And sometimes, you just hate so much when you launch an application by mistake and then have to waste your time to close it and relaunch another one. One application that you might find this ...

The Android platform and the iOS platform have always been a topic of heated discussion in most cases. Whatever your personal views may be, it is important to note that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so agreeing to disagree is usually the best bet here.

Siri can now find users the best deal on anything sold in Best Buy. Wait, people still shop at Best Buy?

No this isn’t some marketing ploy by Best Buy to delay their inevitable demise. Rather, it is a result of Wolfram Alpha’s clever use of Best Buy’s public APIs. Siri uses Wolfram to search for answers to certain questions users ask the digital assistant. Wolfram is using the previously mentioned ...

Barbara Walters, who pulled a hilarious “what?" while interviewing Herman Cain during her "most fascinating people" segment, ultimately named Steve Jobs her “most fascinating person of 2011.”

Walter’s list of “most fascinating people of 2011” pits Jobs in the same company as Simon Cowell, the Kardashians, Donald Trump, and a bunch of “fascinating” but, ultimately irrelevant people. Walters, to her ...

iPhone 4S users have been complaining about SIM card problems.

Have you ever used Password Pilot?

Password Pilot is a jailbreak tweak that was released by Filippo Bigarella back in the iOS 4 days. It has been a handy tool for me and probably to a lot of other people as well. To me, this is probably one of the must-haves for a jailbroken iDevice. Password Pilot is free on the BigBoss repository and there are no strings attached. It does exactly what it says; no more, no less.



Password Pilot basically lets you ...

The folks over at Android and Me have reportedly come across some details regarding a project named “Majel.” The project is apparently Google’s voice control project that sounds very similar to Apple’s Siri.
