If you've ever wondered what a boat would look like if it had Steve Jobs fingerprints all over it, then feast your eyes upon this beauty - the video below shows what is believed to be Steve Jobs' own yacht, recently built by a company in Holland.
As soon as Apple entered the small tablet market with its recently announced iPad mini, plenty of people understandably suggested that the game was up for the competition. Can the likes of Google, Amazon and the rest compete when the 800lb gorilla that is Apple comes knocking? Well, turns out Amazon for one, can.
As mentioned in my detailed review of Windows 8 Pro, there are significant visual changes in Microsoft’s new desktop operating system. Nearly every UI element has seen some sort of brush-up based on Microsoft’s Metro design language that focuses on content over chrome.
One of the (many) reasons why you may want to go for a $199 16GB Nexus 7 over the $329 16GB iPad mini is the former’s ability to be radically customized in ways Apple devices just can’t be.
In my detailed Windows 8 Pro review, I mentioned that there is a distinct lack of a large variety of quality apps on the Windows Store when compared to offerings on the Mac App Store and, in some ways, the Ubuntu (Linux) Software Center.
In a headline the senior execs over at Apple could only dream of, Google's special Android scheduled to be held in New York City this coming Monday has been cancelled due to the threat of an impending hurricane. According to a report over at The Verge, Hurricane Sandy is looming, and as such, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in response to the incoming storm, and Google's event was set to take place on a waterfront pier, which is now in an evacuation zone yesterday.
Whenever you make the switch - from iOS to Android, or Windows to Mac, for example, things can seem a little daunting at first, and although elements may look rather similar in places, they don't always function in the manner in which you are used to. While the changes in Windows 8 aren't necessarily as different from previous versions of Windows than they are to, say, OS X, current Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 users still might feel as though they've been dropped into unchartered territory, and might find Windows 8 a little tricky to get to grips with.
Windows Phone 8 might just be a short while way from its official launch, but even now, new features are still being unveiled on a daily basis. Microsoft may have already covered most of the main perks and quirks of WP8, but those anxious to learn what the Redmond company has in store have continued to dig. Unearthing the latest gem is Nokia Innovation, which has shared an image of what appears to be Windows Phone 8's Live Wallpaper lock screen feature.
Xbox SmartGlass has been in the offing for quite a while now, and with Windows 8 finally available to purchase online and at all good retailers, the remaining Redmond releases are also beginning to trickle out. SmartGlass for Android is now available to download for free at the Google Play Store, and if you're an Xbox 360 and Android user, this is an app you will not want to miss.
Samsung has posted their quarterly turnover for the last three months, and it makes extremely good reading for executives and shareholders of the Korean based electronics company. A large portion of that revenue has been put down to the success of their Galaxy S range of devices such as the S II and the current flagship S III powerhouse that is leading the Android market. To celebrate the earnings announcement, Best Buy is offering the Galaxy S III at a 50% reduced rate for the next three hours.
