Apple Store Employees Get To Try OS X Mavericks Beta

Posted on June 19, 2013 by admin

In a move to gain more feedback, Apple is expanding its user base of the the OS X Mavericks beta to Apple Store employees that work the floor, and those that are behind the Genius Bar. This is the message that the employees received from the corporate types: You are invited to participate in the pre-release OS X Mavericks seed program. Participation, including submitting feedback, is completely voluntary and not an expectation of your job. If you accept, we will provide you with a pre-release version of OS X Mavericks to install and use. You will get to preview all of the exciting new features like iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Safari, iCloud Keychain, Multiple Displays, Notifications, Finder Tabs, Tags, and much more! You should use OS X Mavericks only your personal computer and on your personal time. Apple will provide you with ways to submit feedback on your experiences with OS X Mavericks, should you choose to do so. Apple also asks that you use future builds of OS X Mavericks as they are made available. The responses from prior seed programs have been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to everyone who participated! This isn’t the first time that Apple has pre-released beta software to Apple Store employees. Apple did the same thing a month before OS X Mountain Lion came out to the public. Apple gets feedback from people that really know their products, and Apple Store employees get to try out the OS early and learn more about it before its release to the public in the fall. Really, it’s a win-win. Continue reading →

Simple banking app updated with Goals

Posted on June 19, 2013 by admin

Trying to save up for a vacation? Or working tirelessly to pay off that pesky loan? Simple’s new app update will help. Simple  is an online bank replacement that has been in the App Store since January 2012. With no monthly fees, mobile check deposits and free ATM locations (through their banking partners), it’s definitely a great alternative to other banking solutions out there. Personally, I made the jump last month by canceling all of my other bank accounts and moving everything to Simple. With the 1.6 update that came out today, their Goals section is now accessible with the app. Once you set a name, amount, and pay-off date, Simple will siphon off the necessary “daily contribution” from your Safe-to-Spend amount and put the contribution toward your goal. If need be, you can pause the automatic siphoning or change the payoff date, all within the app. The new version is available right now in the App Store . Continue reading →

Nintendo taps Steel Diver franchise for its first free-to-play game

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Nintendo was coy when it announced that its first free-to-play game will launch before the end of next March, divulging only that it wouldn’t belong to the Mario or Pokemon franchises. However, the firm’s Shigeru Miyamoto revealed to IGN that its first gratis title would be a Steel Diver game — yes, as in the 3DS launch title — featuring four-person multiplayer. Don’t expect a rehash though, as the pricing model will change the game’s design. Kyoto’s gaming powerhouse hasn’t settled on what business model they’ll lean on quite yet, but CEO Satoru Iwata mentioned during an E3 analyst Q&A that its unpaid games would be “balanced and reasonable.” The Big N noted that “free-to-play games, if unbalanced, could result in some consumers paying extremely large amounts of money, and we can certainly not expect to build a good relationship with our consumers in this fashion.” There’s still no word regarding which consoles this free installment of Steel Diver will grace, but Miyamoto teases that it’s something they’re hoping to show “relatively soon.” Filed under: Gaming , HD , Nintendo Comments Via: Joystiq Source: IGN Continue reading →

Apple expands OS X Mavericks testing to Retail, iOS 7 to Cupertino locals for feedback

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Following the announcement of major updates to both OS X and iOS, Apple has begun seeding versions of the new operating systems beyond its own engineers and third-party developers. Beginning this week, several sources say, Apple has begun seeding the initial preview of OS X Mavericks to Genius Bar and on-floor Apple Retail employees. These select employees received the following message: You are invited to participate in the pre-release OS X Mavericks seed program. Participation, including submitting feedback, is completely voluntary and not an expectation of your job. If you accept, we will provide you with a pre-release version of OS X Mavericks to install and use. You will get to preview all of the exciting new features like iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Safari, iCloud Keychain, Multiple Displays, Notifications, Finder Tabs, Tags, and much more! You should use OS X Mavericks only your personal computer and on your personal time. Apple will provide you with ways to submit feedback on your experiences with OS X Mavericks, should you choose to do so. Apple also asks that you use future builds of OS X Mavericks as they are made available. The responses from prior seed programs have been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you to everyone who participated! This program is designed in order to gauge feedback in a more controlled environment about the major Mac OS update. Additionally, putting OS X Mavericks in the hands of Retail employees will allow the employees to become intimately familiar with the system ahead of the fall launch. Apple initiated a similar program approximately one month before OS X Mountain Lion shipped last summer. In addition to Retail employees, we understand that Apple has already seeded OS X Mavericks to its outside AppleSeed testing group. This seeding to AppleSeed is fairly early in comparison to initial OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion seeds in previous years. We also understand that Apple is preparing initial betas of OS X 10.8.5, a bug fix update for Mountain Lion, but a release time-frame for the betas is currently unclear. Notably, on the iOS 7 end, multiple sources say that Apple is working to expand testing of the next-generation iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch operating system beyond developers. Sources say that Apple is holding on campus sessions with Cupertino locals to gauge feedback on the radical design and interface changes in iOS. Apple has conducted similar programs in the past for specific, major software features, but rarely holds such previews for whole major operating system releases. It is unclear how these people have been picked, but it is probable that they are family members of Apple employees, according to two people. Full Mavericks invitation to Apple Retail employees: Continue reading →

A Tribe Called Detest

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Technology is a funny thing. Despite the traditional geek following, the world of tech has developed a tribal nature much like the testosterone-fuelled domain of team sports. Ironically, many of the customs and idiosyncrasies of team sports seem to have seeped into the tech world as well. These tribes, and the fanbois that populate them, have been evolving since the early days of Mac vs. IBM and Nintendo vs. Sega, but it seems that some tribes are more partisan than others. You would think the geeks and nerds scarred from locker room towel snappings and flashbacks of having to climb the rope in gym class would have more acceptance for difference, for nuance in their tribal affiliations. You’d be wrong. It is a well-accepted belief that Apple fanboys are the worst, most zealot-like of all the tribes. In some ways this is true, there are core elements of the Apple ethos that must not be questioned, like the origins of the GUI, but in many ways I find Apple fans are actually more open-minded that many of their tribal adversaries. Take Google for example. I like Google. Yes you read that right, I, an Apple fanboy, like Google. I use many of their services and find their seamless integration of data across any device to be a godsend. I use Apple web services like iCloud, but when it comes to data I need to have anywhere, on any device, I opt for Google’s offerings. You’ll find this sentiment across much of the Apple tribe, we prefer Apple hardware and software, but many of us religiously use Google services. It comes down to core competencies. Google, a company born on the web, is good at services. Apple, a company born in an engineering lab, is good at integrated hardware/software solutions. Some are suggesting that the only way for Apple to “win” (some even comically say “survive”) is to beat Google at services. However, when I open up my iPhone I don’t pine for an @imail.com email address. I don’t really care where my search comes from so long as it works well. The idea that everything on my iPhone needs to come from Apple is absurd, but it fits well with the “Apple is closed” myth perpetuated by the Google tribe. Does a TV manufacturer need to own and produce all the shows you watch? Does your car company need to own its own gas stations? The great “open” myth seems to stem from a hacker ethos that suggests that if I can’t open up my toaster and hack the brownness settings the device is a closed shop set up my “the man” to keep me down. Open is only Google’s mantra because it directly supports their revenue strategy their services and ads on as many platforms as possible. Whereas Apple’s more integrated approach supports their revenue goals to sell more devices by producing the best combination of hardware and software. These aren’t altruistic goals, they’re business strategies. Fanboys who try to apply virtue to them, like House Stark vs. House Lannister, are romanticizing companies as noble idealists. As Google’s transition towards integrated hardware shows, these principles are flexible based on changes in the marketplace. Is Google’s search algorithm open? From a consumer persecutive, open is simply what I can do with my device. In this regard Apple devices are the most open of any on the market. On an iPad I can use iBooks, Kindle, Kobo or Nook, giving me the most choice in eBooks of any mobile platform. On my iPhone I can use iTunes, Rdio, Spotify or Pandora, again a plethora of choice. Can I sideload torrented books directly onto my device? Not directly, but with some pretty simple conversions I can read, watch and listen to pretty much any file I want. Last week when iOS 7 was unveiled, there was an avalanche of opinion spewed about icons and frosted glass. I was watching my social feeds closely and I was amazed at the amount of pure vitriol came from my Android-loving friends. It’s a hatred with them. Unlike Apple fans who can love their iDevices while using Google services, there is a real, visceral dislike of Apple that causes not only a lot of knee-jerk judgement from Google fans, but a lot of narrow thinking. Open advocates think that the average person cares that they can’t hack their bootloader, when really all they care about is what apps, services and functions their device enables them to use. In this way, Apple is the most open and it shows in its tribe’s willingness to use services other than those produced by Apple. With more money and equity than most sovereign nations, Apple could buy Rdio, Twitter, Dropbox and Nintendo and still have money to spare. So why don’t they? Because their customers already have access to these services. Sure there might be some minor advantages to owning them wholly, but is that really worth a minor bump in integration, that can be accomplished through partnerships and APIs, when the benefits of those services, and hundreds of others, are already available to your customers? Think Vimeo and Flickr, Twitter and Facebook integration within iOS. So while the linkbait media are busy using words like “zealot”, “religion” and “cult” to describe Apple fans, we’re busy enjoying our pick of all, yes all, of the best services the world has to offer. And while Google fans fume about stolen notification centers and the inability to apply a Jessica Alba theme to the iOS UI, Apple fans happily enjoy the dozens of free services that Google provides. Apple fans are loyal, but we’re not blindly partisan to better solutions when they exist. As last week’s iOS 7 beta preview illustrated (yes beta preview Dribbble fans), we can be harshly critical of our own platform and will call out issues when we see them. If Apple is our god, we blaspheme a lot, and we covet frequently. Our tribe is strong and proud, but we’re not ignorant. I still imagine what things would be like if Eric Schmidt had resisted jumping into mobile operating systems and instead pursued more integration with iOS. We’ll never know. What I do know is that I don’t need Apple to become Google to enjoy my iOS device and I’m willing to give any Google service a try if I think it can improve my mobile experience. Let the towel snapping commence. Continue reading →

Google challenges FISA court on government data requests, asks for ability to release more details

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Google and other companies have already made general calls for more transparency in the wake of the PRISM revelations, and it looks like Mountain View is now escalating those requests to a court challenge. As The Washington Post reports , Google is asking the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for some additional leeway with the government requests for data that it’s able to disclose, and it’s citing the First Amendment to make its case. In a statement provided to us (included in full after the break), a Google spokesperson says that the company is specifically asking the court to let it “publish aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures, separately,” adding that “lumping national security requests together with criminal requests – as some companies have been permitted to do – would be a backward step for our users.” That’s in line with a statement Google made on Friday , which was echoed by Twitter, although there’s no word yet on it or any other companies joining Google in the court challenge at this time.

World War Z ‘Mega Ticket’ trial brings early screenings, bonuses for $50

Posted on June 18, 2013 by admin

Now that viewers can get excellent movie theater experiences at homes, studios and theaters are trying different strategies to keep bringing them in. Tomorrow night, Paramount will try a new tactic: offering buyers of its $50 “Mega Ticket” an early viewing of World War Z in 3D, plus a pair of collectible 3D glasses, a movie poster, an HD digital copy of the movie when it’s available on Blu-ray, and a small (seriously?) popcorn. We’re not sure if making it more expensive to go to the movies is the right way to go, but maybe it’s worth it for those who are really hyped about the film. The viewing is only available at a few Regal Theaters, listed after the break if if you’re interested in what’s listed as $75 worth of value.

Google announces Chromebooks are coming to more retailers around the world

Posted on June 17, 2013 by admin

Sure, you can already snag one of those Chromebooks from places such as Amazon, Best Buy and Google’s own Play shop. But, starting today, the Mountain View-based company is making various Chrome OS-sporting laptops available at more retailers around the globe — over 6,600, to be specific. Google says the likes of Walmart and Staples will now have a selection of Chromebooks up for grabs, while Office Depot, Office Max and Fry’s are expected to do the same “in the coming months.” For those across the pond, you can expect to find some of Google’s laptops at Dixon retailers in the UK, as well as Mediamarket, FNAC and Elgiganten stores in the Netherlands, France and Sweden, respectively. All in all, this is definitely a good thing for Google’s plan to get its Chromebook machines in as many locations as possible.
