Dropbox released its newest Android App iteration yesterday with a revamped layout and better functionality. Were the new app a kitten, it'd now do back-flips and be 500MB larger for college students. That's right, a 500MB back-flipping kitten. On your phone.
Radio 3 listeners are in for an unusually exciting experience this Christmas, thanks to the BBC testing out a "binaural" system that it hopes will create a believable surround sound effect for listeners using headphones.
