When Apple launched the iPhone 4 handset, we all marveled at its sleek lines and glass and metal construction. A whole 12 months down the line and we're still hard pushed to think of a better looking smartphone, and in a world which includes the likes of Samsung Galaxy S II, that's saying something.
The ChevronWP7 Windows Phone 7 unlocking team have announced a new, low cost way for developers to unlock devices in an attempt to remove one of the barriers to entry for independent devs.
Those who are planning to jailbreak their iPad 2's using Chronic Dev's GreenPois0n can be assured that a solution will be coming eventually, at least according a tweet posted by Joshua Hill, one of the developers that assured users that the team is still working on an iPad 2 jailbreak.
We talked about Real Racing 2 HD’s AirPlay-based wireless mirroring feature for iPad 2 on iOS 5 at great length a few days ago. Today, the folks over at Engadget got hold of the latest version of RR2HD and tested in on iPad 2 with iOS 5 Beta 1.
According to a forum thread on BetaArchive, a forum responsible for leaking Windows 8 builds in the past, there's a new Windows 8 build waiting to be leaked.

Last week, we showcased a method that allows anyone without an Apple developer account to run iOS 5 beta on iPhone, by bypassing Apple's activation wizard.

This has been tested on the iPod touch, although the tipper informed us it might work on the iPad just as well.
Few would argue that one of the Mac OS X's major user-facing elements is the Dock. Providing both a home for your most used applications as well as doubling as a way of seeing just which apps are running, the Dock is a bit like Windows' Start Menu on steroids.
Do you ever get tired of your desktop and login screen backgrounds? Ever wished you could display an ever-changing slideshow as your background, with wallpapers downloaded straight from the web in real time, based on a keywords you choose? Pulse let's you do just that.
If a new report from AppleInsider is to be believed, Apple is done planning the next-generation MacBook Air and is sitting on it until Lion, the next version of Mac OS X, is released. If you're planning to get this laptop, you should put it off for one more month.
A new Apple patent will put an end to recording events, at least on iOS devices, a move that will definitely make copyright holders happy. This technology will essentially stop the device's built-in camera from operating by censoring any pictures or video taken, partially or entirely.
