Sure, CBS CEO Les Moonves has had some harsh words for streaming TV service Aereo, filing suit against it and even threatening to stop free broadcasts of its shows if the company is allowed to keep operating — but that doesn’t mean CBS has written off streaming broadcast TV altogether. Yesterday, the US’s second-largest TV network announced that it acquired a minority stake in a company...

Ten months ago, Apple proudly announced nine partners that were signed up to integrate Apple's Siri personal assistant into their cars. BMW, Mercedes, GM, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda logos were all projected onto Apple's WWDC screen, with the promise that Siri-integrated cars would be coming within a year. But where are all of those cars? A few models have arrived, but the vast majority of the companies named last year refuse to detail if and when Apple-friendly models will arrive. Why? As Wired reveals, models set for release in 2014 were designed up to five years ago. Infotainment systems are planned years before a vehicle is launched, and typically won't be upgraded. So more Siri-integrated cars are likely coming, but don't hold your breath for an imminent release.

Cars take up to five years to make it to market

Of course, Tempo's Smart Calendar isn't perfect and in the short time since it found itself overwhelmed, competitors like Sunrise and Osito have sprung up. We're eager to find a...

Chinese pirate site 7659 is exploiting Apple's bulk enterprise licensing tools to distribute free versions of paid App Store applications. Bulk enterprise licensing is supposed to let businesses send in-house apps to employees without dealing with Apple's App Store. It works via a developer provisioning profile, which facilitates "sideloading" of sorts without jailbreaking.

The site is only open to users in China, but that restriction can be...

Osito for iPhone: can this minimalist Google Now clone make a splash before the real thing?

There is no shortage of Google Now clones for iPhone, but none of them successfully emulate Google's concise and tasteful representation of data. Tempo focuses too much on being a "smart" calendar, cluttering your screen with email attachments related to your events, while Grokr soils results with restaurant recommendations. Osito, a free app launching today for iPhone, wants to do the opposite: provide you with only the most essential...
