What I'm Doing With My Life.....

iOS 6  is out now and it comes with a ton of new features. With  over 200 new features , it's difficult to find and try them all out for yourself. While most of the major features have been covered by Apple in their  iOS launch keynote , there are still some pretty useful and handy features that you may not have known about. While some users may be disappointed that there aren't many radical new features in iOS 6, the features that Apple did include add polish and usability to an already fantastic mobile operating system. Below you'll find some of my favorite hidden features that are buried in iOS 6. Have an iOS 6 hidden feature or tip that's not listed here?

Get ready for MixBit: YouTube co-founder teases new video site SUMMARY: YouTube may not really be shutting down, but that didn’t stop its cofounder Chad Hurley from announcing a new site. tweet this YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley piggybacked on YouTube’s April Fool’s Day Monday by using it  to tease a new site  called  MixBit  as a possible replacement. Of course, one has to take this announcement with a grain of salt, given the date, but it looks as if this is going to be the collaborative video site Hurley briefly mentioned at SXSW. MixBit currently only hosts a placeholder site, which reads: “YouTube is shutting down. Instead of sitting around, we thought you’d want a new site to not only watch cat videos, but create them… together!” tweet this The site further promises that the “future of video is launching soon.” The Verge, which  spotted Hurley’s tweet about MixBit first , also found a (now-disabled) test pages including one fea...

Google Nose is Mountain View's third April Fools' joke Google says 'smelling is believing' but this one certainly smells a bit fishy Google still isn't finished with the April Fools' shenanigans, and the announcement of Google Nose may be the silliest one yet. Billing it as "the new  scent sation in search", the website lists a full set of features: Your internet sommelier: expertly curated Knowledge Panels pair images, descriptions, and aromas. Take a wiff: the Google Aromabase - 15M+ scentibytes. Don't ask, don't smell: For when you're wary of your query - SafeSearch included.

Mailbox App is Gmail on iPhone Done Better Mailbox  is an email app for iPhone and Gmail that re-imagines the way we ingest and task-manage our inboxes. It's more than simply a nice-looking email client, as it aims to take a streamlined, efficient approach to handling the large volume of email most of us are accustomed to receiving every day. The management features — the main reason to use this app, in my opinion — outstrip Apple, and even Google's Gmail app, especially in terms of ease of use. This review includes several short videos demonstrating the features of Mailbox. You decide if it's so much better than Gmail and Apple Mail that it's worth waiting for. Mailbox has received some recent press because of an unusual launch strategy: a waiting list. That's right, in order to use the app hopeful Mailbox users will have to wait in line. And it's a long one. After downloading the app, available free in the App Store , I found I was well ov...

View Gallery Wired Rating 8/10 4 Wired:  Big, beautiful screen, very fast processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, large storage capacity Tired:  Poor battery life, no memory expansion, not a bargain Price:  £450 Have your say about this product in our comments The original HTC One X from last year was one of the first smartphones to get busy with a quad-core processor. Since then we've had a clutch of quad-core powerhouses including the Samsung Galaxy S3 , the  Google Nexus 4  and  Samsung Galaxy Note 2  -- so has the enhanced X+ done enough to compete with the expanding competition. It's on sale now for around £450. Design At first glance, the X+ looks much the same as the original X, with its sealed casing made of sturdy and tactile rubberised plastic. You can't open it, but you can get to the micro SIM via a slot on the top, which sits next to the 3.5mm headphone jack. On the sides are a volume rocker and microUSB power/sync...
