Up until this point, the Mountain View company has been pretty clear that Glass isn’t a product for everyone - all the way from its high price point to the fact that it was impossible for the masses to get one without an invite. In fact, Google had touted the device to be for explorers primarily - people living their lives on the edge and daring to do what others usually don’t. Well, all of that is changing now, as the Glass Store has been opened to everyone interested in getting their hands on the rather expensive and catchy eyewear!
It is strongly suspected that the next-generation iPhone, unofficially dubbed the "iPhone 6" for obvious reasons, will sport a larger, 4.7-inch display. Various case leaks, analyst reports and concept designs have turned this notion into mainstream consensus, and with a fairly solid idea of what a display increase may do to the form factor of the Apple smartphone, how does it stand up against some of the more sizeable flagship Android handsets currently available?
The Madame Tussauds attraction houses many waxworks of famous folks from past and present, and alongside actor Leonardo DiCaprio and pop singer Rihanna, one of tech's most recognized faces has just been unveiled at the branch in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of the ubiquitous social network that is Facebook, has been cloned as a waxwork statue, and in-keeping with his image as the modern day, suit-less executive, he's seen sitting - without socks - in casual jeans and his trademark hoodie.
The latest speculation pertaining to Apple's much anticipated "iPhone 6" is suggesting that the Cupertino company is ready to move away from the existing flat edge design.
As time rolls on and we get very closer to the inevitable iPhone 6 announcement, speculation is beginning to grow about what the brand new iPhone will look like, and what key features it will bring to Apple's product line. The current best bet scenario is that Apple will bring two new iPhones to market, one packing a 4.7-inch screen and another sporting a larger 5.5-inch display. It's that larger device that is making all the headlines right now though, thanks to an apparently leaked iPhone 6 case that seems to fit very well with the larger iPhone claims that have been prevalent for some time now.
Apple's decision to keep OS X and iOS as close to each other as possible when it comes to the underlying technology that powers them both has been beneficial to the firm in the past. Unfortunately that also means that some security holes found in one are likely to also be evident in the other, meaning both will require patching. Conventional wisdom says that if you have two platforms with the same security problem, you patch them both at the same time, but it seems nobody told the folks at Apple, leaving one security researcher to lay into the company over the matter.
Even though the initial announcement of the Galaxy S5 divided opinion among consumers and commentators alike, Samsung's new flagship appears to have settled rather well into the market. As well as reports of strong early sales in the twelve days since the handset first hit stores, reviews have generally been favorable, with one of the device's strong points being the full HD Super AMOLED display. But why is the new panel so great? Samsung has published a detailed blog post - complete with animated .gifs - explaining just what makes the new display so darned good.
If you're a frequenter of The Twitters, then you'll almost certainly have encountered the new, revamped Twitter profile page. Some like it, some don't, and if you're subbed to the opinion of the former, then below, we'll show you how you can switch to the new profile right now!
Scratching around for the most suitable case is part and parcel of being a smartphone user, but while companies have established great reputations by delivering high quality, practical and protective guards for our digital devices in their daily battle against the elements, it doesn't always have to be that serious. A new gaming-themed case for iPhone owners is a great example of what can happen when imaginations run wild, and the iDroid concept, based on a feature of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, looks a real treat for any MGS fan.
Scarcely a day goes by without some kind of update on the state of the so-called iPhone 6, and one of our favorite designers has come through with an interesting concept that, based on various leaked info, shows how an "iPhone 6s" might stand up against an "iPhone 6c" if both current devices were upgraded.
