| Facebook now searches your posts, status updates, photo captions, Notes and check-ins Posted: 30 Sep 2013 04:09 PM PDT
You can kiss good-bye good ol’ days when you could count on limited exposure to your Facebook friends due to theirs not having enough time to meticulously comb through your entire Timeline. But starting today and onwards, figuring out where you were, what you commented on your ex’s photos, whether you mentioned “drunk” or F-words in posts and much, much more can become unravelled pretty easily. That’s the power of Facebook’s updated Graph Search for you. After first experiencing Graph Search in action earlier this year, I went ecstatic. Finally, I could use Facebook’s search field for something more complex than barebone friends search. For example, as an avid photography fan I absolutely love the ability to filter just the photos my mom took in Prague back in 2007, or those of my significant other I snapped up last year. That was merely warming up – Facebook now includes more of your content in Graph Search than ever before, things like your posts (way overdue), status updates (useful), photo captions (fun), Notes (meh) and check-ins (creepy)…(...)

Right now is a great time to be a sports fan. College and pro football are in full swing, and we’re on the verge of post-season Major League Baseball and the beginning of the 2013-14 basketball season. And with so much going on, it’s nice to have a sports app around to help you keep up with everything.

| Volkswagen shows off augmented reality iPad app for repair technicians Posted: 30 Sep 2013 11:18 AM PDT
Apple’s iPad has been used for a number of various augmented-reality applications which impose real-world information over live video feed. The car industry seems to be particularly keen on embracing the Apple tablet. Cody last month told you about eKurzinfo, an Audi app that uses an iOS device camera to help identify parts and features on your car. Today, Volkswagen is highlighting a similar augmented-reality software, but aimed at repair technicians and car dealers. It’s called MARTA (Mobile Augmented Reality Technical Assistance) and Volkswagen showed it off ahead of the InsideAR Conference, the world’s largest augmented reality conference slated to run October 11, 2013 in Munich, Germany…(...)

Not to be outdone by fellow prepaid telco Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile is said to soon start carrying Apple’s iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c handsets. According to EVLeaks, the Irvine, California headquartered Boost Mobile should start selling both new iPhones soon on its no-contract unlimited monthly plan with Shrinking Payments. Again, Boost is a prepaid carrier so they’ll be likely selling full-price, unsubsidized handsets with plans probably starting at around $50 per month, decreasing every six months until the plan pricing hits $35…(...)

| Cook to employees: take a Thanksgiving week off, you deserve it Posted: 30 Sep 2013 07:52 AM PDT
“I realize many of you worked tirelessly to bring us this far. I know it required great personal sacrifice,” wrote Apple’s boss Tim Cook in an email to the company’s employees before making a surprise announcement. “In recognition of your incredible efforts and achievements, I'm happy to announce that we're extending the Thanksgiving holiday this year,” reads the memo. Although the extended Thanksgiving holiday won’t apply to Apple’s retail and support army “so we can continue to serve our customers,” the rest of Apple will shut down with pay on November 25, 26, and 27, Cook wrote. I’ve included the full contents of Cook’s email to employees right below…(...) "Cook to employees: take a Thanksgiving week off, you deserve it" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| New M7 details reveal outstanding power efficiency Posted: 30 Sep 2013 07:15 AM PDT
Apple has made quite a noise about its brand new chip, the M7 motion coprocessor designed to offload taking sensor measurements from the iPhone 5s’s main A7 processor. Because the M7 requires at least one-sixth of the power versus the 64-bit A7 chip, it can log data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass sensors independently of the A7 package, thus allowing for substantial power savings. The details of how this data is captured and what power savings developers can count on were kept to Apple’s chest until the Argus app made headlines as the first fitness software optimized for the M7 silicon. Here are a few previously unknown details about Apple’s motion coprocessor hardware…(...) "New M7 details reveal outstanding power efficiency" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| New iPhones (again) available with in-store pickup Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:22 AM PDT
Exactly a week ago, Apple extended its Personal Pickup service to the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, allowing customers to order their handset online for same-day delivery to one of Apple’s retail outlets in the United States. Then the following day it pulled the in-store pickup for both new iPhones without an explanation, with anonymous sources telling one publication the company will reinstate the option today. Sure enough, both new handsets are now available with in-store pickup option…(...) "New iPhones (again) available with in-store pickup" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Rdio promises to bring back Recommendations Posted: 30 Sep 2013 05:56 AM PDT
As of recently, Rdio has been making a number of moves in a bid to fight off the Apple iTunes Radio threat. Just a few days ahead of Apple’s September 10 iTunes Radio launch, Rdio unveiled a new ad-supported music service in partnership with radio operator Cumulus. And back in August, the popular service gained such abilities as station tuning, improved search, Pandora-style personalized Stations and more. Rdio’s latest effort to re-introduce some of the original magic involves bringing back Recommendations, a feature popularized by the inaugural 1.0 version of Rdio…(...)

| TSMC could account for bulk of A8 production Posted: 30 Sep 2013 05:31 AM PDT
The sometimes-reliable Taiwanese publication, DigiTimes, has been saying for years that Apple was shifting its chip manufacture away from Samsung and towards its rival, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). In its new report Monday, the trade publication now claims that TSMC will be responsible for the bulk of orders for Apple’s next-generation processor, the A8 chip, with Samsung taking care of about one-third of orders…(...)

Apple has overtaken Coca-Cola as the new most valuable brand in the world, according to a new report from brand consulting firm Interbrand. The move puts an end to the beverage company’s 13-year reign as #1. The firm calculates that the Apple brand is worth in upwards of $100 billion.

| New GBA emulator found in the App Store, get it while you can Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:49 AM PDT
At any given time, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of apps floating around the App Store with built-in ROM emulators. These apps are disguised as calculators and sketch pads, but feature the hidden ability to play old-school games. And everyone once in a while we find out the name of one of these apps, and how to activate its secret feature, before Apple has the chance to pull it. And that just so happens to be the case with this newly-posted app called Earthquake 7…(...) "New GBA emulator found in the App Store, get it while you can" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
Readdle is known for producing top quality productivity apps that are easy to use and offer lots of features to help you get things done.
The beat goes on for primo patent troll Lodsys. Apple’s attempt to intervene in a concerted clipping of iOS developers failed after a patent-owner friendly judge dismissed the tech giant’s legal motion. U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap in East Texas ruled Apple’s motion “is far outside the scope” of his courtroom.
Apps that read you the news are all the rage right now. Well, at least a few of them are raging hard in the App Store.
