Apple has been taking a lot of heat lately for failing to effectively pursue safer working conditions in its overseas manufacturing plants, but also for outsourcing its product assembly to China – because you know, they're the only company outsourcing to China...
If there is one thing the company is doing well these days, it's their charity donation program, which was initiated by Tim Cook as he became CEO of Apple last year.

It's a pretty slow day in the iOS world, so instead of making up rumors about the iPhone 9, we thought it'd be more entertaining to show you this video of a fake Scottish Siri commercial.
A quick note to let you know that the Absinthe jailbreak for A5 devices has been updated to version 0.4 to bring some minor new features.
This is what's new in Absinthe 0.4:
Mac: added support for OSX 10.5, PPC and Intel CPU Added consistency check on startup to make sure required files are in place Windows: fixed bug in payload generator that might cause a crashIf you've already used Absinthe to jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, then there is no need to run the jailbreak again. If you haven't used Absinthe yet and want to jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, make sure to refer to our tutorials:

You might have heard Samsung is spending big bucks to have a TV commercial air during the next Super Bowl. They're so excited that they can't help bragging about it all over the web, just like a high school girl who just scored a prom date with the star quarterback.
Trying to generate buzz prior to the big day, Samsung released a teaser that, as usual, makes fun of Apple fanboys for standing in line to get the new iPhone. Of course, Samsung wouldn't have such a problem since no one actually ever had to get in line to buy a Samsung phone. That's how popular they are...
With presumably a couple months or so until the iPad 3 hits the shelves, I think we are way overdue for some good old rumors about Apple's upcoming tablet.
Today's rumor is brought to you courtesy of BGR, who apparently got their hands on some images from a source claiming to be in possession of an iPad 3. If I haven't lost you yet, then keep on reading because there seems to be some good sense to all this...
It's a big day for Corona. After being updated this morning to fix the DRM issues in iBooks, Saurik just tweeted that the untether has been updated yet again, this time to resolve problems with the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.
Corona 1.0-8: @sbingner noticed that 1.0-6/7 failed on iPhone 4S 5.0 (the only supported 5.0 build; absinthe's Corona had worked): fixed. :(

If you're having problems with iBooks on your jailbroken device, you can install Corona directly from Cydia. If you've already installed Corona, you can simply update it via Cydia and you should be good to go.
You might remember a few weeks ago when we told you about Tribute Calendar, an application that paid tribute to Steve Jobs in the form of a calendar application that had been rejected by Apple.
The developers of the app didn't want to take "no" for an answer and did exactly what more developers should do: they turned to Cydia to release their app without the need of Apple's benediction...
A couple days ago, RedSn0w was updated to fix the iBooks DRM issue where some images wouldn't display properly, or wouldn't even display at all. At the time, we noted that a Corona update shouldn't be too far out.
Saurik just announced on Twitter that Corona has been updated to version 1.0-7 to fix those issues mentioned above...
Speaking about China, analyst Katy Huberty belives Apple is on track to sell 40 million iPhones in China this year:
Investment bank Morgan Stanley believes Apple will partner up with both China Telecom and China Mobile "over the next year" to make its iPhone available on all three Chinese carriers, a move that could bring incremental sales of as many as 40 million units next calendar year.
I believe these numbers to be very conservative, especially if Apple signs a deal with China Telecom.
Ever since I jailbroke my iPhone 4S using Absinthe, it has been behaving a little weird, sometimes displaying white icons or even transparent icons for certain applications. It seems that this issue only affects Apple's stock applications such as the Phone app, Calendar, etc.
I can't really pinpoint the issue. Is it because of Absinthe? Or is it because of a package I have installed from Cydia? While I'm not really sure what causes this problem, I have found a simple trick to fix the blank or missing icon dilemma...
This is not the first time a tethering app passes Apple approval process to make its way to the App Store.
A couple months ago we told you about iTether, an app that brought tethering to the iPhone without even bothering hiding its true feature. At the time, iTether was so obvious that we really wondered how this app had made it through the app approval process. It got pulled shortly after, but a few early buyers were able to get their hands on the app and tether their iPhones for free.
Today, a new app managed to fool Apple's team of app reviewers by camouflaging the tethering feature under an app that looks completely legit...
