According to a new report by InsideFacebook, Facebook has recently hired Apple's former Product Design Manager Chris Weeldreyer, as indicated by his Facebook profile. Weeldreyer, who has 8+ year experience as user interface design manager, started his new role at Facebook on June 18, 2012.
This gig is another indication that the social networking giant could in fact be developing a phone of its own (here are the mockups)...
Notebook vendors are clinging their hope to a fall launch of Windows 8 and Intel's Ivy Bridge chips, thinking it'll help reinvigorate interest in notebooks. Now, notebooks and portables in general have seen modest, single-digit growth in the past two years because a portion of the consumers' budget has been absorbed due to iPad demand. So, what gives?
Industry sources asserted that Microsoft's Surface tablet will initially be offered only in WiFi version, even though analysts opine that its lack of cellular connectivity won't be seen as a major limitation.
What could, however, likely be perceived as problematic is the Surface's asking prices, allegedly set at $599. This would put the WiFi-only Surface just thirty bucks shy of Apple's 16GB 4G iPad 3...

During the WWDC keynote last week, Tim Cook announced that Apple was planning to open up the App Store to 32 new countries sometime this month.
Yesterday, the company made good on that promise. Apple sent out an email to developers last night announcing the following new App Store markets...
The "Dream Team," as most of you know, is made up of p0sixninja, Pod2g, MuscleNerd, and a handful of other hackers. The group is responsible for the last 2 major jailbreak releases.
The Team was on hand to talk about those jailbreaks, at this year's Hack In The Box Conference in Amsterdam. They discussed a wide range of topics, including Absinthe and Corona...
Last year, LunaTik raised a million dollars for its iPod Nano watchband project. Made with high-quality materials and attention to detail, the bands were a hit.
Today, the company is hoping it can get lightning to strike a second time around, with its latest creation: the TAKTIK, a premium case for your iPhone 4 or 4S...
I know this is an iOS blog, but today Samsung launched its Galaxy S III in the United States with much fanfare and we thought you'd be interested in some of the television commercials they're running now. They're shiny, 100 percent devoid of Apple bashing and way cooler than Samsung's first promo video for the S III.
You can also bet on Samsung bombarding us with more commercials for the S III in the coming weeks. If these two adverts are an indication ("the next big thing is already here"), I'm expecting some fast jabs at the iPhone (though Terry Gou would disagree).
The question is, will Samsung's latest baby become the first smartphone to outsell the iPhone?
One of the biggest new features of iOS 6 is the new reinvigorated Maps app, which no longer relies on data from Google. The new Maps app also features turn-by-turn directions, and 3D capabilities.
Sadly, for owners of older devices like the iPhone 4 or the iPhone 3GS, you'll get the new Maps app sans 3D capabilities or turn-by-turn directions. As usual, the jailbreak community has come through with a solution to at least one of the omissions — 3D maps.
Check inside as we walk you through adding 3D maps to your officially unsupported older device...
Launch Center Pro hit the App Store with a splash today, receiving rave reviews from several outlets. The app is the encore to App Cubby's Launch Center, which debuted back in 2011.
Though it's received a significant makeover, the app itself has maintained its premise. Which is to give power users a more efficient way to launch apps and perform actions in iOS...
Being overly paranoid about my passwords, I've traditionally resorted to using a bunch of tools to keep my login credentials safe, ranging from brute force solutions that involve keeping passwords in an encrypted text file up in the cloud to pricey utilities such as 1Password.
The problem is, these time-sucking tools involve daily management and require that I adapt my workflow. Wouldn't it be nice if my Mac could automagically recognize me by way of my iPhone? Enter KeyFree Login, an iPhone app from car maker Ford that puts all password managers to shame with its ubiquity and simplicity. It's magic, really.
By enabling Bluetooth on both your Mac and iOS device, you'll be automatically authenticated to Facebook, Twitter and whatever websites you use, each time the two devices are in range, no setup required whatsoever, just by standing next to your computer...
