One of the more favorable features Microsoft included with Windows 8 was trackpad gestures, allowing users to navigate more quickly and, in turn, become more productive and efficient as well. With the upcoming Windows 10, the software maker will be adding quite a few more gestures to the current repertoire, with emphasis apparently being placed on power users.

Brief videos of the event have surfaced on the Internet and Cook is seen talking about the Apple Watch, Apple Pay, a very interesting prospective partnership with Alibaba, and more.
When we saw Apple roll out HealthKit with iOS 8, it was only inevitable that Google will soon counter with an answer. Google Fit for Android has been released and serves somewhat the same purpose as Apple's HealthKit. Google Fit is the app that centralizes all your health goals and workout stats monitoring.
All speculations have been finally laid to rest with Motorola finally announcing the DROID Turbo. As the name itself suggests, the device has the monstrous specs to keep up with the Turbo moniker, and as speculated earlier; pushes down the latest Moto X to a thing of the past.
Just a while back, we highlighted a neat little clip which presented an Apple Watch-like UI running on the iOS home screen. It was definitely among the cooler mods we'd seen since the introduction of the jailbreak only last week, and now, the whole thing is available as a free jailbreak tweak for all to download.
In order to get the Pangu8 jailbreak working properly in the first place, Cydia author Saurik had to make some impromptu fixes to Cydia Substrate last week, and with the new Pangu Untether 0.2 having rolled out just yesterday, a number of further bugs have been addressed in a new version of Substrate. If you're jailbroken on iOS 8 with Pangu, then this is a very necessary update, fixing issues with booting, syncing, and other major challenges that the jailbreak scene has faced these past eight days.
Apple's first smartwatch, the Apple Watch, which was announced alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus back last month, has been the subject of rave reviews by most of those who've encountered it, and it seems that both techies and watch aficionados have fallen for the charms of the device's design, software, and general feature set. The UI, in particular, has garnered a fair bit of praise so far, and although we'll personally reserve judgment until we've had a chance to use it in "early 2015," one designer has already dreamt up an interesting concept that imagines the wearable's circular interface on the iPhone.
Despite its purchase of image-sharing app Instagram a couple of years ago, Facebook remains dedicated to the task of encouraging users to upload their snaps onto the world's foremost social network, and as per an official blog post, the company is now adding a couple of useful new features for this very purpose. Notably, the update is dedicated to making it easier and quicker to upload multiple photos on mobile, and with users also able to select the order of the album in swift fashion, should prove a very useful enhancement for rampant photo sharers on both iOS and Android.
Apple's iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 were both unveiled just under two weeks ago at a special event on the Cupertino campus, and while we had long since anticipated a number of the features, there have been one or two surprises thrown in for good measure. No less, perhaps, is the fact that the iPad Air 2 includes NFC, something that the company neglected to mention at the keynote, but as we continue to digest the new interior hardware, one area that hasn't been the subject of much focus is the display. For those intrigued to see how the iPad Air 2's panel stands up against the iPad mini 3 and, also, the preceding iPad Air, this rather thorough shoot-out assesses the key features of each.
Apple is currently locked in a silent war with some retailers after the decided to not just ignore Apple's advances to bring Apple Pay to their customers but also actively made it impossible to use the service even after it was found to work in an unsupported capacity. In a world where you would expect all retailers to want to take money from potential customers, that just seems weird.
