Microsoft today updated Skype for Xbox One with full Snap support. In other words, gamers can finally make a Skype voice or video call while using other apps, including playing video games. Snap is the Xbox One feature that lets you use two apps on your TV at once. Ever since launch, and until now, you could only snap other apps into Skype for Xbox One (although, there was an option to have a Skype audio call in the background). Today’s update means the reverse is now possible, meaning you can finally see and hear your friends while playing games,…

I hate listening to iPhone ringtones. When my alarm goes off every morning, it’s the default ‘Opening’ track that pulls me away from some much-needed shut-eye. Just hearing it in the street makes me shudder. YouTube user ‘itsMetroGnome‘ has managed to change my tune though. By remixing various iPhone ringtones into a fresh electronica track, he’s given me a newfound appreciation for some of Apple’s classic audio samples. So stick some headphones on, press play and listen to this masterpiece. Maybe Apple should give him a slot at the next iTunes Festival? ➤ YouTube [via Digg]
