Comedian Bill Maher on Saturday night made a vey bold statement saying that Steve Jobs should run for the Oval Office as he would do a better job than the current Obama Administration. Maher was clearly disappointed by President’s recent remarks in which he stated that iPads, iPods, Xboxes and PlayStations were a source of distraction, rather than a tool of democracy for the United States.

After all those iPhone 4G leaks from Gizmodo, Vietnamese site Taoviet and the French site BeGeek. A new next-gen Apple iPhone prototype has surfaced again in Vietnam, which shows the phone running some sort of firmware diagnostics software called “Inferno”, similar to what was seen earlier running on iPod touch 3G prototypes.
The BTstack Mouse app for iPhone that we demonstrated on iPad last week has been updated to bring support for iPad. This new version brings stability, bug fixes and performance improvements for the new Apple device. The only disappointment about the update is that it still runs in the native iPhone resolution. You can run it in full iPad resolution by using this hack posted here.
I really don't know what is going on in Vietnam but after getting hold of the 4th-gen Apple iPhone, the guys from Tinhte have now got their hands on an upcoming refreshed version of MacBook, which was first released in October last year. This MacBook identifies itself as MacBook7,1 which indicates that it is running a faster 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from the 2.26Ghz seen in the current models, and NVDIA GeForce 320M with 256MB of DDR3. This graphics chip is an upgrade from the current GeForce 9400M found in MacBook6,1.
Installous 3.1.2 (not the discontinued install0us) has been released and is now available for download via Cydia for jailbroken iDevices. The new version 3.1.2 brings support for iPad, along with a brand new user interface and a download manager which supports multiple files download at once. You’ll need a jailbroken iPhone with firmware 3.x or over in order to install this app. Follow the step by step guide to jailbreak your iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod touch and iPad.
While this could be a Photoshop job, a new “dodgy” shot of the “lost” iPhone 4G in Vietnam has surfaced, which shows the handset running the upcoming iPhone OS 4. It is difficult to conclude on how these guys have tricked the phone into running the OS, considering the fact that Apple must have done a remote wipe following the leak yesterday.
Apple has posted a new iPad ad dubbed "What is iPad" which explains and introduces this new form factor device to the world. This is the second iPad ad posted by Apple. The first one made a surprised appearance back at the 2010 Oscars.
The most powerful Android handset to date has finally got a release date, and price. HTC EVO 4G will be available on Sprint’s 4G network starting 4th of June, for $199 (after all the discounts) on a new contract. To enjoy WiMAX on this device, you will be paying $10 extra a month for the “Premium Data add-on” on top your chosen plan. Moreover, the 8-device hotspot feature will cost $29.99 extra every month. Since the device has a front cam for video conferencing, you’ll be able to do video chats over both 3G and 4G speeds using Qik app.
Following the recently leaked Build 7601.16537 and Build 7601.16543 of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, a new build has now leaked to the wild. The leaked build is 7601.16556.100421-1510 Service Pack 1, v.172 and was compiled on 21st April 2010. Source of this leak is WZOR, who has managed to slip this one through Microsoft’s fortress yet again.
A Vietnamese site named Taoviet has got hold of what looks like another “lost” next-gen iPhone prototype model from Apple. This model looks almost exactly like the one which Gizmodo got hold of earlier last month, except for the screws at the bottom which seems to have been removed. Both iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS had similar screws with the speaker at the bottom. Also, this model has 16GB written on the backside compared to the one which Gizmodo got which had XXGB written on the back. Are we looking at the very final pre-production model of the new iPhone? probably yes!
