One of the great things about the third-gen iPad is the fact that apps, images and artistic type features look stunning on the high-resolution display. The Concepts app from TopHatch is a great example of an artistic based app that makes perfect use of every pixel on the iPad, allowing users to mockup unique and stunning creations directly on the device.
"FIFA Friday," as it is unofficially dubbed, has been and gone for this year, and FIFA Soccer 13 has already sold in the millions for Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS. It may be the most popular on the market, but it's certainly not the only soccer simulator one can purchase, and the Real Soccer series does have its fair share of admirers.
I'm not sure about you, but I love seeing some of the most sought after, well-crafted and technologically-advanced gadgets be torched, chopped and dropped - all in the name of pure entertainment. While thousands - if not millions - of consumers save up their pennies for months in order to afford their next big tech purchase, there's always a company or organization out there simply tarnishing them and filming the result for our viewing pleasure.
Beats By Dr. Dre is a brand everybody now recognizes.

Coffee-peddling franchise Starbucks grabbed itself a bit of additional airtime by being among the first companies to offer support for Apple's Passbook feature of iOS 6. As is often the case, support didn't stretch outside the borders of the United States, but today, support for consumers in the United Kingdom has been added, as well as Canada.
After going through a period of public beta testing, Microsoft has started to officially rollout the planned changes to their Xbox LIVE service.

Social networking apps are always popular on any mobile platform, and the iOS App Store certainly has a fairly sizeable amount of them to choose from.

The next couple of weeks will undoubtedly be all about the future of Windows with the launch of Windows 8 and Microsoft's Surface tablet coming on October 26th, but this rather informative infographic gives us a chance of taking a walk down memory lane and seeing the evolution of the company's much-loved software.
