| XCOM: Enemy Unknown updated with new multiplayer mode, goes half price Posted: 10 Oct 2013 03:48 PM PDT
If you’re amongst the iOS gamers that thought XCOM: Enemy Unknown looked awesome when it hit earlier this year, but was way too expensive, we’ve got some great news for you: it’s 50% off right now. That’s right, alongside a 1.3 update that adds asynchronous multiplayer, full Game Center support and other new features, the popular strategy-action game has been discounted down from $19.99 to $9.99…(...)

| Jony Ive on designing the one-off Leica M for (RED) camera Posted: 10 Oct 2013 03:20 PM PDT
Apple’s SVP of Design Jony Ive recently teamed up with Australia-born Marc Newson (another influential industrial designer who conceives designs for aircraft, furniture, jewelry and clothing) to create a one-of-a-kind, aluminum-clad Leica Rangefinder for Product (RED). Vanity Fair sat with the two men to discuss various topics ranging from design in general to collaborating on the special-edition Leica camera to how it felt creating a product that’ll ultimately be enjoyed by just one user…(...)

| Apple reportedly cutting iPhone 5c production in half Posted: 10 Oct 2013 01:55 PM PDT
When Apple announced that the pricing for the plastic iPhone 5c would only come in $100 less than its flagship 5s, the entire tech world let out a harmonious gasp. The handset, which we had all known about for months prior, was supposed to retail in the $300 range. A lot of folks predicted that the higher pricing would lead to the device’s downfall. And it may have. Apple didn’t announce any sales numbers after the 5c’s opening weekend, and today, a new report is out claiming that the company is cutting production in half…(...)

| Apple seen poaching BlackBerry employees in Ontario Posted: 10 Oct 2013 11:55 AM PDT
With the future of BlackBerry up in the air, it’s no surprise that the company’s more talented employees have begun looking for a new home. And apparently, Apple is hoping that at least some of them find their new home in Cupertino. According to a new report, the iPad-maker has begun poaching BlackBerry talent via a recruitment drive near the BlackBerry offices in Ontario. And it’s offering up both relocation and immigration assistance to hirable candidates…(...) "Apple seen poaching BlackBerry employees in Ontario" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Fitbit launches Force fitness tracker with Bluetooth 4.0 and call notifications Posted: 10 Oct 2013 11:44 AM PDT
Fitbit’s health and fitness trackers are well regarded by fans of wearables. The San Francisco startup has managed to win over the active types with its Flex wristband, Zip and Fitbit One activity trackers and today they’re adding another gadget to its lineup: the Force fitness tracker. Slap it on your wrist and the Force will dutifully record the steps taken, distance traveled, stairs climbed, calories burned and active minutes. It also measures the quality of your sleep (how many times you wake up) and has a nice built-in OLED display to show time and, soon, incoming call notifications…(...)

| This iMessage prank got me going for a while Posted: 10 Oct 2013 11:09 AM PDT
Earlier this week, Jeff played a really good prank on me. As I received a message from him, I opened up the Messages application and couldn’t see anything but a typing indicator. So I waited patiently for Jeff to finish typing, figuring that Messages were having yet some other issues, which could have explained why I received an alert, yet didn’t see any message. Long story short, Jeff got me pretty good, and here is how you can get your friends too…(...) "This iMessage prank got me going for a while" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

I'll bet you wish you could block that person from calling or texting you. Especially if that person is kind of nuts and won't leave you alone. Apple has finally given us a way to stop unwanted calls by making it possible to block callers in iOS 7 and we are going to show you how to enable it…(...)

| ‘SideSettings’ lets you open settings from any app Posted: 10 Oct 2013 08:36 AM PDT
SideSettings is a recently released tweak that lets you open up the settings for any app as a sidebar. Instead of having to exit the app, go to the Settings app, and access the app's preferences, SideSettings immediately takes you to the settings of whatever app you have open using a simple swipe gesture. Of course, all apps don't have preferences to configure. In cases such as these, SideSettings will open up the stock Settings app instead. I really enjoy SideSettings based on its originality alone. It's a must see tweak that you have to witness on video to appreciate its ingenuity. Have a look at our full video walkthrough inside.(...)

Apple has gained approval to sell its iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in Brazil. That country’s National Telecommunications Agency granted the tech giant the right to use the 4G-ready 2600 Mhz band, an upgrade from the previous 700 Mhz. The new handsets are being produced at Foxconn’s Brazil factories. The government’s approval follows Apple winning the right to use the iPhone trademark.

| As it passes 90M users, Flipboard details its surprisingly affluent audience Posted: 10 Oct 2013 07:39 AM PDT
I’m a regular Flipboard users – have been since its inception in December 2010 – and am glad to see this unique social news reader service thriving. It was just two weeks ago that Flipboard announced a $50 million dollar round of funding and less than a month since it signed up its 85 millionth user and now the company has confirmed it’s passed 90 million users. By any measure, that’s a significant milestone. Any service that can claim nearly a hundred million users is clearly doing something right and deserves our attention. Turns out Flipboard is doing a lot of things right and I’ve included the most interesting factoids after the break…(...)

Just as Microsoft’s exiting CEO Steve Ballmer yesterday officially confirmed that Redmond won’t release Office for iPad until after a touch-optimized edition hits Windows devices, we’re hearing that the Windows maker will release its Remote Desktop software for iOS and Android devices later in October. Remote Desktop Connection, often simply called Remote Desktop, is Microsoft’s implementation of remote desktop client and a Windows component allowing users to remotely log into a networked computer running the terminal services server as if it were accessed locally, with GUI and everything…(...)

| T-Mobile launches 2G data roaming in 100+ countries at no extra charge Posted: 10 Oct 2013 05:01 AM PDT
Adamant to change the way the world uses their phones, Deutsche Telekom-owned U.S. wireless carrier, T-Mobile USA, on Thursday announced that it will make available cellular data service in over a hundred countries around the world, at no extra charge. It’s no secret the industry’s been charging huge fees for data roaming. “What’s most surprising is that no one’s called them out,” T-Mobile’s boss remarked unapologetically. Indeed, the telco’s deal represents a significant departure from the exorbitant roaming fees wireless carriers typically impose and is a positive step toward providing global data coverage on fair and reasonable terms. The only drawback: only T-Mobile’s slow 2G data service is included in the promotion…(...)

| Best Buy to offer $100 for old phones towards purchase of iPhone 5s, 5c Posted: 10 Oct 2013 04:48 AM PDT
It appears that Best Buy is on the verge of launching another smartphone trade-in promotion next week. According to a new report, the retailer will begin offering a minimum of $100 for select older, working handsets. The catch here is that this trade-in money must be used to purchase a new iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c at the subsidized price—meaning you’ll have to sign a new two-year agreement with one of Best Buy’s carrier partners…(...)

In addition to unlimited texting and data here in the US, the provider is now offering free unlimited texting and 2G data in 100 major countries. “There's just so many pieces of data that suggest to us this is a huge issue and pain point,” says T-Mobile CEO John Legere. Legere notes that over 40% of customers turn off their phones while overseas in an effort to avoid high charges…(...)
