In this day and age, we expect our digital devices and their accompanying software platforms to function, as advertised, one hundred percent of the time. Indeed, given Apple’s “it just works”motif carried through everything it creates, any blip in the mechanics is bound to cause a bit of a stir, and as you’ve probably already gathered, iCloud – along with iTunes, App Store and other connected online services – went down earlier on today. Given that even Apple Store employees have had to resort to pen and paper when liaising with customers, it quickly escalated into a mini debacle, but as the company continues to work on a fix, it has also has stepped out and apologized for the inconvenience.
It has been around a week since security researchers found a flaw that potentially left millions of computer, smartphone and tablet users at risk.

It's been a big day for Apple and its followers. The highly anticipated Apple Watch news arrived just as we expected, and we even got a new notebook computer and some Apple TV news to go with it.

The battle for supremacy in the smartphone arena continues to rage, and with this week's Mobile World Congress, we've seen a number of high-profile announcements from some of the major players in the industry. Among them is Samsung, which has announced the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge as it looks to recover from a torrid 2014, and we're just now learning that amid the poor sales general and lack of enthusiasm towards the many smartphones that Sammy launched last year, bitter rival Apple also overtook it as the world's foremost smartphone manufacturer in the final quarter.
It's new iOS and Mac wallpaper time, and with Apple having just announced a new media event there is only one thing for it: turn the invite into a wallpaper.
Apple has broadened the horizons of its native mapping service by bringing animated 3D imaging to Maps. Beginning in London with landmarks like Big Ben and the London Eye, it adds a nice, real-time feel to browsing in three dimensions, and in due course, should reach other major cities and iconic structures across the world.
