Earlier this week, Sony pushed out an update to its PlayStation 3 console that ended up causing problems for a handful of users, reporting that their system was essentially bricked and couldn’t be played on. Sony quickly and embarrassingly yanked the update before it caused more trouble, and they just reported today that they’re pushing
The Lytro miniature camera just received a fairly significant update today. The company just outed an accompanying iOS app that allows you to share the photos taken on a Lytro with your iOS device. From there, you can do all sorts of stuff that iOS will allow you to do, such as upload it to
Up until now, Feedly was merely just an extension of Google Reader, rather than a dedicated web app. However, with the introduction of Feedly Cloud, the service is now completely standalone, and users will be able to easily merge their Google Reader data to Feedly and completely forget about Google Reader while they’re at it.
Google announced a huge update for its Street View feature in Google Maps. Over a thousand new locations around the world are getting Street View imagery for the first time, including parts of Asia, Europe, Latin America, Canada, and the US. Singapore, specifically was given a fairly large addition, allowing users to explore more of

It’s not too often that we see an Android app that comes with a native tablet user interface. iOS has usually led in the category, but more and more Android apps are starting to get in on the tablet fun with their own unique tablet layouts. Foursquare is the latest to join, with a new
Facebook Home and the regular Facebook Android app both received updates today that should prove useful to users. The normal Android app is getting some improved sharing features, including the ability to easily change who can see a status update or photo that you’ve shared by choosing either Public, Friends, Only me, or Custom. As
Two weeks ago, Evernote launched reminders on iOS, OS X, and the web, embarrassingly leaving out Android. However, the company has finally brought these handy reminders to Google’s platform, allowing users to set deadlines on certain tasks and to-dos. Furthermore, any reminders you set on Android will sync across all other platforms. The reminders in
Dropbox‘s latest experimental build brings some nifty features to the cloud storage service. Users will be able to easily share screenshots, import photos using iPhoto on OS X, the ability to send outside files straight to Dropbox, and faster upload speed for files. This merely just an experimental build, so some of these features may
It’s been a little while since Google Drive‘s iOS app has been updated, but the search giant sent out an update today that is rather minor from the face of it, but can make a big difference as far as navigating and collaborating are concerned. The app now includes support for comments, as well as the ability to swipe through images.
The new commenting feature makes it easier to collaborate on documents (since that’s what Google Docs is good at in the first place). Commenting in documents allows you to give feedback to other users, and the iOS app finally supports that, letting you either create, view, reply, or resolve comments in Google Docs files.
To create a comment, it’s rather simple. Just tap, hold, and release near the point where you want to leave a comment, you’ll then get the option to comment where you tapped, or select a portion of text to comment on. You then enter in your comment and hit save. The changes will upload immediately, and other users will be able to see comments right after they’re published.
As for image swiping, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Users will now be able to swipe through a group of photos just like most other apps have been able to do for a while, and you’re also shown the number of photos that you have to swipe through, as well which photo you’re on in the group.
Before hand, the Google Drive app didn’t allow for any kind of image swiping, so if you wanted to show someone a batch of photos, you had to exit each photo and tap on the next one. It was extremely cumbersome and left many heads scratching as to how Google didn’t include image swiping in the first place. At last, though, you’ll now be able to show your friends and family those vacation pics more quickly than ever before.
