Remember those rumors pertaining to an ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook that surfaced earlier on this year? Well, they're back, but this time suggesting that the revolutionary MacBook could make an official appearance in mid-2015.
In a fortnight that has seen Apple's iCloud slandered and deemed culpable for the spate of celebrity image leaks, it's certainly been a test of the online storage service's mettle.

A new Chrome beta released by Google makes it easier to share your Chrome browser with the aforementioned thanks to the introduction of guest mode, meaning that you can permit folk to surf the Web on your device without potentially revealing any of your data.

Google’s been doing it for quite a while; game developers do it even more frequently. Today, we’ve stumbled across an Easter egg hidden inside our very own Mac, and it’s very very simple to reveal.
Apple has just rolled out a second public beta of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, delivering a number of tweaks over the initial beta.
