Block Unwanted Calls And Send Out Automated SMS Replies From Your Android Device

Considering the ease in which data can be obtained and shared, it’s not particularly hard to gather a person’s contact details for purpose of spam, harassment, or cold calls.
Neither Android nor iOS – the world’s two most popular mobile device platform– offer much in terms of features for blocking or filtering prank, ad, or just generally unwanted correspondence. If someone (or some bot) is continually barraging your inbox or call log, there’s not really that much you can do, short of contacting your carrier and setting up a block remotely.

This Is What The Inside Of Apple’s Cupertino Headquarters Looks Like [PHOTOS]

Although Apple’s main home in Cupertino, California is well-documented throughout the blogosphere and greater tech spectrum, little is actually known about what it looks like on the inside. Apple is renowned for producing aesthetically-pleasing products, yet we’re always equally interested on what’s going on internally, and for all its coverage, the lack of knowledge regarding internal affairs of the Cupertino palace render it a pretty mysterious place.

In the last week or so, we have seen a number of developers release their work onto the Cydia store that exists to offer an alternative implementation of Apple’s native multitasking experience. A standard installation of iOS allows a user to double tap the Home button to invoke a switcher tray along the bottom of the screen which holds the icons of the currently backgrounded apps.

Soon To Be Debuted OS X “HackStore” Aims To Bring A Curated Cydia Experience To The Mac

Remember those mummering about the possibility of the Mac getting a Cydia-like store? Well, considering the amount of time that has passed with no further updates about the legitimacy of the project, it would seem that we can put that idea in the ‘nice but isn’t likely to happen’ pile. With that said, all hope should not be lost, especially if the release of the OS X HackStore in the next few months turns out to be a reality.

Windows 8, Metro and Nokia Lumia 800

 So what’s new and cool in Windows 8?

Metro style UI

Already present in Windows Phone 7 and XBox, the Metro UI design is now also available in the new version of Windows. So your apps that you build for Windows 8 computers will have a similar look as Windows Phone devices. On Windows Phone the Metro look has been well received as rivaling the user experience on iOS and for sure surpassing Android’s. Now the first major change in user interface is available for all devices, computers, tablets and phones. Having a consistent user experience across all devices we use nowadays is a major plus. Microsoft is taking this further than Apple, where Mac OS X is only slowly moving into the direction of iOS.

Windows 8 primed to win tablet war — at least in languages

When it comes to tablets, Apple is far and away the leader.

But later this year Microsoft is expected to unveil its Windows 8 tablet and, in doing so, will quickly take the lead.

In languages, that is.

That’s right. Microsoft recently announced that Windows 8 will support a whopping 105 languages (and I’m assuming this includes the new Metro interface).

This is impressive, particularly when you compare it against Apple iOS, which supports a paltry 34 languages. (Android 4.0 is at 57 languages.)

Swiftkey 3 Beta Launched With Smart Space Technology

Google’s Android OS for mobile devices offers a ridiculous amount of variety when it comes to alternatives to pre-included software. Whether it’s replacing the stock launcher, the music app,camera app, dialer, browser and keyboard, it’s basically impossible to not find a third-party alternative that doesn’t completely fit your needs.
When it comes to keyboards, there are about a dozen different ones available. From innovative ones like SlideKey and Swype to traditional ones like the ICS Keyboard, AI Type and Go Keyboard; there’s something for everyone.
Now, TouchType’s SwiftKey is one of the most popular keyboards on the Google Play Store, and for good reason: it offers arguably the most smooth typing experience with outstanding auto-correct and prediction technology that adjusts itself according to your typing style.
TouchType recently released a Beta version of SwiftKey 3 and we go hands-on in this post. Check it out after the jump

Next iPhone Coming In June According To Foxconn Recruiter

A recruiter for Foxconn – Apple’s primary iPhone, iPad and iPod touch manufacturer – has been recorded on a Japanese-language TV program stating the Cupertino-based company will release its next-gen iPhone as early as June.

The World Business Satellite showed aired footage on Monday of the recruiter for the plant in Taiyuan, who said Foxconn is "looking for 18,000 employees…for the fifth-generation phone."When asked if the high number was due to high demand for the iPhone 5, he responded,"That’s right. It will come out in June."

Official Plex App for Windows Phone Ready To Stream Content Wirelessly To The Masses

If you’re the kind of person who likes to stream media around the home then the chances are you’ve come across Plex at least, even if you don’t currently use it. If you want to stream it to your Windows Phone smartphone, too, then Plex is going to be something you’ll want to check out again.
Available to download for free from the Windows Phone Marketplace right now, the Plex app will allow users to stream video across a network, right from a Mac, PC or Linux computer running the free Plex server software. Plex is one of the most used and most loved method of taking media – be that video, images or music – and streaming it to a device such as another computer, set-top box or smartphone. Now, Windows Phone has also joined in with the fun.

Microsoft Launches Bing Desktop Beta, Brings Search To Your Windows 7 Desktop – Download Now

Microsoft has today released a new piece of beta software, and this time it’s search-based. Called the Bing Desktop Beta, the software is, predictably, a beta release of a desktop-based search tool that Microsoft is hoping will give people a reason to make the switch to its search engine, and leave Google behind once and for all.
The app itself is something of an oddity. For starters, it doesn’t really do a great deal other than offer two features, both arguably a little on the boring side and one definitely a tad on the pointless side. Think we’re being harsh? Then read on!

Set Video Ringtones On Your iPhone With VUZIQ For iOS

What could be better than taking your iPhone out of your pocket and seeing that one of your loved ones (or friends) is calling you for a friendly chat? Well, instead of seeing just their name and boring static picture showing up when the call comes through, how about making the whole incoming call process more fun and engaging by adding a song and a music video from your favorite artist or band?
That is exactly what the new VUZIQ app does that has just landed on the Cydia store. When this free of charge package is installed upon a jailbroken iPhone, users can search for and download music videos of their choice and set them to play when an incoming call is received. VUZIQ makes use of both the audio and video of the downloaded and selected file, meaning that the ringtone of the handset is altered to suit the video audio.

Shake ‘n Rotate For Android Lets You Enable/Disable Auto-Rotate With Shake

Landscape/portrait orientation in smartphones is, as far as I know, based on the device’s orientation with respect to the Earth instead of with respect to the user. In certain cases, this can become a bit of a problem.
I use my smartphone when I’m about to sleep / about to wake-up and, in this case, the device thinks that it’s being used in landscape orientation but it really isn’t. In other cases, I’ve found that the built-in sensor is far too sensitive so that it switches between landscape/portrait orientation when it shouldn’t.

CallTrack For Android Lets You Effortlessly Sync Incoming, Outgoing And Missed Calls To Google Calendar

Success lies in having the right knowledge at the right time at the right place. The aforementioned saying isn’t actually directly linked with the app I’m covering in this post, but since it sounded nice, I thought to include it anyway so deal with it.
Anyhow, those of you who like to take lots of backups of sensitive personal information such as text messages, emails, contacts and, particularly, call logs with the intention that they may come handy later on if you want to prove/verify something will really appreciate CallTrack. Check it out after the jump.

Google’s Project Glass Is The Future Of Augmented Reality And Connectivity [VIDEO]

In what can only be described as a geek’s ultimate dream, members of the extensive Google team have teased what it describes as Project Glass – offering a futuristic take on productivity.
Let’s face it, with a smartphone in our pockets, we’re never going to struggle to keep in touch with family, friends, work colleagues and associates. That said, if we could slip on a pair of glasses offering voice activation and line of sight icons helping us run our daily digital errands, we’d certainly consider it.

Apple Will Replace Your New (3rd-Gen) iPad If It Has Faulty Wi-Fi

Apple and it’s new iPad have been in for a bit of a kicking since the launch of the device last month. While most owners of the latest and greatest tablet seem happy, with no faults to report, message boards and technology blogs have been full of issues.

First we had the claimed issue where devices were getting abnormally hot during use, leading some clever people to take to their math books in order to compare the tablet with its older brothers. Yes it gets warmer, but hot?

The latest perceived issue revolves around the Wi-Fi reception of the new iPad – and interestingly it only affects those machines without a 4G radio in them.

Google Play Store Updated To v3.5.16 With Tons Of Bug Fixes And Improvements

Since killing off the  Android Market in favor of the Play Store, Google has been pushing updates on an almost weekly basis in an attempt to plug any lingering issues.
Unfortunately for some, the last update appeared to be causing more problems than it professed to resolve, with some Android users  reporting forced closes, web browsing issues, and the disappearing of paid apps.

YouTube Now Offers “Play In 3D” Option For Already Uploaded 1080p Videos

If you cast your minds back to last year, you may remember a little feature introduced by Google-owned YouTube, which allowed users to effortlessly convert standard videos to 3D.
Today, the beta implementation has been given a little update, and every "short form" 1080p video uploaded to the world’s most popular viral video  site will automatically be converted to 3D, yes, 3D. Those wishing to watch videos in three dimensions can now do so by playing around with the options in the quality menu, its that simple.
