Steph Curry’s MVP skills get honored in ‘NBA2K16’

Matching his MVP-worthy skills in real life, Stephen Curry is being honored by Under Armour and 2K Sports, creators of NBA 2K16. His virtual counterpart will be getting the highest possible rating, 99, in NBA 2K16 for a limited time. Starting 3 pm PST / 6 pm EST on Thursday, May 12 and for 30 hours straight, you will get to play Curry at his max potential in the game. We can’t say what this would mean for gameplay as overall ratings are calculated based on a player’s other attributes but based on Under Armour’s announcement, he’ll be “the greatest shooter in NBA 2K history.”

Sunrise calendar app officially closes its doors on August 31st

Different things happen to apps when they get acquired. One of the scenarios is the technology and team behind the purchased company gets absorbed into products developed by the one who purchased them. And that is what’ll happen to Sunrise. The calendar app bought by Microsoft last year will be officially shutting its doors on August 31^st. They are already pulling the app from the app stores and no new features or bug fixes will be heading its way. After the end of August, the app will stop working altogether.

The Sunrise team says they are busy working on the Outlook app for iOS and Android. So if you use this app, you should be seeing some Sunrise features show up there.

Instagram debuts new look and icons

It wasn’t just a test. Instagram has changed the look of its apps to, as they say, “put more focus on your photos and videos without changing how you navigate the app.” Part of the redesign are new flatter yet more colorful icons for Instagram and its other creative apps: Layout, Boomerang, and Hyperlapse. As rainbow-inspired the icons are, the app itself gets more monochromatic. The update should be rolling out to your device soon. It’s already made its way to my devices (including a trusty old LG G3).
