The world may be getting smaller and smaller thanks to the world wide web and modern technologies, but that doesn't mean that everything that's available to rent or buy in one country is available in them all. Apple's iTunes is a prime example of that, with some content available in the United States but not in others, and even some of that content that is available internationally is delayed before making its way outside the U.S. borders. It's a pain, but as always, there's a way around it.
The old saying of 'there's no smoke without fire' has never been more apt than Apple's fabled iWatch. With absolutely no news coming out of Apple in official channels, there have been enough leaks, and enough hiring of medical and fashion-oriented people that, at this point, we'd be flabbergasted if a smartwatch wasn't on Apple's roadmap. Quite when that will turn into a shipping product however, is anybody's guess.
With September drawing ever nearer, the iPhone 6 bandwagon is rolling on nicely. The expected announcement of the next-generation iPhone may be just three months away, but there is still quite a lot of information to be leaked before we know for sure what we will be lining up for. The smart money is on at least one new iPhone being released at that time, with another coming weeks later. The two new phones are expected to feature larger screens than Apple's past offerings, which makes this particular launch even more interesting than usual.
With so much iOS 8 excitement and noise in the way, we tend to forget at times that iOS 7 still exists for devices in our pockets. And today we’ve learned that iOS 7 is due for an incremental update, in the form of 7.1.2, which should drop in a mere few days, according to a new report that has just surfaced.
With every new year in the gaming industry, one or two titles always seem to carry the flag, serving as the most exciting and hotly-anticipated amid hundreds of releases. For this year, Titanfall was among the coveted few, and whilst an excessive build-up often leads to a disappointing eventual title, it's abundantly clear that Titanfall has come through and realized its potential. For a limited time, Titanfall is available to play for free, and if you've been curious to see what all the fuss is about, now would be a great opportunity for you to indulge in this cracking first-person shooter.
Apple announced third-party keyboard support for iOS 8 at the Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, and for the very first time, we now get an opportunity to see how a user will go about installing a keyboard downloaded from the iTunes Store.
The long-awaited, albeit incremental Android 4.4.3 update was only officially released a couple of weeks back for folks on the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 smartphones, along with the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets and Google Play Edition devices. Already, though, the Big G has deemed it necessary to push Android 4.4.4, and the reason for this swift update is to fix a lurking security bug discovered shortly after Android 4.4.3 dropped.
Yo, the brainchild of an Israeli developer who managed to scoop an impressive $1 million in VC funding for his app that simply lets you say "Yo!" to your friends, has enjoyed a very encouraging start in its first couple of days as an iOS and Android instant messaging app. But even though its position at fourth on the App Store's list of freebies is good news for Yo founder Or Arbel, the launch has proven a bit of a double-edged sword, with a number of security bugs allowing a hacker to, for example, discover the phone number of a fellow Yo user.
It's often the case than when browsing through our iPhone's Camera Roll in trying to find a particular snap to show a friend, we put about as much effort into dodging those silly / embarrassing shots as we do in locating the photo we intended to share. But given how painful it can be to continually fish these images out and back them up externally before removing them, a new app lets you simply obscure snaps that you don't necessarily want the world to gawk at.
In spite of the continual wave of information pertaining to the iPhone 6, Apple is said to have a further trick up its sleeve in the form of the elusive iWatch, which is also slated for release at some point this year.
