It looks like Motorola has won another major victory in Germany against Apple today, as reports are coming in that the Cupertino company has been forced to suspend its iCloud push services due to a court injunction.
The two handset-makers have been involved in an ongoing patent war in the country over the last few months, and so far, Motorola has clearly had the upper hand..
In December, we heard Apple was looking to buy 160-acres of land in Prineville, Oregon. The new mass of land was reportedly for hosting servers to power Apple's iCloud, much like the $1 billion data center Apple owns in North Carolina.
Tonight, MacRumors points us to a KTVZ article confirming Apple has purchased the land in order to open up a large new data center...
It's been more than a month since Apple's last iTunes Match roll out, but it looks like the company is getting ready to launch the popular music-mirroring service in Japan.
Macotakara is reporting that Apple has flipped the switch on its 'iTunes in the Cloud' component for Japanese users, allowing them to view and re-download previously purchased music...
Today Apple took the wraps off of OS X Mountain Lion (I know, we should have saw that one coming) and continuing with the movement started with its predecessor, OS X Lion, it borrows heavily from iOS.
In fact, you could say that OS X Lion's iOS implants were rather mild compared to what Mountain Lion plans to offer. Apple is obviously serious about completely combining the best elements of iOS directly into its desktop operating system, and no where is this more evident than with Mountain Lion.
Like times past, Apple has released a video teaser outlining various components of their upcoming OS X update. You're already aware of one of them — iMessage — but what are the others?
One of my favorite components of iCloud is Photo Stream. I love having instant access to all of my photos on both my iPhone and iPad. Having instant access to my photos on my laptop is awesome too, but there is one major caveat.
You see, to access your Photo Stream photos on your Mac computer, you have to go through iPhoto — which I hate. It takes forever to load and the UI is terrible. Luckily, I've just come across a software-free way to access my Photo Stream photos on my computer...
With any new product launch, Apple is known for their creative television advertising for almost every one of their products. Apple has already released a slew of advertisements for the iPhone 4S and Siri, showing how handy the personal assistant really is.
Tonight, 9to5mac points us to two new TV ads being aired by Apple. The thirty second advertisements show off Siri, and are titled "Road Trip" and "Rock God"...
Reports are coming in that Motorola Mobility has just filed a significant lawsuit against Apple in the US over the illegal use of its intellectual property. Motorola believes that Apple is using its patents in both its iPhone 4S and iCloud products.
MM recently won an injunction against Apple late last year in a German court. And although the decision has yet to make an impact on Apple's sales in the country, it could certainly play a major part in Motorola's new lawsuit here in the States...
Apple's quarterly earnings call has certainly raised a few eyebrows this time around, with the company reporting huge sales, huge profits and just all around awesomeness. If you're an Apple shareholder, then you're probably very happy right about now.
Many interesting tidbits came out of the earnings call, but one that may not be getting that much attention is the news that there are now 85 million iCloud users, making it clear just why Apple needed that fancy new data center after all.
We suspect Apple wishes it was charging them all the same $99 it charged for MobileMe...
Lots of happy people have successfully jailbroken their iPhone 4S and iPad 2 over the last 24 hours or so, but some are still having problems pulling off a successful jailbreak on both Mac and Windows.
We understand the frustration that some of you have been experiencing, and we really want to help you. True, the Windows Command Line Utility isn't exactly the easiest tool to jailbreak with, but it can be done, and has been done successfully by many of our viewers and readers.
That being said, there are still quite a few that seem to be having issues, so if that describes you, step inside, and let's discuss some things that might help...
This is kind of interesting. After all of the attempts we've seen by developers to try and port Siri to non-Apple-supported devices, it appears this guy did it by simply restoring his iPod touch from an iPhone 4S profile.
How'd it happen? Well as Gordon tells it, he recently purchased a late-model white iPod touch. And instead of setting it up as a new device, he decided to restore it from an iCloud backup made from his iPhone 4S...
Fortune Editor Adam Lashinsky is releasing a book next week entitled Inside Apple. The book is expected to contain several secrets regarding the Mac-making company that aren't currently considered public knowledge.
Excerpts from the title have been spilling out onto the web over the last few days. Yesterday, we told you that the book taps iOS executive Scott Forstall as Apple's next CEO. And today, a story has surfaced regarding Eddy Cue...
