Pages, Numbers and Keynote available for anyone via iCloud

It's time to find your Apple ID or create a new one. Apple "Office" ie Pages, Numbers and Keynote are available for anyone via iCloud. While still in beta, service is not aimed at iPad or iPhone just yet. Later this autumn we might see new iOS 7 with integrated iCloud services - and Apple "Office" as well.

How to update Firefox OS based phone Peak

See below my new Firefox OS based phone called Peak from Geeksphone.com. I used to have Firefox OS 1.0 inside when I got the phone. Since Geeksphone published 1.1 update in July 2013 I decided to flash my Peak.





















I read through these instructions: http://firefoxosguide.com/firefox-os/how-to-flash-new-rom-on-your-geeksphone-keon-or-peak.html/ and followed steps from 1 to 7. The only problem I got had to do with the Windows drivers. My laptop is running Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview. After double clicking and installing a file called android_winusb (see picture below) flashing started as promised. In need of drivers look inside the zip-package: http://downloads.geeksphone.com/drivers/usb_driver.zip .


After restarting Peak started first time setup. Device information shows there is a new OS installed (see picture below).
