Google's Eric Schmidt appears to have pointed the finger at Apple over the lack of a Google Now app on the Cupertino firm's iOS devices during a recent Q&A session. More details right after the jump.
All users of Android, and definitely most readers of this website, are likely familiar with Google Play Store, Android’s online directory that connects users with a vast library of Google-approved third-party content, ranging from music and video to third-party apps and e-books. If a newly leaked video today is any indication, Google is getting ready for a major refresh for Google Play, with enhanced features and a much-improved design.
If you have ever been in a situation where you've needed to time something, or see how long it takes a friend to perform a certain task, the taking out your iPhone, launching the Clock app and jumping into the Stopwatch time is in itself a time consuming task. Granted, this may have only happened to an extremely small subset of iOS users, but a problem solved is still a problem solved, and thankfully, this niche problematic situation has been eradicated for jailbroken users thanks to the Stoppur tweak.
We are getting close to that time of the year again when speculation surrounding the next-generation iPhone hardware starts to intensify. We've recently seen Samsung announce the Galaxy S4 smartphone, which may not offer much in terms of visual innovation, but definitely packs a punch when it comes to internal hardware and specifications. Those who are coming to the end of their current minimum-term contracts will be debating whether or not to snap up the latest flagship Android device from Samsung, or wait to see what Apple has in store for us with the new iPhone, or the iPhone 5S.
After briefly making an appearance just two short days ago, Google Keep is now alive and kicking, officially this time, after the service went live following a blog post by the company.
A new potential security flaw has been found in a newly released version of the software that powers the iPhone, according to a new video that has cropped up on YouTube.
Capturing a screenshot on a Windows based PC is an easy affair. You can either hit the “PrtScr” button and paste it in an image editor of your choice, or, if you’re using Windows 8, then you can press the Windows + PrtScr key combinations to snap a screenshot, in addition to the Snipping Tool. But on OS X, the process is slightly different, and in this guide we’ll walk you through the different methods on how you can capture a screenshot on an OS X powered Mac. More details after the jump.
An early morning alarm is by far the worst thing that can happen to a person during their day. Unfortunately, most of us have to attend work, school or some other pressing engagement which means that they are one of life's necessary evils to wake us from our overnight slumber. Still, just because the majority of us hate the morning alarm, it doesn't mean that those of us who are jailbroken can't add a little extra pizazz to that wake-up call, does it? Thankfully, Cydia has our back once again with the relatively new Wake Info package.
One of Apple's finer introductions into iOS in recent times has definitely been the inclusion of Notification Center, a section of the OS that allows users to have a dedicated area for incoming notifications and native widgets. Jailbreak developers always seem extremely keen to exploit the real-estate which Notification Center provides, which has resulted in numerous Cydia based extensions. One of the latest, and definitely one of the most in-depth to date, is the Tap to Widgets package that introduces multiple widgets to help users with productivity based tasks.
One of Android’s biggest strengths over competitive smartphone and tablet platforms is the operating system’s allowance for customization. Indeed, when it comes to Google’s offering for smartphones, there’s hardly an area that you cannot change to you liking and will, ranging from something as mundane as a wallpaper, to theming the whole OS with various launchers, customized lock screens, widgets and whatnot. It was also Android that made popular the concept of live (interactive) wallpapers, and the widgets that the OS has on offer are nothing short, either. In such a scenario, any customization app becomes worth a look, especially if it offers something new.
