Not confident in Siri’s abilities to aid you in life’s daily journey? Google has provided Android users with a similar (but better) option with Google Now. And while Google Now news dropped for iOS a couple months back, it was quickly pulled. Today, however, it’s finally ready. Google Now for iOS is now available (iTunes Link) in the App Store (via the Google Search app), bringing Google’s fantastic information client to iOS users. Understandably,...

Want the fun of UI customization that jailbreaking provides but none of the commitment or risk associated with opening the innards of the OS to hackers? CocoPPa does does just that. How the (web)app works is simple; it just creates shortcuts (i.e.: new icons on your desktop) for apps installed on your phone.

Being a developer isn’t the easiest of jobs. For starters, there’s a ton of competition. Then, finding that “dream” developing job as opposed to a cubicle slave slinging 1′s and 0′s and seemingly boring projects is a battle in and of itself. The ultimate goal to some (self employment) is hard, tiring and requires you to be the man who knows everything. On that note, no market is as hotly competitive as the mobile market. Apps apps apps....

The biggest event on any Apple’s fan’s calendar is WWDC. It is there where the companies mobile efforts are unveiled for the coming year, giving us an early glimpse of what’s to come. 2013′s WWDC will be one of the biggest in the iOS platform’s history, rivaled only by the original iPhone unveiling as this year will mark the first time another person’s hands have touched the design controls. Scott Forstall is no more. In his place is...

Think that the already tiny laptop/ultrabook hard drives couldn’t get smaller? Think again. While solid state drives are basically no more than an array of the same flash memory found in tiny flash drives, traditional spinning hard drives have some limitations in the quest for a smaller footprint. But Western Digital has managed to push the limits further down with their new (world’s first) 5mm laptop/ultrabook hard drive. The Blue and Black editions will be...

Samsung’s Galaxy Note line has continued pushing the boundaries each year. The larger than life device has changed the definition of “big screen” twice now. And for 2013 it looks like the size limits will again be tested. But more uniquely, Samsung might be testing other limits regarding displays. But this new item is a bit deeper and unseen by the naked eye. According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Note III will ship with the world’s first plastic OLED...

While many custom PC builders will look at the motherboard, processor or GPU as the most important thing in their build, the lowly computer cases gets overlooked far too often. Hell, you can use a pizza box if you really want to. But cutting corners with your case to make up elsewhere isn’t always worth it. From a visual standpoint, super cheap cases usually look and feel the part. In terms of performance, important metrics like temperature and available hard drive...

It’s been a loooooong time since the Cookoo watch iOS app received an update. So long, in fact, we’ve mostly forgotten about it. While it’s a good product in practice, up until now it has lacked a lot of features promised at CES. But today, a new update has dropped bringing with it some very important new features. New Features: In-app Notification center Twitter support (Finally!) “My Accounts” (account manager for social services like...

Maybe the latest and greatest Apple/iOS or Android rumor isn’t quite your cup of tea. Maybe, you’re the type to fancy a juicy Windows Phone related rumor. Hmm? Well then. A couple of newly leaked images claiming to show an upcoming Nokia Lumia device (“Catwalk”) that is a follow-up to the current flagship Lumia 920. The phone looks nice visually speaking. A new aluminum chassis will help with size and weight while the 4.5-inch display, S4 dual-core...

Since the iPhone has been gracing the public scene circa 2007, rumors have constantly swirled that Apple would release a “lite” or budget version of their flagship device to cater to lower income customers and developing countries. Year after year, however, we have yet to see any actual device. But today, we may finally have our first glance at this elusive device.
