Apple Push Notification Service (commonly referred to as Apple Notification Service or APNs) is a platform notification service created by Apple Inc. that enables third party application developers to send notification data to applications installed on Apple devices.

The notification information sent can include badges, sounds, newsstand updates, or custom text alerts.

It was first launched with iOS 3.0 on June 17, 2009.

APNs support for local applications was later added to the Mac OS X API beginning with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 ("Lion").

Support for website notifications were later added with the release of Mac OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks").

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts").

Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.

In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited.

MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.

The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Electronic publishing (also referred to as e-publishing or digital publishing or online publishing) includes the digital publication of e-books, digital magazines, and the development of digital libraries and catalogues.

Electronic publishing has become common in scientific publishing where it has been argued that peer-reviewed scientific journals are in the process of being replaced by electronic publishing.

It is also becoming common to distribute books, magazines, and newspapers to consumers through tablet reading devices, a market that is growing by millions each year, generated by online vendors such as Apple's iTunes bookstore, Amazon's bookstore for Kindle, and books in the Google Play Bookstore.

Market research suggests that half of all magazine and newspaper circulation will be via digital delivery by the end of 2015 and that half of all reading in the United States will be done without paper by 2015.

Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider.

The verb "to stream" refers to the process of delivering or obtaining media in this manner; the term refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself, and is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file for the content before watching or listening to it.

Desktop publishing (abbreviated DTP) is the creation of documents using page layout skills on a personal computer primarily for print.

Desktop publishing software can generate layouts and produce typographic quality text and images comparable to traditional typography and printing.

This technology allows individuals, businesses, and other organizations to self-publish a wide range of printed matter.

Desktop publishing is also the main reference for digital typography.

When used skillfully, desktop publishing allows the user to produce a wide variety of materials, from menus to magazines and books, without the expense of commercial printing.
