After having rolled out the iOS 8.0.2 update to consumers, it looks like Apple is actively working behind the scenes to keep the momentum for iOS software updates going. Now, in Apple's developer portal, developers have access to iOS 8.1 beta 1. Currently, a change log isn't given as to what will be new with the iOS 8.1 beta 1 update will include.
Apple said:
This is a pre-release version of iOS 8.1 beta for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Devices updated to iOS 8.1 beta can not be restored to earlier versions of iOS.
The build for the software is listed as 12B401.
Given that you cannot revert back to an earlier version of iOS, will you be an early adopter for iOS 8.1 beta 1?

This fall marks 20 years that Microsoft has been making keyboards (make that "computer hardware," as it was quaintly called back in 1994). Ironically, though, as the company approaches this milestone, it's now making accessories not just for PCs,...
Shazam has been updated to version 7.5, adding a redesigned track page, improved sharing, and improved Rdio support. In addition to the redesigned track page, videos, along with album and track reviews, have a new look and feel as well.
Immprovements have been made in this update to make it easier to get the most out of Shazam. The app now features better integration with sharing services, including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, WhatsApp and Pinterest. The new lyrics design starts streaming on a track page immediately so you can see the words in time with the music. Discographies and biographies promise to be more engaging and more informative.
There are smaller improvements as well. Rdio users can now add a track directly to one of their playlists right from Shazam. Auto Shazam is more reliable. Users can also connect to Facebook to see what they're friends are finding with Shazam, and to share your discoveries through the Share screen. There is also better news feed and notification control.
You can download this update to Shazam right now from the App Store.

We humans can form curious attachments to non-living things, so when Comet Ison veered recklessly toward the sun, naturally we rooted for the plucky iceball. Unfortunately, scientists feared the worst after seeing it mostly vanish when it brushed past the sun's corona. Cue the heroic music, though, as new footage released early today (after the break) shows that at least part of the 1.4 mile-wide comet has emerged from the brutal encounter. It's looking a bit ragged after all that, so astronomers will have to wait a bit more to make a final call on its health. Hopefully it'll still be classed as "comet" rather than "scorched hunk of rock."
