Everyone loves a good feature packed update to an already extremely functional application, which is why the latest version of the Showyou video discovery app is bound to invoke a wave of downloads as well as sounds of satisfaction from existing users. Investor funded Remixation has been keeping a close eye on the usage habits of users while inspecting the development of the social scene in parallel with that research, all of which has resulted in version 4.1 of the app going live with a wave of new social-based features.

When you're the Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for one of the richest and most successful technology companies in the world, chances are that you've forged yourself a pretty successful career and people will listen to what you have to say. Technology lovers will be more than familiar with Phil Schiller - who fills the marketing SVP role nicely at Apple - due to his numerous appearances on stage during product keynotes, but he has now taken to his Twitter timeline to share the latest developments in mobile security.
We've been hearing on and off speculation about Apple's plans to launch a music streaming service, but just when the trail seems to have gone cold on the subject; new reports have emerged suggesting that Tim Cook and Eddy Cue have held relatively recent meetings with Beats Electronics LLC over a potential partnership. As a company, Beats have managed to propel themselves into an industry leading position in their particular field, but it seems to be the recently announced "Project Daisy" music streaming initiative that Apple are taking a keen interest in.
Apple proved themselves onto a winning feature with the introduction of the fabulous Do Not Disturb toggle as part of iOS 6. Some may argue that the functionality took more than a little design inspiration from a Cydia tweak before the announcement of iOS 6, but it's now regarded as an important part of iOS. As always, we look to developers within the jailbreak community to spot little niches where they can enhance Apple's mobile operating system, and there will be plenty who would agree that Flusterless is one of those important time-saving installations.
In the last six years, Apple has managed to go from being entirely new to the smartphone scene to regularly producing one of the industry’s most sought-after devices in the form of the iPhone. Regardless of personal device preference, the iPhone brand is immediately recognizable and known all over the world as a beacon of quality. Although consumers from around the globe are familiar with the iPhone as we know it, a former Apple advertising executive has revealed that it could of been an entirely different story if the company had chosen one of the other product names in the running.
Up until yesterday, everything was perfectly fine in the world of iOS based web browsing. Users who prefer to shy away from the native Safari browser in favor of Google's sleek mobile Chrome offering were extremely happy, that is until the company decided to push out an update via the App Store that brought more than what users bargained for. The latest Chrome update introduced some long-press based gestures as well as new sharing features and the obligatory bug and security fixes. However, what the release notes neglected to mention was that jailbroken users would pay the price for "security" amendments.
Photos, and more specifically, the sharing of photos, has always been extremely popular with iPhone and iOS users in general. Capturing, viewing and sharing images with friends and family has always been extremely easy with Apple devices, which is something that was been made even easier with the introduction of Photo Stream in iOS 5 and Shared Photo Streams in iOS 6. One of the latest packages to land in Cydia comes with the sole intention of providing users with a little additional control over how Photo Stream works on a jailbroken device.
If you had any doubt about the existence or the availability of Google Play Store gift cards, then the company themselves have dropped one of the biggest hints yet that their arrival is extremely imminent. We've been hearing about the gift cards for quite some time now, with various logs showing up in certain retail databases, but Google has updated one of their own support pages with extensive information about the cards and the balance of individual Play accounts.
Adobe's Photoshop Touch app has been available for quite some time now for those who use a medium or full size tablet device. With so many standard smartphones around, it seems only right and proper that one of the world's largest software developers have taken the decision to extend the app with a version now being available specifically for smartphone devices.
The 85th Academy Awards ceremony may be all about the glitz and glamour of Hollywood but it seems virtually impossible for a large event to pass without Apple making some kind of appearance.
