Apple's Tim Cook makes cover of Time for fight with FBI

Apple CEO Tim Cook is making the cover of Time Magazine but this time the focus is over the fight with the FBI. The cover shows  a black and white photo of a determined Tim Cook at his desk in Apple's headquarters flanked by an iPad Pro as well as an iMac.

The feature story is an exclusive interview that covers the implications of the much publicized stance Apple has taken on the side of privacy versus the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Apple is having a media event next week which will be live streamed. It is expected to be a product launch but many are wondering if Tim Cook will take at least a few minutes to address the elephant in the room and give the company's stand on what has turned out to be a hot topic that affects everyone.

The Time cover feature seems to cover all the bases of this issue and manages to air Apple's stance. Read more about it here.

New Instagram update relegates time stamp to bottom of the post

Before you could easily see when an Instagram post was posted as the time stamp was located on the upper right portion of the app. Now, the social network has relegated it to the bottom of the post, much like the fine print to a contract. If you don't look for it, you just might not notice that it's there. It now shows up right after the comments of a post. The move can be seen as preparation for the social network as it plans to offer a more algorithm-based feed instead of a chronological one. It doesn't show up on everyone's feeds yet but it should be rolling out to all users soon.

Sony launches new PlayStation Video app on Android

Sony is making it easier for Android users to watch the content they buy on the PlayStation Store on a device outside of their PS system. The new PlayStation Video app lets you watch the shows and movies you've purchased. It's basically just a video player of sorts. But the app will also let you purchase more TV shows and movies right from within it. Most of the content on the PlayStation Store are, of course, made or distributed by Sony.

The movies become available either the day before or the same day of the DVD. And TV show episodes come out usually the day after it airs on its respective networks. Some of the new movies available on the service include The Hateful Eight, Concussion, and Pointbreak. Take note, though, that some of the shows and films may or may not appear for you due to license and availability issues.
