According to an anonymous report, Apple's board of directors might be unofficially planning on replacing Steve Jobs, who've been Apple's savior and CEO since 1997. This departure would follow Jobs' medical leave which has been in place for months, although Jobs has remained actively working for the company at a reduced capacity.
Apple confirmed today that it will begin selling OS X Lion, the company's next-generation operating system for traditional computers, tomorrow, July 20th. I hope you have your $29 ready, you'll want to get this upgrade.
Apple has been on a suing-spree recently. They filed an aggressive patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung in the recent past for blatantly copying the iPhone, iPad (both at software and hardware level) as well as HTC for infringing on software architecture and user-interface patents.
An interesting article posted in the Korea Times claims that Apple's next iPad device will feature a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, way more detailed than the 1920x1080 pixel milestone of what is considered to be full HD. Samsung and LG, the world leaders in the LCD display manufacturing fields, are said to be the two companies from which Apple is conducting quality testing.
As part of a publicity stunt, ex-binman Rob Shoesmith, dubbed 'Britain's Biggest Blagger', has managed to nab £40k's worth of goodies donated by companies. His plan? To camp outside the Apple Store for three weeks around the launch of the next iPhone and test all the products he manages to get.
It's been over a year since Apple released the iPhone 4, and despite the infamous death grip/Antennagate scandal which marred its initial release (added the fact that there weren't actually enough made to cope with the release), it has capitalized on the success of its predecessors to become one of the world's most popular smartphones. As the world eagerly waits for Jobs and Co. to "change everything, again", the rumor mill is in full spin with all sorts of names and designs in circulation. Now we have what appears to be a little substance - leaked images of what is claimed to be a test unit of the next iPhone installment.
China is infamous for exporting many a fake electronic product. As Apple's iDevices invariably generate the lion's share of the media's attention, so do the knock-offs which constantly spring up. You can generally find fake iPhones and iPods at a fraction of the price from the likes of eBay, most of which are poor replicas of the real deal. However every once in a while, a decent one pops up which raises a few eyebrows in the tech community.
If a new report is to be believed and a previous rumor which we covered, Apple is planning to shift production of the A6, which is believed to be the company's next-generation mobile processor, away from Samsung, in light of patent disputes between the two companies.
As we've speculated over the last few days, iOS 4.3.4 made its debut on iTunes. The new release, without clear release notes, addresses the PDF exploit in Mobile Safari used by JailbreakMe.
It's a story that we hear all too often, not just in the iOS gaming realm but also in the more publicised, and often more costly world of home console gaming, but game piracy is a very real problem.
