“Unlocking Technology” Bill Aims to Allow Owners to Tinker With Their Devices
Four members of the US House introduced a bill today that would allow anyone to tinker with any device they own. If it can get through congress, the Unlocking Technology Act of 2013 would ensure that any software and firmware that comes with a device can be modified legally by its owner, so long as they have the device physically (or via an agent) under their control, and have a legitimate contract to use a wireless provider’s network – and that it isn’t used for piracy. “This bill reflects the … Read more

The folks at SimplyZesty, which is self-described as a “full service digital agency,” have designed a rather nice new iOS 7 concept. It seems overall very polished and does have some credibility to it. They based the concept off of the report that the redesign of iOS 7 would have a new, “flatter” looking user interface somewhat similar to Windows Phone. The concept redesigns pretty much every app, including the icons. The Music app in particular stands out to me because it looks like something you could definitely see on … Read more
