We should all know by now how popular Instagram is, after all, it blew all off the competition away and made enough of an impact in the app world to prompt Facebook to shell out the better part of a billion dollars to help them improve their mobile presence. It's all well and good uploading images to your network through the official Instagram app, but if you really need quick access to the service while sitting at your desk and you want to discreetly check out what's popular in with the Instagram loving world then Instabar for OS X could be the answer.
When Apple put a Retina display into the iPhone 4, the world was stunned by its crisp visuals, and equally so with the third-gen iPad when it dropped back in March. While the MacBook Pro's Retina display certainly doesn't fail to dazzle, consumers haven't leapt to adopt the very latest addition to the Cupertino's notebook family in such high numbers.
Although Twitter is one of the most popular social networks out there, it, like Facebook, has struggled to make its native mobile app worth downloading. While Facebook seems to finally have sorted itself out on the mobile front, the official Twitter app is, by all accounts, pretty poor, and as such, rivaling offerings from third parties continue to thrive.
Although Apple's range of computers ship with set hardware specifications as standard, consumers can configure a more personalized setup thanks to the Cupertino company's built-to-order service. For example, the MacBook Pro with Retina display costs $2,799.00 over at Apple's online store, but if one wishes to bump up the storage space, processor speed or RAM, for example, this can be arranged at additional cost.

Apple has been busy over the last few weeks with the introduction of new iPods, launching the all-new iPhone 5 and the accompanying iOS 6 software. The hardware and software that has come out of Cupertino’s doors recently would normally be enough for any other company but it looks like Apple aren't finished yet with the introduction of a miniature iPad on the cards as well as the possible announcement surrounding a much welcome refresh to their iMac computers.
You can bet your bottom dollar that if it was purely up to Apple then deadlines wouldn't be missed and delivery targets wouldn't go unfulfilled. You can say what you want about the Cupertino technology giants, but they are as regular as clockwork and always on top of the things that matter most. It's somewhat unfortunate that reports are suggesting that the production, announcement and launch of the company's 13-inch variant of the Retina display MacBook Pro is being delayed due to issues beyond their control.
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.
