Apple Apologizes For Botched Software Update, And Releases iOS 8.0.2

Apple has already released a new update to IOS, fixing a botched software update.  Just one day after  it’s release,  some iPhone users were left without cellular service, 

“iOS 8.0.2 is now available for users, it fixes an issue that affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who downloaded iOS 8.0.1″

Customers were also having problems with Touch ID, the security feature that allows users to unlock the phone with a fingerprint.

“We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1.”

  If you thought Michael Jackson was the only musician to believe in the magical power of a glove, think again. Imogen Heap has “joined forces with the nerd underworld” to create a new high-tech glove called Mi.Mu that allows you to control sound with your hands. Using lights and motion sensors, the gloves can map a variety of hand gestures to different instruments and sounds, with each pair able to store literally thousands of combinations. It’s a concept she first talked about at TED in 2011.

Right now the gestural music system is being built specifically for Heap, who has already come up with some crazy combinations. One of them, for example, is as follows: “If I am making a fist with my right hand, and pointing downwards with my left hand, map the ‘roll’ of my right wrist to MIDI control change message 60 on channel 2.” Say what? The goal is to make the project open-source so anyone can get in on the action. Pricing on the Mi.Mu’s Kickstarter page, however, represents a product that’s more for pop stars than your average garage band. To get a glove and the necessary electronics you’ll need to shell out 750 pounds ($1260!). If you do decide to invest, the system could certainly add a little flair to your stage presence — as long as you don’t have to sneeze.
