Apple’s CEO Tim Cook provides the voice to a new video from Apple that comes with the simple title “Better”. The video talks about Apple’s environmental credentials and how they’re working on improving them, but it’s also pretty clear that Apple’s “better” refers to its products as well.

Deezer Launch Beta OSX Desktop Client
I’ve been playing around with Deezer for the last few months.

Uber Comes To Dublin
Uber has finally launched in Dublin. At the moment the company is still testing, so the number of cars and drivers available is limited. Unlike Hailo, which we’ve mentioned in the past, Uber is more upmarket and is aimed more at business users who want a luxury ride (though the company has introduced lower cost […]
