There is currently a Messages app exploit going around that is causing iPhones to crash, and sometimes resulting in the user having to restore the phone. Apple is aware of the issue and working on releasing a fix, but in the meantime the best way to safeguard yourself against this is to go into Settings-> [...]
Speaking of accessibility, Apple has added a cool new feature to make OS X even better for the blind. Turn on the new video descriptions feature and Yosemite’s voiceover will add a spoken voice to the video content on the screen, providing an even richer experience for the visually impaired.

Like iOS 7, Yosemite flattens and brightens OS X as part of its new interface, lightening the shadows and using transparency to generate depth and dimension. But if you're not running apps full-screen it can get distracting, so if you want to turn it off, you need only make a visit to the Accessibility settings. [...]

If you like to organize your apps in Launchpad, Apple has finally lifted the limit on how many can fit inside folders. They work similar to the way they do in iOS; once there are too many to display on one page, a tiny white dot will appear; swipe left or click on it and [...]
If you want your Mac to understand your words, you’ll need to turn that function on — like always — inside the Dictation & Speech pane in System Preferences. But if you want to enable Enhanced Dictation for offline use in Yosemite, it’s a separate 1.2GB download, so make sure you turn it on before [...]
If you have a bunch of apps installed, Apple's built-in search bar is a fine way to quickly find the ones that are buried in crowded folders, but in iOS 8, Spotlight is far more powerful. Not only will it find your contacts, music, and mail in a flash, it'll also search the web, trawling [...]
