Apple releases Oscar ad shot on iPad

Just in time for the Oscar’s, Apple is promoting the usefulness of its tablets when it comes to film making. The new ad airing at tonight’s awards show features students from the Los Angeles County High School. They used an iPad to write, produce, shoot, score, and edit films. The ad called “Make a film with iPad” was shot with an iPad Air 2 and even includes a voiceover from director Martin Scorsese. There is also a special section on the App Store now that highlights the different apps that the students used to make their films.

Samsung outs new teaser for Galaxy S6

Samsung outs new teaser for Galaxy S6

With March 1 fast approaching, Samsung isn’t wasting any time releasing the teaser video for its new flagship, the Galaxy S6. The promo has a female announcer talking about the future with words like: “Tomorrow, metals will flow, beauty will be powerful, borders will disappear, reflections will be free, colors will live, the future will be the present.”

This gives us more hints that the Galaxy S6 will have a metal design and a curved anti-reflective display (as some rumours have suggested). In the video, you can even see the screen curving around the left and right side of the device. We just have to wait a bit more to see exactly what the new Samsung device will look like.

Find gas stations on the road with Google Now

If you’ve been on a cross-country trip and have been looking for the next place to get gas, Google will help you out. Google Now will show the nearest gas stations along your route. Users who saw this card pop up weren’t necessarily using Google Maps’s navigation but they were driving. It would seem Google is taking a look at how fast you’re going and predicting where you’re headed to provide you with the information. Since it’s prediction-based, you can’t expect it to be accurate, but we assume that if you use navigation, you’ll get more accurate results.
