【iOS 6 Is Out: What To Expect From the Upgrade】
TEXT:Apple’s long awaited iOS 6 is rolling out to iPhone, iPad, and iPod users today. What can you expect from the upgrade?
Apple claims there are 200 new features but here are the major ones:
Deeper integration with Facebook and Twitter
A smarter Siri, smart enough to launch apps and get sports scores
A new maps app to replace Google maps with turn by turn voice directions.
The ability to take panoramic photos
And the new passbook app which organizers tickets, gifts cards, ect
So how do the masters of tech feel about the new operating system?
The tech media seem to unanimously agree - it’s worth an upgrade.
TechCrunch think ’s its a big step forward.
“...but that’s hardly surprising given Apple’s track record. As always, there will be those who say it doesn’t push the envelope enough, and Maps has already ruffled quite a few feathers.”
And Engadget says it ’s not a revolutionary update BUT
“On the other hand, it's still an improvement over iOS 5. But let's face it -- this won't be a difficult decision to make. Indeed, there's very little reason not to hit the upgrade button.”
And what about you sneaky jailbreakers? You may want to hold off a few days. The dev team behind Redsn0w are promising a jailbrake solution in the next few days.
【British Regulators Approve Sky's License】
TEXT：After a year-long inquiry into British broadcaster Sky, regulators have ruled the network can keep its license. The BBC has the details.
“The media regulator Ofcom has ruled that Sky is a fit and proper company to hold a broadcasting license. Ofcom was investigating the satellite broadcaster in the wake of the phone hacking scandal.”
The News of the World phone hacking scandal spilled into other holdings of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. empire, including Sky, of which News Corp owns about 39 percent. The Guardian reports Ofcom cleared Sky after finding no evidence, saying...
“ To date there is no evidence that Sky was directly or indirectly involved in any of the wrongdoing either admitted or alleged to have taken place at News of the World or the Sun.”
While Sky is cleared to continue broadcasting, Ofcom had strong words for former News Corp. Chair and CEO James Murdoch. According to the Telegraph ...
“The regulator said...Mr Murdoch’s behaviour was ‘difficult to comprehend and ill-judged’ and that he ‘repeatedly fell short’ of his duties as chairman, raising questions about his ‘competence’ and his attitude towards wrongdoing at the companies he was in charge of ...”
But it wasn’t all bad news from the regulator for James Murdoch. Sky News reports Ofcom believes he didn’t attempt to cover up the scandal.
“They also accepted that there is not the evidence that would lead anyone to reasonably conclude that he was either aware of the wrongdoing [FLASH] or indeed that he was complicit in any attempt to cover it up.”
Sky’s not out of the woods just yet. According to The Wall Street Journal , it still has to answer for some admitted email hacking.
“[Ofcom] is separately examining whether instances of email hacking at Sky News violate an established code of conduct for U.K. broadcasters; Sky has admitted two instances of hacking the email of suspected criminals but said the incidents were in ‘the public interest.’”
Sky stock was up almost a percent following the announcement.
