What if I told you a white ninja crashed a car into an Apple Store in Greensboro, NC? You'd probably say "Sebastien, you should take it easy on this medicinal marijuana", right? Now what if I told you that I'm typing this, completely sober, and that a ninja indeed crashed his car into an Apple Store?
I know this sound a little surreal but this did happen earlier today...
Ever wondered what it's going to cost Apple to bring your iCloud dreams to life? Well, according to the New York Post, Apple is paying the record labels a combined total of around $150 million for the rights to stream their music through the iCloud service – add that to the price of its new North Carolina data center and you have a pretty hefty sum.
Apple finalized its iCloud negotiations earlier this week after it struck a deal with Universal Music Group – the last of the four major record labels to sign up to the iCloud service. It has now also secured deals with the corresponding publishers just in time for its unveiling – and possible launch – at WWDC on Monday...
We already know what the iCloud logo will look like, and now thanks to FSM, we know what the login page is going to look like. FSM claims to have had access to this from Apple's internal server, but it's still not clear to me how they got their hands on it.
Although Apple already announced iCloud, we have yet to learn what the service will be offering and how much it will cost ($25/year?). I guess we'll have to wait for Steve Jobs to tell us more about it on Monday...
While your iPhone may be way ahead of rival devices in terms of technical specifications and software, it's severely trailing behind others when it comes to radiation. A study by the Environmental Working Group found that Apple's popular smartphone only gives off an "average" amount of radiation, whereas Motorola handsets come with significantly more.
This CNN report comes after the World Health Organization announced on Tuesday that there was sufficient evidence to categorize exposure to cell phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
Following our report a few days ago that Twitter was going to be integrated into iOS 5, tech evangelist Robert Scoble is adding that not only Twitter will be integrated into iOS 5, but it will actually be built deeply into Apple's latest iOS.
At this point we can only speculate what this deep integration is going to bring to iOS users: widgets, BBM-like messaging system, photo sharing? Your guess is as good as mine...
We've seen our share of fake iPhones in the past but this is without a doubt the best one ever made. It's so close to the real deal that it is even compatible with Apple's official 30 pin connector and headsets.
Have a good look at the pictures below. I dare you to find out which one is real, and which one is fake. In case you can't figure it out, we'll give you the answer at the bottom of the post...
Following in the footsteps of the U.S. Government, the Army is planning to hold desert trials in the U.S. next week to test smartphones and tablets for use during war. Devices include the iPhone and Android-powered handsets, which will be stress-tested with a variety of applications that could see troops using smartphones during battle.
The devices would be used for things lie monitoring surveillance cameras or downloading "up-to-the minute information from a remote database," according to a Wall Street Journal report...
Ever wished you could delete individual phone calls from your call logs on your iPhone? If so, Call Delete is the app for you. Up until now, you could only delete none or all of the missed or placed phone calls from your iPhone, but Call Delete is going to change that by giving you a little more freedom.
Just like you would guess, Call Delete lets you delete specific phone calls from your iPhone logs. If you recently called your ex and you don't want your new girlfriend to find out, this is going to do the trick...
iOS 5 has clearly been a source of creativity for designers across the globe. With the WWDC getting closer, we're seeing more and more of these iOS 5 concepts. From dashboard to app switching, and from widgets to settings, there are tons of great ideas being put out there.
In this iOS 5 concept video, the Monkey Color design studio shows us how they envision Widgets, Settings, Notifications, and Favorite Friends on Apple's upcoming operating system, and it looks good...
Upcoming iPhone software could take GPS data and information from the internet to provide location and situation-aware calendar events and notifications, if a recently released patent application from Apple ever comes to fruition.
Discovered by AppleInsider, and entitled "Dynamic Alerts for Calendar Events" the patent was first applied for back in 2009 but Apple haven't put it to any useful use. Yet...
Wow oh oh. This is probably the most exciting news of the day, even though it doesn't look like much on the surface. If you look at AT&T's website right now, you'll see that they are running out of black iPhone 4s.
They do have the white iPhone 4, and they even have refurbished black iPhone 4, but no new ones. What can that possibly mean? Maybe a new iPhone 5 coming out real soon?
SHSH blobs, despite the slightly comical name are extremely important in the world of iOS jailbreaking. See, the problem with jailbreaking iOS devices is every once in a while you might need to revert to an old firmware version, something Apple isn't too keen on.
When attempting to flash an iDevice with a firmware other than the most current one, iTunes will contact Apple's servers for authentication and because your version of iOS is older than the one currently installed, the server refuses.
Luckily this can be gotten around as with so many things in tech - and this is where SHSH blobs come in, along with a new tool by hacking friend iH8sn0w called iFaith...
