New Google Drive update ends support for Android 4.0, brings other changes

Google has rolled out a new update to Drive's Android app. If your Android device still runs Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), there's some bad news: the Drive app on your device will no longer receive any updates.
"This is the last supported release of Drive for Android on all Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) devices," the change-log says. "Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) users will receive no further updates to Drive on Android."
As for other changes, now you can easily upgrade your storage plan in-app, add home screen shortcuts to your favorite files, and receive comment notifications. Finally, the update also includes some performance-related improvements and general bug fixes.

Best Apps and Games of the Week

Image
These are some of the best apps and games of this week. Spark Spark is a beautiful and powerful email app for the iPhone, which is now available on the iPad. The app makes good use of the iPad's big display, with multiple panes, including an additional bar on the left with shortcuts for your calendars, attachments, inboxes, etc. There is also a Watch app now, and a sync feature that syncs mail between your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. iOS Photofy Photofy is an image editing app for iOS that is now also available on Android. Although there are many photo editing apps out there, Photofy is tastefully designed. The main feature, among the usual editing options, is the ton of template texts in beautiful fonts that you can place on your images. Or if you want, you can type out your own. The app is free but with an in-app purchase you can access all the templates and filters. iOS • Android Peach Peach is a new social network similar ...

Checkout the new time-lapse mode in iOS 8

Image
One of the new features in iOS 8 is time-lapse mode in the Camera app. For those who don’t know, time-lapse mode takes a series of photographs with a few second interval and in the end combines all the images into a video, which when played looks like a fast-forwarded video. It’s not something you’d use often but it’s a cool thing to have and definitely gives some cool results as we will see now. The following video was shot on an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 beta. There currently are no options regarding the time-lapse mode in typical Apple fashion and you just swipe left in the Camera app until you reach the time-lapse setting and then start recording.

iPhone 5c fails to make impact in China, 5s compensates

Image
The iPhone 5c isn't doing all that good in China. According to CTechCN , who first reported Apple's cutting iPhone 5c production , Apple is still reducing orders of the plastic iPhone. Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory, which once churned out 50 thousand units weekly is now down to 8 to 9 thousand. Protek, component manufacturer for iPhone 5c, has seen an order cut of 75%. Retailer Dixons reports 78.6% of iPhone sales come from the premier 5s and just 21.4% are due to the iPhone 5c. The smartphone's price is also falling on retailer Taobao, which imported units from Hong-Kong at prices between 3000 to 3500 Chinese Yuan a month ago, now down to between 2500 to 3000 (around $400 to $500). Some retailers are reportedly selling their iPhone 5c units at a loss just to clear stock. Still there's no threat to Apple's financial health in hindsight as the iPhone 5s is selling handsomely. The question is whether Apple will keep making plastic iPhones wi...

The order in which the tabs are arranged, however, remains the same. Via
