Samsung and Apple are famous frenemies, battling one another in court after court over copyright violations while still working together to bring consumers their beloved iPads and iPhones.

Apple has recently come under fire by a handful of people that claim the company misrepresented what the virtual assistant can do and are seeking a class action lawsuit based on false advertising. Apple whipped right back at the disgruntled, sue-happy bunch by stating that Siri may not be perfect, but she’s still cutting edge.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the plaintiffs are claiming that the iPhone 4S commercials and statements about Siri are false and misleading and “does not perform as advertised.” In a recent court filing, Apple responded to those allegations with a motion to dismiss the case.
The Summer Olympics have lost their excitement over the past decade or so. Lets face it, if its not gymnastics or swimming, people just don’t care anymore. One reason might be due to television being so segmented that it becomes harder and harder to get good coverage of all the events.
London is doing something about it for 2012. Not only will viewers be able to watch every event of the Summer Olympics from a live streaming website, but viewers will be able to interact with what they are watching with pause, rewind, alerts, social media connection and other fun features.

Kickstarters Levi Price and Eric Rea are our kind of designers. When Price’ laptop bit the dust he decided to replace it with an iPad, but though he loved his new tablet (obviously), he was never satisfied with any of the cases that were available.

According to the New York Times, Sorkin has finally committed to the project, after expressing interest in it last fall, in which will write a screenplay adaptation Walter Isaacson’s best selling biography of Jobs.
There are a lot of match three games in the App Store, so there’s no denying that it’s an over-saturated genre. As an app reviewer, I’ve played quite a few of the match three games in the App Store, so believe me when I say that Cubis Creatures is refreshingly fun.
Cubis Creatures isn’t your average match-three. For one, it’s got a great theme with colorful graphics and adorable monsters, and it’s also done in 3-D, so blocks can be added from the bottom, the side, and sometimes underneath.

If you’ve been on the lookout for a platformer that presents a serious challenge, you’re in luck, because This Could Hurt is the game that you’ve been searching for.
I’m not kidding – this is one of the toughest iOS games that I’ve played in awhile, which is going to sound odd when I say that it’s also got some of the simplest gameplay around, because you can play it one-handed with a single finger on the screen.
For those looking for an alternative to using Safari for browsing the web, it may soon be an option to use Google’s Chrome web browser on all of your iOS devices. Of course, third-party web browsers seems doomed to fail.
While Apple does allow this software to be installed and used, they do not allow you to change your default web browser settings which means “all links in emails, texts or other apps will always open in Safari, regardless of what other browsers are installed.”
