JawBone Up gets app integration
JawBone Up users will be glad to hear that the Up API is now open for third party developers to integrate with the Up band. Launch partners (initially for iOS only) include RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal and MapMyFitness, with data recorded in all these apps appearing in the Up app’s timeline and news feed.
Intel’s upcoming Haswell processors reportedly pack in three times the integrated graphics performance of its previous generation of CPUs. Office Cat looks forward to a future where he can play Far Cry 3 in Ultra mode without needing an extra graphics card. Claws crossed.
