With Apple's attention very much turned to OS X 10.7 Lion, they could be forgiven for giving Snow Leopard (10.6) the cold shoulder. The latest release of Snow Leopard, which brought the version number up to Mac OS X 10.6.8, has been out for a few weeks now and those not upgraded to Lion have been using it with relatively little issues.
Those who own an iPhone 4 are probably aware of its extremely high resolution display that makes text and images appear crisper than ever. This feature, known as Retina Display, has been rumored to be coming to the next-generation iPad and has now been spotted in the final version of OS X Lion.
While primary attention is still being given to desktop apps, we are slowly and steadily seeing focus shift to powerful web apps thanks to the advancement of web browsers and technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. This is evidenced by OS-level projects like Chrome OS and Joli OS as well as products like Mozilla Prism or the built-in feature on Internet Explorer 9 & Google Chrome which allows users to integrate web applications with the desktop.
Untethered 4.3.5 jailbreak: A few hours ago, iOS 4.3.5 was released publicly, to the surprise of many. The new update, the second of its kind in one month, is not expected to receive an untethered jailbreak anytime soon, therefore users should refrain from updating at this point in time.
Earlier today, Apple released the new iOS 4.3.5 firmware to patch a critical security issue with certificate verification in iOS. It is important to note that there is currently no untethered jailbreak solution available for both iOS 4.3.4 (which was released on 15th July) and the just released iOS 4.3.5. Do NOT update to 4.3.5 or 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak.
It's been little over a week since Apple scrambled to release iOS 4.3.4 to plug the easily jailbreakable 4.3.3, and already another update has surfaced which addresses "certificate validation" vulnerabilities, and unfortunately, just like iOS 4.3.4, those of you that own an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 can no longer jailbreak, not even tethered like other devices.
Jailbreak 4.3.5 with Redsn0w: Apple has unexpectedly pushed out an incremental update for iOS 4.3.x, and it is dubbed as iOS 4.3.5. This minor release is no more than a security update, aiming to patch issues with certificate verification. The good news is that we have tested it and can confirm that the current version of Redsn0w can jailbreak the just released iOS 4.3.5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G.
Just months before iOS 5 is released and ten days after iOS 4.3.4 came out, one wouldn't expect to ever hear about iOS 4.3.5. It now turns out that yet another update for iOS 4.3 has been uploaded to Apple's servers, allegedly fixing a critical security issue.
It’s all pointing towards a September launch date now! A “proven source” from inside AT&T has stated that the wireless carrier is making full-blown preparations for the launch of the hotly anticipated next-generation iPhone.
