• Apple Updates Podcasts App to Version 1.2 Today Apple released an update for the stock Podcasts app on iOS. New to the app are custom stations that will update automatically when new episodes are available and support for On-The-Go Playlists.

• Google's Chrome, Android Systems to Stay Separate After Google's Chrome boss Sundar Pichai took over all things Android, speculation arose that the two divisions might somehow combine in the near future. However, Chairman Eric Schmidt has stated that both will remain separate products with potentially more overlap. [Reuters]
• Understand Your World with Bing Bing is updating it's Knowledge Graph-esque Snapshot feature to include more information on search subjects. Searches for people will now cull information from social networks, while searches for places will display relevant information about the surrounding area along with the answer to any question included in your query.
