iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 details leak ahead of WWDC

iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray-2

When Apple takes the stage at WWDC in early June, don’t expect the company to introduce major changes to iOS and OS X. 9to5Mac reports Apple is, for the most part, going to focus on making under-the-hood improvements, with particular emphasis on security, stability and performance. Think of this year’s update as more of a Snow Leopard-style update, which was more concerned with tightening up loose ends.

We already know some of the new features that are supposedly coming to iOS 9, including multi-window support, a new Home application, and the introduction of Apple’s font, San Francisco. On the desktop side, we haven’t heard much; however, 9to5Mac claims that rather than launching new features annually, Apple has decided to instead focus on making the OS as fast and secure as possible.

There might be a few new features, however. 9to5Mac says one of the biggest additions to OS X 10.11 will be Control Center, which is already found in iOS. The desktop implementation will reportedly come from the left side of the screen, and feature controls for music, AirPlay, and more. Apple has apparently been working on this feature for a while now, though 9to5Mac says Control Center could be pushed back. To when, we don’t know.

Meanwhile, Apple is said to be working on a number of security upgrades for both OS X and iOS, including a feature called Rootless, which is being described internally among Apple employees as “huge.” This feature will apparently provide unprecedented security, even preventing administrative-level users from being able to access protected files on Apple devices, 9to5Mac said. The Rootless feature is expected to be so big that it will “be a heavy blow to the jailbreak community.”

9to5Mac details some other features coming to iOS and OS X in its report, so check it out at the source link below. From a feature standpoint, the new updates sound like they’ll be disappointing, especially for anyone hoping for Apple to loosen up the customizability in iOS. From a developer standpoint, however, it sounds like both iOS and OS X are about to get even better.

We’ll find out everything at WWDC next month.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

The Sega Saturn hit shelves 20 years ago today

20 years ago today, one of the weirdest consoles we’ve seen hit the market: The Sega Saturn. Looking at the image above, if you haven’t seen the Saturn before, it might not look that weird at a glance – disc tray, six buttons on the controller, black plastic. Nothing too bizarre there. It’s how Sega got to the Saturn that’s strange. Sega was riding high on the wild success of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sega of America had taken the Mega Drive, renamed Genesis in the United States, from a tiny also-ran to an equal player against the Super Nintendo. Sega was, of course, looking for the next big thing. Sega of America’s president Tom Kalinske courted Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Olaf Olafsson first, almost reaching a deal to cooperate on a new console. That fell through, just as Sony’s negotiations with Nintendo had before that. When Kalinkse brought the idea to the board at Sega of Japan, they weren’t interested in working with the guys who make Walkman stereos (kids, ask your...

competencia de la nota 4, iPhone 6 Plus, Nexus 6, DROID Turbo, Moto

Parece que la última cosa que la gente quiere hacer es quedarse con un teléfono más de 90 días. Hemos golpeado un ciclo donde los dispositivos se liberan, sólo para ser seguida poco después por algo mejor. Usted compra un teléfono, y no mucho después es probable que haya una mejor más nuevo dispositivo, en el bolsillo. Es sólo la tecnología funciona así. Por lo que dice mucho cuando un teléfono en particular soportó un aluvión de colombófilo competencia, más potente. Echamos un vistazo a la OnePlus Uno seis meses después. Ya sabes que los OnePlus Uno era el teléfono de TechnoBuffalo de 2014, y eso es en un mercado a la competencia de la nota 4, iPhone 6 Plus, Nexus 6, DROID Turbo, Moto X y muchos más. Pero queríamos reflexionar más profundamente sobre lo que nuestra experiencia ha sido como todos estos meses posteriores. Muchas veces usted tiene este período de luna de miel con un dispositivo en el que las cosas son grandes y todo funciona perfectamente. Pero...
