OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta 2 now available

Beta testers of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite operating system were rewarded this morning with the first major non-developer update with various bug fixes as well as updates to the interface and design tweaks that give it a more unified look and feel. Also included are new wallpapers. Yosemite is expected to be released to the world at large this fall and is free for users of compatible Macs running the current Mavericks OS. You can check out my initial impressions of OS X Yosemite based on the first beta release here.

HTC unveils IFA teaser with digits ‘820’

Hot off the heels of their HTC One M8 for Windows release, HTC has plans of unveiling a new device and reports say it will be an octa-core Android device. The Taiwanese brand sent out “save the date” invites for an “IFA Breakfast” on September 4^th. It is rumoured that the 64-bit octa-core device for HTC’s Desire line will be making an appearance. The teaser image with the digits “820” was just released and it seems in line with the numbering HTC does with Desire—the last Desire handset was an 816. We will just have to wait a bit to see what those numbers really mean.

Google Voice Search adds multi-language support

When doing multi-language Voice Search before, Google would need you to change the language settings. Now, they are rolling out an update that will support multiple languages. The latest version of Google Search (version 3.6) should be up on Play Store. To activate this feature, you just need to head to the Settings menu and then select Search & Now > Voice > Languages. You can then pick up to five languages you want Google Search to understand. But Android Police points out there are still shortcomings with the update, including the lose of "Ok Google" detection. Hopefully they fix that soon.

Intuit releases Quicken 2015 for Mac

It took seven years, but Intuit finally released an all-new version of Quicken for the Mac. Available for download from Quicken.com for $74.99, Quicken 2015 for Mac also sports an updated design, reminiscent of Apple's new "flat" design direction in OS X Yosemite. A companion app for iOS, Quicken Money Management is free. 

While showcasing many of the features of older versions, Quicken 2015 lacks the the ability to create a 12-month budget, show loan amortization as well as pay bills within the application. Other features available to the Windows version, like multi-currency conversion and advanced investment options, are also missing from the Mac variant, though may be coming soon.
