Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras.

The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities.

The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is EaseUS Coolphone and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
