The weekend is upon us again. No more getting up early, putting on a suit, and heading out for a grueling day’s work. For the next two days, you can rest your head, watch movies on Netflix, and play your favorite games.
Whether you want to take a virtual tour of exotic locations, learn about one of the world’s most epic wars, or just want something new to wake you up in the morning, we have a list of apps to get your through the weekend...
In January of last year, Parrot took the wraps off of its AR.Drone 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show. And needless to say, the easy-to-fly iPhone-controlled quadricopter, with its built-in 720p camera, wowed the crowds.
Unfortunately, though, the AR.Drone 2.0 suffered from a problem similar to its predecessor—battery life. The RC vehicle could only fly for about 15 mins on a single charge. But that's about change with the new Power Edition...
And the flattening continues. First iOS 7, then Jonny Ive’s title, followed by the iCloud Beta website, and now the iPad in Business website has been revamped to match Apple's newly found approach to software design. Gone is the old column-based appearance, making way for a simpler one-column design which highlights specific benefits business users can expect from deploying Apple's tablet, such as paperless office, dynamic data reports, transaction processing and more...
Following a handful of fatal electrocutions in China due to the use of unauthorized chargers, Apple unveiled a new USB Power Adapter Takeback Program earlier this month to "enable customers to acquire properly designed adapters."
The program, which allows folks to turn in their third-party adapters for recycling, or trade them in towards the purchase of an Apple-branded adapter, officially launched yesterday, and it's now available in 30 countries around the globe...
Apple began emailing developers last night, informing them that their Developer Website would be going offline on August 17th—that's tonight—at 6PM PST for a "brief scheduled maintenance."
The move comes exactly one week after Apple alerted developers that all of its remaining Dev Center services had been brought back online following a three week outage due to a security breach...
When I think of an iPhone case, I primarily worry about protection, looks, construction material, and practicality. Typically, these would be the standards by which I grade a case for review, after using them for about a week's time. Very rarely, if ever, do I worry about the level of fun my iPhone case can produce.
Call me a cynic, maybe a realist, but iPhone cases and fun do not typically mix. Sure, there are really cool and awesome cases out there that may invoke some sort of childish excitement by the user. However, after running across the Retro Game Case lineup by Pure Gear, having fun may just be the new factor for favorite cases...
If you're heading out to go see the new Jobs biopic, or any other movie this weekend, be sure to keep an eye out for Apple's new Mac Pro ad. Reports are surfacing that it has started airing in theaters nationwide.
The commercial, which was first shown at WWDC during a sneak preview of Apple's new Pro computer, shows the radically-redesigned desktop tower from various angles. We've got the ad queued up after the fold...
Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller became $20 million richer today, according to documents filed with the SEC. The papers show that Schiller cashed in a ton of Apple stock for more than $18 million in cash.
In all, Schiller sold a total of 37,172 shares of common stock at a price of $500 for a total haul of $18.6 million. That's almost exactly half of his 75,000 shares that vested in June, which was half of the 150,000 share bonus he received last fall...
Following a series of changes made to its iTunes terms and conditions and App Store Review guidelines, Apple has this afternoon emailed developers with additional details regarding the new 'Kids' section in the App Store.
The email describes the new category as a place where parents can go on the App Store to find age-appropriate apps and games for children. It also breaks down the new age groups for the section and offers additional details...
For years Apple's developers were allowed to register up to a hundred iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices for app testing and ad hoc distribution, as long as they paid their $99 annual membership fee.
But large development teams have always been complaining how Apple's policy poses a serious problem with complex projects involving several dozen individuals who actively participate in the software development process.
These development devices are indispensable for testing purposes. For example, third-party developers routinely provide me with beta builds of upcoming apps and updates, which requires registering my device's UDID via the developer's account through Apple's iOS Dev Center.
Previously, developers could register up to a hundred iOS devices per account and now Apple is starting to double the number of devices developers can use to for ad hoc distribution to 200 iPhones, iPads or iPod touches per account...
As expected, Apple has seeded iTunes 11.1 beta 2 to developers this afternoon. The release comes shortly after the company released iTunes 11.0.5 to the public, which included a fix for iTunes in the Cloud.
Today's update also comes a little more than two weeks after Apple released the first beta for iTunes 11.1, which included support for iTunes Radio, Apple’s ad-driven music service. More details after the fold...
After giving Google+ for Android its fair share of love earlier in the week, the Internet giant Google today pushed a new version of its universal iPhone and iPad app.
In accordance with the announcement back on Tuesday, the new build gets rid of the built-in Messenger feature as the focus turns to the new Hangouts app which was created to consolidate Google's many chat services under a single umbrella.
Google+ version 4.5 also features Google Apps domain support and lets you view, edit and share photos stored in your Google Drive...
