Google offers sweet new SDK to let Android devs join 'Lollipop' guild Managing SSL certificates with ease Android 5.0 "Lollipop" won't ship to the public for a couple more weeks, but Google has tossed developers a bone by releasing the final SDK and system images for select Nexus devices ahead of launch. The new Lollipop SDK that posted on Friday replaces the earlier Android L Developer Preview that the Chocolate Factory offered up at its annual Google I/O conference in June. There's a lot in it for developers to explore. Google describes Lollipop as "the largest Android release yet," with more than 5,000 new APIs. Technically, the release brings Android up to API level 21. From the user's perspective, Lollipop offers the new Material Design theme, improved notifications, better battery life, OpenGL ES 3.1, 64-bit support, and improved performance via the new ART runtime engine, among other features. In addition, the kit offers updated Android 5.0 system images for the Android Emulator for 32-bit, 64-bit, and 32-bit Android TV.
Get an MBA-Equivalent Education with These Free Courses iOS 8 review | The Verge Apple has become a different company this year. It’s undergone major personnel changes, promised to be a more open and friendly company, and released two new iPhones that are clear responses to consumer demand. A year ago, Apple released the most dramatic visual revision to iOS since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007. iOS 7 was a complete visual overhaul, a ditching of the skeuomorphic and obvious designs of years past and replacing them with a flatter, more colorful, and more modern interface. It was a striking visual change: it took some getting used to for longtime iOS users, and some of the design decisions were (and remain) questionable. But iOS 7 was a completely new-looking house built on an existing foundation. With iOS 8, Apple is tearing out the old foundation of iOS and replacing it with a new, friendlier platform.

Android 5.0 Lollipop review Google has been on a mission to redefine itself as a design-focused company for some years now. With the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop on the new Nexus 6 phone and Nexus 9 tablet, that mission has reached an apotheosis. It's a sudden, jarring change from the Android we've known, now combined with a torrent of tweaks and features. It's easily the most important update to the world's most-used mobile OS in several years. It's a big deal. It's hard not to get metaphysical when talking about the design for Lollipop. Jony Ive’s mission at Apple was to get rid of skeuomorphism, where digital things imitate real-world objects. Like I said, it's hard not to get metaphysical. This is Google’s vision for the future of computing. Read our full review of the Nexus 6 Those fuzzy concepts about how an OS should look and feel do have practical effects. If you've used Android before, you don't need to worry about being lost. The best part might be the animations It's also, at times, garish.
Abrechnung der Nebenkosten - Nachzahlen, bitte! - Geld Viele Mieter bekommen in diesen Tagen die Nebenkostenabrechnung für 2013 zugeschickt. Nicht selten wird das teuer. Bevor sie zahlen, sollten sie aber ein paar wichtige Angaben überprüpfen. Jahresendspurt für die zweite Miete: Millionen Mieter bekommen in diesen Wochen noch ihre Nebenkostenabrechnung für das Jahr 2013. Für einen Großteil ist die Post vom Vermieter wieder unerfreulich. Nicht einfach zahlen, sondern erst nachrechnen Denen, die für 2013 noch einmal nachzahlen müssen, hilft die Aussicht auf bessere Zeiten aktuell aber nicht. Nicht nur private Vermieter, sondern auch die Profis in den Hausverwaltungen leisten sich demnach immer wieder Schnitzer beim Abrechnen. Wer unerwartet viel für 2013 nachzahlen muss, sollte seine alte Abrechnung vom Jahr davor heraussuchen und vergleichen. Auch der Vermieter muss sich an Fristen halten: Er hat zwölf Monate Zeit, um die Jahresabrechnung vorzulegen. Kontrollieren lohnt.
