Once the laughing-stock of the navigation app market, Apple Maps is now a powerful, reliable travel companion. Apple rebuilt the platform from the ground up, placing the app in league with Google Maps. That said, there's always room for improvement, as demonstrated by its impressive new features set in iOS 14.
Apple just released public beta 2 for iOS 14 today, Thursday, July 9. The good news comes two days after Apple released the second iOS 14 developer beta, and 17 days after the release of the first developer beta. While this is the first public beta for iOS 14, it's called "public beta 2" to keep in line with developer beta numbering.
Apple just released the second developer beta for iOS 14 today, Tuesday, July 7. The update comes 15 days after Apple seeded developers the first iOS 14 beta, which introduced home screen widgets, picture-in-picture, and 4K YouTube support, among more than 200 other features.
Remember concerts? Those were fun. While gathering in large groups to listen to live music might not be allowed at the moment, the live music part still is. Thanks to the internet, more and more musicians are taking the stage each day to perform for those of us stuck in social isolation due to the new coronavirus. The best part? Many of these concerts are 100% free.
In the case of Apple Watch v. Fitbit, the winner comes down to the judge at hand. Apple currently offers two smartwatches — the Series 5 and the Series 3 — while Fitbit offers three models — the Fitbit Versa 2, Fitbit Ionic, and Fitbit Versa Lite. Whatever your assumptions about these devices are, throw them out the window, as each has something unique to bring to the table.
Smartphones are vital travel companions. While you're on the go, they connect you with loved ones back home, help you find tickets and passes for tourist attractions, and make it easy to find your way through foreign roads — but even the most powerful smartphone could use help from travel accessories.
Christmas is just one week before Jan. 1. That means a lot of New Year's resolutions filled with promises to better ourselves with increased productivity, focus, and work ethics — but getting started can be challenging. Give the people in your life a leg up this holiday season with these smartphone gifts to keep them on-task in 2020.
So, someone on your shopping list has an iPhone. Lucky for you, Apple's line of smartphones are practically made for accessories. From AirPods to adapters, there's something for every iPhone user in your life. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the options? You've come to the right place.
If we were to assign a theme for the 2019 edition of the Next Reality 30 (NR30), it might be something along the lines of, "What have you done for me lately?"
Overall, iOS is more impressive than ever with its stability enhancements, security tools, suite of apps and services, and intuitive user interface. With each passing update, things just get better and better for iPhone users. But don't think for a second that this is all because of Apple's genius — many of these features were at least partly inspired by tweaks made by the jailbreak community.
Apple's iOS 11 is finally here, and while they showed off several of the new features it brings to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch back at WWDC 2017, they've only just touched the surface of what iOS 11 has to offer. There are a lot of cool new (and sometimes secret) features to explore, so we've collected them all here for you.
A PirateBox creates a network that allows users to communicate wirelessly, connecting smartphones and laptops even when surrounding infrastructure has been disabled on purpose or destroyed in a disaster. Using a Raspberry Pi, we will make a wireless offline server that hosts files and a chat room as an educational database, a discreet local chat room, or a dead-drop file server.
Flight disruptions can cost billions of dollars, but most modern commercial flights rely on air traffic control systems that harbor serious vulnerabilities. The Federal Aviation Administration uses an infrastructure called NextGen, which relies on Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast, or ADS-B for short.
Besides obvious features like a touchscreen and biometric sensors, the modern smartphone comes with an array of state-of-the-art hardware in the form of various sensors that help your device sense the environment around it. And if you have a Samsung handset, chances are, you have a handy feature built in that enables you to check if these sensors are functioning 100 percent.
Mikoto, from Karen Tsai (aka angelxwind), is a free jailbreak tweak unlike any other. With Mikoto, you can customize features in your favorite iOS apps to an extent that you would've never thought possible.
@Notch's spec sheet for the DCPU-16
In a recent tweet, Notch has declared that we (the community, not just this World) will develop the OS to be distributed with 0x10c. I hope we're up to the task. Notch thinks we are, and that gives me all kinds of warm fuzzies.
This morning's live stream of Notch coding part of the shape editing engine for 0x10c included a very brief moment where he typed out his pronounciation of 0x10c on the screen. It's not clear how he got to this (or even if he was just trolling the live-stream viewers), but according to notch, it's pronounced ten screw:
Notch's official explanation as to why Minecraft will not be available through Steam. Makes sense to me.

The as of yet undocumented DAT op code can also be used to read keyboard input by simply referencing dat 0. Here's the code from Notch's pastebin:
An emulator written in C#. There is a demonstration loading and running Notch's test program at line 252.
Who ever heard of a boss being this generous? Notch decided to share his wealth instead of keeping it for himself.
Notched entered Ludumdare's 48 hour game competition (one of his regular outlets) where he created a mini 2d Minecraft. You can play it now after the jump below...
It's still a work in progress, says Notch but here it is, a proper video of dragons in Minecraft. Notch also somewhat hinted that they would be compatible in SMP!! Time to go make a band of dragon slayers!
Minecraft might still be in development, but that doesn't mean a creative guy like Notch doesn't have time for other projects. A few months ago he and his company Mojang announced their second game, a digital collectible trading card affair called Scrolls. A simple title (perhaps too generic if anything), but it's not the name of an extant game, and it's appropriate given the visual style and card-based gameplay of the game itself.
Notch- "I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins."

Today Carl, Notch, Jeb, Jon and Lydia were at the Bella Center in Copenhagen for LEGOworld to unveil LEGO Minecraft.
Minecraft 1.0 officially released by Notch. MineCon has been awesome... more soon!
Potions have been the interest of discussions lately - it was hinted that they would be made using a cauldron. Recent news, however, suggests that the above "brewing stand" would be used instead.
Hey, check out this awesome trailer made, not by Notch, but by a fan!
The anonymous doctorate of science, Nurdrage, is back with another fascinating HowTo (previously featured, glow sticks). Dr. Lithium's latest video demonstrates how to practice diamagnetic levitation using common household pencil lead and magnets.
My stomach is doing somersaults just watching this. Looks fun, albeit incredibly dangerous. Take it down a notch (or fifty) and build an indoor swing this winter. Previously, Deeply Trusting Female Volunteers Bod to Redneck Science: First Human Slingshot.
Watch this video from This Old House to learn how to make deck stairs. Steps:
Chocolate covered cherries just wouldn't be the same with your favorite liqueur, but the only way to make sure you're fully enjoy these 'Triple C' confections is to make them yourself. We know… it can be a daunting task, but it's so worth it.
The worst can always happen. Even if you think you're absolutely prepared, you can somehow find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere by yourself. It can happen. Without a map, without a compass, without a cell phone... without food and water.
If you love braiding your hair but want to take your style up a notch, then pigtail braids are the perfect solution. All you need is a brush, a hair band,a comb and a hair ribbon. First, separate a small section on the left side of the head, and separate into 3 pieces. Braid this section until you are halfway through the hair. Next, separate a small section on the right side of the head and create another braid. Take both braids and join them in the middle. Create 3 sections to make a new bra...
