Repair program for some blurry Apple iPhone 6 Plus cameras announced

Apple has initiated a repair program for certain iPhone 6 Plus units that have faulty iSight cameras resulting in blurry video and image capture. Apple acknowledged the issue with a "small percentage" of units and will replace the affected component free of charge.

Officially called the "iSight Camera Replacement Program for iPhone 6 Plus," Apple's repair service is available to any iPhone 6 Plus owner whose device is producing blurry photos and carries the problematic part. Affected users can check their serial number at Apple's website. As with most repair and replacement procedures, customers are expected to backup their files and system online through iCloud or on a computer. Affected units will be eligible for repair for up to 3 years after the iPhone's original purchase date.

Google now shows tweets in desktop search results 

A few months back Google started adding recent and relevant tweets to your searches on mobile. This time, Google's bringing that feature to desktop search results as well. If you type in a person and the word Twitter, you might see their recent tweets. But if you type in something more general like NASA Twitter, for example, you'll get both tweets from NASA's official Twitter account and tweets from other users talking about the space agency. This new feature should be rolling out to all users.
