Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference commences from next month on June 10th, and the well-informed Jim Dalrymple has waded into the ongoing debate by casting his expectations on the forthcoming event. He suggests that, in terms of new hardware, we shouldn't hold out any hope of a significant new iOS device, but we could see some alterations to the Mac line.

Every once in a while, an app appears on the App Store that brings something new and exciting to the table. Realmac Software's Clear to-do app was exactly that, making us realize that bringing a degree of organization to our lives doesn't necessitate a clunky, over-the-top interface packing scores of features. That same company recently changed things up with a brand new photo-taking app called Analog Camera – which was teased a while back - which once again strongly emphasizes clean, effective and minimalistic design.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has been the biggest smartphone release of the year, having shifted 10 million units in its first month on sale.

As well as the camera-focused Galaxy S4 Zoom and the ruggedized dust and waterproof model for those careless / overly careful folks out there, the Galaxy S4 Active, the Korean company is also poised to release a Galaxy S4 mini, and if leaked benchmarks are to be believed, the device will pack in a Snapdragon 400 processor.
Speaking with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at D11 in California on Tuesday night, Tim Cook was predictably coy with regards to specific information on upcoming Apple products and services. Speaking calmly and in his typically emollient fashion, the Cupertino head honcho spoke broadly of his company's desire to continue innovating, on Google's Glass project, and an assortment of other important topics in tech space.
It isn't exactly a well kept secret that the best way to drum up interest and excitement about your upcoming app or tweak is to release previews and beta copies well before the final product hits the market. Consumer interest is always at its peak when they have seen something that they want but can't quite get their hands on immediately. Show them something that they want and them make them wait for it. That seems to be exactly the case with the recently release Badger tweak that was previewed a month or so ago, but has now finally made its way onto Cydia for the BigBoss repository.
If you find the speaker volume of your iPhone to be a little on the quiet side, help is at hand thanks to a jailbreak tweak by the name of Volume Amplifier.
