‘Rainbow Six Siege’ raids PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 13th
While The Division might not be launching in 2015 (it was pushed back to early 2016), you’ll have at least one way to get your Tom Clancy gaming fix this year. Ubisoft has announced that Rainbow Six Siege will ship worldwide on October 13th. The counter-terrorist raid shooter will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and players who pre-order will have guaranteed access to a closed beta test. It’s hard to say if this title will do justice to the original Rainbow Six games it’s trying to follow, but you’ll know for sure in about five months.

Sunrise calendar app tweaks your keyboard for easy scheduling
If you’re as big a fan of the Sunrise calendar app as the folks at Microsoft, scheduling meetings just got a lot easier. There’s a new feature called Meet that adds a tab to your device’s keyboard offering quick and easy access to your availability. Not only can you immediately see what time slots you have free without navigating elsewhere, but you can select a handful of options to send to your colleagues, friends and family. Once they decide what works best, Sunrise automatically schedules the event for you. And it even works for folks who aren’t using the app. All of that means that you’ll save a significant amount of time inputting dates and swiping through multiple apps. Itchin’ to give it a go? Both the Android and iOS versions have been updated with the new tool, so you can start thinking about what you’ll do with all of that extra time.

Apple wants to stop RadioShack from selling your data
When RadioShack went bankrupt, it put shoppers’ data up for sale alongside its brand name and stores. Well, Apple isn’t happy with that data scattering to the four winds — it’s joining AT&T and other objectors by filing a motion to block attempts to sell customers’ information. The Cupertino crew argues that the info isn’t part of RadioShack’s bankruptcy estate, and that selling off this content would breach both Apple’s privacy policy as well as a reseller deal. There’s no question that the motion is as much about protecting Apple’s hide as it is yours (the company doesn’t want to lose data to competitors), but it could mean a lot if it prevents a shady marketing firm from annoying you down the road.

HTC Car app gets moved into the Play Store for easy updating
The HTC Car app claimed a new home in the Play Store this morning. Owners of select HTC devices will notice that an update has been pushed to the device; however, there is not actually an update. The changelog reads “Now available for updates on the Play Store.” Doing so allows HTC to easily update its app that enables car mode for drivers. Rather than making users wait for device software updates, changes can be made from the Play Store.
Could this move have anything to do with the company’s potential push into automobiles? We will have to wait and see.

HTC Zoe gets Chromecast support, content re-ordering, and improved
Today HTC introduced a new update to its Zoe app, bringing Chromecast support, content re-ordering, and an improved upload experience. While the usefulness of Zoe — HTC’s video-sharing social app — can be debated depending on who you ask, for those that do enjoy the app, having a way to watch it on the big screen is a major plus and one we are really surprised HTC took so long in implementing.
Moving on to the other changes, you can now reorder the content you put into your Zoe clips, making it easy to choose what photos and videos go in what order. The last big change deals with upload performance, as HTC is now making it easy to retry uploads if you lose connection to a network in the middle of the process. As you probably guessed, there are also some bug fixes here, with the most substantial fix being for a bug that previously caused video playback to pause when changing device orientation.
To grab the update you’ll want to head on over to Google Play. Keep in mind that Zoe is no longer an HTC handset exclusive, with a number of devices supporting it these days.
