Rumors have been bouncing around for years regarding Apple and its secret TV project. No, I'm not talking about the $99 media box. I'm talking about a full-blown television set with the words "Made in Cupertino" printed on the back.
Thanks to a quote from Steve Jobs in his recently-released biography, the speculation has regained some traction over the last couple of weeks. Pundits are now reporting that we could see an Apple-branded TV set as early as next year...
We've back after a hiatus with our app picks of the week!
This week, we’ve got an awesome iOS game, unique Twitter app, and innovative podcast app that works with iCloud. We hope you enjoy this week’s picks!
The death of Steve Jobs has been affecting me much more than I anticipated. Just like everyone else, I knew Steve's days were numbered, yet, I didn't really prepare myself.
Instead, I did what I sometimes do to unconsciously protect myself. I put my feelings aside and kept ignoring emotions as though they didn't exist.
When the news broke, I was terribly shocked, but not surprised. At the time, I was very sad, but I think I didn't process the information right away. Again, I think my brain blocked my feelings to protect me.
As I watched Apple's celebration of Steve Jobs in Cupertino yesterday, I couldn't help but feel immensely sad, my eyes filling with tears. A few of them eventually fell on my face.
How did I get there? How can I be so affected by the death of a man whom I had never met? A man that, mind you, I had very much disliked for many years.
Yes, for the longest time, I wasn't a big fan of Steve Jobs. While I respected the work he had been doing, I really disliked the man as a human being. Steve Jobs was a real asshole. A dictator. A selfish and egocentric man with little regard for the feelings of others.
I remember reading about Steve Jobs' return to Apple several years ago. The article told the story of how cutting the company's philanthropic program was one of the first thing he did upon his return in 1997. As an avid Windows user at the time, and someone with great respect for Bill Gates' charity involvement, I thought Steve Jobs was just what I always had assumed: a big asshole...
The Cupertino company has had a rough time sorting out its Apple TV updates over the past few weeks. It seems that all the trouble started when Scott Forstall's team released iOS 5 to the public earlier this month.
Last week Apple released a software update for its media hub (4.4.1), but it was immediately pulled due to customer complaints. Apparently re-releasing it still didn't do the trick, because tonight Apple seeded 4.4.2 to Apple TV owners...
The new 8MP camera in the iPhone 4S is one of the handset's standout features. Other than Siri, the improved camera is likely the biggest motivator for folks to upgrade to Apple's latest smartphone.
But iPhones haven't always sported class-leading camera hardware — it's come a long way in 4 years. Gizmodo demonstrates this with a side-by-side comparison of photos taken with each of the 5 iPhone models...
Notification Center is far and away one of the top features of the new iOS 5, but it's not without its opportunities for improvement.
Case in point, you can only see four lines of text maximum on any of the messages that are queued up in Notification Center. There's no way to customize the length of the messages that are displayed.
There's also the annoying matter of having to tap twice to clear out any messages. NotificationCenter Enhancer seeks to address these issues...
After nearly two weeks on the market, people are still finding new stuff in iOS 5. Apple's latest software update to its mobile operating system is loaded with new features — over 200 according to Scott Forstall and company.
The update also includes new capibilities for iOS users. You can activate your device's camera from your lock screen and you can view notifications by swiping down on your status bar. You can also save videos to your camera roll...
Despite the fact that China Mobile doesn't have an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone, its network counts 10 million iPhones users, as the company reported this morning via Reuters.
With 630 million customers, those 10 million iPhone users are just a drop in the bucket. But they do tell a lot about how much China wants the iPhone...

The built in dictionary is probably one of my favorite new features in iOS 5. It's so incredibly handy, and it can be used across any app at any time.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could search Google in the same way? Well now you can, thanks to DictGoogle — a new tweak that integrates seamlessly with iOS 5's built in dictionary...
