A mere couple of days after the latest version of Google+ arrived for Android, iOS users are finally getting a taste of it courtesy of today’s version 4.5 release. The latest update brings a number of notable features, one of which is integration with Google Drive, which lets G+ fans view, edit and share images via the cloud service. Like the Android version of the app, Hangouts has replaced the Messenger function for messaging and calls, and you can now start a Hangout with someone directly from the person’s profile page. Domain-related features for Apps for Business users are also supported. Those itching to find out what else is new can go ahead and download it from the App Store link below.

In the array of photos of the iPhone 5S that’ve we’ve seen over the past few weeks, one set of “Champagne” or otherwise gold-colored parts have appeared: today we can make that two. What’s appearing to be a set of gold iPhone 5S parts have arrived at Mac Boutique where they’ve suggested the device to […]
It’s time for the folks that brought you the powerhouse real-car racing game Project Gotham to make 2K Drive to the mobile universe. This title was announced this week by the team at 2K Games, responsible for the sports lineup of titles acting as subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, responsible also for top-tier first-person action games […]
Tired of Apple offering iPhones solely in black or white? If photos obtained by MacBoutic are accurate, you’ll get some variety soon… and some bling, for that matter. The repair shop’s images reportedly show an iPhone 5S shell in a simulated gold color, supporting recent spec predictions from KGI analyst (and frequent AppleInsider tipster) Ming-Chi Kuo. While it’s difficult to verify the snapshots when MacBoutic has erased all logos, this doesn’t look like an aftermarket project; the hue extends to normally inaccessible parts of the phone, for example. As a result, we won’t be surprised if we see a flashy gold iPhone at Apple’s rumored September 10th event.

We’ve heard you, and we agree — our iPhone app has needed a re-envisioning, and we’re thrilled to announce that the fruits of a lot of behind-the-scenes labor can now be seen in the App Store. Engadget’s iPhone app has been completely rebuilt from the ground-up, with an all-new design taking center stage. Behind the new visuals, you’ll find plenty of new functionality. Here’s a quick breakdown on what’s new and what has changed:
Our devs are also working hard right now to implement additional features (yes, beyond just tweaks and fixes) later this year. As for our loyal readers that rely on Android and Windows Phone, be assured that we’re overhauling those builds as well in order to elevate our entire stable to a new standard. Our hope is to have those platforms served with a redesigned app before the year’s end. Give it a download right here, and be sure to submit any issues to our support staff within the app itself (pull up the right rail -> Send Feedback). We’ll be poring over each submission in a bid to make things even better as we go. Thanks for reading, and enjoy! %Gallery-slideshow61513%

There are alarm clocks that wake you gently, and there are others that torture you to get you out of bed. The Carrot Alarm iOS app on the other hand will make you wake up so you can hang out with a GLaDOS clone. How GLaDOS-y is Carrot? She says she kills a kitten everytime you hit the snooze button. I’m not kidding. I hope she is.
Carrot’s clock is easy to use. It’s the alarm part that makes her special. And by special I mean evil. After greeting you with her cold voice, she’ll make you play a minigame before she turns the alarm off. But she has a good side too. As you use Carrot, you earn points that unlock additional sound bites and music.
Carrot is lurking at the iTunes App Store. Pay $0.99 (USD) to let her invade your life.

The Syfy for iPhone app is relaunching as SyFy Now, while the old Syfy app for iPad is reborn as Syfy Sync, dedicated solely to the network’s second screen ambitions. Why the changes? Now is all about TV Everywhere with streaming of full episodes of Syfy’s original series the day after they air and bookmarks that sync across devices with iCloud. This app can’t put Alphas back on the air, but it can bring Defiance, Robot Combat League and Being Human to wherever you are, assuming you have a compatible TV provider. At launch, customers with Armstrong, AT&T U-Verse, Cablevision’s Optimum TV service, Charter, Comcast’s Xfinity TV, DISH, Mediacom, Suddenlink, Verizon FiOS, and Wide Open West (WOW) are ready to go, and others are coming soon.
Don’t have authentication? The show clips and behind the scenes video previously featured in the app are still available. Syfy’s app for Android isn’t updated yet (and still isn’t ready for the new Nexus 7) but the press release promises Now will launch there in September — hopefully the network can figure out how to include TV movies like Sharknado 2 in the package by then.
