Vine (finally) updates Windows Phone app

Yes, it took more than a year for Vine to pay attention to its Windows Phone app. But instead of complaining, we welcome the change. The company has finally updated its Windows Phone app. It now lets users import videos right from the camera and edit those clips in-app. Vine also gets a new look, loop count, and supports Vine messaging. The new version of the app is already available for download for Windows 8.1 devices.

Google+ Stories show up on Google Now

It would seem Google isn't ready to give up on Google+ just yet. A number of users have noticed that Google+ Stories have started to show up alongside their other Google Now cards. Google Stories are a collection of photos you uploaded based on time and location data. Think of it as a highlight reel of a specific event. The card on Google Now shows a photo preview, date, and how many items are in the album. The Story can be viewed or shared right from Google Now. There is no word from Google though when this'll be an official feature.

The Apple Beat: iPad turns five

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla
I spent most of my time on the iPad with the Safari browser, which is stellar on the tablet. If there's an inherent game-changing feature in the iPad it is how it relates web surfing to the form factor. How the screen manages to reveal entire webpages in your hand in such crisp and functional detail is simply awe-inspiring. Multi-touch is the best way to navigate the Internet and multi-touch on the iPad just works.
--- Gadjo Sevilla’s review of the original iPad in 2010
The iPad quietly celebrated its 5th birthday this weekend and it is hard to believe that this game-changing device has been with us for 5 years already and has evolved the way many of us interact with each other through e-mail, social media and the web as well as with tens of thousands of ‘made for iPad’ apps.
