Over the last couple of weeks we have heard again and again that Apple is cutting iPhone 5c production. It has been rumored that there’s weak demand for the company’s “unapologetically plastic” iPhone, so Apple needs to cut down on production so that its doesn’t end up sitting on a huge pile of unsold iPhone 5c units. Verizon CFO recently said that the iPhone 5c had “undersold expectations,” though he added that the iPhone 5s is performing well. Reports of strong demand for iPhone 5s have been coming in as well, and it is now being reported that Apple is ramping up production of its fingerprint sensor touting smartphone.
The report comes from NPD DisplaySearch, which cites supply chain checks. Apparently Apple has cut iPhone 5c production by 35 percent whereas it has ramped up iPhone 5s production by a whopping 75 percent. The increase is said to be due to high demand. Apple hasn’t released any official sales figures after the opening weekend, so its not known for sure where demand stands for the iPhone 5c. The company is likely to get grilled about it during its call with analysts on October 28th, maybe we’ll learn more about the situation iPhone 5c is in then.

It was rumored a couple of days ago that Driveclub PS4 release is going to be delayed. This particular game has been tapped as a PS4 launch title, so there’s no doubt in the fact that many PS4 customers would have been waiting for it to drop come launch day. It was previously reported by two different sources that the release is going to be delayed, that Driveclub is possibly going to be pushed into 2014. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened. Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCE Worldwide Studios has confirmed in a blogpost that Driveclub PS4 release has now been delayed to early 2014.
This news comes nearly a week after it was confirmed that Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs has been delayed to spring 2014. Driveclub was to launch alongside the PlayStation 4 on November 15th, Sony said that this title would be the inaugural free title provided to PlayStation Plus subscribers through the Instant Game Collection program. Yoshida acknowledges that this delay is “disappointing news,” but assures gamers that when Driveclub launches next year, it will truly be the “next-gen racing vision.” He says that the extra time being taken means that the experience and visuals are going to be improved, he assures that “it will be worth the wait.”

When it comes to high quality portable speakers, there are many names out there in the market. The thing is, the selection process can be rather tricky – so why not pick one from Soundmatters? The name of the company itself is pretty self-descriptive, as Soundmatters was founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther. Recently, they announced that they will be shipping what is deemed to be the world’s slimmest, lightest high-fidelity Bluetooth Speaker, simply known as the DASH7.
The Soundmatters DASH7 happens to come in the form of an extremely flat 0.75” high wireless pocket-portable Bluetooth soundbar as well as speakerphone which will deliver huge omnidirectional sound despite coming in a thin size which will slide into the slimmest purse or jacket pocket. Is this the world’s best travel speaker? That remains to be seen, but frequent travelers who have given all sorts of different portable Bluetooth speakers a go in the past might want to check out the Soundmatters DASH7 and share their opinion on it.
Apart from that, the DASH7 will also feature a 5th generation twoofer and BassBattery for true hi-fi sound, where it is accompanied by an angled stand for direct on-axis high resolution music, which results in a great soundstage with the best stereo separation for serious music listeners. You will be able to pick it up in a choice of three colors – Vibrant Red, Arctic White, and Midnight Black.
The omnidirectional sound that it offers makes it ideal for watching movies or music videos, and it will also include a combo case and stand. The angled stand also offers even higher resolution on-axis listening, while there is a noise cancelling speakerphone that will allow you to answer incoming phone calls even while you are listening to music or movies. The asking price for the Soundmatters DASH7 stands at $249 a pop.

There’s a special place in most of our hearts for instant ramen. Whether you have no time, no money, or no will to live, Cup Noodles is a comforting Styrofoam haven in a cruel world. But it’s definitely associated with sterile corporate break rooms and bare-mattress-on-the-floor apartments more than pastel animations or farm to table. But this commercial tries to make you see Nissin Cup Noodles differently.

Earlier this week Microsoft finally started rolling out Windows 8.1, its much awaited update. Despite various builds being leaked over the last few months, there was quite a lot of anticipation and hype surrounding Microsoft’s latest Windows software update. Merely two days after making the update available, Microsoft has pulled the Windows RT 8.1 update from the Windows Store. The company says that the removal has taken place due to a “situation” it is currently investigating, though it says little about the aforementioned situation itself.
Microsoft says that it has temporarily removed Windows RT 8.1 for Windows Store because a “limited number of users” were affected by a situation when updating their Windows RT devices to the latest update. Microsoft says that it is working to take care of this situation “as quickly as possible.” It hasn’t provided a timeframe in which we can expect the update to become available again. There were scattered complaints online about it being difficult to update a Windows RT device to Windows RT 8.1. Some users found it difficult to location and get the update process rolling on their devices. As it stands right now, users with a Windows RT device have to make do with their existing software version, hopefully Microsoft will get things back on track soon so that all of them can get on the Windows RT 8.1 bandwagon soon.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Sunday opened the door to Social Security cuts as part of a budget deal with congressional Republicans. But Durbin pushed back against GOP calls for entitlement cuts as the negotiating price to curb or extinguish the economically damaging sequester cuts.
“If this is the bargain that the Republicans are now pushing for, that we have to cut Medicare to avoid cuts at the Department of Defense, they need to take a step back,” Durbin said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Congress is currently negotiating a new budget, with a December deadline. The talks were mandated by last week’s deal to raise the debt ceiling and end the government shutdown.

Kate Beckinsale attended the 2013 Pink Party presented by Elyse Walker last night (Oct. 19) with her daughter Lily Sheen and husband Len Wiseman.
Lily, who is Beckinsale’s only child with ex Michael Sheen, looked all grown up in a strapless patterned dress as she posed alongside her famous mom, who donned a red Donna Karan frock.
The 14-year-old was all smiles while walking the red carpet with Beckinsale, who turned 40 in July. (Can you believe that?)
