Rovio's latest Bad Piggies title on iOS and Android definitely brought a new challenge for mobile gamers to sink their teeth into, but if you happen to be a huge fan of the company's Angry Birds creation then November 8th may be a date that needs to be added to your diary. Fans of the Angry Birds franchise may have seen a teasing image from Rovio last week that had a number of people wondering if those pesky birds were about to move to the dark side. It seems that they are.

Although the Apple iPad is an extremely advanced and capable tablet as a standalone product out of the box, regular jailbreakers will know and understand the power that can be unleashed when the device is liberated and the right packages are installed onto it from Cydia. The jailbreak development community is well-known for being able to produce packages and enhancements that take an installation of iOS to the next level and bring additional feature-sets to an Apple mobile device that the company either hadn't considered implementing or had just decided shouldn't be offered to consumers for one reason or another.
Fans of the popular Instant app on the Mac will no doubt speak very highly of the simple and easy to use software that manages to bring the iconic Polaroid photographs back to life in a modern and technologically advanced way. If you already own that particular app and want a more mobile experience, or just seeking a polished photo editing app then the developers also offer an iPad version of the app that brings with it the same functionality and editing options.
Apps that allow users to quickly and efficiently edit photographs on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have always been popular offerings in the App Store, and as of this week, there is a new pretender to the throne in the form of the Gridditor app from Tai Shimizu. Gridditor lives within the Photography section and allows users to quickly edit and organize photographs in an attractive interface that manages to throw up some excellent filter combinations.
Users who want to complete their gadget collection with a tablet-type device will more than likely opt for the iPad, the fantastic Nexus 7 or choose to purchase one of the Amazon Kindle Fire offerings. The tablet space is packed with a whole range of devices but only a handful are really powerful and capable units, but if Microsoft has anything to do with it then their upcoming Surface tablet will break into that category fairly soon.
If you can't bring yourself to believe that Internet Explorer 9 is one of the best looking, fastest and safest desktop browsing experiences available then worry not as it looks like you aren't alone in your thoughts. Internet Explorer is undoubtedly one of the most - if not the most - widely known browsing software available today, and once upon a time it was pretty much the accepted choice for those wanting to browse the web. The last few year’s browser trends usage statistics have shown us that IE has been losing its once dominant hold over users, with the latest surveys in August of this year showing that 16.2% of browsers do so though Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Tim Cook and the official Apple websites around the world paid their own tribute to Steve Jobs in their own way yesterday, as did many others around the world who have been touched by the passion and inspiring glow that seemed to follow the late Jobs wherever he went. One of the more professional and personal tributes is coming from designer Kyle Buckner, who has not only been inspired by Steve Jobs throughout his whole life, but has also built a company on the back of that inspiration.
It may not be everyone's favorite subject but mathematics is integral to the world around us and plays a part in all of our lives in some form or another. Giving the importance of the topic, it makes perfect sense that mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad will have some pretty powerful and complex apps that allow us to learn math and assist in problem solving techniques. Named after the legendary Greek Mathematician, the Archimedes app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is one of those such creations.
The fifth-generation iPod touch was announced alongside the iPhone 5 at the September 12th media event in San Francisco, but while Tim Cook proudly proclaimed that the new smartphone would begin shipping just over a week later, there was no such news about the rather colorful new iPod touch range. Rather than lavish us with all of the necessary launch details for the new iPod touch, Apple deemed it acceptable to give a vague October deadline instead of a proper date.
Apple’s very own Maps app which comes as a part of iOS 6 has been under fire for quite a while, but the decision to build their own vector-based mapping system definitely has some distinct advantages for iOS users. By using vector graphics to form the map imagery, Apple is able to hold a fairly large area of territory in memory that can be extremely beneficial to those using turn-by-turn navigation in areas where cellular connectivity is poor.
