Mac mini said to be first US-built computer in Apple's domestic production push

Apple is reportedly set to move its Mac mini production lines back to the US with Foxconn Electronics  to be responsible of handling establishment, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

Components like Apple's Samsung-built SoCs are already manufactured in the US, and some of its computers, like custom-built iMacs, are already assembled in the country.
Apple's other major OEM partner Quanta Computer also has two operating bases in the US, located in Fremont, California and Nashville, Tennessee.

Samsung AllShare SDK could bring better connected apps to your Galaxy

Samsung's AllShare apps are the only implementations of the company's DLNA-based platform to date, but now it wants external developers to help realize the tech's potential. The AllShare Framework SDK has been released, meaning its APIs can be integrated into third-party software for the creation of "AllShare-enabled" apps. Developers will be given access to AllShare features including media streaming, screen sharing with compatible devices (or an AllShare Cast dongle), and remote control functions. Now devs can start using these tools, expect to see more AllShare-enabled apps boosting the functionality of your Galaxy device in the near future.

'Minecraft: The Story of Mojang' documentary premiering on Xbox Live this weekend


The Story of Mojang on Kickstarter — and this weekend the movie will have its world premiere on Xbox Live. The documentary covers the first year of Mojang, the game studio founded by Swedish developer Markus "Notch" Persson, and will air free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers on Saturday, December 22nd. It will be available in nine different countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Sweden itself.
The filmmakers originally sought $150,000 in backing, but ultimately raised more than $210,000 to fund the project. For Xbox Live Gold members that would like to see the end result, a special Minecraft tile will appear on the Xbox Live dashboard with a trailer and local viewing times.


Good deal: Tweetbot for $0.99 on iPhone and iPad

Tweetbot has dropped in price to just $0.99 on both iPhone and iPad, and we'd recommend picking up either or both right away — there's never been a better time to get on board with a quality third-party Twitter client. They're becoming a bit of an endangered species following Twitter's imposition of strict new API rules; developers are limited in the number of users they can serve, and many have been forced to charge relatively high prices as a result. Tweetbot's unique interface and excellent functionality have led it to become probably the most highly acclaimed iOS client, and now it's available for a bargain price. Unfortunately, however, the Mac version remains at $19.99.

Press for Android is a news reader that actually cares about design (hands-on)

Press, a new RSS reader for Android developed by Twentyfive Squares, is a serious breath of fresh air in the Play Store. While there are a lot of options for RSS on Android, none of them have really matched something like Reeder for iOS, with its simple, functional, and attractive design — the official Google Reader app is laughably spartan, Reader HD is functional but clunky, and Feedly looks good but gets bogged down in an overwrought UI.



There are subtle buttons up top to alter the font size, and you can select from a number of fonts — the default is Adobe's excellent Source Sans Pro

The app is so thoughtfully designed in other areas, though, that I'm pretty confident the issue will be addressed soon. It might not be the most feature-complete RSS reader on Android — there's no dark reading mode, no magazine-style layout, and no widget — but it's unquestionably the most focused and attractive. It's available now for $1.99 in the Play Store.


Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 camera software update goes hands-on today

Have problem in Nokia Software?????Dont worry !!The latest software update is ready ..you will updated from today





hero_att-580x386
This update will bring you several update to the software build of your machine, starting with “enhancements in messaging” and moving on with “more efficient” Bluetooth connectivity – that including more reliable Bluetooth connectivity as well. You’ve got a “more efficient and reliable start-up sequence” now – not that we noticed any breaks in the start-up sequence in the first place. Then there’s the photography boost.
We’ve done a couple of hard-hitting yet rather basic comparisons between the camera equipment on the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Samsung Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5 in the past.

 From there you’ll have a one-button update with a tap and a “yes, go ahead” assurance and you’ll be on your way!

Irrational Games reveals first five minutes of BioShock Infinite

BioShock series developer Irrational Games has released the first five minutes or so of their upcomingBioShock threequel, BioShock Infinite. The video consists of mostly theatrical sequences that doesn’t consist of a lot of gameplay, but you do get to walk around a little and open doors and such. However, be warned that anything below this point may contain spoilers.




Overall, the video will remind you of the original BioShock, including the lighthouse, but other than that, there’s not too much action other than the last minute or so of the video where things start to get really good, but of course, Irrational cuts it off at that, and is forcing us to wait until the game’s release — how dare them.
