OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion may be in the hands of developers, but there is another group of people that get software releases often even before those with paid developer accounts.

Given its position as the most widely-used mobile software within the smartphone market, it’s only natural that Android yields a significant amount of blog space, but while the tech community offers much praise for Google’s OS, Android also generates its fair share of negative press – notably with regards to outbreaks of malware.



Being an iOS device owner is somewhat a bitter experience. On one hand, you have Apple’s design and the manufacturer’s cutting-edge premium products which no-one seems to have matched in terms of aesthetics and usability. And on the other hand, the iOS software that powers the device, which has some glaring inadequacies that I just can’t seem to fathom why Apple hasn’t resolved them.



Flash games are a great way to kill time, and social network Facebook – along with various dedicated sites – offer thousands upon thousands of them. From Disc Pool to Words With Friends, if you’re feeling like procrastinating, said sites are more than accommodating.



Whether you love or loathe Google’s Android mobile operating system, its meteoric rise to become the most widely-used of the big ecosystems in just a couple of years is something which must be applauded.

The fourth installment to the series is greatly-anticipated, and it has been revealed today by Microsoft that Halo 4 will offer a sleuth of multiplayer options, including a weekly “Spartan Ops” episodic series.



One of the most important concept that exists within any mobile computing environment is the design of the user-facing interface. With mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets having limited screen real estate, it is vitally important that the operating system and any installed apps present all necessary information to the user in the most efficient and attractive manner possible.



The official iOS App Store is awash with all singing and dancing Twitter apps which allow members to interact with all aspects of the micro-blogging service. Regardless of whether it is the official Twitter app, or a third-party creation such as TweetBot or Echofon, that is your preference. Sometimes, something a little bit faster and lightweight is required.



There has been a lot of internet chatter over the last week or so about Ashton Kutcher transforming himself to look like Apple founder Steve Jobs for the upcoming Jobs movie. The movie itself will more than likely end up being a cult hit, mainly because of the coverage it has received, but also because of the popularity of Jobs himself. It seems Kutcher will most definitely play a convincing role, but he may not be the only actor to play Steve Jobs on the big screen.



With Apple looking likely to follow the launch pattern they set in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, users can expect to see an announcement and launch of the sixth-generation iPhone around October time.

Ever since the release of iOS 5 alongside the iPhone 4S, Apple has been struggling to bring the battery life up to par. At first the belief was that perhaps the issue was hardware related, rather than the software that it shipped with. Soon though, it was clear that owners of the iPhone 4 and other hardware were also suffering from less than stellar battery life. Problems indeed.

Having built up the anticipation among its army of fans over the past few weeks, Diablo III has gone live, and can be downloaded right now from your Blizzard account.

Google’s Chrome browser has been updated to version 19, and apart from an array of bug fixes and performance enhancements, the Big G’s iconic browser will also be offering integrated tab-syncing.

Although it is highly likely that it will take another five months or so until Apple decides to introduce the world to their sixth-generation iPhone, the company thankfully never leaves technology fans waiting too long before it gives us something to get excited about. Apple has only recently pushed out iOS 5.1.1 to the public, but with their annual Worldwide Developer Conference looming, recent findings are adding to the speculation that we will see iOS 6 introduced at the event in San Francisco.

That is the exact same thing which has recently happened in Cydia with the release of the SwipeShiftCaret tweak as well as the SwipeSelection offering.
