Although there are only a couple of Nexus devices currently on the market from Google, that all looks set to change in the next couple of weeks or so. The rumor mill has been overloaded with speculation regarding several unspecified Nexus smartphones and tablets, including what's being labeled as the Nexus 10.
When Apple put a Retina display into the iPhone 4, the world was stunned by its crisp visuals, and equally so with the third-gen iPad when it dropped back in March. While the MacBook Pro's Retina display certainly doesn't fail to dazzle, consumers haven't leapt to adopt the very latest addition to the Cupertino's notebook family in such high numbers.
When Mozilla first brought Firefox to the scene, adoption rates were phenomenal thanks to the lackluster performance of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Alternative browsers were there, but none seemed to generate the hype and critical acclaim as Firefox did. Things have changed significantly since the days of Firefox 3, though, and with Google looking to dominate every technological field involving software, Mozilla has done pretty will to remain relevant.
The world has been talking about going paperless over the last few years in an attempt to reduce the strain that we are placing on the environment with all of our waste. Recycling efforts have helped reduce environmental damage but thanks to the simple but effective Paperless app, iPhone and iPod touch users can now do their bit to help save the planet and reduce personal clutter in the process. Paperless is intended to allow us to scan and save receipts in one central location, which means users don't need to carry wallets full of paper-based proof around with them.
The November 6th release date for Halo 4 is looming near, and with excitement levels already at an all-time high, it's time to notch it up a few more levels now since the official Halo 4 'Scanned' trailer has been released. The trailer has been produced by David Fincher, who may be better known to film buffs as the director of Fight Club and The Social Network, and brings an extraordinary amount of detail all combined together in a hybrid production of mixed media and video game footage.
It was undoubtedly a disappointing day for the jailbreak loving world when Nicholas Allegra (Comex) publicly announced his departure from the community as a result of accepting an internship at the company he had worked so hard to circumvent in the few years prior. We will never really know if producers of jailbreak tools and tweaks do so in the hope of becoming known by Apple and ultimately offered dream employment with the Cupertino company, but after a year working the fruit Company, Allegra is officially flying solo once again.
When it comes to personalization of a user-interface, our first thoughts are usually directed to our mobile devices. Because they are in fact so personal, we - almost subconsciously - arrange every little segment exactly as we wish, tailoring the experience, and to a lesser degree, the same process is followed at desktop level.
The Galaxy Nexus may now be a bit of a relic in comparison to the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, but it still generates quite a bit of discussion amongst Android fans. The recent Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update, which has slowly but surely been trickling through to a large portion of Galaxy Nexus owners, has seen the once Ice Cream Sandwich-inclined smartphone thrust back into the news, and in the latest, those running "takju" iterations of the handset can now get their fill of 4.1.2.
Google's Chromebook hasn’t proved to be quite popular amongst the general consumer since first being announced at last year's I/O, and the Mountain View-based outfit has just announced a new addition to the roster. Sundar Pinchai, Senior VP of Chrome and Apps, has revealed the $249 kit for release next week, while special kiosks will begin popping up over 500 of the most heavily-populated Best Buy stores across the US to give prospective consumers a taster of what's on offer.
