| Apple to host satellite stream of October 22 event in London Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:30 PM PDT
Earlier today, Apple sent out invitations to an October 22 media event saying “we still have a lot to cover.” It’s believed it will focus on the new iPad and iPad mini, but new MacBooks and OS X Mavericks are also expected to get stage time. The event itself will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. But according to a new report, Apple plans to stream the keynote to a separate London satellite event to cater to media members not located in the US…(...)

| iPad event wallpapers: we still have a lot to cover Posted: 15 Oct 2013 05:55 PM PDT
All Apple fans are now keenly aware, the October 22 event was announced earlier today. With the rumor mill in full spin, it is assumed the event will announce iPad 5 with an updated iPad mini-like form factor. In addition, there is a possibility of a retina iPad mini and both iPad versions are assumedly coming in silver, space grey, and lustful gold. Other new items may include Mac Pro release information, OS X Mavericks, and even an upgrade to Apple TV is a possibility. Further possibilities are Touch ID for iPad, which would tag along with the A7 processor. Titled “we still have a lot to cover,” there may be a couple new “covers,” such as updated and streamlined cases or Smart Covers to match the new slick iPad 5 form factor. No matter what the event brings next Tuesday, we are all excited by the possibilities. To help celebrate the upcoming event, there is a compilation of event inspired wallpapers just past the fold…(...)

| Apple to devs: send us your Mavericks apps Posted: 15 Oct 2013 04:43 PM PDT
Apple has begun sending email notices asking its registered Mac developers to submit their OS X Mavericks-optimized apps. The timing of the communique is especially eyebrow-raising given the October 22 media event invites went out today as “we still have a lot to cover”. Jumping ahead of oneself, one might conclude this signals an imminent Mavericks release. In reality, it’d clearly make more sense to release Mavericks alongside the refreshed Mac notebooks. For what it’s worth, a source that stepped forward this morning has pinpointed an October 24 or 25 release date for the upcoming Haswell-based MacBook Pros…(...)

| Apple asks Launch Center Pro dev to remove undocumented APIs Posted: 15 Oct 2013 04:26 PM PDT
It’s funny because it seems like every time we mention the app ‘Launch Center Pro’—it received a big 2.0 update last week—and what it does, people ask: “how is it able to do a lot of what it does without infringing on Apple’s guidelines?” Well as it turns out, it can’t. According to Contrast developer David Barnard, Apple called the team to let them know that Launch Center Pro is using "undocumented APIs" and that it needs to remove certain Apple app URLs…(...)

| Nike+ Running iOS app gets photo sharing and auto-pause Posted: 15 Oct 2013 03:50 PM PDT
Nike’s popular fitness and running app for the iPhone, named Nike+ Running, has received an interesting little update bringing with it the ability to take and share photos before, during or after your workouts so your friends can keep you going with likes and cheers. For those wondering what’s the big deal with photo sharing, let me just spell it out: seamless implementation. Having been a user for quite some time, I’ve always hated having to pause my run manually in order to, say, catch a quick break or answer an important phone call. Not anymore – the new Nike+ Running version 4.4 is clever enough to automatically pause and resume when it detects I stopped running or resumed my workout. More tidbits follow…(...)

| New YouTube update lets you select video quality while on Wi-Fi Posted: 15 Oct 2013 03:33 PM PDT
Hot on the heels of its update to Maps, Google has rolled out a new update to YouTube which brings a much needed video quality option to the table. The setting, which is only applicable while connected to Wi-Fi networks, is ushered in along with the obligatory “compatibility” and “accessibility” improvements. This latest update brings the YouTube version number up to 2.2.0. The download is available on the App Store right now, and rings in at cellular network friendly 12.5 MB.(...)

Nike held a big, athlete-filled media event in New York City this morning to announce its long-awaited second generation FuelBand fitness device: the Nike+ FuelBand SE. The new Band looks virtually identical to its predecessor, except for the addition of some new color accents, but on the inside there has been a number of improvements…(...)

After adding Waze incident reports to the mobile Google Maps app on the iPhone and iPad, the search Goliath today issued a minor update adding a few new features which expand on the application’s capabilities. In addition to some housekeeping and a pair of new Middle East languages, Google Maps has brought out improvements to navigation that will help plan your next trip or make real-time decisions based on traffic conditions, especially when you're driving…(...)

| Valve shows off Steam Controller with popular Mac games Posted: 15 Oct 2013 10:53 AM PDT
Valve caused quite a stir claiming its upcoming Steam Controller was designed to work without a hiccup with all the games on Steam, including the older titles in the catalog and the ones that were not built with controller support in mind. To prove its point, the company has released a nice video demonstrating Steam Controller with a number of popular Mac games sold on Steam, such as Portal, Counterstrike and Team Fortress.

| Final Fantasy VII iOS release could be ‘years away,’ says Square Enix Posted: 15 Oct 2013 10:29 AM PDT
Square Enix director Takashi Tokita recently confirmed to the gaming blog Kotaku that Final Fantasy VI will be hitting iOS and Android this winter. Though the exec dropped hints about Final Fantasy VII being considered for mobile, he was quick to stress that no definite decision has been reached yet. It seems now that a mobile Final Fantasy VII edition may be “years away” due to space limitations. I have the full story right after the break…(...)

In a surprising late-night press release, Apple said it’s finally found its new retail chief. In case you missed it, soon-to-be-former CEO of clothing retailer Burberry will be joining the iPhone maker as its new SVP of Retail, responsible for both Apple’s online and offline stores and retail operations across the world. Today, CEO Tim Cook issued a memo to Apple employees explaining why Angela – after John Browett’s much maligned and short stint as Ron Johnson’s replacement – is “the best person in the world for this role”…(...)

| Apple sends out invites for October 22 iPad event: ‘we still have a lot to cover’ Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:02 AM PDT
The Wall Street Journal-owned technology blog, AllThingsD, reported last week that Apple’s next media event will take place on October 22, that’s next Tuesday. Sure enough, the company just sent out invites for the October 22 event to select members of the press. The invitation-only press conference will be held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco and will begin at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT, John Paczkowski of AllThingsD first reported and The Loop's Jim Dalrymple subsequently confirmed.

| How to gain enhanced Spotify control with a jailbroken iPhone Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:56 AM PDT
How does adding Spotify support to Activator sound? If that sounds like the proverbial music to your ears, then you need to take a look at Controls for Spotify. This is a new tweak that brings enhanced control to Spotify by means of simple Activator gestures. It’s a bit limited in its scope right now, but Controls for Spotify is a tweak that shows potential.

| Sparrow gets iOS 7 style icon, but no UI refresh Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT
Sparrow, the Google-owned email client for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, has seen very little changes in the features department since the Internet giant acquired the startup in the summer of 2012. Matter of fact, the search monster has passed on the opportunity to update Sparrow following the September 18 iOS 7 launch with the new visual appearance. That said, today’s minor refresh leaves a lot to be desired. Aside from the redesigned flat app icon, Sparrow version 1.3.5 contains no new features and it still has the same old user interface that doesn’t take advantage of the new iOS 7 visual appearance…(...)

| New tweak promises per-app screen brightness control Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:21 AM PDT
Dandelion is a new jailbreak tweak available on the BigBoss repo, which promises to bring automatically adjusting brightness to your device on a per-app basis. This means that in theory, you should be able to configure your brightness to a specific level while in app, and have the brightness always adjust to that set level when the app is launched. Unfortunately, in my experience with the tweak, the results weren’t quite that simple.(...) "New tweak promises per-app screen brightness control" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Angry Birds Go! arriving December 11, here’s new gameplay video Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:11 AM PDT
Angry Birds maker back in June teased its upcoming Angry Birds-themed kart racing game. Named Angry Birds Go, the game will be set on a 3D Piggy Island and include tons of characters with unique special powers and a fully rendered 3D world. Then in August, the Finnish developer released more information, revealing the title will be a tie in with energy drinks maker Red Bull. On Tuesday, Rovio gave us a release date and published a gameplay video which shows off game mechanics while revealing a bunch of bird and pig characters from the Angry Birds series.

| Speculation mounts over availability dates for new iPads, MacBook Pros and Mac Pro Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:55 AM PDT
Apple has kicked off its blockbuster Fall with September’s double iPhone launch and followed-up by updating the iMac family with Intel’s fourth-generation Haswell chips, 8GB of RAM standard across all models, faster graphics and ultra-fast PCIe flash storage and other goodies. Now, our attention has already turned to other products in Apple’s 2013 pipeline. AllThingsD last week claimed Apple will hold an iPad media event on October 22 and today a pretty reliable French blog has published availability dates for the upcoming new iPads, as well as updated MacBook Pro notebooks and the next-generation Mac Pro…(...)

| SnapHack for iPhone lets anyone save your incriminating Snapchats permanently Posted: 15 Oct 2013 05:23 AM PDT
Your online privacy is an elastic concept. No, I’m not referring to the NSA eavesdropping on your online communications or breaking into your iPhone or harvesting your online address books. Let’s talk about Snapchat for a minute. A quick backgrounder for the uninitiated: developed by Stanford University students, Snapchat is a handy photo messaging application that exploded in popularity soon after people realized they can send their photos to a controlled list of recipients and set a time limit for how long they can view them. After the cut-off time, the snaps are automatically deleted from both the recipient’s device and Snapchat’s servers. As a bonus, Snapchat features a built-in mechanism that informs the other side when you screenshot their snaps. Now, you can imagine why Snapchat blew up in no time as some folks predominantly use the application to expose their body parts and share their candid shots. A new iPhone app called SnapHack changes all that by bypassing Snapchat’s screenshot notifications and pulling unopened content from Snapchat’s servers. Plus, the company behind Snapchat yesterday detailed law enforcement requests. Jump past the fold for the full breakdown…(...)
