Last year, Facebook left the tech world astonished by its acquirement of the Instagram app for an eye-watering $1 billion, and today, the rumor mill is abuzz with the revelation that Google could be next in like to snap up a billion-buck social app. WhatsApp Messenger, the cross-platform instant messaging app serving iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Phone, is a life-saver to those looking for a hassle-free mode of communication, and according to a new report, the search giant is very interested in buying it.
Every now and again, a little maintenance work on any computer, tablet or smartphone device is necessary to help keep it performing at the top of its game. For example, running an anti-virus, spyware or adware program every other month will certainly help you fend off some of the Web's non-niceties. But even so, you cannot expect optimum performance if your storage is almost completely maxed out, and Clean Master for Android is one of those infinitely useful apps which scans, locates, and eradicates any unnecessary bulk which may be slowing your device down. More details can be found right after the jump.
Whenever a new piece of software is due to hit the market, it invariably leaks a great deal earlier than anticipated. History has repeated itself on some of the social network’s just-announced Facebook Home for Android software, with MoDaCo managing to get its hands on a pre-release version. The Google-branded Nexus 4 is said to be one of a handful of devices compatible with this pre-release version of the launcher, which will release officially for five handsets this coming Friday, and although one or two of the features don't appear to be working properly, it's a very nice find.

It may seem a little strange to say but here at Redmond Pie we are still continually blown away by developers within the jailbreak community and their continuing ability to come up with new and usable tweaks. Just when we think Cydia is reaching saturation point someone goes and submits a package that makes us all wonder why it hasn't been done already, which is definitely something that springs to mind with the new Pluck tweak on the ModMyi repository.
Most of us have come across a third-party app from the App Store at one time or another that has been built on an extremely confusing navigation structure and has managed to leave us all baffled. Does the app require a swipe to go back a step or does it have a simple back button on the navigation bar? Sometimes developers do get carried away and it can become confusing. Thankfully, Apple's native apps don't have this issue and seem to be extremely intuitive with the consistent placement of a back button on the left-hand side of the navigation bar that carries the title of the originating page.
It's only been a couple of days since Mark Zuckerberg announced its new Facebook Home for Android home launcher, and with the feature set to roll out to the vast majority of handsets over the coming months, the Palo Alto-based company is already looking to raise awareness.

As we would fully expect from a new flagship release from Samsung, the Galaxy S4 has not only added a bunch of new and impressive hardware to the fray, but also a hatful of intriguing software features bound to make our life that tad bit easier. During the announcement of the device a couple of weeks back, the company made much of the Dual Shot feature, which allows both front and rear-facing cameras to operate simultaneously to capture images or video. Such a feature is useful, for example, if you want to capture your environment as well as your reaction to it, and although this feature is exclusive to Galaxy S4 users for the time being, it hasn't taken long for a similar offering to reach the iTunes App Store.
