In the modern Digital Age in which we live, the smartphone seems to follow a very uniform design pattern. The large, touchscreen display is a form factor very few stray from, and besides the odd physical keyboard from BlackBerry, very few vendors can be seen breaking the mold.

It’s always nice to see some great feature from one platform getting replicated on the other, even if it’s through a third-party app. Apple’s Assistive Touch implementation in iOS is a fantastic addition, allowing control of several areas of the operating system without the press of a button, invoked through an on-screen floating button that can pull up a host of options when pressed. A similar trend is catching very fast on Android as well, made even better through the public availability of StandOut libraries.
Microsoft has just released an official Outlook app to the App Store for those rocking an iPhone or iPad.

We all love a remake of an old classic title, and thanks to the accessibility and popularity of the likes of the App Store and Google Play Store, developers have a suitable medium for reworking and distributing those games that really push our nostalgic buttons.

Details can be found after the leap!
If you’re at all tech savvy, chances are high that you’ll be a movie junkie as well. And if you qualify this criteria, one of your top visited websites has to include IMDb.
Apple's been at the center of one particular rumor for years now, and that's the rumor that claims an Apple television will eventually come into being. Over the years that rumor has morphed slightly, and now it's generally accepted that the Cupertino firm is indeed trying to come up with some sort of TV service.

A new OS X malware uses standard extensions such as .pdf and .doc to disguise malicious files as basic, harmless subjects. Discovered by F-Secure, the spoof technique uses a special Unicode character found in file names that gives an app the appearance of a standard document file, and although the threat level is quite low at this point, any malware and outbreak should be treated with a dose of respect and vigilance.
Smartwatches have suddenly become the next big thing, with almost every other major tech company rumored to be getting into the same line of product sometime soon.
