For those of you using the Nexus S by Samsung, you’ll probably have access to the newest Android OS (Ice Cream Sandwich) way one or the other. Thanks to CyanogenMod 9, you’re able to get an early preview on your devices now. The newest alpha is by no means the last, but it runs smoother and faster than its predecessors.
Ever since Siri released on the iPhone 4S about a couple of months, we’ve seen an outpour of Siri-like apps for Android. None of these apps, to be honest, have reached the level of ease-of-use that Siri offers, but this new alternative that has popped up today may just give it some real competition. Details after the jump!
Just yesterday, we published a post discussing not one, not two but four new plugins for Siri Proxy that allowed the texting of messages through Google Voice (instead of just the stock Messages.app), powering on a Wake On LAN computer, controlling iTunes and launching of any program through custom Siri commands. Today, we came across an all new plugin which lets user control parts of their room through Siri. Check it out after the jump!
It's one of the most exciting parts of a new iOS beta being seeded to developers, and people just love digging around for it. "It" is any kind of reference to a new iDevice or Apple TV hidden inside the latest betas to ship out of Cupertino, and iOS 5.1 beta 1 has thrown up a few interesting tidbits already.
Apple has just seeded the first beta version of iOS 5.1 for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, and iPod touch to the registered developers of iOS Dev Center.
Microsoft's Kinect peripheral for the Xbox 360 - allowing gamers to interact in their environment similarly to the Nintendo Wii - has been an unquestionable and unprecedented success.
For those of you that are tired of the Angry Birds phenomenon, we’d like to introduce you to a different kind of puzzle game. Physics will still be involved but now with fewer birds getting hurt or eggs getting stolen.
We told you recently about a brand new Cydia tweak called Siri0us, which brings Siri-like dictation to the iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 4G touting a jailbroken version of iOS 5. The tweak is free, and has been downloaded by a good few people since it started to receive some publicity by both ourselves and a handful of tech sites.
New Plugins For Siri Proxy: Google Voice, Wake On LAN, iTunes Control And Launch Any Program [VIDEO]
About one week ago, we published a post talking about how this one developer managed to open Siri up for other developers so they could come up with plugins that would extend its functionality beyond the usual wake-me-up, play-me-this-song, tell-me-the-weather type commands. We’ve talked about a couple of pieces of software that make use of this and, today in this post, we’ll be talking about four more plugins.
While Black Friday is done and dusted, it is time for Cyber Monday. For those unaware of the term, Cyber Monday is a term used for the Monday that follows Black Friday. It is a one-day online shopping event where companies lower prices (and hence, profits) in order to gain more revenue. Generally speaking, Cyber Monday deals aren’t as good as Black Friday’s, but they are still something every consumer electronics/gadgets enthusiast should look into. Since we’re a technology blog, we’ll be covering different Cyber Monday deals throughout the day. In this post, we’ve listed Cyber Monday deals on Microsoft products which you can check out after the break!
