June 05, 2016 by macjeff

To honour the life of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, Apple has updated its homepage with his picture and a quote from him.

The legendary boxer passed away on Saturday at age 74. Ali was admitted into hospital earlier in the week due to respiratory issues. He was also suffering from Parkison’s disease from a long time that further worsened matters.

Ali’s photo is accompanied by one of his legendary quotes – “Tye man who has no imagination has no wings.”

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." Rest in peace #MuhammadAli

— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) June 4, 2016

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and Phil Schiller had also tweeted commemorative tweets about Ali.

The great boxer had featured in Apple’s ‘Think Different’ ad in 1997.

Dawn has arrived, blasting harmful sun rays down towards the nocturnal creature.

As you cautiously travel down quiet streets, you must utilize a magic amulet to spin the island and create seamless routes of darkness. The game includes wonderful 3-D graphics, an eerie soundtrack, 48 levels spanning four stages, six variously skilled vampires unlocked by collecting coins, iCloud support, and leaderboards via Game Center.

Cameraxis is a graphic designer’s dream come true. It allows you to import any photo from your library, take a new photo from within the app, import content from social networks, or utilize pre-designed patterns and backgrounds. Whatever content you choose can be cropped down to size manually or automatically. Cameraxis then allows you to adjust the properties of your photos in a wide variety of ways, and apply hundreds of different artistic designs, text, and filters.

The objective is to connect all of the numbers in ascending order without touching the lines you’ve already created. The process of doing so, however, requires a deft hand and a little strategy. Make sure to utilize the viewfinder in the top left corner of the screen, otherwise you won't stand a chance. The game includes an unlimited number of randomly generated levels, adaptive difficulty levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Uncle Henry is back at it again. This time he needs you and your newly acquired archeology skills to help him track down a mysterious artifact known to be hidden in the Castle Blackthorn in England.

A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

It provides you with the freedom to take notes however you wish, whether that’s by scribbling down your thoughts, annotating images and webpages, or simply by typing what you hear. Thanks to its built-in task manager, you’ll also be able to make sure your projects and assignments are completed on time.

But it’s not only about taking away. Relook can also highlight and brighten your eyes, change your eye color, add volume to lashes and brows, and even whiten teeth with just the touch of your finger.

Then hand your iDevice off to your toddler and allow them to tap away. When they tap on an object, stars will fly out and a voice will pronounce its name. You're also able to print cutouts right from within the app so you and your child can continue the experience away from the screen.

Digit Shelves presents you with five different numbers: 10, 20, 100, 500, and 1,000. Each number has spaces to fill with more numbers. At the bottom of the screen you’ll be presented with a random number, and you must place it in a space with a drag and drop. The idea is to fill the spaces with numbers in order to create the largest possible numbers without going over.
