Many users manage multiple Gmail accounts&amp;nbsp; for work and for personal use. Having a singular efficient interface to manage emails from is great but switching between different account, not so great. You can switch between different Google accounts right from the Google UI with the Account Switcher for Google Gmail™ accounts extension for Chrome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Google Account switcher&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;/Google-Account-switcherthumb1.png&quot; title=&quot;Google Account switcher&quot; width=&quot;664&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An extremely useful and simple extension, the Account Switcher appears when you sign into any Google account as a link next to your account in the upper right hand corner. Before you can start using the extension, add the different accounts you use from the extension’s options, you can enter your user name and password or just your username. The extension stores the information you enter on the browser and does not save it anywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
When the Switch account button is clicked, a drop down lists the accounts you’ve saved, choose whichever one you want to sign in with. You will automatically be signed out of the account. If you saved the password for the account in the extension settings, you will automatically be logged in to the other account. If you chose not to enter your password, you will be signed out of Google and taken to the log in page with the Username field prefilled with the account you selected.&lt;br /&gt;
The developer has given the disclaimer ‘We DO NOT guarantee the security of the passwords’, so for those concerned with password security, you can skip entering your password when you add an account to the extension.&amp;nbsp; You will have to enter the password yourself when the Sign In page opens.&lt;br /&gt;

By scanning your library and syncing legitimate AAC files when it finds a match, some said, iTunes was effectively offering money laundering for music: chuck your torrented, low bitrate tunes in one end and get your shiny legal 256Kbps AACs out of the other.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s a pirate party mix!&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t think that&#39;s how it&#39;s going to pan out.&lt;br /&gt;
First and foremost, if you&#39;re a huge torrenter then you&#39;re not going to suddenly start paying for a service that syncs all the stuff you weren&#39;t willing to pay money to acquire in the first place. iTunes Match isn&#39;t hugely expensive, but it&#39;s still cash.&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, if you&#39;re a huge torrenter then you&#39;ll be thoroughly unimpressed by the prospects of 256Kbps AACs anyway. You need to be a pretty poor pirate to end up with low-bitrate rips when everything&#39;s a 320Kbps MP3 or a FLAC file - the quality upgrade&#39;s more relevant to those of us who were ripping our CDs in the days when MP3 player storage was still a problem and bitrates were a trade-off between good-enough quality and small-enough files.&lt;br /&gt;
And thirdly, Apple doesn&#39;t care anyway. It&#39;s got other digital fish to fry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Your music matters&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t doubt that some people will use iTunes Match to sync music they didn&#39;t buy, but it&#39;s not as if that represents a lost sale for anyone: they&#39;ve had the songs before iTunes Match came along, and all iTunes Match is doing is helping to move them about a bit. It&#39;s hardly facilitating piracy.&lt;br /&gt;
What it is doing, though, is encouraging inertia. Inertia keeps everything Apple, and keeps you buying Apple hardware. Inertia is why Apple&#39;s announced iMessage, a chat system that bypasses SMS charges but only works with Apple kit, and it&#39;s why Apple&#39;s introduced iTunes Match.&lt;br /&gt;
Apps are an example of inertia. I&#39;ve spent so much money on iOS apps, and come to rely on so many of them, that Apple would have to do something unspeakably evil such as shoot my dog before I&#39;d jump ship to a rival OS. &lt;br /&gt;
Many of the apps I like aren&#39;t available on other OSes, but even if they were the sheer cost of buying them again and setting everything up just-so keeps me on iDevices.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s the same with cloud music. When Google and Amazon announced their cloud lockers, I quickly checked my iTunes library size, did a few sums and honked with derision. &lt;br /&gt;
You want me to upload &lt;i&gt;all of that&lt;/i&gt;? It simply isn&#39;t practical on a DSL line unless you&#39;ve got weeks to spare and an understanding ISP. &lt;br /&gt;
I suspect that by offering to match what&#39;s in your library rather than upload it, Apple&#39;s prevented a lot of people dumping iTunes for Google or Amazon&#39;s cloud lockers. And once it&#39;s got you, the sheer size of your library and the thought of having to upload the lot of it will keep you loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s assuming, of course, that cloud music is ready for prime time. I&#39;m not sure it is - especially over here where network coverage is crappy and unlimited mobile internet is nothing of the sort. iTunes Match may have a 25,000 song limit, but I can promise you that your fair usage allowance is much, much smaller. &lt;br /&gt;

Acer&#39;s newly-announced Aspire Ethos is not just a laptop, according to Acer. No, apparently it&#39;s a multimedia experience, redefining how you enjoy your music, videos and pictures. &lt;br /&gt;
And just how does it do this? It starts with a detachable touchpad to use as a remote control, moves on to a frameless 15- or 18-inch full HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and ends with a choice of Nvidia Geforce graphics cards (GT 555M or GT 540M). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Acer aspire ethos&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/computer-hardware/images/Acer_AspireEthos_touchpad-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Powering all this is a second-gen Intel Core processor – an i7, i5 or i3 depending on your budget, and up to 4GB of RAM. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Drive faster&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Aspire Ethos comes with either one or two 500, 640 or 750 GB hard drives and there&#39;s the option of a Blu-ray drive if that takes your fancy - no 3D support, though. &lt;br /&gt;
As far as connectivity goes, you&#39;re looking at Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 with a card reader, a combo of USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports and an HDMI port to boot. &lt;br /&gt;
The Aspire Ethos line up comes with Windows 7 and a UK release date of mid-June. &lt;br /&gt;
All this doesn&#39;t come cheap, mind you; the Acer Aspire Ethos UK prices will start at £999. &lt;br /&gt;

What can you do if iTunes can&#39;t see your device when you connect it!? &lt;br /&gt;
When you plug an iPhone, iPod or iPad into your Mac, the on-screen battery indicator will change to show it&#39;s charging or plugged in. Make sure you&#39;re not just seeing a normal battery; if you are, try a different USB lead, another USB port and be sure it&#39;s connected directly to your Mac and not an external hub. &lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, a device won&#39;t show up if it&#39;s very low on charge - wait a few minutes until it&#39;s got a bit more juice in it and it should appear. If the connection is okay but iTunes is still not recognising it, run Software Update to make sure OS X and iTunes are both up to date. Try switching both your Mac and the device off and then on again.&lt;br /&gt;
Some software, including security and anti-virus apps, can cause problems, so try disabling or uninstalling these to see if that helps. Have you got any other iPod or iPhone-related software on your Mac? Uninstall and restart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;I&#39;ve lost the music on my Mac but I have it on my iPod&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iPod&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.icn_ipod-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To protect against music piracy, Apple doesn&#39;t enable you to copy music from your iPod to your Mac, but in a case like yours, you have a legitimate need to get music you own off your iPhone or iPod onto your Mac. Download &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/&quot;&gt;Senuti&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s a free trial available or the full version costs $19 (about £12). Install it, open the app and plug in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Your music and playlists will appear in the window - select the songs you want and click Transfer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;Syncing my iOS device without losing what&#39;s on it&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This isn&#39;t easy, because you need to transfer your iTunes library to the new machine in order for the iPhone or iPod to continue syncing as normal. &lt;br /&gt;
On the old Mac, run Software Update to be sure you&#39;re running the latest version of iTunes. Next, open iTunes, press Commad+, to open the Preferences and click Advanced. If it isn&#39;t already, the Keep iTunes Media folder organised box must be ticked. Doing this will move all your music into one place. &lt;br /&gt;
The area above it will show you where the iTunes folder&#39;s kept (usually in /Users/yourusername/Music). Locate it in Finder and copy it to your new Mac&#39;s desktop (via an external hard drive or USB stick). Now find the iTunes folder on the new Mac. The old must replace the new, but if you&#39;ve already got media on the newer machine, move its iTunes folder elsewhere on the hard drive for now. &lt;br /&gt;
Then put the iTunes folder from your old Mac into /Users/yourusername/Music on the new one and fire up iTunes. All being well, your media library will appear safe and sound and you&#39;ll be able to sync away to your heart&#39;s content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;Charging is not supported by this accessory…&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you see this message there could be a number of reasons your device won&#39;t charge. The power from the accessory or USB port may be too low, the cable may not be supported or there could be dirt in your dock connector. Try using a different accessory, cable and USB port, and carefully clean the dock connector in your device. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to improve iOS battery life &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Battery&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.boxout_iphonebatt-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If your battery seems to be running out on your iOS device rather quickly, there are a couple of things you can do. &lt;br /&gt;
Disable any features on the device you&#39;re not using - 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Push, Location Services and so on - and dim the screen&#39;s brightness. Avoid constantly skipping through songs (a better idea is to create playlists on your Mac of tracks you know you want to listen to?). &lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s also worth recalibrating your battery, which you can do by running it through a full charge cycle. Essentially, this means running it right down and then charging it fully. Repeat this process once a month. &lt;br /&gt;
For more information about how to care for your iPod, iPhone or iPad battery and keep it living longer, have a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/batteries/&quot;&gt;www.apple.com/batteries&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quick tip &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Newer iOS devices can generally be unplugged from your Mac whenever you please, but we&#39;d recommend you don&#39;t do this mid-sync. &lt;br /&gt;
Older ones need to be properly ejected first to prevent damage to the contents, so click the eject symbol next to their name in iTunes or drag the icon to the Trash and wait for the OK to disconnect message on the iPod screen.&lt;br /&gt;

Analyst house Gartner has issued a new prediction for worldwide PC growth in 2011, saying that consumers will cause growth to slow to 9.3 per cent. &lt;br /&gt;
Its previous prediction for this year was 10.5 per cent, but the downwards revision has come as consumers continue to tighten their financial belts. &lt;br /&gt;
It doesn&#39;t help that consumers are losing interest in teeny little netbooks and seem to be putting off purchases in order to see how the whole tablet thing pans out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Notebook apathy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner, explains, &quot;Consumer mobile PCs are no longer driving growth, because of sharply declining consumer interest in mini-notebooks. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Media tablets, such as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/ipad-2-935199/review&quot;&gt;iPad&lt;/a&gt;, have also impacted mobile growth, but more because they have caused consumers to delay new mobile PC purchases rather than directly replacing aging mobile PCs with media tablets.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
Gartner still maintains that tablets won&#39;t have much impact on the PC market, with Atwal adding, &quot;We believe direct substitution of media tablets for mobile PCs will be minimal.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Looking up &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s not all bad news for PCs though, says Gartner. Business refresh cycles will keep the market ticking over, and the changing focus of the PC will also revive the consumer sector. &lt;br /&gt;
Mr Atwal concludes, &quot;Moving forward, PCs will no longer be a market by themselves, but part of a larger device market that ranges from smart televisions to the most-basic-feature phones. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Within this market, consumers and professionals will increasingly use the combination of devices that best suits their particular needs.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;

We&#39;re expecting big things from Apple this year: the iPhone 5 will be with us at some point in 2011, and some rumours suggest we&#39;ll see the iPad 3 as early as this autumn. &lt;br /&gt;
But in the meantime there&#39;s a new version of iOS, iOS 5 here and it&#39;s been &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/portable-devices/apple-apes-android-for-official-ios-5-unveiling-962674&quot;&gt;revealed&lt;/a&gt; during tonight&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-wwdc-2011-what-to-expect-961016&quot;&gt;WWDC 2011&lt;/a&gt; keynote.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;Read on for our list of all the new iOS 5 features but for a video rundown of what&#39;s new, check out our pal T3&#39;s video below:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 release date&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The iOS release date is Autumn 2011 - probably to coincide with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/iphone-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-721534&quot;&gt;new iPhone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 compatibility&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/apple-ios-5-coming-to-iphone-3gs-and-older-ipads-962736&quot;&gt;iOS 5 will work with iPhone 4 and 3GS&lt;/a&gt; (the latter is a surprise), iPad and iPad 2, and the iPod touch 3rd and 4th gen. We&#39;re also a little surprised to see it&#39;s going to be rolled out to the original iPad, but as it has the same hardware as the iPhone 4 we guess Apple doesn&#39;t have to cut it loose this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 goes PC-free&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/apple-cuts-the-cord-ipad-and-iphone-no-longer-need-a-pc-962754&quot;&gt;Apple says it is &quot;cutting the cable&quot; with iOS 5&lt;/a&gt; - just as well, as it claimed the iPad 2 was the first post-PC device earlier in the year. OS updates can be delivered over the air - you&#39;ll just received what&#39;s changed rather than the usual 600MB download - and devices can be activated without plugging them into iTunes. Ace.&lt;br /&gt;
You can also now create and delete iOS calendars and mailboxes too, so you really can devolve your device from your PC or Mac.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;You can activate on the device and you&#39;re ready to go,&quot; explained Apple&#39;s Scott Forstall.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Software updates are now over the air. So you no longer need to plug in to update your software. And they&#39;re now Delta updates. Instead of downloading the whole OS, you only download what&#39;s changed,&quot; he continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;We said, why do people go back to a computer? Calendars, people create or delete them. You can do that now. Photo editing, you can do it on the devices. Even mail - you can create folders.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;So if you want to cut the cord, you can.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With iOS 5 and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-10-things-we-want-to-see-959280&quot;&gt;iCloud&lt;/a&gt;, you just enter your Apple ID and password, and iCloud will seamlessly integrate with your apps to automatically and wirelessly keep all of your mail, contacts, calendars, photos, apps, books, music and more, up-to-date across all your devices without ever having to connect to a computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 iMessage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s now a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/imessage-apple-takes-on-blackberry-s-bbm-962759&quot;&gt;new messaging service&lt;/a&gt; - like text messaging or BlackBerry BBM - but between all iOS users. It&#39;s designed for those with iPads and iPod touches primarily, but is cross-device and integrates with the iPhone, too.&lt;br /&gt;
The new application supports a multitude of features, including the ability to send pictures, videos or contacts, and also start a group message too. Real-time notifications mean you won&#39;t have to wait to see if someone is going to reply.&lt;br /&gt;
This is a massive hit to RIM, which prides itself on BBM for BlackBerry. According to Apple, iMessage works both over Wi-Fi and 3G, and if you want to send a message all you have to do is tap the camera icon, pick a pic and you&#39;re away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iMessage&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/iPhone/iOS%205/ios5_imessage-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Notification Center&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The new OS has a new system for Notifications. More than 100 billion Notifications have been pushed so far, says Apple, but the company acknowledges that they&#39;re annoying. So now there will be a Notification Center to aggregate all the Notifications - you can access it by swiping down from the top of the screen. It is not persistent, but looks a lot like Android. It&#39;s on the lock screen, as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Notifications&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/iPhone/iOS%205/ios5_notificationcenter-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Newsstand&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Further to Apple&#39;s subscriptions model, you&#39;ll now be able to browse newspapers and magazines to download just as you can books and music. New issues you subscribe to are automatically downloaded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Newsstand&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/iPhone/iOS%205/ios5_newstand-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Twitter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Much rumoured beforehand, Apple has introduced Twitter natively into iOS 5, with a &#39;one click&#39; option for applications to let you use Twitter functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
All you&#39;ll need to do is sign in through the Settings menu and any app can request integration with your Twitter account, meaning no more constant signing in to every new application you download. It&#39;s also fully integrated with the Camera and Photo apps, for example.&lt;br /&gt;
You can also tweet articles from Safari and locations from Maps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Safari&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A new reading mode has been introduced in Safari, which removes distraction and provides you with a single, scrolling story. Bye bye, ads! You can now also email the contents of the story as well as the link. There&#39;s also a Reading List option so you can save stuff to look at later. We bet Read It Later and Instapaper are well chuffed about that. There&#39;s also tabbed browsing and lightning-fast window switching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Reminders&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A reminders feature enables you to store Lists, assign reminders to any dates or even location-specific info. These sync across devices and with iCal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Camera&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s now a camera button on the lock screen, while you can also use the volume button to take pictures - a great addition. Apple says its camera is one of the most commonly used pieces of hardware on photo-sharing sites like Flickr, and has updated the functionality accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
Photo editing software for easy cropping and enhancement has been added in to iOS 5, and pinching to zoom will zoom in on images when you&#39;re trying to take a pic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Mail&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The app now has new elements like draggable addresses so you can pop them across from To to Cc or Bcc.&lt;br /&gt;
Flagging and full-searchable messages have been added in too, plus rich text formatting for easier interaction with your e-mails.&lt;br /&gt;
A built in dictionary makes it easier to keep your spelling under control, and for the iPad: a split keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;
Simply grabbing it with your thumbs and sliding upwards will split it in two, making it easier to tap out emails more speedily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 Game Center&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Game Center now lets you browse and download games directly, as well as introducing Achievementpoints, There&#39;s also Friend Discovery. Gamer profiles have been updated to include photos as well, plus turn-based gaming is baked right into the application for more responsive gaming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Want to look back at our predictions? Read our previous iOS 5 rumours below:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5.0 release date isn&#39;t until September...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
iOS has been around long enough for a pattern to emerge: a springtime reveal and then a summertime launch with the latest iPhone. Not this time, &lt;a href=&quot;http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/26/ios-5-likely-pushed-to-the-fall-after-a-cloud-unveiling-at-wwdc/&quot;&gt;Techcrunch says&lt;/a&gt;: while iOS 5 is likely to be shown off &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-worldwide-developers-conference-2011-announced-938723&quot;&gt;at the WWDC event in June&lt;/a&gt;, the iOS 5.0 release date will probably be in September.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;...or maybe April&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to &quot;trusted sources&quot;, a German blog claimed that iOS 5.0 would be released at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/apple-to-launch-ios-5-at-event-in-early-april--934468&quot;&gt;an Apple event in April&lt;/a&gt;. Apple had better get a move on, then.&lt;br /&gt;
iOS 5 now looks as though it&#39;s being tested in the wild. On 1 May 2011, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.9to5mac.com/64786/apple-has-begun-widespread-testing-of-ios-5/&quot;&gt;9to5 Mac said&lt;/a&gt; that it had received word from developers who found that their apps are being tested with iOS 5. And earlier, on 27 April 2011, a &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/#%21/futuretap/status/63307813824364546&quot;&gt;tweet from app developer Future Tap&lt;/a&gt; said &quot;Just received the first iOS 5.0 crash report. MKUserLocationBreadCrumb sounds interesting.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;...and iOS 5.0 might not be on the iPhone 5&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are two possibilities here: either Apple is ripping up its existing annual schedule and keeping the iPhone 5 back until the Autumn too, in which case the iPhone 5 will be an iOS 5.0 device, or Apple is sticking to its annual release and we&#39;ll see an iPhone 5.0 in the summer without iOS 5.0. Our money&#39;s on the former: the superbly well-connected Jim Dalrymple says this year&#39;s WWDC is a software show, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/03/28/no-iphone-ipad-or-mac-hardware-coming-at-wwdc/&quot;&gt;not a hardware event&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5.0 has automatic app downloads&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/automatic-app-downloads-coming-to-ios-5--962587&quot;&gt;Automatic app updates&lt;/a&gt; appear to be coming to iOS devices in the iOS 5 update. &lt;br /&gt;
The rumour was kickstarted by a screengrab from iTunes which says, &quot;If your device has Automatic Download enabled for apps, your updates will download to your device without having to sync.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5.0 specifications include better notifications&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
iOS&#39;s notification system for SMSes, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-12-things-apple-needs-to-fix-926613&quot;&gt;missed calls and app messages is rubbish&lt;/a&gt;, but Cult of Mac reports that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cultofmac.com/apple-is-revamping-notification-system-for-ios-exclusive/80149&quot;&gt;good news is coming in iOS 5.0&lt;/a&gt;: Apple is &quot;working on a new notification system for iOS and will be buying a small company to build its technology into the operating system&quot; - likely candidates include App Remix, whose &lt;a href=&quot;http://boxcar.io/&quot;&gt;Boxcar&lt;/a&gt; does what iOS doesn&#39;t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Boxcar&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/world%20of%20tech/images/boxcar-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;NEW NOTIFICATIONS:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Rumours suggest Apple&#39;s buying App Remix to boost iOS&#39;s notification system&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5.0 features include cloud music and photo sharing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Amazon&#39;s already launched its cloud-based music service, but Apple&#39;s offering is more ambitious than a few gigs of server space: 9to5 Mac says there&#39;s a photo-based social service called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.9to5mac.com/59129/ios-5-packs-photo-stream-social-feature-into-photos-app/&quot;&gt;Photo Stream in the Photos app&lt;/a&gt; and the much-rumoured, cloud-based iTunes service is likely to turn up alongside a revamped MobileMe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Could iOS 5.0 also include Spaces&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A patent filed by Apple &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/apple-ios-5-may-bring-spaces-to-ipad-940269&quot;&gt;suggests that iOS 5 will see &#39;Spaces&#39; come to the iPad&lt;/a&gt;. The patent application shows a touchscreen device with Spaces controlled by multi-touch gestures, which hints at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-4-3-multi-touch-gestures-demoed-922871&quot;&gt;gesture control that is only available to devs&lt;/a&gt; in iOS 4.3 becoming standard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5.0 features include beefed-up speech recognition&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
iOS&#39;s voice recognition lags far behind Android&#39;s, but that might change with the release of iOS 5.0: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/Soleil+Securities+Reiterates+a+Buy+on+Nuance+Communications+%28NUAN%29%3B+Nuance+Likely+Important+Part+of+Apples+IOS+5/6396056.html&quot;&gt;according to analysts at Soleil Securities&lt;/a&gt;, &quot; Apple&#39;s IOS 5.0 for the next-generation iPhone will likely feature deep voice control into the operating system and likely be demonstrated in June. We believe that Apple&#39;s partner for the underlying voice recognition technology is Nuance&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Nuance&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/world%20of%20tech/images/nuance-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;SPEAK AND SPELL:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Apple and Nuance are reportedly beefing up iOS&#39;s speech recognition features&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of the bigger shocks when Apple announced &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-all-the-latest-details-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt; to the world earlier this week was that the new mobile operating system would come with a modicum of Twitter integration.&lt;br /&gt;
Given that Apple is usually such a closed shop, especially when it comes to its OS, its embrace of the micro-blogging giant surprised many - but Twitter&#39;s head of platform Ryan Sarver think it makes perfect sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Overall the big thing for us is the combination of two big platforms,&quot; Sarver explained to TechCrunch. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;And we&#39;re complementary to each other. Twitter from day one has been a mobile-friendly company — that was a part of Jack&#39;s [Dorsey] original vision. So to pair up with Apple on this is a great opportunity.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Big referer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sarver explained that within iOS5 Twitter users will be able to sign in once and then have the ability to read and write tweets and send DMs.&lt;br /&gt;
Sarver also said that anyone making an app for iOS should seriously think about using some sort of Twitter integration.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I think this integration has the potential to be the second biggest referral for app growth behind the App Store.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The main point in my mind is that if you&#39;re making an app for iOS and you&#39;re not thinking about Twitter, you&#39;re really missing an opportunity.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Apple has announced at WWDC 2011 that it will be bringing a new instant message service to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.&lt;br /&gt;
Called iMessage, the service allows you to start a cross-device conversation where you can post text messages, photos, videos, contacts and even do group messaging.&lt;br /&gt;
This is a massive hit to RIM, who prides itself on BBM for BlackBerry, and it is also puts the iPhone 4 in firm contention as a business phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Message in an iPhone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to Apple, iMessage works both over Wi-Fi and 3G and if you want to send a message all you have to do is tap the camera icon, pic a pic and you are away.&lt;br /&gt;
Apple has managed to squeeze around 200 new features into iOS 5.&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, you are in for a bit of a wait as the iOS 5 UK release date is this fall – which pegs it for a release around September.&lt;br /&gt;
Check out all the features of iOS 5 in this handy video from our colleagues over at T3:&lt;br /&gt;

An extremely clever young Apple fan has discovered a way for iPhone owners to upgrade to iOS 5 now, without a developer account.&lt;br /&gt;
Apple announced the new mobile operating system at WWDC on Monday, and immediately launched a Beta copy for registered Apple developers, ahead of the autumn release for us regular Joes.&lt;br /&gt;
However, this didn&#39;t satisfy aspiring young developer, Mert Erdir who sent &lt;a href=&quot;http://gizmodo.com/5809621/how-to-upgrade-to-ios-5-today-without-any-developer-account&quot;&gt;Gizmodo&lt;/a&gt; full instructions on how to download iOS 5 right now through a carefully-crafted back door - without the hint of a jailbreak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Exploited flaw&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His simple hack involves downloading the IPSW firmware file from the web and updating the software through some neat right-click trickery from within the iTunes &#39;check for new software&#39; menu.&lt;br /&gt;
Mert then demonstrates how to activate the operating system on your iPhone, with a series of multi-touch moves that reminded us of Pai Mei&#39;s Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique from Kill Bill: Volume 2.&lt;br /&gt;
The hack exploits an activation system flaw by using the Voice Over functionality on the iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;
Hey presto! A fully activated version of iOS 5 for the iPhone!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;I want to meet Steve&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Istanbul-based Mert says he wanted to get the attention of Apple, in the hope of meeting Steve Jobs and fulfilling his dream of becoming a developer for the company he loves.&lt;br /&gt;
He says: &quot;My will is not to do something harmful to anyone, I just wanted to get the attention of Apple, the company I&#39;m in love with; and maybe one day have a chance to talk to/meet Steve Jobs himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I found this because I don&#39;t have much cash to get an iOS developer account, so donations for a young developer will be appreciated.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Feel like rewarding him for getting iOS 5 a few months early? Contact him on &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/#%21/merterdir&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
And you can check out T3&#39;s video of iOS 5 from WWDC.&lt;br /&gt;

It&#39;s powerful, but simple,&quot; says Schiller. &quot;But there&#39;s more; if you don&#39;t like what you&#39;ve saved, you can revert. You can select lock if you don&#39;t want it to autosave. You can duplicate the document from the title bar and start working on another version.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that&#39;s essentially the next Lion feature that Schiller is showing off, known as Versions. Each iteration of your document is saved as you go, and you can access all of them. It offers manual snapshots and efficient storage, and only the current version of the document is shared if you send it on to someone else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mac/Lion_versions-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mac os x lion&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AirDrop is the next feature to be unveiled; it&#39;s basically DropBox but over a smaller network, allowing peer-to-peer file sharing. It&#39;s a drag and drop affair, with data encryption and works over Wi-Fi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mac/Lion_airdrop-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mac os x lion&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Mail has been updated in Mac OS X Lion; it looks a lot more like the iPad app, offering conversation view, updated search with suggestions and a favourites bar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mac/Lion_Mail-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mac os x lion&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-uk-release-date-and-pricing-revealed-962742&quot;&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion release date&lt;/a&gt; will be July 2011, when you&#39;ll be able to explore the other 240 features at your leisure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also revealed at the Apple keynote today were &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt;

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple has officially announced the arrival of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-10-things-we-want-to-see-959280&quot;&gt;iCloud&lt;/a&gt;, its brand new cloud service. &lt;br /&gt;
In an unprecedented move, Apple revealed just what it would be unveiling at this year&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-wwdc-2011-what-to-expect-961016&quot;&gt;WWDC&lt;/a&gt; before the actual event – so we all knew that it was on the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;
Apple had trademarked the name 31 May, but what exactly Apple would allow you to stream was still unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
Rumours were that Apple had managed to get all the music labels on board, in a bid to bring true personal music streaming to the masses. &lt;br /&gt;
And here it is, the full video run-down of iCloud courtesy of our colleagues over at T3:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;width&quot; value=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;height&quot; value=&quot;236&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;playerID&quot; value=&quot;831083835001&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;playerKey&quot; value=&quot;AQ~~,AAAAukWyYDk~,FRklaGkzuHj0FGTHXTGMnbUV05Ybsbmz&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;isVid&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;isUI&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;dynamicStreaming&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;@videoPlayer&quot; value=&quot;980233829001&quot; /&gt;  &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
brightcove.createExperiences();
&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Steve Jobs took to the stage to announce the iCloud would indeed store your content and wirelessly push it to all your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
He also announced that every day content will be backed up on to iCloud and the service is completely free.&lt;br /&gt;
Jobs also noted that as of today, MobileMe - which cost $99 - is no more. &lt;br /&gt;
It will back up all your purchased music, books, photos and videos - as well as all your settings. In short: you can synch up all your iOS devices to iCloud and they will all have the same content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s a number of features with iCloud, including Documents in the Cloud. This is a Google Docs rival, where you can access all your documents uploaded to iCloud. If you edit them, then you edits will automatically synch.&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently we have all been waiting 10 years for this sort of functionality on a mobile device.&lt;br /&gt;
With Photostream, iCloud will allow the syncing of photos to the cloud. This is seen as separate album in your Photos, so it&#39;s not actually a different app - which is handy.&lt;br /&gt;
You can store the last 1,000 photos on your iOS device and all of them if you are using a Mac.&lt;br /&gt;
They stay in the cloud for 30 days, if you want to keep them on your device, then you move them to an album.&lt;br /&gt;
What this also means is that you can take a picture on your iPhone and it will be automatically available on your iPad. &lt;br /&gt;
And the last bit is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-heads-to-the-icloud-962769&quot;&gt;iTunes in the cloud&lt;/a&gt;. Yes, it&#39;s what we have all been waiting for. You will be able to have a single purchase go straight to multiple devices. Jobs is calling this &quot;a first in the music industry&quot;. Even though it is not.&lt;br /&gt;
While this part isn&#39;t exactly streaming all your music to your device, it will be interesting to see if this ease of downloading will stop people looking elsewhere for music.&lt;br /&gt;
But, there is also Apple&#39;s one more thing, which is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-match-brings-your-whole-music-collection-to-the-cloud-962771&quot;&gt;iTunes Match&lt;/a&gt; - this will match your entire iTunes library and puts it in the cloud. This costs $24.99 and all your songs will be upgraded to 256Kbps AAC DRM-free tunes.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s treading on the toes of Spotify but only lightly - this service only gives you your music in the cloud and not the millions of tracks you can get on Spotify.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s an intriguing prospect nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;
The iCloud UK release date is unknown but it will be in the US this Fall, which is unsurprisingly the same as iOS 5.&lt;br /&gt;

If your Mac won&#39;t switch on, what can you do? &lt;br /&gt;
If you have an iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro, try another lead, a different power outlet or the lead with a different device and swap the fuse. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, check if it&#39;s your external screen that&#39;s not on as opposed to the Mac - If none of this helps, try resetting the System Management Controller. &lt;br /&gt;
If this fails, the power supply in your Mac could have failed. Apple may replace it under warranty or AppleCare. If you have a notebook, check the battery&#39;s charged or plugged in. If the light on the connector is not coming on, plug the adapter into a different socket. If the adapter&#39;s working, resetting the SMC may help. &lt;br /&gt;
Still no joy? The power adapter could have failed. If you have AppleCare, take it back to Apple - if that doesn&#39;t help, something may be wrong inside your Mac. That&#39;s one for Apple to look at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;My Mac switches on but beeps at me or won&#39;t start up&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A beeping Mac suggests a RAM issue - have you recently upgraded? Are the chips slotted in correctly? Remove and reseat them. Unplug all but mouse and keyboard and restart. If your Mac boots normally, the external kit or its software may be at fault. Plug them in one at a time to identify the culprit. &lt;br /&gt;
When you have, uninstall its driver software, then reinstall it. If you&#39;re still having trouble, hold down Shift as you switch on your Mac to perform a Safe boot. &lt;br /&gt;
No luck? Turn off your Mac, hold Command+Option+P+R and switch on again. Release the keys when you hear the startup chime the second time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Disk utility&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.page3_grab2-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively pop in the OS X install DVD, restart holding C and open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Run the disk and permissions repairs, repeatedly, until you get the all-clear.&lt;br /&gt;
If it still won&#39;t boot, restart with your Applications Install disc in the drive and hold down D. Run the Apple Hardware Test. If it finds problems and the component is removable, remove it and see if this helps. &lt;br /&gt;
If the hardware seems fine, reinstall Mac OS X, but before you do, back up files in Target Disk mode. Boot from the OS X DVD. A last resort is to boot from the OS X DVD, use Disk Utility to wipe your drive and install OS X on the clean disk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;I&#39;ve forgotten my Mac account password. How can I log in?&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Password&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.page3_main2-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The main administrator can change passwords in System Preferences &amp;gt; Accounts. If you are the main administrator, try the Forgot Password button on the login pane.&lt;br /&gt;
In FileVault this button is labelled Reset Password. If none of this helps, restart with the OS X DVD, holding down C. In the Installer&#39;s Utilities menu, choose Reset Password. &lt;br /&gt;
If your Home folder was encrypted with FileVault, and you don&#39;t have the password, your Home folder&#39;s contents will be gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quick tip &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To back up your files in Target Disk mode, hold down T as you switch on your Mac until the FireWire icon appears on your screen. Then plug a FireWire cable between your Mac and another - yours will appear on its desktop as a removable drive. You can then copy your files off it and back them up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to control your Mac &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hold down these buttons at startup for the following functions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mouse/trackpad button:&lt;/b&gt; Eject CD/DVD &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;C:&lt;/b&gt; Boot from CD/DVD &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;T:&lt;/b&gt; Enter FireWire Target Disk Mode &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Option:&lt;/b&gt; Display startup disk selector &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Shift:&lt;/b&gt; Safe boot &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;X:&lt;/b&gt; Force Mac OS X to boot (if you&#39;ve got other OSes installed) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Command+V:&lt;/b&gt; Start in Verbose mode &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Command+S:&lt;/b&gt; Start in single user mode &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Command+Option+P+R:&lt;/b&gt; Reset the PRAM &lt;br /&gt;
Some of these won&#39;t work if you&#39;ve enabled a firmware password. If you want to boot from another drive, hold Option at startup. Type the password and press Return. To remove the password, boot from the OS X DVD choosing Firmware Password Utility from Utilities.&lt;br /&gt;

Scientists have developed a chip architecture that can detect and repair its own errors. &lt;br /&gt;
The appropriately named project, Cutting-edge Reconfigurable ICS for Stream Processing (CRISP), concedes that trying to create an infallible chip is a fool&#39;s errand, but the new self-healing chip could be the next best thing.&lt;br /&gt;
The chip works because its cores are dynamically reconfigurable – they can change what tasks they&#39;re carrying out as they go – and can put its redundant capacity to good use testing itself for any errors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Helpfulness and reliability&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;A key innovation is the Dependability Manager, a test generation unit which accesses the built-in, self-test scan chain to effectively perform production testing at run time,&quot; explained Gerard Rauwerda who coordinated the CRISP project. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;This determines which cores are working correctly.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
Once it knows which parts need attention, the device diverts ongoing work to the fully functional parts of the chip while it repairs the error-ridden areas to restore the entire chip to full working order. &lt;br /&gt;

What can you do when all of a sudden one of your apps no longer opens? &lt;br /&gt;
Have you checked it&#39;s the latest version of the app? If not, update it.&lt;br /&gt;
If it is, open your hard drive and go to Library/Preferences and find any .plist files related to that app. Drag them to your desktop. Do the same for the Users/youruser name/Library/Preferences folder.&lt;br /&gt;
If not, uninstall it. Don&#39;t just drag its icon to the Trash, but run its uninstaller or use a program such as AppDelete or CleanMyMac. Then restart your Mac and reinstall the app.&lt;br /&gt;
If not, it could be conflicting with something else on your Mac. So, back everything up, wipe your hard drive and reinstall OS X. Install the app again. If all&#39;s well, don&#39;t use Migration Assistant because this could reintroduce the problem - instead, reinstall your apps and copy back files manually from the backup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;I&#39;ve got a file I can&#39;t open! What can I do?&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Open with&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main.page4_grab_layout-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You&#39;re probably missing the app you need to view it. Does it have .docx or .wmv on the end of its name? This will help you pinpoint what kind of file it is, and therefore, what software you&#39;ll need to open it. &lt;br /&gt;
Do a search on the web for the file extension followed by the word &#39;Mac&#39; to find an app to open it. For media files, VLC is a good bet. &lt;br /&gt;
If you think one of your existing apps should be able to open the file, drag it onto the app&#39;s icon (either in your Dock or the Applications folder). This will attempt to open the document using your chosen app. If the app doesn&#39;t go dark, press Command+Option to force it to try.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;A file I&#39;ve been working on is now refusing to open!&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What error message are you seeing? If it&#39;s that it doesn&#39;t know what app to open the file with, right-click the icon, hover over Open With and see if you can use one of the apps there. &lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#39;t think any of these will do the trick, or the app you want isn&#39;t listed there, click Other… to browse your Applications folder to find the right one. If you can&#39;t find the app, it may have been deleted, so pop in the installer disc, or download it again. &lt;br /&gt;
The other possible error message is that a particular app is unable to open the file. If the wrong app is loading up, follow the above instructions to open it in the right program. But say the correct program is unable to load it - then the file is probably corrupted. &lt;br /&gt;
If so, the best option is to delve into your Time Machine backup and restore an earlier version. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;Spotlight can&#39;t find my file - but I know it exists!&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Open System Preferences and click Spotlight. In the Privacy tab, make sure the folder containing the file isn&#39;t in this exclusion list. If it is, select it and click the &#39;-&#39;. &lt;br /&gt;
Another cause of Spotlight failing to find files is that its database needs rebuilding. Drag your hard drive icon into the exclusion list, quit System Preferences. Then open it up, go back to the pane and select your hard drive. Click the &#39;-&#39; and Spotlight will re-index your disk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to recover accidentally deleted files &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Time machine&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.page4_boxout-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Have you got a backup, Time Machine or otherwise? If so, recover the file from there (open Time Machine, browse back to the file and click Restore). Some apps include auto-save and autorecovery features, which may be able to salvage something. &lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, you may be able to get your files back using special recovery software such as Prosoft&#39;s Data Rescue 3. To give the recovery app the best chance of success, run it as soon as possible after deleting the file. &lt;br /&gt;
Data Rescue 3 will scan for free and allow you to recover a single file under 10MB, but for the full functionality, it will set you back $100 (just over £60). You&#39;ll need to assess how much that lost file is worth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Quick tip&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you don&#39;t already use Time Machine to make regular backups of your Mac, go out and get yourself an external hard drive now! &lt;br /&gt;
Keeping backups will mean you can recover most things, should something go amiss. Set up Time Machine in System Preferences &amp;gt; Time Machine.&lt;br /&gt;

Google has found itself with a lawsuit on its hands over the Chromebook name, with ISYS Technologies saying the word is too close to some of its own trademarks.&lt;br /&gt;
The lawsuit has been set up because it has rights to ChromiumPC, a title it feels is being nabbed by Google with Chromebook.&lt;br /&gt;
ISYS Technologies has asked for a temporary restraining order on any manufacturer that is associated with Chromebook – this includes Google, Acer, Amazon.com, Best Buy and Samsung.&lt;br /&gt;
A statement from Kirton &amp;amp; McConkie, which is the lead attorney on the lawsuit sheds some light on Google and how it acquired the Chromebook name and also some information on Speedbook – the name Google originally wanted to use for its netbook range.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;When in Chrome&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;When Google&#39;s plans to use Speedbook for a new PC hardware product were derailed by the owner of another Speedbook mark in late 2010, Google switched its behind-the-scenes efforts to Chromebook for PC hardware products while delaying ISYS&#39; trademark registration by filing unnecessary extensions of time until Google publicly launched its new hardware PC products on 11 May,&quot; explained &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110606006489/en/ISYS-Technologies-Sues-Google-Partners-Claiming-Violation&quot;&gt;the statement.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;This causes damage and irreparable harm to ISYS. ISYS seeks an expedited review of the matters, invalidation of Google&#39;s claims to rights in the mark Chromium and an injunction to prevent the sale of computer hardware by Google bearing a mark confusingly similar to ChromiumPC, namely.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
The lawsuit is similar to what happened with Smartbook, a word Qualcomm &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/qualcomm-hits-back-in-battle-over-smartbook-name-666717&quot;&gt;wanted to use&lt;/a&gt; to describe a range of portable computers. This idea was scuppered by Smartbook AG as it forced legal action.&lt;br /&gt;
The whole affair came to a a close in February this year, after nearly two years of legal wrangling.&lt;br /&gt;

Although it&#39;s been rumoured for years that Apple will somehow finally fully embrace the cloud, it&#39;s only lately that it feels Cupertino&#39;s moving in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;
Steve Jobs took to the stage for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-wwdc-2011-what-to-expect-961016&quot;&gt;WWDC 2011&lt;/a&gt; keynote this evening and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-apple-s-streaming-service-announced-962649&quot;&gt;announced the service&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
iCloud will indeed store your content and wirelessly push it to all your devices. Apple says it&#39;s serious about the cloud and even showed pictures of the company&#39;s third data centre during the keynote.&lt;br /&gt;
You can check out T3&#39;s iCloud video here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Today it is a real hassle and very frustrating to keep all your information and content up-to-date across all your devices,&quot; said Steve Jobs, Apple&#39;s CEO.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;iCloud keeps your important information and content up to date across all your devices. All of this happens automatically and wirelessly, and because it&#39;s integrated into our apps you don&#39;t even need to think about it - it all just works.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Check out our full guide to iCloud features:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple says that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-apple-s-streaming-service-announced-962649&quot;&gt;iCloud will be completely free&lt;/a&gt; for 5GB of storage - it will be set up by default on new iOS 5 devices.&lt;br /&gt;
Users get up to 5GB of free storage for mail, documents and backup. Music, apps and books purchased from Apple, and the storage required by Photo Stream doesn&#39;t count towards this 5GB total.&lt;br /&gt;
You will be able to buy extra storage too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud release date&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
iCloud will shop at the same time as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt; in the Autumn, but it&#39;s available as a developer beta now, as is iOS 4.3.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud replaces MobileMe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
During the keynote Jobs also noted that as of today, MobileMe - which cost $99 - is no more. MobileMe apps have been rewritten to work with iCloud.&lt;br /&gt;
The former MobileMe services - Contacts, Calendar and Mail - have all been completely re-architected and rewritten to work seamlessly with iCloud. Users can share calendars with friends and family, and the ad-free push Mail account is hosted at &lt;a href=&quot;http://me.com/&quot;&gt;me.com&lt;/a&gt;. Your inbox and mailboxes are kept up-to-date across all your iOS devices and computers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud Documents in the Cloud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
there&#39;s a number of features with iCloud, including Documents in the Cloud. This is a Google Docs rival, where you can access all your documents uploaded to iCloud. If you edit them, then you edits will automatically sync.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud iTunes in the Cloud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-heads-to-the-icloud-962769&quot;&gt;iTunes is also being made available on iCloud&lt;/a&gt;, so you can share purchased songs on all your devices.&quot;You know, it&#39;s the same old story,&quot; said Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple. &quot;I buy something on my iPhone, and it&#39;s not on my other devices. I grab my iPod and it ain&#39;t there.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;For the songs you&#39;ve already bought, we&#39;ve added a purchased button. It shows the history of all the songs you&#39;ve bought on any device. I can download any song to any device by pushing that little cloud button.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It shows the history of all the songs you&#39;ve bought on any device. I can download any song to any device by pushing that little cloud button. At no additional charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;This is the first time you&#39;ve seen this in the music industry: multiple downloads to different devices for no charge. So in the future, it will push it to all of my devices.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
The files are high quality 256 kbps AAC, and it only works with music purchased from iTunes, so if you buy elsewhere for the cheaper prices, you won&#39;t be able to make use of the iTunes iCloud service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iCloud music&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mac/images/icloud_music-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud iTunes Match&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Music not purchased from iTunes can gain the same benefits by using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-match-brings-your-whole-music-collection-to-the-cloud-962771&quot;&gt;iTunes Match&lt;/a&gt;, a service that replaces your music with a 256 kbps AAC DRM-free version if Apple can match it to the over 18 million songs in the iTunes Store - so that means any rubbish&lt;br /&gt;
It makes the matched music available in minutes, and uploads only the small percentage of unmatched music. iTunes Match will be available this fall for a $24.99 annual fee - we&#39;ve no word on UK pricing as yet.&lt;br /&gt;
Reports are saying this is US only for now, but no doubt it will come to the UK at some point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud Photostream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As you might expect, iCloud will allow the syncing of photos to the cloud. This is just displayed as aseparate album in Photos, so it&#39;s not actually a different app - which is handy. Photos are stored on iCloud for 30 days, forever on your Mac or PC (of course) while the last 1,000 pictures can be stored on each of your iOS devices or Apple TV so they can then be moved elsewhere. Photostream doesn&#39;t count within your 5GB of storage.&lt;br /&gt;
Photostream automatically uploads the photos you take or import on any of your devices and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices and computers.&lt;br /&gt;
Photo Stream is built into the photo apps on all iOS devices, iPhoto on Macs, and saved to the Pictures folder on a PC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iCloud photostream&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/mac/images/icloud_photos-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud Contacts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Contacts are stored in the cloud and pushed to all devices. Changes are automatically replicated on your other devices. This sounds so much better than Google Sync.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud Calendars&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s also full calendaring support in iCloud - calendars can also be shared between users, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud backup&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
iCloud Backup automatically and securely backs up iOS devices to iCloud daily over Wi-Fi when you charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.&lt;br /&gt;
Backed up content includes purchased music, apps and books, Camera Roll (photos and videos), device settings and app data. If you replace your iOS device, just enter your Apple ID and password during setup and iCloud restores your new device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iCloud Storage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The service seamlessly stores all documents created using iCloud Storage APIs, and automatically pushes them to all your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
When you change a document on any device, iCloud automatically pushes the changes to all your devices. Apple&#39;s Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps already take advantage of iCloud Storage.&lt;br /&gt;
iCloud apps and books&lt;br /&gt;
The App Store and iBookstore now download purchased iOS apps and books to all your devices, not just the device they were purchased on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Want to look back? Check out the iCloud rumours we looked at before the event:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#39;s rumoured to have splashed out $4.5 million on the Cloud.com domain. The company is also said to be &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/rumour-apple-strikes-icloud-deals-with-music-labels-957368&quot;&gt;striking deals with a number of record labels&lt;/a&gt; (in stark contrast to the gung-ho approach taken by Google and Amazon for their respective cloud-based music services) and has even posted a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-job-posting-hints-at-icloud-streaming-service-956807&quot;&gt;job advert&lt;/a&gt; for a &#39;Media Streaming Engineering Manager&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
Latest rumours also suggest that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-to-be-free-to-mac-os-x-lion-users--961257&quot;&gt;iCloud could be free to Mac OS X Lion users&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Here are the 10 things we want to see from Apple when it unleashes iCloud:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. Cross-device support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#39;s often championed for its integrated approach. Apple kit isn&#39;t perfect, but it generally works well with other Apple kit, software and services. Therefore, when Apple&#39;s iCloud ambitions are revealed, we&#39;d like them to work with Macs and iOS devices, offering similar features to all (although we&#39;re not crazy enough to hope anything running less than the latest versions of Mac OS X or iOS will be supported).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2. iOS data back-up/restore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cloud services could be the means to detach iOS devices from PCs and Macs, finally making iPhones, iPods and iPads truly standalone units. You&#39;d be able to store data in the cloud and access it from a range of apps. &lt;br /&gt;
Apple should also back-up and enable you to restore iOS app data. It&#39;s absurd that when you delete an app or a game, your data and progress is gone for good - you should be able to optionally reinstate these things on an app reinstall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iPad&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/software/images/icloud/2-ipad-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;GET IT BACK:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Delete an app and your data disappears. With cloud-based data restore, this needn&#39;t happen in future&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3. Music locker&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#39;s iOS devices are hardly known for their generous storage, and now Macs are going the same way, embracing SSD. If you&#39;ve tons of music, chances are your iTunes library is the biggest folder on your Mac, and you can&#39;t fit much of your music on your iPhone. But if Apple can figure out what music you own and enable cloud-based access to it via iCloud, problem solved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4. Label participation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, any major shifts in how Apple deals with music will need label backing. Rumours suggest Apple&#39;s in talks with the &#39;big four&#39;, which should give Apple more options than its rivals. It remains to be seen whether labels would allow playback of content not purchased through iTunes, but remember when DRM was removed and iTunes enabled you to &#39;upgrade&#39; your tracks for a small cost? Perhaps Apple could do the same again with iCloud - a few pence to enable you to play a track from the cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;5. Music streaming&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For people who don&#39;t really want to buy music but still enjoy listening to it, Spotify&#39;s more appealing than iTunes. While Spotify is still struggling to expand into the USA, Apple already has worldwide presence and ongoing discussions with labels. Perhaps another string to its music bow will be a streaming subscription service to complement a music locker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;6. Movie and TV streaming&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, the movie industry has been even more bone-headed than music labels when it comes to new technology. Therefore, we&#39;re not holding our breath about Apple announcing movie and TV-show streaming through its iCloud services, but this would be great to have, again dealing with storage issues on iOS devices and SSD-equipped Macs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;7. Fast media playback&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with cloud-based media playback is speed - too often, you have to wait while files buffer. Rumours suggest http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-music-streaming-to-be-sped-up-by-local-storage--957549 Apple might deal with this problem by storing small portions of files locally on your device. Playback would start locally and then sync with a downloaded file, reducing caching problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;8. Improved existing services&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&#39;s been pretty bad at unveiling new online services and letting them die a long, lingering death. We like the concepts behind the likes of iWork.com, Ping and Game Center, but the execution in all of them is lacking; a new iCloud offering would be a great excuse to beef up and integrate these services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Game center&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/computing/software/images/icloud/8-game-center-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;NEW AND IMPROVED:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Unveiling new cloud services gives Apple a good excuse to improve mediocre existing offerings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;9. Document storage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When using iOS devices, moving documents between them is a pain. Even worse, if you want to move something between your Mac/PC and an iOS device, you have to use email or hideous iTunes File Sharing. &lt;br /&gt;
Many apps now get around such problems by using Dropbox for storage, but Apple doesn&#39;t control this and it&#39;s not fully integrated. It&#39;d therefore be great to see Apple provide a service of the same quality in iCloud. (Sorry, iDisk - you just don&#39;t cut it.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;10. Optional sync/merge &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, if Apple offers even a fraction of these things with iCloud, it must enable users to more easily manage their computers and devices, along with the information on them. &lt;br /&gt;
You should be able to easily sync and merge app collections, music, movies and documents. Using iOS devices and Macs is typically simple and intuitive; Apple must bring similar thinking to the complexities of document and media management across a number of devices and computers.&lt;br /&gt;

Many identify Gnome as being the face of Linux, because most early distros (and many current ones, of course) adopted the desktop in order to put bells and whistles on the ever-maturing kernel at the back. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome 3 is radically different from previous releases. It&#39;s got a polished user interface that&#39;s been tuned for usability and a slicker code base to please application developers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome Shell is a new interface that replaces several key components of the desktop, such as the panel and the menus, and influences how you switch tasks, move between windows and more. Along with GTK 3 and the Clutter-based Mutter compositing manager, which serves to replace Metacity, the desktop as a whole has come a long way since the components started popping up in the repositories of many distros. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So without further ado, here&#39;s everything you need to know about the sparkling new desktop in town. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gnome 3.0 development &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Gnome 3 desktop has been in the works for quite a while. The release team first announced to the world that they were working on Gnome 3 at the Gnome Users And Developers European Conference (GUADEC) in Istanbul back in 2008. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the conference, several developers started evaluating the areas in Gnome 2 that needed to be redesigned for a pleasurable user experience. The discussions led to the Boston User Experience hackfest in October that year. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.desktop-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Desktop&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vincent Untz, who was on the release team at the time, blogged that the designers and developers at the conference &quot;tried to forget the current Gnome and see what we thought would make sense&quot;. They looked at several areas, such as window management, file management and desktop widgets, from a designer&#39;s point of view.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In an interview on the Gnome Journal, William Jon McCann, who contributes to several key areas of Gnome, notes that, at the hackfest in Boston, even before any kind of process emerged there was an intentional design-first ethic to the project. That&#39;s where the first mock-up of the Gnome 3 desktop was worked on. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It previewed a number of desktop refinements that are the highlights of Gnome 3, such as the integrated desktop search and a graphical interface for moving windows between workspaces. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stepping out of the shell &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the hackfest, one of the key areas the team decided to re-think was window management. In the current Gnome release, tasks such as application launching, window management and task switching are handled by Metacity. This will now be delegated to Gnome Shell. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Put simply, Gnome Shell refreshes the visual experience of the desktop. Six months after the project began under the leadership of Owen Taylor, William Jon McCann joined as design lead. &quot;The first thing I did when I started working on the Gnome Shell project was read. I spent a month doing nothing but reviewing usability research into desktop computing,&quot; says McCann. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of just putting gloss over the existing desktop, the developers designed it after analysing fundamental usage patterns. Taylor outlines some of the questions they wanted to address with the new desktop: &quot;How can we provide a workflow that assists the user in efficiently moving between different tasks, rather than making them do busy-work to manage their files and applications? How should the desktop be different if the user is spending most of their time in the web browser and chat program, rather than in word processor documents and spreadsheets?&quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allan Day, a member of the design team, adds that, &quot;the Gnome 3 desktop was designed so that it would be usable and recognisable across a whole range of computing devices&quot;, which is why Gnome 3 is designed to work on everything from the limited real estate of a netbook to a touchscreen laptop or multicore desktop. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome Shell uses compositing and is integrated with Mutter, which is an OpenGL-based window and compositing manager that leverages the Clutter toolkit. At the Boston summit, there were several presentations on using the Clutter toolkit in a range of Gnome applications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It was there that Frederico Mena-Quintero presented his journal-based file management tool, now called Zeitgeist, which is an integral part of Gnome 3&#39;s Activity Journal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome 3 was set to be released in September 2010, but in July that year the team pushed back the release to March 2011. By the time Gnome 2.32 was released, version 3&#39;s release wasn&#39;t expected until April 2011. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whistlestop tour of the Gnome 3 desktop &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Panel &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The main desktop is noticeably different and has made great strides towards being more newbie-proof. You don&#39;t have to be a veteran Gnome user to notice that instead of two panels, the Gnome 3 desktop now features just one at the top. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.activities-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Activities and panel&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The panel has rearranged the clock and notification icons, but the menus for applications, places and system have been replaced by the solitary Activities menu. Active applications are listed next to this menu, and offer app-specific tasks, as well as options to close the application and open a new window. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Activities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where we can see most obviously the much-talked-about innovation of Gnome Shell. Activities offers you different ways to switch from one activity or task to another. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can enable the Activities view by clicking the Activities menu or just moving your mouse to the top-left corner of the screen. The Activities view makes the workspaces more intuitive. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In it, you get a preview of all the open windows, as well as running applications, across workspaces. You can drag new applications, documents and windows between workspaces. It also lets you close multiple windows without having to switch to them. By default, you have two workspaces and can add more as required. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Activities view also integrates search and browse functionality, which behaves similarly to Gnome Do and is useful in case the application or file you&#39;re after isn&#39;t immediately visible. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Apps-dash&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like all aspects of Gnome Shell, the Applications view is designed to work well with touchscreens. The applications icons can be used to launch programs, and currently running apps are indicated by the addition of a glow underneath the name. Clicking on its name will either switch to the last used window of a running app or launch a new instance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.apps_dash-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Apps-Dash and notifications&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another prominent feature is the dashboard on the left side of the screen, which lists currently running applications and also acts as a quick launch for favourite apps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4. Notifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides these always-on display features, Gnome 3 has also had some more subtle user interface redesigns. One of them is the new notification system, which has been developed to communicate events without distracting you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.notifications-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Notifications&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The notifications appear at the bottom of the screen in order to avoid the usability issues encountered with the notifications system in earlier Gnome releases. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new Gnome desktop also integrates messaging into the desktop. You can now reply to IM messages, and get a threaded view of a conversation, without launching an app or switching away from your current window. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&#39;s not just the desktop that&#39;s had an overhaul for Gnome 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It might look different, but at its heart Gnome 3 has the same set of useful applications that it&#39;s had for quite a few releases. The apps have been refined, polished and upgraded to the new GTK 3 toolkit. The Nautilus file manager has been redesigned and features a new dialog box for connecting to remote servers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.gnome2app-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Default apps&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There&#39;s also a new cleaner toolbar, a smarter status bar that appears only when called for, and a sidebar that eases navigation by organising your locations more intuitively. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The zippy vanilla text editor in Gnome, Gedit, features a new search pop-up. It can now open and save compressed files, and boasts a smarter spell-checker, which will also point out spelling errors in comments when editing programming code. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides these visual changes, there have been several behind-the-scenes alterations as well, such as to the Gedit documentation, which has been rewritten in the Mallard format. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mallard is a markup language that makes it easier for developers to write help documentation for their software. The Evince document viewer also uses Mallard for its documentation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evince supports several document formats, including PDF, DJVU, TIFF, CBR, CBZ and so on, plus the XML Paper Specification (XPS) format. The File menu and the toolbar have a new Open Container Folder action button, which calls on Nautilus to launch the folder containing the document you&#39;re currently viewing. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The user interface for Cheese, the app for taking pictures and videos from your webcam, has been rewritten from scratch in Vala. Cheese also features over 30 user-configurable effects, which can be previewed live. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been several under-the-hood changes to the Epiphany web browser to make it zippier. It has a new non-intrusive download manager and a floating status bar to give pages more browser real estate. The feature of grouping tabs by site previously provided by the Tab Groups extension is now built into the browser itself. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Evolution personal information manager, which provides email, calendar, address book and task list functions, has a new Picture Gallery option in the View menu. Printing the Work View in Evolution&#39;s calendar is at last possible, an omission first reported in 2003. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One app that&#39;s received a lot of enhancements is the Empathy instant messenger. It&#39;s tightly integrated and a core component of the new Gnome desktop. Most of the changes in Empathy are usability improvements. It prompts you for a password only when it&#39;s needed, rather than requiring you to save it when you create the account. New incoming calls are now automatically rejected when you&#39;re on another call. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gnome 2 and fallback mode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the core Gnome applications are better integrated into the new Gnome 3 desktop, your favourite Gnome apps will work just fine. According to Sri Ramkrishna, an editor of the Gnome Journal, a Gnome 2 application can exist in a Gnome 3 environment. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.fallback-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Fallback mode&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We continue to maintain the same GTK API from GTK 2, although they&#39;re deprecated while providing newer API for application programmers to use. The advantage is that application developers can move to Gnome 3 at their discretion,&quot; he says. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since Gnome 3 is not only a visual refresh but also provides facilities such as more flexible size allocation, new widgets and so on, you can expect more apps to be ported to the new desktop. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome 3 requires hardware-accelerated graphics, which could be a problem for some people. If the Gnome session manager detects insufficient graphics capabilities, the desktop will automatically switch to a fallback mode, which uses Gnome Panel, Metacity and notification-daemon instead of Gnome Shell, but they&#39;ll be configured to behave like they do in Gnome Shell. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gnome 3 FAQ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I test Gnome 3?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best way to try Gnome 3 is via the official live CD hosted at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnome3.org/&quot;&gt;www.gnome3.org&lt;/a&gt;. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OpenSUSE-based live CD. You can burn the live CD ISO image onto a blank CD and boot from it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other way is to transfer the image onto a USB stick using the dd command. Assuming your USB drive is /dev/sdc, make sure it isn&#39;t mounted, and use: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;# dd if=&lt;path-to-ISO-image&gt;Gnome_3.i686-0.1.0- Build1.1.iso of=/dev/sdc &lt;/code&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently, you won&#39;t be able to experience the full Gnome 3 desktop if you boot the CD image in VirtualBox, even if the 3D acceleration is enabled. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will my favourite Gnome 2 application work on Gnome 3? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gnome 3 already bundles a set of core applications. You can install any Gnome 2 app on Gnome 3 that won&#39;t look out of place on the desktop. Still, if you have a custom GTK-based app, it&#39;s best to try it out in the sandboxed live environment. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are there no applets? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When brainstorming Gnome 3, the developers and designers reviewed the core functionalities provided by the most useful applets, such as the clock, calendar, show desktop icon and so on. Since Gnome Shell doesn&#39;t omit any of these essential functionalities when in use, they decided to replace the applets with this. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where have the controls to minimise windows gone? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lack of minimise (and maximise) buttons in the window title bars in Gnome 3 initially strikes you as being a bug, but it&#39;s actually a feature! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the design team, the buttons make little sense on the Gnome 3 desktop since there&#39;s nothing to minimise the windows to. There&#39;s no dock or window list. The team debated whether they should instead replace the minimise button with a button to hide the windows, but ruled against it because communicating the location of the hidden windows would just add complexity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, in the new desktop, if you want to switch to a particular window, select it from the Activities overview. You can drag windows to resize them and double-click to maximise. Removing the two buttons also adds to the touch-friendly nature of the whole desktop, since now you won&#39;t accidentally maximise a window you want to close. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wait a minute, no dock? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we said above, the omission of a dock doesn&#39;t actually take away any functionality, and in fact is the basis for the distraction-free theme of Gnome 3. Now you can switch windows easily when you want to, and avoid them interfering with the task at hand. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a bonus, the removal of the window list and dock made the bottom panel unnecessary. Taking it out freed up more real estate on the desktop, which is a luxury on small-screen devices such as netbooks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I see the sense in that, but why are the customisation options so limited? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/Linux%20Format/LXF%20145/LXF145.feat_gnome3.system_settings-420-90.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;System settings&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the design goals of Gnome 3 is to minimise the number of settings and preferences. This has divided opinions in the open source community, since many power users don&#39;t like decisions to be made for them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Control Center in Gnome 3 has been completely redesigned, including the contents of every settings panel. One of the settings that&#39;s been restricted is theming, although changing the desktop background is still possible using the Background panel, which can now pull in images from Flickr. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another default that&#39;s generated a lot of debate is the power setting, which suspends the laptop when the lid is closed, and doesn&#39;t provide an option to change that behaviour. You can read some more &lt;a href=&quot;http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/2011/02/03/on-laptop-lids-and-power-settings/&quot;&gt;in-depth commentary about that here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this is very much a work-in-progress. The Gnome 3 website mentions that &quot;a powerful extensions system is also planned for a future release that will give users and developers exciting customisation possibilities&quot;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So where&#39;s GConf? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The GConf system, used for storing configuration settings for the Gnome desktop and apps running on top of it, has been replaced by GSettings. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I migrate from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3, what happens to my settings? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the GSettings hackfest back in April 2010, the developers agreed upon a mechanism to migrate the settings from GConf to GSettings. GSettings hacker Matthias Clasen explains the workflow. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, the applications that are interested in migrating user settings from GConf to GSettings install a conversion file, which is a keyfile in the directory /usr/share/GConf/ gsettings. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[org.gnome.mousetweaks] &lt;br /&gt;click-type-window-style=/desktop/gnome/accessibility/mouse/button_layout &lt;br /&gt;animate-cursor=/desktop/gnome/accessibility/mouse/animate_ cursor &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This keyfile is picked by the gsettings-data-convert tool that&#39;s installed by GConf and started automatically at login. The tool reads the file and copies data from the user&#39;s GConf database to the GSettings. It then keeps track of what conversions it&#39;s already done in ~/.local/share/gsettings-data-convert. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The limitation of this process is that it can only handle simple key types, such as strings, integers, floats, booleans and lists of strings or integers. Clasen explains that during development they discovered it wasn&#39;t a good idea to convert user settings for keys that aren&#39;t exposed in the user interface. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If advanced users want to tweak these settings, they&#39;re still able to do so from the command line. For example, if you want to change the theme, you can do it with the gsettings command line tool: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme &#39;Clearlooks&#39; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Um, so can I still use Gnome 2? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure you can. Well, at least for the time being. According to the Gnome developers, some parts of Gnome 2 were difficult to maintain and they don&#39;t plan to do so for several parts of the Gnome 2 branch following the release of Gnome 3. Still, the Gnome 2 desktop is quite stable and won&#39;t disappear off your distro&#39;s mirrors any time soon. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alright then, so how do I install Gnome 3? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Components of the Gnome 3 desktop have been in the testing repos of major distros for a while now. By the time you have this issue in your hands, Gnome 3 will have been released. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For detailed installation instructions, take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnome3.org/&quot;&gt;Gnome 3 website&lt;/a&gt;. Add the relevant repositories, fire up your distro&#39;s package manager, get yourself a mojito and enjoy the shiny new desktop!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img width=&#39;1&#39; height=&#39;1&#39; src=&#39;http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/669/f/415074/s/15a9f424/mf.gif&#39;

This is a massive hit to RIM, which prides itself on BBM for BlackBerry, and it is also puts the iPhone 4 in firm contention as a business phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/apple-ios-5-coming-to-iphone-3gs-and-older-ipads-962736&quot;&gt;Apple iOS 5 coming to iPhone 3GS and older iPads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple has confirmed that the new version of its software, iOS 5, will run across the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/iphone-3gs-610078/review&quot;&gt;iPhone 3GS&lt;/a&gt;, iPod touch third and fourth gen and both the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/ipad-2-935199/review&quot;&gt;iPad 2&lt;/a&gt; and the original.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iCloud&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jobs came back on stage to talk up &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-10-things-we-want-to-see-959280&quot;&gt;iCloud&lt;/a&gt;, saying &quot;I&#39;m really excited about this&quot; (we wanted him to say &quot;here&#39;s something I&#39;m not quite sure about and it might be a bit crappy&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;iCloud, says Jobs, is all about demoting the PC and Mac to being &quot;a device&quot;, ending syncing hassles, so all your stuff can live in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/to-the-cloud-cloud-computing-explained-942887&quot;&gt;the cloud&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So it&#39;ll cost you lots of money, right?

Yep, and MobileMe - which cost $99 - is over. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-heads-to-the-icloud-962769&quot;&gt;iTunes heads to the iCloud&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple has unveiled its plans for iTunes in its new iCloud service, detailing how users will be able to access any song they&#39;ve ever purchased through iTunes on any and all of their iOS devices – at no additional cost. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/itunes-match-brings-your-whole-music-collection-to-the-cloud-962771&quot;&gt;iTunes Match brings your whole music collection to the cloud&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apple has announced a new deal to bring your entire music library to the cloud and make it available on any iOS device you have synced. Spotify, you should have inked those US deals a long time ago...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-10-things-we-want-to-see-959280&quot;&gt;iCloud: all the latest details&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the features, in one quick guide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Below are our predictions that we wrote leading up to the event. Read on to see whether we were correct.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New hardware? Probably not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple doesn&#39;t usually tell us what Steve Jobs will introduce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; While it&#39;s nice to imagine a One More Thing where Jobs unveils a solar-powered iPad that can turn base metals into gold, the detail in the PR announcement suggests that Apple&#39;s trying to manage expectations here. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This one&#39;s about the software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iCloud&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rumours were right: iCloud is Apple&#39;s new streaming service. Will it deliver some, all or none of the items &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-10-things-we-want-to-see-959280&quot;&gt;on our wish list&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The music locker and music streaming appear to be a given, with Businessweek reporting that it will scan your iTunes library and let you access the same songs from any Apple device. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OS X Lion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&#39;ve been excited about this for ages: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-what-you-need-to-know-902325&quot;&gt;Lion promises&lt;/a&gt; to bring the best iPad ideas back to the Mac, with full-screen, autosaving apps, more multi-touch, a brand new version of Mail and file versioning. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Factor in AirDrop wireless sharing, Safari&#39;s new Reading List, the new Resume feature, Mission Control and Launchpad and you&#39;ve got enough to keep Steve Jobs saying &quot;boom&quot; for days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iOS 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&#39;re expecting a major upgrade of Apple&#39;s iPod, iPad and iPhone OS in the form of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/apple/computing/mobile-computing/mobile-phones/phone-and-communications/ios-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt;, although we don&#39;t expect to get our hands on it before September. iCloud integration is a given, and it&#39;ll be interesting to see if the purported &quot;deep voice control&quot; makes an appearance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Improved notifications should remove one of the more annoying things about iOS, and it&#39;s possible that Spaces and Widgets will make their merry way from OS X to iOS. Bad news for iPhone 3GS owners, though: that model&#39;s expected to drop off the iOS Happy List.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&#39;re sure some of you are doing the Sad Mac Face at the apparent lack of hardware announcements, but if you take a step back and look at the combination of iCloud, iOS and OS X Lion you&#39;re looking at something really, really big. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After all, these are really major changes to Apple&#39;s desktop and mobile OSes that blur the line between Macs and iPod/Phone/Pad and connect everything to the cloud. And that&#39;s much more interesting than an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/iphone-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-721534&quot;&gt;iPhone 4S or iPhone 5&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img width=&#39;1&#39;

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-wwdc-2011-all-the-latest-news-961016&quot;&gt;WWDC keynote&lt;/a&gt; was ostensibly an equally balanced affair, with Apple providing insight into the near future of two equally important operating systems: Mac OS X for Apple computers, and iOS for Apple portable systems.&lt;br /&gt;
However, on closer inspection, it&#39;s clear that the two systems are no longer afforded equal billing. In fact, the word &#39;Mac&#39; was rarely mentioned with regard to the desktop operating system and Apple CEO Steve Jobs was clear about Macs effectively being &#39;relegated&#39; to becoming &#39;just another device&#39; that can happily work with Apple&#39;s new cloud service, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/icloud-all-the-latest-details-959280&quot;&gt;iCloud&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s too soon to say that Apple is about to knife Mac OS X and mount its big cat heads on the Cupertino HQ&#39;s walls, while iOS looks on nonchalantly. &lt;br /&gt;
But it is clear that Apple sees its future as being increasingly away from its history in traditional personal computing. &lt;br /&gt;
Jobs himself said as much when he recently spoke of the post-PC era, and with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-all-the-latest-details-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt;, Apple&#39;s making good on that claim. iOS 5 in combination with Apple&#39;s iCloud service finally detaches the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad from its oddly symbiotic relationship with iTunes on a Mac or PC. &lt;br /&gt;
Come this autumn, new devices won&#39;t need iTunes to activate at all, nor even to share and restore data. Instead, you&#39;ll take your device out of the box and set it up wirelessly; you&#39;ll then have the option, if you&#39;ve previously used an iOS device, of restoring data from iCloud. &lt;br /&gt;
And iCloud also hugely changes working with documents on iOS, making it simple to store content and push it to various devices. &lt;br /&gt;
So far, so Dropbox, you might be thinking (and, to some extent, that&#39;s fair enough), but the point is that iOS devices and the apps installed on them can now be rid of iTunes, Macs and PCs entirely. &lt;br /&gt;
They will by the end of 2011 truly be independent devices, with increasingly powerful and capable apps running on a system largely devoid of the complexity of computing platforms bogged down by years of history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Lion&#39;s share&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to what Apple is now officially branding &#39;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-features-explained-959299&quot;&gt;OS X Lion&lt;/a&gt;&#39; - note the lack of &#39;Mac&#39; in that title - it&#39;s perhaps telling that the majority of new standout features aren&#39;t extensions of the Mac experience; instead, they&#39;re attempts to make the Mac more like iOS. &lt;br /&gt;
Bar Mission Control, which is akin to Exposé and Spaces being smashed together with a hammer, you get Launchpad (the iOS springboard), full-screen apps (like on iOS), a Mac App Store (which will even include the only means of installing Lion, which itself is effectively afforded &#39;app&#39; status), a streamlined Mail, far more emphasis on multi-touch gestures, auto-save and app resume.&lt;br /&gt;
The take-home here is that OS X is increasingly becoming a transitional operating system, in part to get consumers hooked on the iOS way of doing things, sending them to where Apple really wants them: iOS devices. &lt;br /&gt;
Counter arguments typically centre on the pro space: you can&#39;t run Photoshop on an iPad (although you can bet Adobe&#39;s working on that, if it has any sense) and you need a Mac for high-end video, audio and programming work. &lt;br /&gt;
But that doesn&#39;t help the platform&#39;s future; instead, we&#39;re looking at the Mac eventually existing in an increasingly niche &#39;workhorse&#39; space, right up until iOS devices are &#39;powerful&#39; enough to take over high-end tasks, too. &lt;br /&gt;
With Apple iterating iOS devices and iOS itself surprisingly quickly, this switchover may come sooner than you think, and it&#39;s likely that this year&#39;s WWDC keynote is the tipping point - the date people will look back on as the moment Apple &#39;cut the cord&#39;, let iOS off on its own adventures, and started the gradual long-term decline of the Mac in favour of its touchscreen-based offspring.&lt;br /&gt;

Apple has officially unveiled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/ios-5-rumours-what-you-need-to-know-940484&quot;&gt;iOS 5&lt;/a&gt;, offering loads of new features that seem a little similar to Google&#39;s Android UI.&lt;br /&gt;
The first update is for notifications, with push notifications now aggregated in a pull-down menu available at the top of the screen... much like the system used for Android. This is also accessible from the lock screen, with a simple swipe gesture taking you straight to the relevant app.&lt;br /&gt;
These notifications will pop up at the top of the display in full-screen mode, but are not persistent, meaning they&#39;ll dismiss themselves after a few seconds if you&#39;re too into your current Words with Friends war.&lt;br /&gt;
If all these pesky words are too much for you, why not try the snazzy video run-down of the new features that our colleagues over at T3 have put together:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;width&quot; value=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;height&quot; value=&quot;236&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;playerID&quot; value=&quot;831083835001&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;playerKey&quot; value=&quot;AQ~~,AAAAukWyYDk~,FRklaGkzuHj0FGTHXTGMnbUV05Ybsbmz&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;isVid&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;isUI&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;dynamicStreaming&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;@videoPlayer&quot; value=&quot;979666259001&quot; /&gt;  &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
brightcove.createExperiences();
&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bouncing onto the News Stand&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Magazines are going to get their own section of the new iOS 5 launch, bringing with it a dedicated home screen pop-up from the app icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;iOS 5&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/iPhone/iOS%205/ios5_newstand-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This means that your new subscriptions are automatically downloaded to the phone and available offline, with more titles being announced each day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Twitter integration&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple clearly thinks Twitter has become mainstream enough to be part of its iFamily, with a &#39;one click&#39; option for applications to let you use Twitter functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
All you&#39;ll need to do is sign in through the Settings menu and any app can request integration with your Twitter account, meaning no more constant signing in to every new application you download - meaning Twitter is set for a big boost in app love.&lt;br /&gt;
Twitter will get some strong integration across the iOS device, with the ability to Tweet from the Camera, Photos, Safari and Maps applications - and like Android, Twitter contacts can be added into the Contacts menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Safari Reader - nothing but the words&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Safari has been given some big upgrade love with the new iOS 5 - the big one being the new Safari Reader.&lt;br /&gt;
This function lives in the address bar, and turns any web page into a long column of text for easier parsing. This text can then be emailed in its entirety, in a move that will please website owners the world over.&lt;br /&gt;
Tabbed browsing is now supported too, as a feature that will probably suit iPad users more than iPhone ones, and Tweeting directly from the browser is now supported too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Geofencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Reminders might not seem like much of an update for iOS 5 - after all, it&#39;s just prettier versions of lists of things you have to do.&lt;br /&gt;
But add in things like time, date and location notifications (meaning you can set up a &#39;geofence&#39; according to Apple that will prod you to do something when you leave a certain zone) and you can see this is something that might actually add in some cool functionality - plus it will sync across other apps like iCal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Camera updates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple is claiming that its camera is one of the most oft-used pieces of hardwaer on sites like Flickr, and has updated the functionality accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
The big one is the addition of a camera icon on the lock screen, meaning you can shave all-important seconds off the snapping time if you see something you want to capture.&lt;br /&gt;
Plus you can use the volume up button to take pictures. We know, a dedicated camera button for the iPhone! Wishes clearly DO come true.&lt;br /&gt;
Extra photo editing software for easy cropping and enhancement has been added in to iOS 5, and pinching to zoom will, well, zoom in on photos when you&#39;re trying to capture the perfect pic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mail movement&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Next up in the Apple iOS overhaul is the Mail application - with new elements like draggable addresses so you can pop them across from To to Cc to Bcc.&lt;br /&gt;
Flagging and full-searchable messages have been added in too, plus rich text formatting for easier interaction with your e-mails.&lt;br /&gt;
A built in dictionary makes it easier to keep your spelling under control, and for the iPad thumb users: a split keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;
Simply grabbing it with your thumbs and sliding upwards will split it in two, making it easier to tap out the emails more speedily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Updates go computer-free&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s right - Apple is cutting the cord and taking the computer out of the equation with the new iOS 5 update. You won&#39;t need to tether your phone or iPad straight after purchase any more, and all updates will be delivered over the air.&lt;br /&gt;
Apple claims this is because many users just want to use the iPad as their primary computing device, so interacting with the Calendar or Photos is now all done on device if you so wish - with wireless iTunes syncing on offer too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Game Center gets all social&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ever wanted more friends to play with? Well, Apple is pushing the notion of friend discovery with the Game Center update, offering you the chance to see the scores of friends&#39; friends too.&lt;br /&gt;
Gamer profiles have been updated to include photos as well, plus turn-based gaming is baked right into the application for more responsive gaming.&lt;br /&gt;
You can also purchase games directly from the Center, and Apple is claiming over 50 million users already, with achievement points added in - directly competing with the likes of Xbox (which got a sneaky mention for having fewer users on Xbox Live despite being around for eight years).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BBM? No, it&#39;s iMessage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The final flourish from Apple with the new iOS 5 is the addition of iMessage, a BlackBerry Messenger-a-like application that lets you send messages to other iOS users.&lt;br /&gt;
The new application supports a multitude of features, including the ability to send pictures, videos or contacts, and also start a group message too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Apple ios 5 finally launches&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/iPhone/iOS%205/ios5_imessage-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Real-time notifications mean you won&#39;t have to wait to see if someone is bothering to reply to your missives, and read receipts mean the lazy among us have lost the &#39;oh, I didn&#39;t see it&#39; excuse now.&lt;br /&gt;
Apple is promising hundreds of new features with the new iOS 5 unveiling, with the likes of full iPad TV mirroring without wires and new gestures to flick between applications on offer too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;iOS 5 release date&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the important question: when is the new iOS 5 going to be launched? If you&#39;re a developer, it&#39;s good news - the iOS 5 SDK is available now and being seeded as you read this.&lt;br /&gt;
Other users will have to hunker down and wait for a bit unfortunately, with Apple offering an Autumn (or &#39;Fall&#39; if you love US speak) release date for the new iOS 5.&lt;br /&gt;
The new software will come to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/apple-iphone-3gs-610078/review&quot;&gt;iPhone 3GS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/apple-iphone-4-694980/review&quot;&gt;iPhone 4&lt;/a&gt;, iPad and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/apple-ipad-2-935199/review&quot;&gt;iPad 2&lt;/a&gt; - plus the third and fourth generation iPod touch clan.&lt;br /&gt;

After a demo in February and a preview version too, we&#39;ve now got &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/new-os-x-10-7-lion-features-shown-off-by-apple-962700&quot;&gt;full details on Apple&#39;s new OS&lt;/a&gt; from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-wwdc-2011-what-to-expect-961016&quot;&gt;Apple Worldwide Developers&#39; Conference&lt;/a&gt; taking place this week in San Francisco&lt;br /&gt;
The OS was originally announced back in October 2010, OS X 10.7 Lion has taken some of what makes iOS great and updated for the desktop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/apple-announces-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-with-app-store-902218&quot;&gt;Announcing Lion at the Autumn 2010 keynote&lt;/a&gt;, Steve Jobs said the new OS would bring features developed for iOS back to the Mac. &quot;We started with Mac OS X, repurposed it for the iPhone and used it in the iPad as well,&quot; he explained. &quot;Now we&#39;re bringing some of its ideas back to the Mac.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#39;s announcement sees over 250 new features added to the OS, with Apple&#39;s Phil Schiller showing off ten key features at WWDC today, including fullscreen applications and multi-touch gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Mac os x lion&quot; src=&quot;http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.news_feat.lion_mba13-420-100.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So what OS X 10.7 features will we see?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;MacOS X 10.7 Lion UK release date&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Mac OS X Lion 10.7 release date is in July and is available from the Mac AppStore as a 4GB download to all your authorised Macs. Yep, that&#39;s right - MacOS X goes disc-free!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;MacOS X 10.7 Lion UK price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
OS X Lion will cost $29.99 in the US. We&#39;re not yet sure what theMacOS X 10.7 Lion UK pricing will be, but we&#39;d expect it to cost £29.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;MacOS X 10.7 Lion multi-touch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lion will be fully multi-touch compatible - all Macs now have multi-touch trackpads while for desktop Macs there&#39;s also the Magic Trackpad of course. Mac sales are three quarters notebooks at the moment. The scrollbars in Mac OS X Lion.&lt;br /&gt;
Scrollbars simply disappear when you are using gestures, while there&#39;s tap-to-zoom, pinching and two-finger swiping. Apple&#39;s Phil Schiller says it works &quot;with an incredible, physical realism never been possible in a PC operating system before.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is inspired by iOS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s a new Launchpad in iOS - this is an app launcher that works just like the homescreen in iOS.When you open Launchpad, open windows fade away to be replaced by a grid of application icons, just like you see on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. You can rearrange their position by dragging icons to different locations, and group them in virtual folders. And as with iOS, multiple pages of apps can be navigated with a swipe gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion fullscreen apps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another feature making its way from iOS to Mac OS is fullscreen applications. With a single click, apps written to take advantage of this feature can fill the entire screen, with no borders or distractions. You can swipe between fullscreen applications and the desktop to use your apps that are not being viewed fullscreen. &lt;br /&gt;
Naturally, iLife and OS X-native apps such as iCal, iPhoto, Preview and Mail will have a fullscreen option, and system-wide support allows third party developers to include the feature in their own applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Mission Control&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Mission Control combines Exposé, Spaces and Dashboard into a single feature, giving an overview of everything that&#39;s open on your Mac. Mission Control groups open windows according to the application in which they&#39;re running, making it much easier to find what you&#39;re looking for. As such, thumbnails of Spaces-style virtual desktops and fullscreen apps are shown across the top of the screen, along with the Dashboard. You can swipe between apps even in full screen and exit them using a control in the top right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion auto-save&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The way OS X saves your work has undergone a revision, with two new features added for Lion. Instead of pressing Command+S every couple of minutes, saving is automatic in OS X 10.7. &lt;br /&gt;
It does more than simply save a backup copy as you go, like Microsoft Word and TextEdit do already. Instead, it saves the changes that have been made to a document instead of saving the file in its entirety, so it doesn&#39;t waste disk space. You can lock a document to prevent changes being auto-saved, and documents are automatically locked after two weeks. &lt;br /&gt;
The Auto Save feature is only available in applications written to take advantage of it, so remember to manually save documents created in non-autosaving apps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Versions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The second new save feature, Versions, creates a history of a document as you work on it. A copy is automatically saved every hour and each time you open it (as well as manually whenever you wish). You can revert to a saved version of your document using a Time Machine-like interface, or simply open an older version and copy something you regret editing out, pasting it into the current document. You can access the different versions of the document via the document&#39;s name in the title bar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Resume&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#39;ve ever put off installing a software update as you didn&#39;t want the hassle of restarting your Mac while in the middle of something, you&#39;ll definitely welcome Lion&#39;s new Resume feature. When a Lion Mac restarts, it returns to exactly the same state it was in before it shut down. &lt;br /&gt;
Running applications relaunch and open windows reopen. It&#39;s so comprehensive that if you highlighted text in an open document or app, it&#39;s highlighted again on restart. This will prove incredibly useful, and a major timesaver; no need to save your work, close everything down and then relaunch it all after boot-up. With Lion, it&#39;s all done automatically. &lt;br /&gt;
Like fullscreen apps and Auto Save, Resume is only available in (to use Apple&#39;s term) &quot;apps that have been developed to work with Lion&quot;. Third-party developers will no doubt welcome the opportunity to take advantage of these exciting system features, but it remains to be seen how fast software will absorb another level of OS integration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion AirDrop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
AirDrop is an exciting but limited transfer system that works over Wi-Fi. By clicking the AirDrop icon in your Finder sidebar, you&#39;re shown every nearby Mac that&#39;s also using AirDrop. If someone in your Address Book runs the Mac, the photo associated with the profile is also shown. To send someone a file or folder, you simply drag it onto his or her name. &lt;br /&gt;
AirDrop is peer-to-peer, connecting via Wi-Fi regardless of whether the Macs are on the same network. Transferred files are saved to the recipient&#39;s Downloads folder, but only after being accepted; you can&#39;t copy something to someone else&#39;s Mac without their knowledge and permission. &lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, AirDrop is only for Macs running Lion. You can&#39;t, for example, transfer a file from your Lion iMac to a colleague&#39;s Snow Leopard MacBook Pro, and you certainly can&#39;t AirDrop to a PC - surely you will be able to use it with iOS in due course though. But if you&#39;re in a mixed Mac-PC environment or not all local Macs run the latest version of the operating system, you&#39;ll have to stick with Dropbox or USB flash drives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X Lion 10.7 App revisions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Mission control&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.news_feat.lion_mba13-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lion sees OS X&#39;s native applications revised. Address Book now resembles a physical book like the iPad version, with contacts listed on the left-hand page and individual contact details on the right. An icon disguised as a red bookmark ribbon is used to access your groups. &lt;br /&gt;
The change hasn&#39;t been met with universal enthusiasm. The current version of Address Book offers a three-pane view, with groups, contacts and details readily available. Switching to two panels for no better reason than to preserve a visual metaphor might be considered a backwards step. &lt;br /&gt;
An option to return to &#39;Classic Window&#39; has been found in a debug menu; we hope it&#39;s available as a Preferences option for the final release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X Lion 10.7 Mail&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another OS X app that&#39;s adopted the look and feel of its iOS counterpart is Mail. The new version, Mail 5, makes much better use of its window space, showing a list of messages in your inbox and a full-height preview of the selected message. There&#39;s also a Favourites bar. A new Conversation View lets you thread messages from the same conversation in a timeline, even if the email&#39;s subject is changed. This makes an email exchange as easy to follow as a forum or newsgroup thread. Searching is also much improved.&lt;br /&gt;
Mail 5 is compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, and incorporates a powerful new search feature. Also, instead of a single flag to indicate an important message, you now have several coloured flags to choose from. This could prove useful if you want to flag different messages for different reasons or levels of priority. &lt;br /&gt;
QuickTime Player gains some features previously present in the paid-for Pro version of the application. You can copy and paste, insert a clip, crop, trim or rotate a video and resize your movie. Video sharing is built in, enabling you to export footage to MobileMe, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, iTunes and Mail. &lt;br /&gt;
Screen recording is enhanced, allowing you to record a section of the screen simply by selecting it with your mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
Signed for Preview has a very interesting new feature. Signature Capture digitises your pen-and-ink signature for use in documents and emails. You simply hold the paper version in front of your Mac&#39;s webcam and your signature is captured. &lt;br /&gt;
iCal has picked up a few features from the iPad version, and also a Year view alongside Day, Week and Month. Its layout has been simplified, with a very clean and tidy user interface. &lt;br /&gt;
iChat has also undergone a minor revision, with support for Yahoo! Messenger added. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X Lion 10.7 Safari improvements&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Safari benefits from Apple&#39;s new WebKit2 engine, making it faster and more stable. Codewise, each open tab stands alone like a separate app, so if a web page crashes, it doesn&#39;t take down the whole browser. &lt;br /&gt;
Unsurprisingly, much use is made of system-wide Gestures. They&#39;re so widely used and well integrated into Lion, we wonder how comfortable the new OS will be without them. Will those who use a desktop Mac without a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad feel they&#39;re missing out? &lt;br /&gt;
Developers with access to the Lion preview have complained that the vertical scrolling gesture on a trackpad has been reversed to match the iPad&#39;s. Previously, moving your fingers down on a trackpad scrolled the window downwards, matching the actions of a mouse&#39;s scroll wheel. Now it scrolls upwards, like on iOS devices where you interact with the window more directly. This could get very confusing. We hope it&#39;s optional in the final build. &lt;br /&gt;
There are some notable changes in Finder, the Aqua interface and the system in general. With Lion you can resize a window with all four corners, not just the bottom-right. Lion&#39;s scroll bars are similar to those in iOS, appearing when needed and fading after use. &lt;br /&gt;
Finder windows include a new sidebar option called All My Files. This gives you a handy overview of every file on your Mac, which you can then order according to date, kind, size, name and more. Interestingly, if you take a close look at the icon – a drawer full of documents – several of them show quotes from Steve Jobs. &lt;br /&gt;
OS X&#39;s popular Quick Look feature has been expanded. Spotlight search results can be previewed, as can URLs sent to you in Mail or iChat. You can also Quick Look within Stacks. Unfortunately, there appear to be no tabbed Finder windows, a feature we hoped would be introduced in OS X 10.7. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X Lion 10.7 security and FileVault 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On a technical level, the FileVault 2 security option now encrypts your entire hard drive, not just the Home folder. It encrypts as you work and decrypts on the fly using XTSAES 128 data encryption; we&#39;re promised it&#39;s totally unintrusive. &lt;br /&gt;
A recovery partition containing utilities found on OS X install discs can be used to restart your Mac after a particularly bad crash without having to boot from the optical drive, and SSD TRIM support has been added to keep solid-state drives optimised. &lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps most significantly, the server edition of Lion is incorporated into the client version. As Snow Leopard&#39;s Server Edition is sold separately for £417, this represents quite a saving for those who want to set up a Mac purely as a server. &lt;br /&gt;
A few features have fallen by the wayside. The developer preview of OS X 10.7 has no Front Row, so if you want to use a media centre with Lion, you have to install a third-party application such as Plex or XMBC. &lt;br /&gt;
Adobe Flash Player and Java Runtime are no longer installed by default but can be added manually, and the translation bridge Rosetta has gone entirely, with no option for it to be installed. Without it, applications written for the PowerPC architecture cannot run on Intel Macs.&lt;br /&gt;
If you open the System Profiler found in Applications &amp;gt; Utilities, click on Applications and sort them according to Kind, you can see what (if any) PowerPC apps you have on your Mac. If you&#39;re planning to upgrade to Lion, they must be upgraded or abandoned. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is Intel-only&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Like Snow Leopard, Lion is Intel-only. The developer preview demands an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or later, though the full system requirements have not yet been released, and are subject to change before the final version is with us. &lt;br /&gt;
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is shaping up to be an excellent release. With powerful and practical new features and some welcome polish on existing ones, it seems set to radically change the way we use our Macs. We may not have been excited when it was first announced, but we certainly are now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Other Mac OS X Lion 10.7 features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Apple says there are 3,000 new APIs as well as aWindows Migration assistant, FaceTime built in, plus a Lion Server add-on.&lt;br /&gt;

Did you know that your iOS device can become the perfect complement for your Mac desktop or notebook? Here we&#39;ll show you how. &lt;br /&gt;
For starters, your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, can be used as an additional screen. You won&#39;t get the same performance as you would with a physically connected monitor, but why not park your iTunes window on the iPad screen so that you&#39;ve always got it accessible? &lt;br /&gt;
Or if you&#39;re researching online and making notes, use your main display for Safari and pop your word processor on the iPad to jot things down. &lt;br /&gt;
You can also use the iPad or iPhone as a controller for your Mac. First though, why not take advantage of all that storage? &lt;br /&gt;
Out of the box, you can&#39;t use your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch as plug-andplay external storage in the way you could with older iPods. But with a Mac app called Phone Disk, your iOS device will mount on your desktop when you connect it with a USB lead. Go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/&quot;&gt;Phone Disk website&lt;/a&gt; and click the Download link to try it out. Note that the full, single-user version costs £13.&lt;br /&gt;
Work through the installer and restart when it&#39;s done, and double-click the Phone Disk app in your Applications folder (for ease of use, go to System Preferences &amp;gt; Accounts &amp;gt; Login Items and add it to the list so that it loads automatically). &lt;br /&gt;
Now, every time you connect your iOS device to your Mac, it&#39;ll appear on your desktop, where you can drag files to it, like you would with a USB flash drive. &lt;br /&gt;
A word of warning: keep off the stuff that&#39;s already there, and drag your device to the Trash before unplugging it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to use your iPhone or iPad as a second screen &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;01. Get the Air Display app &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;step 1&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step1-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are various iPad apps for using the device as a second screen, but our favourite is &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/air-display/id368158927?mt=8&quot;&gt;Air Display&lt;/a&gt; (£5.99). Buy yourself a copy. While it&#39;s downloading, move back to your Mac and open up a web browser window - you&#39;ll need an accompanying bit of software on your Mac. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;02. Download Mac software &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;step 2&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step2-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://avatron.com/apps/air-display-downloads?q=d&quot;&gt;Avatron&lt;/a&gt;. Choose the edition of the software for your version of OS X and click it. Once it&#39;s downloaded, the installer file should appear on your screen. Double-click it and work through the steps to load the drivers. You&#39;ll need to restart when it&#39;s finished. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;03. Connect the two &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Step 3&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step3-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With your Mac restarted, make sure it&#39;s on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad. On the iPad, open Air Display. Back on the Mac, you&#39;ll see a new icon in the menu bar. Click it and select Open Air Display Preferences… Check it&#39;s set to On and click the Device drop-down. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;04. Et voila &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;step 4&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step4-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Click your iPad in the menu and you&#39;ll see both screens briefly go blue, before your desktop background appears on your iPad screen. Now think about where you&#39;re going to put your iPad in relation to your Mac. Put it in position and click Show All on your Mac screen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;05. Arrange the screens &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;step 5&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step5-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the System Preferences window that appears, click Displays. You&#39;ll see a window open on each screen - note that you can colour-calibrate your iPad&#39;s screen here, should you wish. On the Mac, click Arrangement. The iPad is the one without a white bar - drag to position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;06. Enjoy the space &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;step 6&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.step6-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now drag your windows onto the iPad to use it as a second screen. Why not pop your iTunes or Mail windows there? Using Air Display, you can play Flash video on your iPad! Tap to move the mouse, or use two fingers to scroll. Note: sound will play through your Mac. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to control your Mac from your device &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;control&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.tut_ipad.boxout-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As well as providing you with extra Mac storage and an additional display, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch can be used as a controller for your Mac. On the iOS App Store, grab yourself a copy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mobile-mouse-pro-remote-trackpad/id289616509?mt=8&quot;&gt;Mobile Mouse Pro&lt;/a&gt;. There are separate versions for iPhone (£1.19) and iPad (£1.79). &lt;br /&gt;
You&#39;ll need the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mobilemouse.com/&quot;&gt;server software&lt;/a&gt; on your Mac too. Install it and make sure all your kit is connected to the same wireless network. Ensure the Mac app is running by looking for its icon in the menu bar - it should load automatically when you start up. &lt;br /&gt;
The Mobile Mouse system should work without you needing to go near any settings, but if you do need to fiddle with any, or want to password-protect your setup to stop pranksters messing with your Mac, select Server Settings in the Mobile Mouse menu.&lt;br /&gt;
On your portable device, open the app, tap the Settings cogs in the top corner and it&#39;ll look for nearby Macs - you should see yours listed (you can also alter the way the controller behaves in the Options tab). &lt;br /&gt;
Once connected, your device becomes a multi-touch trackpad and keyboard with which you can control your Mac. The iPad version even incorporates your Mac&#39;s Dock.&lt;br /&gt;

What can you do if your Mac randomly crashes or kernel panics? &lt;br /&gt;
Random crashes and kernel panics (when the screen goes dark and you&#39;re told to restart) could be down to hardware going wrong. Check things aren&#39;t getting too hot - are any of the air vents filled with dust? &lt;br /&gt;
A utility such as iStat Menus will enable you to see how hot different parts of your Mac are running. Every model is different, but unless you&#39;re doing some really intensive work, it shouldn&#39;t be going above 80°C. &lt;br /&gt;
Next, check your RAM is seated properly by removing it and plugging it back in, and run the Apple Hardware Test by inserting your Applications Install DVD and restarting while holding down D.&lt;br /&gt;
If this finds no trouble, you could work through crash logs to pinpoint what might be causing it, but we suggest, you back up your hard drive, erase it and reinstall OS X. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;Everything&#39;s slowing down on my entire Mac!&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Dashboard&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.page5_maingrab-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When you&#39;ve experienced your Mac at its speedy best, slowdowns can be unbearable, but there are several things you can do. &lt;br /&gt;
Have a look in your Applications folder and see if there&#39;s anything there you no longer use Using an uninstaller app such as AppDelete, AppZapper or CleanMyMac, removes anything superfluous. This will also free up space for Mac OS X to use as virtual memory. &lt;br /&gt;
If your boot drive still has less than 10GB free, it&#39;s a good idea to move some files elsewhere to enable the OS to perform to its best. Why not put your media on an external drive? &lt;br /&gt;
Now press F3 to open Dashboard, hold down Option, hover over any widgets you don&#39;t use and click the x to get rid of them - they put strain on your Mac. &lt;br /&gt;
A more extreme way to get your Mac back to its best is to back it up and then reinstall OS X, but don&#39;t then use Migration Assistant, as this could bring the problem with it. You&#39;ll need to copy your files across manually. &lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, think about how old your Mac is. As software becomes more demanding, older machines will slow down when they run it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;My keyboard has a faulty key. How can I fix it?&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If a key on your keyboard won&#39;t press down, it&#39;s likely there&#39;s something stuck under it. Every keyboard tends to be different, but with the recent Apple ones, you can prise the key off and give it a clean underneath, then clip it back in again. &lt;br /&gt;
However, if you do this, it is entirely at your own risk! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;My mouse doesn&#39;t track or scroll properly&quot; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It probably needs a good clean! Dirt and grime can build up on the bottom of a mouse over time, so scrape it off gently. To clean the scroll ball in a Mouse (formerly Mighty Mouse), roll the ball over some sticky tape to clean it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to reset the SMC &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Reset smc&quot; src=&quot;http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/Review%20images/MacFormat/MAC%20234/MAC234.main_feat.mini_reset_smc_2-420-90.jpg&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If your Mac&#39;s been running slowly or refusing to start up, resetting the System Management Controller (SMC on Intel Macs) or Power Management Unit (PMU, on PowerPC machines) sometimes helps. &lt;br /&gt;
The SMC or PMU control the power given to components in your Mac, and resetting it can solve certain problems. However, it&#39;s not a universal fix and Apple has a list of specific conditions when an SMC/PMU reset may be appropriate. Even then, it&#39;s a last resort. &lt;br /&gt;
The way to do it differs between models. For Intel-based Macs, have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&quot;&gt;look at this page&lt;/a&gt; for instructions on when and how to reset your SMC. And for older ones, &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939&quot;&gt;check out this page&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1431&quot;&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
