Faster And More Reliable iOS / OS X Downloads Are Now Possible, Here’s Why

Ben Reid·August 1, 2014

According to reports, Apple has just rolled out its upgraded Content Delivery Network, or CDN, and to us, this equates to faster and more efficient downloads from the company's servers. With speeds into the terabits per second, it's quite a substantial bump, and although we tend to focus mainly on the products and software that Apple churns out, this is a more than welcome improvement to the back-end.

Next-Gen Qi Wireless Charger Will Charge Your Device From A Distance

Ben Reid·August 1, 2014

As with the idea of packing a camera into a mobile device all those years ago, wireless charging facilities have been met with the usual dose of skepticism. But while they mightn't yet be viewed as a necessity, more and more consumers are on the lookout for this feature, and with technologies now advancing, it may well be that soon, we'll all be ditching those darned wires. Inductive, predominately Qi-based charging solutions have made real headway in the market, but given how inductive charging - by its very nature - requires the device to be in contact with the charging mat, it's not exactly ideal. It's for this reason that most are happy to stick with cables, but fairly soon, this could change, with new inroads being made that could allow a device to be powered up from up to two inches away.

Shazam is just a great service. The days of sitting there for hours trying to remember a song your heard earlier, or pestering a friend to see if they know the title / artist, or even Googling fragments of the lyrics - yes, we've all been there - are long gone. The music recognition app works its magic in seconds, retaining information on tracks that it tags, and more recently, has broadened its horizons to incorporate TV shows and advertisements. Today, after having had the iOS / Android apps out for a good couple of years now, a Mac version has just been released, and the inconspicuous app is not only useful for those occasions when you don't want to have to reach for your mobile device, but its always-on nature means you certainly won't miss a thing.

Ben Reid·July 31, 2014

Even though SEGA focuses its attention on the games as opposed to the hardware nowadays, the company's Dreamcast console lives fondly in the memory of those who had the pleasure of playing it. One of the most popular titles to land on SEGA's last major console effort was Crazy Taxi, which tasked the player to pick up as many fares as they could within a set time while also pulling off various stunts. Like many games of times passed, Crazy Taxi has since been ported through to mobile devices, and after a successful run-out, Crazy Taxi: City Rush is now available to those rocking an iPhone or iPad.
