Apple Music finally gets web version of the app

Apple has given in to the demand of users looking for a web version of the Apple Music app. The company launched a beta web-based version of its music streaming service on Thursday, filling in a gap that its competitors already offered. Existing users can sign in using their Apple ID. And the site keeps a lot of the core features of the mobile app. You can search and play songs from the Apple Music catalogue or your library (if Sync Library is enabled) and access your playlists. All the main sections of the Apple Music app are included as well (Library, Search, For You, Browse, and Radio). Apple plans to add more features as they develop the site. The company will ask users for feedback to help streamline features and squash bugs.

In the meantime, new users will not be able to sign up from the site. You'll need to do that through the Apple Music app on iOS or Android, or you'll have to boot up the clunky iTunes app. Non-paying users who visit the Apple Music website can access a limited preview of specific playlists.

Microsoft's Your Phone app will soon allow you to make calls from your PC

Microsoft's Your Phone app is the company's solution for linking Android phones to Windows desktops and laptops. And it looks like the app is about to get more useful. Windows leakster Ajith found screenshots that show the user interface of the Your Phone app with a new "Calls" feature, suggesting you'll be able to make calls using the desktop app. It features a traditional keypad and also allows you to search for your contacts. The assumption is these will be synced from your phone to your desktop. And you will need to grant permissions in the settings for this to work. Microsoft has said in the past that this feature is in the works. But this is the first time we are seeing the UI and how it could work. There is no word yet when it is going to roll out to users.

Your Phone brings everything from notifications, text messages, as well as the use of some apps to your desktop or laptop so you wouldn't need to pick the phone up while working.  A quick reply system is also in the works for those who need that. You will need to have the app installed on both your Phone and Windows 10 to establish a link between devices.

TSA reverses ban on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles

We reported earlier about the US’s Transportation Security Administration banning the “thermal detonator”-shaped bottles of Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite made especially for the Star Wars: Galaxy’s End theme park. Now, the TSA reverses its decision, allowing travellers to take home these collectibles. The TSA claimed this could confuse TSA screeners at airport security checkpoints. As expected, the decision wasn’t met kindly on the internet. And now it seems the government agency is listening to the gripes and will treat these containers as “oversized liquid.” So, if you choose to bring it with the liquid in it, you need to put it in your checked bags. If it’s empty, you can carry it with you. But the TSA warns that “TSA officers will maintain the discretion to prohibit any item through the screening checkpoint if they believe it poses a security threat.”

The Google Pixel 4 might come in new 'Coral' colour option

If this leak is to be believed, we're getting a more eye-catching colour option for the Pixel 4. Photos circulating on Chinese site Weibo show the Google smartphone in this new orange colourway. It could end up being called Coral if we're to base it off the accompanying text of the leak as well as Google's use of the name for orange products in the past.

Based on the images we've seen, it seems to be a matte application of the colour. And it's in line with what we've seen so far. There have been white and black models, with the white one sporting an orange-accented power button. This "Coral" version seems to have the same orange-coloured power button. It's also a departure from how Google chooses colours for its smartphones. But it might just work for those who want a more pop of colour on their unit.
