Apple has started updating its ”Start something new” website in a number of countries. The site showcases artistic work created on Apple products. This year’s refresh highlights creations from twelve new artists, made with the iPhone 6s, iPad Pro, and MacBook Pro. The new website makes use of motion, moving around to different pieces as you drag your cursor around the screen. ”Start something new” also dedicates a small page to each artist, delving a bit into how they created their piece, along with the apps they used to do so. These apps include things like Procreate for painting and sketching on the iPad, or Darkroom, for editing photos on your iPhone. Apple launched ”Start something new” last year to highlight creativity with Apple devices. The updated site is now live in a number of countries, including Australia, New Zealand, India, and Vietnam, and the update will likely make its way to the U.S. soon.

Twitter has hired a new Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion, bringing over Jeffrey Siminoff from Apple. At Apple since September 2013, Siminioff was previously Apple’s Director of Worldwide Inclusion & Diversity. Siminoff is also a founding member of LGBT advocacy organization Out Leadership, and previously worked at Morgan Stanely. From Fortune: While Siminoff was at Apple, the company had a few high-profile public moments related to diversity, especially surrounding gay rights.

Siminoff will be replacing Janet Van Huysse, who has been with Twitter for six years, leading the company’s human resources department. It will be interesting to see how Siminoff tackles diver…

The iMore Hall of Fame recognizes the apps and creators that have advanced and inspired the community through the insanely great application of Apple technologies. 25 years are required, following a recording’s debut, before it can qualify for the rock and roll hall of fame. Five years are required, following a player’s retirement, before they can qualify for the baseball hall of fame. And only a handful are inducted each year. The iMore Hall of Fame is modeled similarly. Apps have to be on the market for at least five years before they, and their creators, can be inducted, and we’ve limited our selections to a maximum of ten inductees per year, including both OS X and iOS. Last year we began playing catch-up with the Mac, inducting for both 2012 and 2013. This year we complete that process, inducting for both 2014 and 2015. Half a decade post-launch, we also get to include our first generation of iPad apps and creators as well. This is the iMore Hall of Fame. 2015 Came…
