical, but Apple might try and take us to court over it.
Apple may already be the big player in online music sales, but it currently has no dog in the music streaming hunt, with the likes of Spotify and Pandora ruling the fledgling market. That doesn't mean that the Apple juggernaut isn't looking to crawl its way into the space that has already proven unpopular with music labels.
Some claims just seem too much to believe, so when Microsoft's Frank Shaw claimed that the company's Windows Phones had in fact outsold Apple's hugely popular iPhone in seven different markets, more than a few of us were a little skeptical. Turns out he was right, but he didn't tell the entire story. More details right after the jump.
Samsung may be dominating the news cycles right now, but Apple is keen to remind everyone that it is still very much alive and kicking, with the company now offering all iPhones with free next-day shipping in the United States. More details after the jump.
Fancy controlling your computer from an Android device, but don't want to go installing third-party apps on that computer just for the privilege? Mac Remote for your Android phone or tablet may just be what you need.
Samsung has only just walked off the stage in New York, but the Galaxy S4 is set to be old news already, especially if you're shopping on a budget or would prefer something smaller than a small ship. The Galaxy S4 Mini is on the horizon, and it's just been leaked online. Check out the details after the jump.
Ever wanted an iPhone that's also a satellite phone? We hadn't either, but bear with us and you may change your mind for a while.
Whether you like a nice, small smartphone or a tablet-like behemoth is very much a personal decision. Some like to have huge 6-inch screens in the palm of their hands, whilst others think that the 4-inch display of pre fifth-generation iPhones is still the sweet spot. People will never agree on which is best, nor should they ever need to.
