Rumors that there may be some new Google Play Edition hardware on the horizon have turned out to be absolutely spot on, with Google announcing that not only are we going to be treated to a new, stock Android smartphone, but that the first Google Play Edition tablet is also here.
Family Guy, despite its longevity, remains one of the most popular shows on television, and the long-running animated series is finally going to be getting an official mobile game. FOX has joined forces with developer TinyCo to bring the Family Guy iOS / Android title, which has not yet been given an official name, to the App Store and Play Store at some point in 2014, so if you're a fan of the show, it shouldn't be too long before the first official Family Guy game reaches your iOS or Android device.
This year, around July, it emerged that Apple could be introducing a gold, or "champagne" color configuration of its forthcoming smartphone, which we now know to be called the iPhone 5s. At the time, commentators didn't really know what to make of it, but the response, coupled with the lack of availability of the gold model due to huge sales, spoke for them. Samsung already had a stab at bringing out a gold Galaxy S4 (although this was not, the company maintains, a shameless copycat effort), but now, the South Korean outfit has gone one better by taking the wraps off the - drums please - Galaxy S4 Crystal Edition.
To use multiple accounts on one site can be a bit of an arduous task, and really, with all the technology we have at our disposal, the process should be a lot simpler. At present, of all the websites I currently use, Gmail by Google is the only one I can think of that allows seamless switching between accounts, but thanks to a new Chrome extension, you can now easily log in to more than one profile or account with apparent ease.
There are a number of reasons why developers and end-users alike would want to take an image of what's on their display, but while screenshots can be useful in certain scenarios they are also very limited. The latest Android KitKat SDK has introduced a way for developers to easily record what’s on the device’s display, but how easy is it for that functionality to feed back to users? Thanks to CyanogenMod 11 and the new screencasting app it's actually very extremely easy - if you meet certain criteria that is.
Apple’s 12 Days Of Gifts App For Christmas Goes Live; US Gets A Taste Of Holiday Deals Too This Time
We're now firmly into that time of year where people start panicking about what they should be buying for their loved ones, and Apple will no doubt be hoping that at least one of those gifts has a perfectly crafted Apple logo on the back. Already preparing for the raft of new iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners that will no doubt be scurrying towards the App Store come December 25th, Apple's has made its '12 Days of Gifts' app available on the App Store - a full two weeks early.
When Windows 8 was just starting to make waves, one of the things that caught many people off guard was the fact that the Start button was gone. Not hidden, not moved, but removed completely. With Windows 8's move to Metro as an app launcher, there was deemed to be no need for a Start button. The Internet, nay the world disagreed.
The Halo franchise has been an integral part of the Xbox's success hitherto, and with the Xbox One having just entered the scene, Larry Hryb, better know as Major Nelson, has just revealed the release date of Halo: Spartan Assault on the console.
Samsung's Galaxy S4 is the company's current flagship, and since its release in the spring, many millions of units have been sold. With so many in the wild, it's only natural that some should develop faults, but with all the extensive testing carried out by Samsung to ensure that users aren't put in any danger, GS4 owner Richard Wygand was stunned to wake up next to his device bellowing smoke and flames.
It's fair to say, with Google Glass on the horizon and the likes of the Pebble and Galaxy Gear already on the market, that we're currently in the middle of a wearable tech boom. From the Nike FuelBand to the so-called iWatch, many companies are getting in on the act, and with something a little different to bring to the table comes Smarty Ring, a digital device that wraps around your finger. With notifications, access to two different clocks, social updates, smartphone tracking capabilities and Bluetooth, as well as a 24-hour battery life, it does a great deal more than your average band, and for a fraction of the price.
