Linda Reimer

Hi everyone, I know I said in yesterdays’ blog posting that I would discuss how you can get free library e-music and e-videos through the STLS Digital Catalog; however, I have been super swamped today and have not gotten a chance to do a thorough job on the subject because I’ve been so busy. 

Sorry about that! However, there is some new tech news I can relay in brief and that is the news that Apple has released the iOS 6 software update.

The New York Times tech journalist David Pogue has written a nice overview of the basic changes and new features includes in this Apple software upgrade.

His article is titled New iOS 6 Loses Google Maps, but Adds Other Features and here’s the link:

Have a great evening everyone!

YouTube App Disappearing From iPad And iPhone

Linda Reimer

Hi everyone, just a quick afternoon update for all the iPad and iPhone users out there!

When we all upgrade to Apple’s iOS 6 in the fall – the YouTube app, which has come pre-installed on all three generations of the iPad to date, will disappear from our iPads and iPhones. Apple and Google, the owner of YouTube, are experiencing some friction with each other as both try and dominate portions of the tech market Google with its Nexus 7 Tablet and Apple with its iPad and iPhone.

Apple has stated of this change that YouTube will still be accessible through the Safari web browser and that Google is working on a YouTube app to place in Apple’s App Store.

Here’s a link to an Apple Insider article titled Apple removes YouTube app from iOS with beta 4 release of iOS 6:
