Yes, we humans might be alone in this universe after all, but when it comes to something as huge as a new mobile operating system version download or update, and from Apple at that, then it is widely expected for everything to run hunky dory. After all, you purchased an iPhone simply because you wanted it to “work”, right, without having to tinker with stuff or to be frustrated by it all. Well, sad to say things do not always go as planned, as the iOS 7 launch has stumbled right out of the gates.
I wonder whether Apple underestimated the number of people who decided to make the upgrade jump when they released the iOS 7 update earlier this morning at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Its activation servers were swamped by all the pressure of all the downloads, and other folks could not even start the installation process without being greeted by an error message. Apple has since issued a high-priority internal notice to its support staff, especially after a sizable number of folks could not their iPhones after the iOS 7 installation process was complete as the servers failed to respond. Hopefully Apple will be able to get their act sorted out before this Friday’s iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c rollout.

Before the much anticipated Sony PS4 is released, there has already been plenty of buzz surrounding this next generation console. In fact, we just brought you word that Sony has plans to sell a 
CyanogenMod is currently on the move to raise venture capital funding, and according to CyanogenMod’s new CEO and co-founder, they have big plans for the company, with the aim to become the No. 3 in the mobile OS arena. That is certainly quite an achievement if they were to actually hit their target, considering how they would have to bypass the likes of BlackBerry OS and of course, the current third place mobile OS, Windows Phone from Microsoft. As Cyanogen’s first new product as a company, it will come in the form of a CyanogenMod installer app.
Yahoo has just introduced a new iOS app update that will bring with it a bunch of new features, and among them would include animated cinemagraphs. Specially designed for iOS 7, this new updated app from Yahoo will be available for the iPhone and iPod touch, with no immediate mention as to whether the iPad version would be on the receiving end of an updated version. Fernando Delgado, Yahoo’s senior director of product management for mobile and emerging products, claimed that the update app will create “an even better experience for discovering and reading content whether in the moment or saving for later.”
Just how do you measure the success of a company? That question can be a tricky or difficult one to answer, especially when you take into consideration the number of criteria that one could figure out. Well, when it comes to gaming and hardware companies, numbers do not lie. Sony, a consumer electronics giant in their own right, has just announced over at its Tokyo Game Show keynote that it has set an ambition to sell a whopping five million PlayStation 4 consoles before the end of the fiscal year.
When it comes to the world of advertisements, there are some lines that you just do not cross, although at times, some of the more “creative” minds out there tend to blur the lines. Facebook, one of the world’s big names when it comes to social networks, recently issued an apology after they realized that a dating company actually made use of images of a girl who ended her life after allegedly being raped. Not only that, to make a stand so that nothing of this sort will happen in the future, the offending company has also been banned by Facebook.
There is this particular saying, keep your friends close, and your enemies, closer. I suppose that makes sense since it would bode you well to know just what the heck is your nemesis up to. However, the folks over at Staples as well as RadioShack decided otherwise – and with good sense, too, to remove all Amazon Lockers that are currently placed in their stores.
