As well as delivering plenty of insight into its upcoming Xbox One console along with some of the many launch titles set to be available when the November release date arrives, Microsoft has been doing a pretty stellar job of talking up the next-gen Kinect, which will ship with each and every newly-purchased Xbox One. We've already seen some of the many powerful features on offer with the new device, including the ability to recognize two different voices when they're talking at the same time, and and an intriguing new video clip offers perhaps the most vicarious look yet through the eye of the sensor.
So, the iPhone 5s is almost two weeks old, and if you're lucky enough to have gotten your hands on one already, you may be wondering how exactly to make the most of the new features at your disposal. Perhaps you aren't even aware of just how capable the new flagship device is.

The App Store may be a treasure trove of casual games such as your physics-based puzzlers, but over the past couple of years, we've seen plenty of popular console franchises make the leap to mobile space. The NBA 2K series is a primary example of this growing trend, and around this time of year is when the new version usually makes its its début. Right on cue, NBA 2K14 has been released for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and if you're a big fan of basketball, you'll certainly want to be checking it out.
As with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, there are plenty of hack-minded folks out there trying to push the boundaries of Apple TV, and although it's been a long time since we've seen a jailbreak for Apple TV, many modders and devs have been trying, often in vain, to find exploits with Apple's little black box. Yet while we cannot, unfortunately, report on a new jailbreak for Apple TV 3 just now, casual hacker David Schuetz has discovered a fairly cool "Add Site" feature, potentially enabling one to add custom sites to the home screen. Although it's by no means a refined, or even immediately accessible feature, it is fairly promising, and you can check out the details after the break.
Waiting for an iPhone to come into stock at your local Apple Store is something we wouldn't want to wish on our worst enemies. The constant refreshing, the checking of different stores and the waiting game that never seems to end are all things that we have done when Apple hasn't been able to keep up with demand for a new iPhone. The iPhone 5s is no different.
One of the major arguments against large-displaying "phablet" devices, which take the features of a smartphone and combine them with a slate-like form factor, is that they are incredibly hard to function with just one hand. The new Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which packs a mammoth 5.7-inch display, is one such handset, but for those struggling to use their shiny new Note 3 without using both hands or getting some kind of repetitive strain injury on one, Samsung has thrown in a neat little feature that scales down the display.
While iOS 7's launch hasn't been fraught with incident like some of the previous releases of Apple's mobile operating system, the last couple of weeks have not passed without a fair dose of complaints from certain folks within the iOS community. Apple, as we know, has added some new effects and animations to proceedings, and whilst they do serve to add a touch of elegance, not everybody has had such a pleasurable experience. In fact, some users have reported suffering from iOS 7 motion sickness after using the new mobile OS for lengthy periods of time, and trust U.S. chat show host Jimmy Kimmel to come up with a hilarious solution. Check out the video after the jump!
With the iPhone release now out of the way and many consumers enjoying one of the two new handsets on offer, attention has swiftly turned to the changes expected of the iPad range.
