iMessage bubble change color in iOS 7


What amazes me with Apple is their detail oriented approach. It's those little things that makes me admire iOS.

Take this as an example.

Did you know that the color of the iMessage bubble in iOS 7 transitions when dragged from bottom to top of your screen?

Yep, the color changes from dark blue (bottom) to light blue (top).

Go ahead, check it out. Cool, huh?!

Apple TV 2 Restore

Have you tried updating or restoring your apple tv 2?

Well, I've tried....many many times. And every time I always encounter Error 14. 

At first I'm not sure what is going on with the error. But after scouring the web, I found out something that I needed to do. So here are the steps I've done. 

1. Open iTunes. 
2. Unplug your apple tv 2 - power cable, hdmi, and LAN. 
3. Connect your apple tv to your pc through a micro USB cable. 
4. Let iTunes detect your apple tv 2. It should be in Restore Mode at this point.
5. Once detected connect your apple tv 2's power cable.
6. Restore your apple tv 2 by clicking Shift+Restore.

After these, the restore process should continue. 

So, how did it went for you?

iOS6: iTunes App Detects Your Music

Like what I said before, aside from the revamp of the iTunes app's interface, a couple of features has been added and one of this is the ability to detect the songs you have. When searching for songs, instead of a price, it will show a "PLAY" button. After clicking, it will launch your music app then play that song.

iOS6: Delete Songs

With the new music app interface, it also includes additional feature - the ability to delete songs in your iPhone.

iOS6: No More Message Icon

One thing that I noticed that's missing now in iOS6 - the new text message icon near the battery icon. Yup, it's gone. So, whenever you receive a new text message, you will no longer see the bubble icon.
