Apple has released the latest beta version of iOS 5 to developers, iOS 5 Beta 5, along with iTunes Beta 5, and it looks like iOS Beta 5 includes a number of bug fixes rather than any major new features.

The update is available to iOS developers for their iOS devices as an OTA update, so we guess Apple is testing out the OTA update feature which will deliver our iOS updates to us in the future.

We are still expecting Apple to release iOS 5 in September and we will probably see the new iPhone 5 at the same time as well as the new iPod Touch with 3G.

In what appears to be the most bizarre title for a Geeky Gadgets post, news is currently circulating about a recent find at the edge of space. Two teams of astronomers have located a huge floating body of water—so huge, it’s almost immeasurable—that’s being consumed by a black hole. The awesome part is the water being sucked by the endless void is coming out the other end as energy.

The actual size of the ‘reservoir’, if calculations are correct, is 140 trillion times greater than our planet’s oceans combined. That’s unimaginable, so leave it’s size at ‘really, really immense’. Though photographs of it are non-existent (the above is an illustrator’s concept), the massive quasar named APM 08279+5255 is reportedly 20 billion times the size of ou ... Read more »

Earlier today we heard from Microsoft that they had asked Google to join them in the bid for the patents from Nortel related to mobile technology, the patents were purchased in the end by a consortium of companies for $4.5 billion, and the companies included Microsoft, Apple and Oracle.

Google’s David Drummond whos is Google’s Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, has responded to Microsoft and basically accused Microsoft of trying to divert attention from the real issue.

It’s not surprising that Microsoft would want to divert attention by pushing a false "gotcha!” while failing to address the substance of the issues we raised. If you think about it, it’s obvious why we turned down Microsoft’s offer. Microsoft’s obj ... Read more »
