Apple Music introduces Guided Tours page to help you make sense of the app

Still get confused about how to use Apple Music? The tech giant is helping you out with the new “Guided Tours” section on the mini site for Apple Music. There are “tours” with videos explaining how these core functions work. The tours revolve around the For You, New, Radio, Connect, and My Music features. It would seem this is to help the people who have been complaining about the service’s confusing interface.

It doesn’t tackle the iTunes and iPad interfaces though or the app that’ll come for the fourth-generation Apple TV. Right now, it’s a critical time for the service as the trials for Apple Music will end at the end of this month. Starting October 1st, subscribers who stay on will have to pay at least US$10 per month for the service. And we'll be able to see how much potential the service really has with the number of users who decide to stay on.

Zulip is your open source alternative to Hipchat and Slack

Are you in need of a communications client for you and your team? Zulip is a free, open source option from Dropbox. The service doesn’t just let you chat with your co-workers; it also has integration with outside services. It even lets you share files and customize notifications, among many other features. You would, however, need someone on your team that can host their own server on an Ubuntu machine. If you have that up and running, Zulip then gives you access to clients for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.
