Samsung is definitely one of those manufacturers that like to tout and flout their masterpiece creations as much as they can, and if anything, their latest advertisement for the Galaxy S5 flagship Android smartphone is a testament to that. Released through the company’s YouTube channel, the ad highlights a lot of features of the new device that make it an absolute fit for pretty much anyone and everyone, and Samsung did so without basing Apple this time around.
At the tail-end of last year, we presented a guide that showed jailbroken iOS 7 users how to utilize the Cydia Store for the purpose of speeding up their devices.

We thought things had gone a little too far when we heard that Apple had introduced an app section within the iOS App Store dedicated to taking selfies. The practice of taking a photo of yourself has - for one reason or another - grown immensely popular in the last six months, leaving Apple with no option but to try and capitalize on it by curating a selection of the finest selfie based apps out there. If, like us, you thought that things couldn't get any crazier, then allow us to introduce you to S.E.L.F.I.E, the world's first magical mirror that can capture your photo (read: selfie) and post it to Twitter.
The Galaxy S5, which Samsung announced all the way back in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, is finally upon us, and while many early adopters will be flocking to stores today in order to pick up their very own unit, many consumers remain undecided. Those in search of a high-end handset will likely be weighing their prospective Galaxy S5 purchase up against other devices on the market, such as Apple's iPhone 5s, and to help ease the decision-making process, a new, real-world speed test has emerged that pits Samsung's latest and greatest up against the coveted iPhone 5s.
Samsung introduced the world to the extremely anticipated Galaxy S5 during this year's Mobile World Congress in February.

If iOS is your gaming platform of choice and old school desktop classics are your thing, then it looks like Atari has come good once again for you. The famous publishing company has filled a lot of gamers' hearts with joy with ports of classics like Breakout and Centipede to the small screen. The Atari Greatest Hits app also managed to bring back feelings of excitement and nostalgia when it landed many moons ago.

BlackBerry 10 mightn't have taken off quite in the way that the company behind it had hoped, but in spite of the Canadian outfit's very public free-fall from grace, the OS itself has actually been the subject of much acclaim. The Priority Hub feature, for example, provides a novel interface through which notifications are automatically organized, making it very easy to deal with each new message, email or missed call in a swift fashion. Now, the Priority Hub has been ported to the iOS lock screen via the jailbreak community, bringing that same organized structure to those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The tech community seemingly cannot get enough of the so-called 'iPhone 6' just now, even on the eve of the Samsung Galaxy S5's long-awaited release. The Apple handset is not touted for release until the fall, but the notion of the device packing a notably larger display seems to grow stronger with each new report. Following on from a recent influx of schematics leaks and other info relating to the iPhone 6's form factor, a new mock-up of an iPhone case seems to indicate that the display will indeed increase in diameter, while also backing up a few other iPhone 6-related murmurings, including thinner design.
Reports pertaining to the iPhone 6 seem to change course on an almost daily basis, but there underlying theme is that Apple's next smartphone will be significantly larger than anything the Cupertino firm has released hitherto. Following on from a report by ISI analyst Brian Marshall that a bigger iPhone would prompt a spike in upgrades as well as the number of consumers switching from Android, a new report published on Thursday has somewhat echoed these sentiments.
