OS X Yosemite GM 2, Public Beta 5 Downloads Released

Ben Reid·October 8, 2014

As was the case with Mavericks last year in the run-up to its end user roll-out, Apple has just pushed a second Golden Master of OS X Yosemite 10.10, which is set to be approved for official release later on this month. It arrives alongside iOS 8.1 beta 2 download, which was seeded to developers just a short while ago, and although Apple has deemed it necessary to distribute OS X Yosemite GM 2.0 out to devs, it doesn't appear that any noteworthy changes have been added.

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

We heard late on last week that Apple could be plotting the roll out of a refreshed Mac mini next month to coincide with the launch of OS X 10.10 Yosemite as well as the iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2. A new report has added another release to a growing list of touted products set to arrive over the next few weeks, noting that Apple is also set to take the wraps off a 27-inch iMac with Retina display. Citing sources familiar with Apple's product movements, the report suggests that this as-yet unannounced keynote may be much larger than first anticipated, but like the purported Mac mini refresh, the Cupertino company will be forced into using the ageing Haswell processor from Intel rather than the imminent Broadwell.

Apple Will Patch Mac’s Bash Vulnerability Soon, Very Few Users Affected

Aatif·September 27, 2014

A while back, when the world was made aware of the Heartbleed bug, there was hue and cry all over, mainly because the bug was discovered in a system that was widely used and implemented across the Internet. Today, a new threat has surfaced that's perhaps bigger than Heartbleed. Labeled the Bash bug - or Shellshock - the new vulnerability affects almost all Linux and Unix based systems, as the vulnerability exists in the Bash command that's widely implemented in Unix systems. The good news, at least for Mac OS X users, is that Apple is actively working to patch it and release a fix that can put users' minds at ease.

Mac mini 2014 To Be Announced Alongside New iPads, Yosemite Next Month

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

As far as Apple is concerned, September usually focuses on the mobile side of things, and with the introduction of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the Apple Watch earlier on this month, we certainly haven't been disappointed. If we take into context Apple's past release cycles, we can probably expect that the iPad line-up will be getting a bump at some point next month, and with OS X Yosemite 10.10 also rumored to be arriving at the same as-yet unannounced event, a new report is offering that a new Mac mini is on the cards.

This Chrome Hack Lets You Run Android Apps On Windows, Mac, Linux

Ben Reid·September 20, 2014

We've already seen how Android can be run on a PC or Mac via the BlueStacks app, and with the official App Runtime for Chrome extension having recently brought this power to Chrome OS, we got a glimpse into a future where the search giant's mobile and desktop operating systems join forces. The fact that it was limited to Chrome OS and only worked with certain apps was a bit of a bummer, mind, and so it has taken the dogged work of a hacker to give App Runtime for Chrome its customary license to roam. Thanks to the endeavors of this one individual, Android can now essentially be run on any desktop OS where the Chrome browser is present, and although it's a little rough around the edges, it's nonetheless very exciting.

OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Download Now Available, Here’s What Is New

Ben Reid·September 18, 2014

Even though we're now on the cusp of OS X Yosemite 10.10, it's worth remembering that Mavericks is till the current version of Apple's Mac software, and with reports suggesting that Yosemite won't hit the Mac App Store until mid-to-late October, it's likely to stay that way for at least another month. Thus, Apple has just rolled out OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, and with plenty of bug fixes and general performance enhancements, is worth taking the time to download.
