Apple is working on code that would make LinkedIn easier to use on iPhones and iPads, according to 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman. Software tester Hamza Sood spotted the unfinished code, and other disabled features like nesting folders and multitasking gestures, and sent it to 9to5Mac. Apple hasn't announced the feature, but if it does get turned on, that means LinkedIn will work with iOS like it does with Facebook and Twitter. Users will sign in once and be able to easily post content to LinkedIn through iOS applications. LinkedIn integration with iOS would make sense. At its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, Apple announced that its next Mac operating system, OS X Mavericks, would be integrated with Linkedin. Apple PC users will be able to share info and stay up-to-date with their LinkedIn peeps. But, as Gurman also points out, the unfinished code doesn't mean the feature will appear. Apple supposedly tested Facebook integration in a previous version of iOS(some say iOS 4, some say iOS 5), but Facebook didn't appear until iOS 6. We've reached out to Apple for comment.

An insurance company in Guatemala is suing Microsoft for allegedly raiding its offices with armed police officers to search for pirated software. Paul Brinkmann of the South Florida Business Journal, first reported on the lawsuit on Monday. Here's what the company, Seguros Universales SA of Guatemala City, claims happened during the April 2012 raid: "Microsoft appeared with armed Guatemalan law enforcement officers and halted plaintiffs’ business operations. Microsoft then proceeded to extort Plaintiffs by demanding an on-the-spot agreement to pay $70,000 or Microsoft would remove all… servers containing ALL data and operational software." Seguros Universales also alleges that Microsoft tried to strong-arm other Guatemalan insurance firms into paying on-the-spot fines for using pirated software, Brinkmann reported. But Microsoft has a different version of how things went down. "Seguras Universales confessed to a Guatemalan judge and prosecutor that it used illegal software and freely entered into an agreement to compensate Microsoft for its wrongdoing," a Microsoft spokesperson told us in an email. "This suit is a meritless attempt to distract from its own software piracy, and we look forward to addressing the claims," the spokesperson said. Microsoft is a member of the Business Software Alliance, an industry group that tracks usage of illegal software. In a 2011 survey, the BSA found that 79% of software in use in Guatemala is pirated, compared to 61% for Latin America as a whole, and 42% globally.SEE ALSO: Microsoft Is Making Its Version Of Siri A Faster, Better Listener Join the conversation about this story »

Despite the broader downturn in the industry, the PC gaming market grew 8% last year. No wonder we've seen an uptick in the number of gaming-oriented motherboards. These boards are similar to typical enthusiast fare, but they're usually endowed with more premium peripherals and electrical components—and priced higher to match.MSI's Z87-GD65 Gaming is different. While the board has fancy components, a Killer NIC, and Creative-enhanced integrated audio, its $180 asking price is much lower than that of typical ATX gaming boards, ...Read more...

If you’re unable to access Facebook, it’s not only you. The site is currently down for some users (including several of The Next Web’s team). Heading to the site shows an error message: Down For Everyone Or Just Me also says the site is down on its end. We have already contacted Facebook for clarification on the situation and will update with any response provided. Earlier this year in February, Facebook also suffered an outage lasting about an hour, but a cause for the downtime wasn’t provided. A similar situation in October last year was put down to “a change to DNS as part of a traffic optimization test.” Image Credit: Lionel Bonaventure via AFP/Getty Images
