Tweet Follow @ascikdrumming Now you can access earthquake info, bike routes and lots more from within Google Earth ittself Google Earth just got what turns out to be rather a big update. On paper it seems like nothing more than a few interface tweaks and the ability to open KML and KMZ files linked from Safari, but one new bullet point — “Touring support: load tours from the Earth Gallery or from mountain layer” — turns the map app into something entirely different. First, V6.2.0 does have few other changes and fixes. The aforementioned ability to launch KML and KMZ files in Google Earth when clicked in the browser is actually very useful,...

How iTunes Could Kill Windows 8 Tablets

Tweet Follow @ascikdrumming It seems unlikely you'll ever see an iTunes icon here. Despite being totally dedicated to Mac OS X right now, I can’t help but get excited about Windows 8. Having enjoyed the Metro UI experience with Windows Phone, I can’t wait to try it out on a tablet. And I know a lot of users feel the same way. But one thing that could put many of them off Windows 8 slates is the lack of iTunes. Microsoft knows this, and it knows it’s a real problem that could kill Windows 8 tablets before they’ve even hit the market in the minds of many consumers.

iOS 5.1 Has Been Jailbroken

Tweet Follow @ascikdrumming You just can’t keep the Dev Team down. Just hours after Apple officially released iOS 5.1, it’s already been jailbroken. But as usual with these 0-day jailbreaks, there are some caveats. The iPhone Dev Team has just announced that they have updated their popular Redsn0w jailbreak tool to allow people to run unsigned code on their iPhones, iPod touches and iPads. But there are some drawbacks. First of all, if you’ve got an iPhone 4S or iPad 2, you need not apply.
