Yo! Sushi, a UK restaurant franchise, made a name for itself by delivering sushi to customers using the Japanese style 'kaiten' conveyor belt method.

Sushi in Soho, central London. Your video is right after the break...
Spoiler alert! For folks who don't want to ruin the surprises Apple has in store for us tomorrow, I recommend you stop reading now. The folks over at 9to5Mac say they've just been given a sneak peek at an early beta of iOS 7, and have described it in detail.
Contrary to a report from earlier today, it sounds like most of what we've heard about the next version of iOS is spot on. The entire UI has been completely redesigned with flat icons and other elements, and a new, Helvetica Nueue Ultra Light-like font...
In what has become almost a customary, pre-keynote tradition, The Wall Street Journal has just posted a story claiming that it has confirmed the long-standing rumors that Apple will be introducing a new streaming music service tomorrow.

Whenever you perform a Spotlight search by typing search terms in the Spotlight search bar, and then exit the search, the Spotlight search field remains populated when you swipe back to the Spotlight search screen. This is how Spotlight search works with stock settings.

Tomorrow morning, Tim Cook and company will take the stage for Apple's annual WWDC keynote. And looking at the recently hung banners, they'll use at least part of the event to show off a new version of OS X and a redesigned iOS 7.
The banners have become a staple at the Conference, offering up subtle clues and not-so-subtle clues of what's to come. And with that in mind, as we prepare for a big day tomorrow, here's a look at the WWDC banners from the last decade...
In case you haven’t picked up on it yet, tomorrow is a huge day for Apple. Not only is it the first day of WWDC, but the Cupertino company will also be giving a keynote speech in which it's expected to make a number of announcements.
As presumed, there won’t be a live video stream of tomorrow’s media event. And a clip of the keynote won’t likely be available until hours after it’s over. But never fear, iDB will be here all day providing you with coverage and commentary...
Throwing its proverbial credibility behind a recent rumor of iOS 7 having native Flickr and Vimeo integration, the credulous Wall Street Journal has just published a write-up which asserts that Apple's upcoming iOS revision will feature photo-sharing enhancements alongside new look. iOS 7 will include "new ways to share photos and videos" with other users, people who are reportedly involved in its development said...
An Israeli newspaper is reporting today that Google has won the bidding war for the popular crowd-sourced navigation app Waze. The two companies are in the process of finalizing an acquisition deal said to be worth $1.3 billion.
The report comes after several months of speculation that Waze was in buyout talks with a number of tech giants including Apple, and more recently Facebook—all with price tags in the neighborhood of a billion dollars...
