Jony Ive, or Sir Jony Ive as he is known in his native United Kingdom, is widely regarded as the man behind some of Apple's most iconic designs.

Although a large portion of us carry around more than one mobile device that is always beeping, ringing or displaying a notification informing you that someone has just poked you on Facebook, and there are a lot of moments when you just wish your device could just keep quite. With every installed app seeming to have some kind of notification ability built into it, it can sometimes be tough to just relax without the iPhone or iPad prompting you to read something.

Google CEO Larry Page has just announced that the company has at last completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility, which has been in the works for around 9 months now.

Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Facebook games are usually thought of as games that allow casual users to farm or run salons and shops, but that's about to change.
