Oh iCloud, we seem to have known all about you for so long, yet we barely know you. Apple's MobileMe replacement, and all-round data syncing system is finally out of beta, and ready for primetime (well almost, anyway).
According to a report published today, Apple Inc. is denying its employees to take vacations during the second week of October.
Apple Seeds Near Final Build Of iOS 5 To Carriers, FaceTime Over 3G Currently Under Testing [REPORT]
After a near-record seven beta releases, Apple seems to have finally begun to get the wheels in motion towards an official release. Staff members from various carriers retailing iDevices have started training with the new and improved software in an identical sequence of events which led to the release of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 just last year.
If you're a regular reader of this site, you're likely aware that Apple is making the final arrangements to release OS X Lion 10.7.2 and iCloud. As they both gradually inch closer to its release, Apple is beginning to invite selected users to test them both first hand, even if they're not registered developers with Apple.
This week has been a crazy for Apple; with the resignation of Steve Jobs as CEO a couple of days ago, many have wondered whether Apple would continue to innovate. Fear not, according to a report, the Cupertino company is said to be working on a new way to deliver video to TV screens.
As iCloud, Apple's new online syncing service approaches its final release, registered Apple developers are getting their hands on three pieces of software designed to integrate with the new service: the OS X Lion 10.7.2 Build 11C40 update, Safari 5.1.1 and iCloud for OS X Lion Beta 8.
Apple today has seeded a new build of OS X Lion 10.7.2 to developers. The update brings an updated version of iCloud, Safari and a new build of Lion (11C35) which is required for the transition from MobileMe to iCloud.
As you may or may not be aware, Apple has released the iCloud web apps in beta to developers, but it's only available to a small number of users through its "iCloud Beta Developer Sign In". Thankfully, there's a ridiculously easy trick you can perform that will - sort of - let you use all the web apps even if you don't have access: in fact, even if you don't have an Apple ID.
Just minutes after the new version of the Apple TV 2G software, 4.3, was unexpectedly released to the public, many have begun digging into it to look for enhancements and new features. One of those that was found right off the bat was the ability to stream already purchased TV shows, but it now turns out that iTunes itself, along with the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone are getting the same feature as part of iCloud TV.
It is being reported that the next version of iTunes - the most popular media player on Windows and Mac - will come with a completely overhauled user-interface as well as deep iCloud integration.
