The US Patent Office Pays Tribute to Steve Jobs

by Cody on Nov 23, 2011

It’s been over a month now since Steve Jobs passed away, and people around the world are still trying to find ways to pay their respects to the fallen leader. We’ve seen several tributes to Jobs over the past 30 days, but perhaps none more touching than this.

The New York Times points to a new exhibit erected in the United States Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, Virginia in honor of the late CEO. The display, which is made up of 30 giant iPhones, showcases all of the inventor’s 300+ patents… Read More

 

How to Use Facebook’s Timeline Feature on the iPad

by Cody on Nov 23, 2011

In September, Facebook unveiled one of the biggest changes to its user profiles since the social networking site launched in 2004: Timelines. The new addition takes boring news feed-based profiles and gives them a storyboard-like feel.

The feature not only makes profiles appear more personal, but also seems perfectly suited for a tablet display. Given Facebook’s track record with iPad releases, however, don’t expect it to incorporate Timelines into its iPad app anytime soon… Read More

 

New iPad Cable Allows You to Transfer Photos from Your iPhone

by Cody on Nov 23, 2011

According to Flickr’s image upload data, a lot of people use their iPhone as their main camera. Not only is the iPhone 4 the most popular camera (not smartphone, camera) on the photo-sharing site, but Flickr’s top 4 cameraphones are iPhones.

And the iPad, well, we all know how popular Apple’s tablet is. USBFever might actually be onto something with its new cable accessory that connects the two products, allowing users to transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad with little effort… Read More

 

Microsoft: We’ve Had Siri for Over a Year!

by Cody on Nov 23, 2011

Since Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S last month, everyone has been talking about one thing: Siri. The lovable assistant is the product of over 40 years of artificial intelligence research and the US CALO program (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes).

Siri isn’t apparently exclusive to Apple’s handset. Microsoft’s chief strategy and research officer Craig Mundie recently told Forbes that Microsoft has had similar voice control tech on its Windows Phone platform for more than a year!

We know, we didn’t see that one coming either… Read More

 

Apple Takes Control of 7 Porn Domain Names

by Sebastien on Nov 23, 2011

Is Apple getting into the porn business? Of course not. They’re just trying to protect their brand and trademarks.

Apple initially filed a complaint with World Intellectual Property Forum last month over seven domains–iphone4s.com, iphonecamforce.com, iphonecam4s.com, iphoneporn4s.com, iphonesex4s.com, iphonexxxforce.com and porn4iphones.com–that forwarded to a porn site when visited on a mobile device. Before the complaint could escalate further, the owner–believed to be an Israeli company whose identity is protected by whois privacy–agreed to turn the domain names over to Apple.

Even though Apple already took control of these domains, they are still redirecting to dirty sites. Probably not for much longer.

 

New eBook Collects All of the Emails that Steve Jobs Sent Over the Years

by Alex Heath on Nov 23, 2011

Steve Jobs was know for sporadically emailing fans and random inquirers from his public Apple email address. He would give famous one-liners about hot issues, like when he said that Apple wasn’t tracking its users during the Location Services scandal back in April.

Jobs would occasionally send out encouraging emails, like the time he emailed the Apple Store employees in Japan during the earthquake and tsunami disasters. All of these emails, and more, have been collected in a new eBook called, Letters to Steve: Inside the E-mail Inbox of Apple’s Steve Jobs. Read More

 

iCloud Apple ID Security Flaw Plaguing Some Users

by Oliver Haslam on Nov 23, 2011

One of iOS 5′s marquee features is the ability to backup and restore devices from iCloud without the need for iTunes or any of those pesky wires. Let’s be frank, we’ve all got hundreds of those little white USB cables, but can we find one when we need it? We know we never can!

As is so often the case with such new and ambitious services as iCloud, it appears that the process is not without its problems, more specifically, problems surrounding a possible security risk.

According to Electronista, there appears to be a real issue that could potentially reveal the Apple IDs of random users… Read More
