Google Grabs Bump: Popular File Sharing App Acquired by Search Giant
In a recent announcement, Google has acquired bump, a popular file sharing app for iOS and Android devices. The concept behind bump is straightforward - simply bump two phones together to share contact information, pictures, and other files. With desktop integration, users can seamlessly transfer data between their devices. While there is no word on how Google plans to implement bump's technology into the future of Android, it is likely that we will see bump and its companion photo sharing app Flock integrated into the OS before long.
Siri Sheds Its Beta Tag
When Siri first launched in Fall 2011, it was accompanied by a cumbersome beta caveat. However, that addendum is no more, as Apple has recently changed the Siri landing page on their official site to reflect Siri's non-beta status. This suggests that Apple is looking to move forward with a more capable and improved digital assistant. With the upcoming release of iOS 7 tomorrow, we can expect even more functionality to be added to Siri, potentially leading to a smoother user experience.
Blizzard Shuts Down Diablo 3 Auction Houses
In a surprising announcement, Blizzard has dropped a bombshell on Diablo III players by announcing plans to completely shut down both real money and gold auction houses for the game. The decision comes after long-time fans argued that the auction houses detract from the fun of the game, with some even taking to social media to express their discontent. It appears that Blizzard has taken note of these concerns and is looking to implement a new loot 2.0 system in conjunction with the shutdown of the auction houses, hoping to help balance the game's economy.
Aonuma Speaks About Potential Majora's Mask Remake
Long-time Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma recently spoke to IGN about a potential Majora's Mask remake. When asked directly about the possibility of a remake, Aonuma responded by laughing and stating that it was up to his fans to interpret his laughter in the way they saw fit.

However, considering Nintendo's current push for the Wind Waker HD remake, this possibility remains intriguing.
