Vine (finally) updates Windows Phone app
Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 7:06PM 
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
Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 6:53PM 
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.

Patent shows iPhones might be waterproof in the future

Patents aren't a good basis of seeing what'll be coming out soon but they do give us a glimpse of what's possible. A new Apple patent application shows the possibility of having waterproof iPhones in the future. It describes ways of creating water-tight buttons for iOS devices. Of course, the patent doesn't indicate if it will be included in the upcoming iPhone models. But this is certainly a feature a lot of iPhone users would welcome.
