Apple's purchase of Beats Electronics was not only the biggest acquisition that the Cupertino company had made in its history, but also represented the first time that Apple opened its wallet to acquire a popular, well-known brand.

Apart from the myriad of changes that accompanied Android KitKat, one of its highlighting feature was the Google Now Launcher, which had a unique look and feel from all app launchers we’ve seen from Google to date. Granted, it’s a complete stock offering, and its bare minimum features assure that everything is there when needed without being hungry on resources. But why should only KitKat users cherish all the benefits of it? Well that’s about to change, as from today, Google’s app launcher is now compatible with devices running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and up, bringing its support to millions of devices worldwide.
Self-destructible photo messages are nothing new. After all, Snapchat set the ball rolling and then the likes of Facebook and Instagram jumped on for good measure. If you need your photos to go bye-bye automatically, then you're not exactly short of options right now.

Since the digital era is in full swing, there’s hardly any need for paper in our daily lives. Every passing day and every other gadget pushes us more towards a paperless system that’s not only more efficient in terms of management and storage, but also more environment friendly. However, time and again, we come across the need for hard copies of various items - from receipts to memoirs and whatnot. Since printers have virtually become a dime a dozen these days, it’s not really a challenge anymore, either, but what about on-the-go printing? What if you want to keep on paper whatever you have on your iPhone’s screen? That’s precisely what Rolto aims to do.
If you’re a cellular customer in the United States, today marks a very important day for you.

It's been a while since we've featured a Cydia export here, and with Apple's iOS 8 software now in its fourth beta with the fifth and apparently final installment due in the next week or so, it's clear that tweak developers are focusing their attentions on porting some of its features through to iOS 7. As detailed at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, iOS 8 will be quite a significant bump over the existing software, adding a number of new apps, quirks and features to the fold, and although the Control Center only manifested itself back in September, it's already in line for a freshen up. Thanks to a newly-released tweak, you can get that iOS 8 look right now, and below, we'll show you how to avail this updated aesthetic.
