New drone video shows almost complete Apple campus

Now we’re getting to see how close Apple’s new campus is to completion. This new Apple HQ is set to open sometime next year and features a circular building with a 100,000 square-foot fitness center, 11,000-car parking garage with solar panels. Of course, it also has a gigantic auditorium to play host to future Apple events. You can see how far construction has gone if you compare this fly-over video from early 2015 with the one above.

Eye-Fi to end support for X1 and X2 Wi-Fi SD cards by September 15th

In case you are still using Eye-Fi’s X1 and X2 Wi-Fi SD cards, now’s the time to look for an alternative. The Wi-Fi-connected SD cards that let old cameras connect to a mobile or desktop app will stop receiving support from Eye-Fi by September 15th. You won’t be able to use most services and they will no longer update the mobile and desktop apps that work with these cards. One of the reasons for the change is that the older products developed back in 2007 aren’t supposedly as safe and secure as the current wireless technologies. To help ease current customers into a new system, Eye-Fi is offering 20 percent discounts for the Mobi Pro cards they currently sell and support.

Apple rumoured to be in talks to purchase Tidal

Jay-Z’s music streaming service Tidal might be joining Apple, if rumours are to be believed, that is. The Daily Beast reports that Apple is supposedly exploring this option to bring on artists such as Beyonce and Kanye West that release exclusive content on Jay-Z’s service. It also comes at a time when Apple is looking to invest on its music platform, including a redesign of the service. Tidal’s main selling point, aside from the exclusive music, is sound quality. It costs US$20 a month to subscribe to the service.
