Remember that awesome iOS '86 theme concept we showed you last week? The one that looked like it came straight off an old Mac Plus computer? Well it's now available in Cydia for your downloading pleasure.
Conceptualized by designer Anton Repponen, and created by an author named AR7, iOS '86 gives your new school device, an old school feel. And here's how you can install it on your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch...
In January, OnLive introduced a new app called OnLive Desktop, which brings a full version of Windows 7 and Home Office to the iPad for free. OnLive Desktop beams the full version of Windows 7 to the iPad from their gigabit connected servers, and actually works quite well.
Tonight, the OnLive crew has announced a new premium version of the app, called OnLive Desktop Plus, that brings Adobe's Flash technology to the iPad...
A couple weeks ago, we reported that the US Air Force was looking into buying a substantial amount of iPads in order to get rid of all of the paper and charts in their cargo planes, replacing the pilot manuals with electronic versions of the documents.
The deal actually fell through, as NextGov reports the Air Force cancelled its request for bids for 2,861 iPads because of one single application developed in Russia...
In a special edition of ABC's Nightline program last night, correspondent Bill Weir traveled to Apple's main manufacture, Foxconn, to get an inside look at working conditions inside of the plant. During the program, Weir showed workers working on the assembly line, the dormitories they live in, and more.
Apple, Foxconn, and the FLA have today released statements to ABC regarding a few of the things said during last night's program. Apple responded to a claim one worker made, after she said that she carves the aluminum shavings from 6,000 iPad logos per day...
Adding to its large array of ongoing lawsuits, Apple has been sued by patent holding company Brandywine Communications Technologies over two voicemail patents. The lawsuit was filed in a local Florida court on Tuesday, reports GigaOm.
The patents in questions are No. 6,236,717 and No. 5,719,922, which were filed in 2001 and 1998 respectively by Brandywine. One patent is officially described as...
Last week, Apple lodged a complaint against Motorola with the European Commission regarding FRAND abuse. Apple believes that Motorola is not making its standards-essentials patents available under Fair, Reasonable, and Non Discriminatory terms.
The truth is, Apple's right. Motorola is asking the iPhone-maker for a ridiculous 2.25% of Apple's wireless device sales in exchange for the use of its industry-standard patents. Is Motorola becoming a patent troll? Microsoft seems to think so...
Apple and five other companies agreed today to new standards for showing users the privacy policies associated with apps offered in their app stores. The new agreement will improve privacy protection for customers around the world.
Spotted by MacRumors, California's Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced the news in a press release, today...
Apple has been in the media as of late for their manufacturing plant Foxconn. Many have profiled the plant as having terrible working conditions, but when we got an inside look last night, things didn't look as bad as previously depicted. The FLA is currently inside of Foxconn inspecting conditions and is poised to publish a report soon.
Today, at another China plant that manufacturers screens for the iPhone, two workers who claimed they were poisoned on the job have prompted a new petition...
Asymco analyst Horace Dediu published an interesting report this morning that attempts to figure out what Apple pays to manufacture each iPhone. Over the last 5 years, the handset has quickly become Apple's largest money-maker.
Dediu uses a number of resources, including manufacturing information that has recently come to light thanks to ABC's "A Trip to the iFactory" documentary, to determine what Apple spends building each iPhone, from parts to shipping...
I was lucky enough to grow up 15 minutes away from the Cavern Club in Liverpool. The club is best known as being the cradle of British pop music and is synonymous with the Beatles. Growing up in the area and having strong ties to Liverpool itself means I'm a big fan of the fab 4.
I was delighted when Apple added the full Beatles collection to the iTunes catalog back in November of 2010. Now, as per the 'New on iTunes' email I received in my inbox today, I'm delighted to say that Apple have added 27 ringtones from the hit compilation album '1'...
After facing criticism from both the media and human rights organizations, Apple has opened up the doors to its manufacturing plants for the world to see. This has allowed the Fair Labor Association in to do an inspection, and ABC to do a report.
If you haven't seen ABC's "A Trip to the iFactory" yet, you should really watch it. The documentary actually doesn't make Foxconn, Apple's largest manufacturing partner, look as bad as the media has made them out to be. But were they hiding anything?
Back in November, the Dev Team announced they had found a very promising iPhone 4S unlock, but there hasn't been any news on that front ever since. We've had an untethered jailbreak for A5 devices for a while, but the cherry on top would be to get a software unlock via UltraSn0w for the iPhone 4S.
While we're waiting for a software unlock, a few Chinese companies are working on a hardware unlock. We've recently heard about new comers who claimed having a SIM interposer unlock for the iPhone 4S – TPSIM and R-SIM – but we can't recommend those yet as we haven't been able to give them a try.
Today, Gevey, a familiar name to us, is releasing the Gevey Ultra S unlock for iPhone 4S...
