Steam readies recommendation tags for gamers

Steam is helping you make your next purchase with its new tagging feature. The recommendation tags were previously beta tested and are now ready for everyone’s use. You can visit a product’s page and browse the tags to see other games similar to what you are viewing.

Report claims Apple to debut iPad with anti-glare displays

Aside from new iPhones, new rumours have surfaced that Apple plans to introduce new iPads. Bloomberg reports there will be a new 9.7-inch iPad that will be introduced near the end of the quarter and a 7.9-inch iPad mini coming out a few months after that.

Dropbox updates Android app, improves search and preview features

Dropbox has updated its Android application to add some essential features to the app. The search feature now lets you look for documents placed in folders and the app will suggest results as you type them. The cloud storage app also remembers your recent searches and highlights the names of files that match your query. The document preview feature now also shows you what is stored in a specific file. This is particularly useful for those who save documents using specific or weird filenames. The update is rolling out and will probably hit the Play Store real soon.
