Google mapped out a key strategy with its $1 billion acquisition of map-software provider Waze on Tuesday. “I am excited to announce today that we have accepted an offer to join Google/' Waze CEO Noam Bardin said in a blog post Tuesday morning. Google would not comment beyond its own blog post announcing the deal, but a source told USA TODAY the deal’s amount. The source asked not to be named because they are not authorized to speak on behalf of the search-engine giant. Google has mulled a deal with Waze since late May, according to Bloomberg News. The acquisition plan was first reported Monday by Globes, an Israeli financial daily. It listed the price as $1.3 billion. (Waze was started in Israel and moved its headquarters to Silicon Valley.)…

by Sam Raimi Genre: Action& Adventure Released: 2013 Price: $14.99 4.0/5.0 252 Ratings OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Everyone needs a little fantasy in their lives, and that’s what makes all iterations of Wizard of Oz so special, and why I’s been a part of our lives seemingly forever. Most likely anyone young enough to enjoy the technology behind AppleMagazine doesn’t remember a time when the Wizard of Oz story didn’t exist. Most of us grew up with it. Just when you think we know the L. Frank Baum backwards and forwards, they surprise us. We’re familiar with the story from the standpoint of Dorothy, but with the new film, Oz the Great and Powerful, we get to see the story from the standpoint of the Wizard himself, and learn…

13 BLACK5ABBATH Black Sabbath is BLACK SAB BATH ... -mostly known for its caricature of a lead signer, Ozzy Osbourne. This man has definitely had his ups and downs, with his downs being the more celebrated of his qualities. He’s even had his ups and downs within the group. Regardless, they have put it all behind them to release a new album, 13. The heavy metal rock band has been together for forty-five years, with and without Ozzy. He initially left after the first decade when the band ousted him for his heavy drug use. Ozzy moved on to a solo career, and Black Sabbath replaced him with Ronnie James Dio of the band Rainbow. After a revolving vocalist lineup, Osbourne rejoined the group in 1997 to release the live…

What if Apple introduced a new handheld product and nobody knew about it? That was essentially the case last week when the tech giant introduced a new model of its iPod touch, as reported by AppleInsider. The company didn’t hold one of its famous press events. Heck, it didn’t even put out a press release. To announce the new arrival, Apple did little more than update a page deep within the iPod area of its website and put a “new” tag next to a smallish picture of the device on the homepage of its Web store. Introduced on May 29, the new device is a cheaper, less capable model of the fifth generation iPod touch that Apple introduced last September. It comes with 16 gigabytes of storage space; previously the…

Has Apple lost the innovative edge that it enjoyed under the late Steve Jobs, and is there any chance of it being regained? Those are the questions that have been increasingly vexing industry observers since the passing of the California firm's former CEO in late 2011, as Apple’s stock price has slumped and incumbent boss Tim Cook has seemingly struggled to quell growing shareholder discontent. Now we have the chance to see more of the case for the defense, in the form of the company’s 2013 Developer’s Conference. Monday’s keynote has given us plenty to talk about, and in addition to the space given to the many highlights of this year’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) in this week’s issue of AppleMagazine, the next few weekly issues will see us explore…

Throughout the last few months, Apple has been treated somewhat like a redheaded stepchild. The stock prices have taken a dive and naysayers and competitors have been saying Apple’s previous innovative style was dried up and that they had nothing new to offer. Tim Cook and the other Apple execs proved them all wrong during Monday’s Apple Keynote at the WWDC. We’ll go into all of these changes in depth in later issues, but today we’re going to take a look at how these new innovations are going to affect you and your lifestyle, because after all, that’s what using Apple products is all about. Lifestyle. With every single app we download, it makes us live our life at little easier, or at least with a lot more fun. Apple…

by Ric Roman Waugh Genre: Action& Adventure Released: 2013 Price: $14.99 4.0/5.0 22 Ratings Dwayne Johnson had a decent career wrestling under the name The Rock. He was able to make the transition that not many are able to make - t o becoming an action and comedy film star. It doesn’t seem like he’ll be slowing down on either front any time soon. This week iTunes released yet another his films, Snitch, and earlier this year he won yet another wrestling title. Johnson actually started out his career as a professional football player. He was cut after just a few months of playing for the Canadian Football League. He then turned to the family profession of professional wrestling, following his father, grandfather, uncles, and cousins. He moved on to…

by Don Scardino Genre: Comedy Released: 2013 Price: $14.99 3.0/5.0 33 Ratings Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’ greatest deception is their public friendship, as secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerrilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act - both onstage and off - if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.…

THE GOO GOO DOLLS Genre: Pop Released: June 11, 2013 By: Warner Bros. Records 13 Songs Price: $9.99 4.0/5.0 413 Ratings Goo Goo Dolls have had a successful career with the hits Name, Iris, Slide, and others, but we haven’t heard much from them lately. The band that originally formed in 1985 hasn’t had any number one songs since those earlier released classics, other than Give a Little Bit that was released eight years ago. They’ll try again to get something going with their recently-released 13. For a band with such an interesting name, it doesn’t seem to be one that even has a great story to it. The band originally called themselves “The Sex Maggots” until a club owner refused to put that name on the marquee. The band…

The Steve Jobs bio-picture "JOBS" is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters Aug. 16, Open Road Films announced. The movie stars Ashton Kutcher as the late Apple computer founder. Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine co-star. The producers of "JOBS" described it in a Tuesday news release as a "film chronicling the story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout to one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.” "'JOBS' details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2001," the release said. "The film plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve…

Three computer security researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are rattling Apple Inc.'s cage, reporting that they have figured out how to hack into mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads through a USB charger. Chengyu Song and Yeongjin Jang, both doctoral students, and Billy Lau, a staff researcher at Tech's College of Computing, said they were able to bypass Apple software security and install "arbitrary software." The three plan to discuss their work _ which Tech says was done in the name of enhancing security _ at next month’s Black Hat computer security conference in Las Vegas. A Tech spokesman on Thursday said the trio won't be commenting until then. It’s unclear how serious or widespread the threat is to Apple mobile device users. "We have notified Apple…

One spring a couple of years ago I was about to confront a travel writer’s nightmare: being invited to partake of a nation's most treasured commodity and yet not knowing whether or not I would be able to cope while doing so. Enter Dublin and its number one tourist attraction called The Guinness Storehouse at St. James’ Gate Brewery. The problem was that while I love seminal architecture, I hate drinking beer. So, while I couldn't wait to enjoy this 250-year-old brewery and all its intricate nooks and crannies, I wasn’t so thrilled with the fact that I was expected to imbibe in the very product that is still produced in this massive space today. To get ready I loaded the free Guinness Storehouse app, feeling my fear might give…

SAN FRANCISCO - Top law enforcement officials from San Francisco and New York plan to meet with some of the nation's largest smartphone makers next week to help thwart the rise in cellphone thefts and robberies. San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will lead the meeting June 13 in New York City. Gascon and Schneiderman said they plan to meet with representatives from Apple Inc., Google Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Microsoft Corp. and urge them to create new technology to permanently and quickly disable stolen smartphones, making them worthless to thieves. In San Francisco, where more than half of all robberies involve a cellphone, Gascon has called on the companies to create new technology such as a “kill switch” to render…
