How to clear duplicates from Open With menu on Mac
I love my Mac but sometimes it does some strange things, such as showing me duplicate entries in the "Open With" contextual menu you get when you right click on a document. While I'm not sure why it happens, I hear it's due to the Launch Services database.
Of course, there probably is a valid explanation as to why and how it happens. Some people might even be able to convince me it's more of a feature rather than a bug, but the fact of the matter is that it drives me absolutely insane.
If like me, you are annoyed by this, I'll show you how to delete duplicates from the "Open With" menu on your Mac.

How Apple and Google tabulate app downloads
Two big numbers were coincidentally dropped yesterday. First, Google announced 48 billion applications had been downloaded from the Google Play Store. Shortly after, Apple announced that its App Store had seen 50 billion downloads so far. Big numbers indeed, but how exactly do Apple and Google count app downloads? The Next Web Managing Editor Matthew Panzarino asked both companies and this is what he found:
Both Apple and Google tabulate unique downloads of apps per user account. This means that they count only one download of an app no matter how many devices that you install that app on after you purchase it. Neither company counts updates in its app download numbers. These are purely single downloads from their stores.

JellyLock adds tons of new features and makes its way to the ModMyi repo
JellyLock has been my Lock screen launcher of choice for a few weeks now. Up until now, the jailbreak tweak was available on the developer's private repo only, limiting its availability to the masses, but the developer recently decided to move the package to the ModMyi repo.
Still labeled as a beta release, JellyLock packs some interesting features that take this tweak to yet another level while giving more customization options to users...

Luna now available in Cydia
A couple days ago, we gave you a preview of Luna, a new jailbreak tweak that lets you turn Do Not Disturb on and off, directly from the Lock screen or from Notification Center with a simple pull down gesture. Additionally, when your device is unlocked, Luna will display notifications with non intrusive banners.
Luna, which was born from a concept by Sentry and developed by Ryan Petrich, is now available in Cydia for two bucks...
The 16GB version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 only has 8GB of usable storage
In their review of the new Samsung Galaxy S4, CNET found out the following:
Nearly half of the S4's storage space (after a factory reset, our 16GB Galaxy S4 showed 8.49GB of available room) is taken up with the phone's operating system and built-in apps, limiting the amount of data you can store on the company's quad-core monster.
Now the question is, should Samsung sell it as an 8GB phone?
In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore
BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins said the following in a recent interview:
In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model.
But of course, what would BlackBerry know about a good business model?

Comex getting ready to intern at Google
If there is someone in the hacking community that is filling up his resume with some of the top tech companies, that would be Nicholas Allegra, aka Comex. Although he hasn't been really active in the iOS community since he released JailbreakMe 3.0, the young hacker hasn't been resting on his laurels either.
After carrying out an internship for Apple in 2011 (which was terminated in October 2012), Comex has now announced on Twitter that he is going to intern at Google...
