Yahoo Mail brings undo send to iOS app

Yahoo Mail has brought a lot of new features into its iOS and Android app, including bringing over Stationery to Android. But the one feature we know users will appreciate is being able to take back emails, much like what you can do with Gmail. There is now an undo send option for the Yahoo Mail iOS app. When you send out an email after tapping send, an “undo” option will pop up at the bottom of your inbox feed for about three seconds, so yes, you have to react fast. There is no word yet when this’ll make it into the Android app. But Yahoo does now allow Android users to disable the swipe to delete function and customizable spacing between emails in your feed to make it more condense or to see snippets of an email. You can check out the rest of the features here.

Apple to discontinue Thunderbolt display

Talk about long in the tooth, Apple's external Thunderbolt displays were last refreshed way back in 2011 and it seems that company has finally decided to pull the plug on the ageing monitor line.

"We're discontinuing the Apple Thunderbolt Display," an Apple spokesperson confirmed to The Verge. It will be available through Apple.com, Apple's retail stores, and Apple Authorized Resellers while supplies last. There are a number of great third-party options available for Mac users." 

So, if you need a second display for your Mac Pro, iMac or MacBook, your best bet is to look for a third party solution. For Apple purists, who usually need to have matching desktop and monitor combos (understandable, these are built to just work together, this is a tough choice). Apple seems to be unplugging some of its long-standing product lines like the displays and likely AirPort and Time Capsule products (when was the last time those got updated?).

The Thunderbolt ($SRT 1,199) display features 27-inch, diagonally viewable, TFT Active-Matrix LCD displays a native resolution of 2560x1440 pixels in 16.7 million colours presented in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. 4K monitors today can be had for a similar price.

The universal search on Android TV now shows Netflix results

Google finally adds a long overdue feature for Android TV: Netflix search results. Now, when you use the universal search function on the set-top box software, you’ll be able to see Netflix cards with background artwork, show or movie poster, and cast information beside that. However, it isn’t clear if there’s a need to update on the Netflix side or it’ll happen in the server side.
