You Will Never See Apps' Ads With White iPhone?

Summary : It would not be a total surprise that Apple is asking developers to stop use white iPhone mockup to promote third-party apps on the web. Yet, we know Apple has always been a company that stresses the details. Everything down to the tiniest pixel is highly scrutinized to perfection.

It would not be a total surprise that Apple is asking developers to stop use white iPhone mockup to promote third-party apps on the web. Yet, we know Apple has always been a company that stresses the details. Everything down to the tiniest pixel is highly scrutinized to perfection.
Cupertino doesn’t like the idea of developers using white iPhones to show off their work in marketing materials. It’s a black iPhone or the highway.
TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington reports for Pando Daily:

The private written communications I’ve seen from Apple, though, are quite clear on the restriction. In verbal communications they’ve said that they’re reserving use of the white iPhone for their own marketing materials.

Apple clearly outlines the type of iOS promotional materials third-party developers can use, and the mockup examples show black iPhones only. Does that mean white iPhones are off limits?

Apple CEO Tim Cook donates $100 million to charitySummary : Apple CEO Tim Cook might just be taking some tips from Bill Gates--last week he announced he donated $100 million to charity, according to The Verge. Apple CEO Tim Cook might just be taking some tips from Bill Gates--last week he announced he donated $100 million to charity, according to The Verge. Cook made his announcement during an internal town hall meeting celebrating Apple's successful fourth quarter. According to The Verge, Cook said $50 million had been donated to Stanford's hospitals, with $25 million for a new main building and $25 million for a new children's hospital. Another $50 million has been donated to Product RED, which is a charity that combats diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Since becoming Apple CEO, Cook has differed from his predecessor Steve Jobs on a few issues, including charitable giving. Jobs was not known for philanthropy and had even said he opposed giving away money. Cook, on the other hand, has started giving his employees big discounts on Apple products and has also instituted a company-wide charitable program that matches donations made by employees up to $10,000 a year. This comes days after fallout from an investigative article in The New York Times about hazardous working conditions in a Chinese factory that manufactures Apple iPads. Cook responded to the article saying, "We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern. Any suggestion that we don't care is patently false and offensive to us."

T-Mobile to Offer Additional Support to Unlocked iPhone Users

Summary : TMO News reports that T-Mobile USA will start offering its users who are using unlocked iPhones on their network additional support.

TMO News reports that T-Mobile USA will start offering its users who are using unlocked iPhones on their network additional support.

Though T-Mobile USA is the only US Carrier among the top 4 carrier not to offer Apple's iPhone, it had revealed last year that more than a million unlocked iPhones are used on their network.
Back in July 2011, T-Mobile USA started offering micro-SIM cards, which is required for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
T-Mobile will begin offering the additional support from tomorrow, January 30th. According to the leaked document, the support will include common procedures, information about features and specifications, and other basic device questions.

The leaked document also lists down the following benefits for its 1 million plus users with unlocked iPhones:
*The customer benefits by making only one call.
*The employee benefits by having access to information needed to resolve these calls.
*The business benefits by lower call times and improved resolution.
Though 3G works for few lucky iPhone users on T-Mobile's network, earlier this month, T-Mobile USA's CEO Philipp Humm revealed that it had not managed to get iPhone due to its unique band technology. While most GSM operators use the 850, 900, 1900 or 2100 MHz frequencies, T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band for its 3G. Unfortunately that means that mobile phone manufacturers need to use a chipset that works with the AWS band.
T-Mobile Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray has revealed that Apple's next generation iPhone will support the AWS bands. It remains to be seen if Apple will finally offer the iPhone on T-Mobile USA's network this year.
But by offering additional support, T-Mobile seems to be at least gearing up for it

Burn Wood And Charge Your iPhone

They say you can’t teach old dogs new tricks — but the same axiom apparently isn’t true for the wood burning camp stove — the oldest camping gear dog of all. Like any other timber burnin’ stove, the BioLite CampStove is great for cooking, since there’s no risk of fire-starting chemicals flavoring your grub.

Lugging fuel isn’t an issue either, as long as pellets, sticks, pine cones, or other random flammable biomass are lying about. Unlike every other stove out there, however, the Biolite can convert heat energy from the fire into electric power for charging gadgets via USB.
How much power is generated isn’t directly shared, but BioLite says charge rates are similar to a laptop USB port. The complete kit also weighs a feathery 2 lbs and can pack down to 8.25 x 5″ (which is roughly the size of a Nalgene), making it suitable even for ultralight backpacking.

Apple: There is No iMessage Bug

Summary : A major bug was found in the new iMessage on iOS 5 that several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices. Apple finally gave a a statement to the public: there is no iMessage bugk, only about your setting.

A major bug was found in the new iMessage on iOS 5 that several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices. Apple finally gave a a statement to the public: there is no iMessage bug.
Gizmodo added fuel to the fire yesterday when it published several images of strange iMessage conversations it was receiving on an iPhone after visiting an Apple Store for tech support. Apparently, when a Genius inserted his personal SIM card into the phone to test the device, the handset locked on to his iMessage account…
After months of silence regarding the so-called iMessage bug, Apple gave a statement to The Loop this morning claiming that what happened with Gizmodo’s iPhone isn’t the result of a bug. It was simply an employee error.
    “This was an extremely rare situation that occurred when a retail employee did not follow the correct service procedure and used their personal SIM to help a customer who did not have a working SIM,” Apple representative Natalie Harrison told The Loop. “This resulted in a temporary situation that has since been resolved by the employee.”

So how do you keep this from happening to you? Well for starters, you might think twice before dropping your SIM card into another device. But if you must do it, make sure you toggle the device’s iMessage switch off and then on again once the original SIM card is re-inserted. The Loop says that doing this will unregister your iMessage account with the device.
You can find the switch by going into your device’s Settings app, and tapping on the Messages tab. Since Apple doesn’t see this as an actual “bug,” we may never see an official fix for this. So it might be a good idea to remember this tip.
Have you noticed your iMessage account staying active after wiping your device?

The Japanese-based web Macotakara, which is recently keen on reporting the rumors about Apples' next generation iPad, reveals Apple will hold an 'unusual' event in February and a special event in March to unveil the iPad 3 along with the iOS 5.1.
Today, speculation about a February Apple event cooled some when the Loop's Jim Dalrymple reported that his credible sources indicate that no formal announcement or corresponding media event will take place this month. Dalrymple's report is gaining no shortage of attention in light of the fact that he is a highly respected source for Apple news and information.
"This is not going to happen, according to my sources," Dalrymple said today, in a blunt and unequivocal fashion. "Apple will not hold an event in February, unusual or otherwise. That’s it."
Dalrymple's reference to an "unusual" event comes in response to earlier and unsubstantiated reports this week out of Japan suggesting that Apple would hold an 'unusual' event in February to herald the arrival of the iPad 3. Although Dalrymple didn't rule out the still-looming possibility of a March iPad 3 release, he said nothing of the prospect today.
Basic on all the rumors, the next iPad will get better resolution, LTE support and quad-core A6 Processor, and the iOS 5.1 is in the beta still. We will keep you updated.

I just found a nice looked 3D action game. In the game, you have to hold your girl all they way, run, shoot all the monsters and always keep on the roofs.
According to the developer, almost everything except the music is all created by one man. That is a amazing!
"As always, I've been creating nearly everything on my own (Graphics & Design, Digital Painting, Modelling, Animation, Sound Effects and Programming).
The game features full scene realtime bumped specular reflections (even Infinity Blade doesn't have that, the background there is always static baked lightmap stuff) - and running with 30 fps even on iPad 1.
Gameplay will be an intuitive 3D runner experience with tilt controls for left/right, left tap for jump, right tap for shooting. Or vice versa, if you change the setting
It will come for iPhone 3GS, iPad1 and of course all newer devices."
Now take a look at the tailer, seems to be a nice game to be expected.

BLOOD ROOFS will be available on March, we will keep you updated.

You never can underestimate iPad's ability, and with Fleshlight case, there could be another good reason for single geek to buy it, and let’s be honest, in some ways, it could change the way that people interact with porn.

What I’m talking about it a concept design that takes forever alone to a whole new level. Meet the FLESHLiPad Holder.
What you’re seeing is a Fleshlight device attached to the bottom of an iPad. For those of you unfamiliar with Fleshlights, you can check out the site (a tad NSFW). As you can see, it’s basically a male sex toy that simulates a vagina. It’s actually a pretty huge industry, as prospective users can build their own or purchase toys modeled after famous pornstars – and yes, they are anatomically accurate.
It doesn’t take a genius to see why a person would want to have one of these devices attached to an iPad – and the mockup makes it pretty clear as well. I must reiterate, this is simply a concept design, but do you really think that this idea will sit around untapped for very long? I don’t think so.

Neil Young Talk about Steve Jobs's high-def music efforts

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. — “Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl.”
This is not popular mythology. This is not rumor. This is legendary recording artist Neil Young, sharing his thoughts on the state of digital music at the D: Dive Into Media conference on Tuesday, fiercely arguing his point: Quality needs to return to the music industry.

Young and others had been in discussions with Apple about improved digital music file formats, ways to download the much larger files that would result, and creating devices that would play the high-def files. Digital music is currently "packaged" in either AAC or MP3 formats, which create small, easy distributed files, but also lose a lot of the nuances that are found in masters or live performances. High-def music files would be much larger than those currently in distribution, so downloading and storage would require more resources.
Jobs was a rabid music fan his entire life and arguably had more impact on the digital music industry than any other executive. According to Young, however, "When he (Jobs) went home, he listened to vinyl." Young believes that without Steve's passion for music, Apple as a company has lost any ambition it may have had to rally behind high-def music.
Musicians and recording industry execs might both get behind high-def music, since it would allow the industry to sell a higher-quality product at a premium price. Whether or not Apple will be at the forefront of the move to high-def music is up to the current executive team.

Samsung’s Latest Ad Mock Apple Fans. Again!

Summary : Samsung just can't STOP, over and over again. In the latest, Samsung has a pop at the many thousands of customers whom queue during the aforementioned iPhone Fever seasons via its Galaxy Note Super Bowl ad, and no matter which side of the fence you stand, the video is rather entertaining.

It ends, rather humorously, with the words "The next big thing is already here.. Again!" a play on Apple’s overused punch line and a constant feature of the Steve Jobs keynote era.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is certainly a big thing, at least in terms of size, but we can’t help but think there’s an element of the Green-Eyed Monster here. After all, there aren’t many companies enticing the sort of congregations seen outside the Apple Stores on release day.

Few hours later after the report surfaced, China-based M.I.C. Gadget verified the prototype with its Chinese factory source, however, there are problems with its camera.
M.I.C. Gadget:
According to our factory sources, Apple have problems with the lens aperture for the next-gen iPod nano, the iris is not functioning correctly to allow the advantages of the low aperture to be utilized. Every shot was overexposed. Apple intends to correct its mistake, but the problem still exists in this prototype that is manufactured two months ago. What's more, a 2-megapixel camera was tested, but it was unsatisfactory - the photos look washed-out and flat. The good news is… this 2-month-old prototype is close to final product, the UI is done.
Its thought that the new iPod Nano will be released with camera in the first or second quarter of 2012.
Take a look at the images below, what do you think about the design?

The photos below show data from a development and debug tool called iBoot.
"For starters, the model numbers are J1 and J2 (iPad3,1 and iPad3,2), and while DigiTimes reported this a few weeks ago, these two models are not different devices, just a single iPad available in two versions - one with Wi-Fi only and one with Wi-Fi and embedded GSM/CDMA/LTE for all carriers. Also included in the photos is, for the first time, confirmation of which processor Apple will be using in the iPad 3: an A6 processor with model number S5L8945X. For reference, the Apple A4 model was S5L8930X and the A5 is S5L8940X. The new processor will also apparently be a quad-core model, making the upcoming iPad 3 the fastest iOS device ever, we have been told."

BlackBerry is loing his kingdom position in US, BlackBerry is not easy to let it go, and here is a proof for that: new images have leaked showing what may be code-name London, or the first of the next-generation BlackBerry 10 superphones expected to ship from RIM at the end of 2012 and… they look like Android phones that look like iPhones. Kevin Michaluk from CrackBerry.com pitches them a phone-sized PlayBooks but after being teased with the far more original looking, Porsche Design-style concepts we saw a few weeks back, I can’t help but be a little disappointed.
Sure, Apple didn’t invent the black slab form factor, but in an era that was then dominated by front-facing QWERTY devices, including the Treo, Windows Mobile Standard, Nokia communicators, and, yes, BlackBerrys, Apple inarguably popularized them. They popularized them to such an extent that Google smartly, swiftly switched gears from making Android BlackBerry-like to iPhone-inspired. RIM dabbled in that form factor as well, with the near disastrous Storm line, and now the expanded Torch line.
But to lead with it into the new generation of BlackBerrys, and now, some 5 years later? (And yes, once again, I informed you thusly.)
A big part of me hopes not. I’m tired of iPhone clones. Sure, Samsung has proven that the closer you are to copying Apple without being Apple, the more money you make in the not-Apple market (just look at Motorola and HTC profits by way of comparison), but Apple didn’t get to where they are — sitting on one of the largest bankrolls in history — by copying the BlackBerry or Treo back in 2007.
They looked at the market. They saw a problem with existing offerings. They tried to solve it with something new. RIM has had 5 years since then — 5 years to study Apple, look for the iPhone’s weaknesses, and figure out how to take then next great leap forward. To figure out how to do to Apple what Apple did to Palm and RIM.
They wasted a lot of that on the Storm and Torch and PlayBook. Hopefully they’re not wasting one precious moment of it now.
I want BlackBerry back. I want them putting pressure on Google and Apple. I want more great phones to choose from. I don’t want Jonathan Ive to be the lead designer-by-proxy of yet another me-too phone line.
Delight me RIM. Surprise me. You’ve got a new CEO. He has great contacts. I’m holding out hope for you.

Students in Madison, Wisconsin will soon get access to iPads to use in classrooms, thanks to money that the school district received from a state-negotiated settlement with Microsoft.
Microsoft was forced to pay the state nearly 80 million dollars in order to settle claims that the software giant had cheated consumers into overpaying for software purchases. Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft has issued vouchers to state schools, with $3.4 million being earmarked for Madison.


The school district will use the money to purchase 600 iPads for $479 each, for use in schools this spring. There are plans to purchase another 800 iPads on top of that for use in classrooms by next fall, which will be a great learning tool for students.
With the classroom iPads, students will be able to wirelessly share classroom work with one another, and replace workbooks and textbooks with apps from the Apple App Store.  Madison will not be the only county implementing the iPads, and other counties in the state have begun to experiment with the tablets too.
“This is the most significant transition point for having digital learning at the optimal level,” said Bill Smojver, the district’s director of technical services. iPads are cheaper and more portable than traditional desktop computers, and according to a recent demonstration in Chicago Public Schools, students are more engaged in classrooms using tablets.
While the district is considering replacing traditional textbooks with iPad versions following Apple’s recent iBooks 2 announcement, it will produced cautiously with the decision. iPads will be used in a variety of ways. One school, receiving 105 iPads will give each student in four classrooms access to a tablet, while another school will be using them for teacher planning and record keeping.
Pending school board approval, the iPads will debut in 20 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and three high schools by mid-March of 2012.
