Instagram has a new logo – actually, it’s a whole new look that’s shared across their other apps too – Layout, Boomerang and Hyperlapse.
Voila –
From the Sauce, Ian Spalter, Instagram’s head of design:
“The Instagram logo and design was beginning to feel, well… not reflective of the community, and frankly we thought we could make it better.”
He goes on to thank the Instagram community for it’s ‘life and color’:
“You make Instagram a place to discover the wonder in the world. Every photo and video — from the littlest things to the most epic — opens a window for people to broaden their experiences and connect in new ways.”
Do you pluralize when you talk about multiple Apple devices? Do you care if it’s right that you do/don’t? Well, if you do – here’s the lowdown, care of Apple executive Phil Schiller.
This week on Twitter, Phil clarified that it isn’t necessary to pluralize Apple product names.
Schiller’s grammar lesson came after a discussion on pluralizing “iPad Pro” between Andreessen Horowitz partner Benedict Evans and iMore analyst Michael Gartenberg. Evans referred to more than one iPad Pro as “iPads Pro,” while Gartenberg said “iPad Pros.”
Uh uh, guys. According to Phil, neither approach was correct. The proper way to refer to more than one iPad Pro is to call them “iPad Pro devices.”
Also, it’s “I have 3 Macintosh,” or “I have 4 Macintosh computers” when referring to more than one Mac.
“Words can be both singular and plural, such as deer and clothes,” he explained. By that logic, more than one iPhone would need to be referred to as iPhone devices or iPhone models rather than “iPhones.”
As Business Insider pointed out, in press releases, Apple themselves has made mention of “iPhones” in the plural form. So, call them whatever you want, we guess.
A week ahead of Mother’s Day, Apple has launched a new commercial centering around a collection of images and video of mothers interacting with their children. The spot continues Apple’s “Shot on iPhone” advertising campaign, with each piece captioned by the amateur iPhone user who captured the moment.
Apple began its “Shot on iPhone” campaign early in 2015, showcasing images collected from both professional and amateur photographers around the world. More recently, Apple’s iPhone campaign has focused on portraying the features of the device, like Touch ID and Siri.
But, not on any regular programming. This is a whole new world, after all, they’re bringing back the show, but they’re futurefying it. Starting in June the new series will air weekly – on Snapchat.
Yup, you read that right. MTV Cribs on Snapchat. The show will also not have producers or be shot by a camera crew – rather, the footage will be shot by the celebrities themselves.
The show starts with a look into Mac Miller’s and Austin Mahone’s homes.
According to United States Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey, in order to access the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook, the agency paid more than $1.3 million clams.
He said this in a rather round about way – by saying that the amount was more than what he will make in the next seven years and four months as director of the FBI. Comey’s annual salary is $183,300.
MATH!
From the sauce himself when asked the question:
“A lot. More than I will make in the remainder of this job, which is seven years and four months for sure,” Comey said. “But it was, in my view, worth it.”
According to the rumors, the iPhone held no contacts or messages that would help in the investigation, but it may have taken out the idea that he had contacted a 3rd party after the attacks, or that family or friends were involved.
The method used by the hackers to access the iPhone 5c owned by Farook does not work on the iPhone 5s or newer, but the FBI can continue to use it to access iPhone 5c devices running iOS 9. The hack, however is apparently not being given to Apple.
6.2 and 7.0 earthquakes rocked southwest Japan on April 14th and 16th, and, also on April 16th, a 7.8 earthquake shook Ecuador.
To help those affected, you can now donate to the American Red Cross through iTunes and the App Store. This is done via credit cards that are on file with Apple, and you can donate very easily – $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or $200.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was once again named one of “the 100 most influential people” by TIME magazine in its annual list recognizing individuals who have made a major impact on the world.
Alongside each of the 100 influential people in the magazine, an essay is written by an associate of theirs. Cook’s was written by Disney CEO Bob Iger.
From the sauce:
“Apple is known for elegant, innovative products that change the world by transforming how we connect, create and communicate, as well as how we work, think and act. Its continued success requires a leader of great courage and character who demands excellence, upholds the highest ethical standards and routinely challenges the status quo, including encouraging vital conversations about who we are as a culture and a community.
Tim Cook is that kind of leader.
Behind his soft-spoken demeanor and Southern manners is a focused fearlessness that comes from deep personal conviction. Tim is committed to doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time and for the right reasons. As CEO, he’s led Apple to new heights, and he continues to build a global brand that is universally recognized as an industry leader and widely respected for its values.”
Stephen Curry, Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, and Aziz Ansari are also counted as most influential, which is cool. We like all of those people!
