Tis a happy day for Glass owners, who can now grab the official Play Music app for their Google wearable. The announcement was made by Google’s Stephen Lau on Google+, where he dropped a quick and humor-infused note informing Explorers of the update. The Music app can be grabbed from the MyGlass page, but those […]
You might not be able to write for a living for one reason or another, even if you wanted to, but that doesn’t mean you should stop writing. Let off some steam, talk about your dreams, share funny anecdotes – there are so many things you can do with words.
They don’t have to be extremely long. In fact, there’s an app that lets you write short blurbs and share them with friends and random people when you’re done with them. That app is called Spine.
It’s a neat little app that lets aspiring writers publish five-sentence stories. You can basically consider Spine as a social network for micro-stories where authors and readers can connect and share stories with one another.
Users can post and browse stories in nine different categories, which includes literary staples like action, horror, sci-fi, and mystery.
Users can rate stories and share the ones they love to others on their networks. In short, it’s a community of writers and readers doing something they love: reading and writing.
Spine is available free for iOS devices and can be downloaded here.

Spotify listeners with iPads no longer have to look on with envy as their Android- and iPhone-touting friends browse curated playlists with ease. An update to Spotify’s iOS app has introduced the Browse feature to Apple tablet owners, letting them quickly pick tunes that suit their mood. They can also follow artists and friends without having to turn on their PC, and there’s both a smarter search engine as well as an improved look for playlists. There aren’t many upgrades for iPhone users, although the company promises that the follow, search and playlist refinements will “soon” reach smaller iOS devices. In the meantime, iPad fans can grab the improved app from the source link.

This past July, Kim Dotcom’s Megaupload replacement, Mega, launched its Android app for those who prefer to keep their cloud-based activities mobile. At the time, it was promised an iPhone would be arriving in the future, and though nearly half a year has passed, an iOS offering has finally arrived. There’s still no sign of […]

There are lots of reasons that people might need to take hand written notes. You might need to record minutes for a meeting at the office, or perhaps you need to take study notes for a class at school. One of the best ways to take those handwritten notes if you also use mobile devices […]
Ever want to test a Chrome Web Store app without installing it? You may get your chance if a new Chromium feature find its way into Google’s commercial browser. Mountain View is experimenting with support for “ephemeral” apps that launch like regular Web Store titles, but don’t leave a footprint in Chrome or Chrome OS. Users wouldn’t even have to visit the Web Store in the first place — a recent Chromium build lets surfers launch an app directly from a Google search result page. There’s no certainty that the new try before you buy (or at least, try before you glorified bookmark) capability will actually land in Chrome’s stable channel, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise us.

Paramount Digital Entertainment has launched the classiest mobile game ever conceived. The game is called Anchorman 2: Scotchy Scotch Toss and it’s the “greatest app n the history of western civilization.” The point of the game is to toss ice cubes into Ron’s glass of scotch.
The game has over 300 one-liners recorded by Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy. You can play against the computer (Ron) or play against friends. The game has four locations that are from the new film, including Ron’s RV, the Channel 4 News desk, Tino’s Jazz Bar and Ron’s apartment.
The game is available for iOS users for 99 cents on the App Store, and an Android version is coming soon.
“This game combines my two favorite things, scotch and playful exchanges with total strangers,” said Ron Burgundy.
Now that Kim Dotcom’s cloud storage service Mega is available to the public, it’s finally found time to launch the iOS app it’s been promising. The new app includes many of the same features as its Android counterpart, which has been available on Android for more than four months, including file previews and easy sharing. It currently lacks automatic camera syncing but that will come, along with iPad support, in a future update. What’s next for Mega? It’s on course to launch its Sync tool for Windows, Mac and Linux in the coming weeks, giving it time to concentrate on adding new security and messaging features to the cloud service in the new year.

It took a while, but Virgin Media has finally brought its TV Anywhere service to Android. Already available on the iPhone and iPad for more than a year, the app comes to Android smartphones and tablets with nine new UK TV channels including Alibi, Dave, Drama, Good Food, Home, Really, Watch, Yesterday and CBS Reality. That takes the total number of mobile channels up to 67, with up to 90 available online. Virgin Media boasts it now offers more choice than rival service Sky Go, but like it’s competitor, some might be frustrated by the patchy support for Android devices. Although you’ll find support for Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note, HTC One, Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Google’s Nexus tablets, you might experience issues if your device is running Android 4.4 KitKat. While you won’t be able to install it on your Nexus 5 just yet, Virgin says more Android devices will join the line-up “in the very near future.”
