Best Buy's relationship with Apple is getting even closer now that they are joining AT&T as third party distributors of refurbished iPhones. These phones will be returns less than 30 days old and sold at prices that are $US50... Read More »
On some level, I know that these minimalistic wireless speakers by Phillipe Starck are classy works of art. But when I look at them, all I can think about is Nuni and Nooni Schoener.
Technologizer has meticulously reconstructed Apple's history in the form of sweet, formerly tantalising patent filings.
Inconsistent rumours that Walmart would soon start selling the iPhone soon have been pinging around for a few days now, but Bloomberg has finally come up with a solid answer: It's happening, and probably by Christmas.
Today we give thanks together--thanks for our family, our friends, the delicious high-calorie spread before us, and the ability to slap your friend's face on a cartoon turkey and email it to their mum. Behold, it's the finest eating day of the year, and the App Store is here to help with some new holiday cheer and a few classics suited to the occasion.
It's just a demo right now, but Ryo Shimizu's ZeptoPad 2.0 whiteboard app looks pretty promising. We already love collaborative drawing apps like Netsketch, but Ryo's whiteboard adds a couple of interesting tweaks--the ability to watch the whiteboard live via a web interface or on what looks like a local client, and then save everything to PDF when you're finished. If collaborators are not limited to being on the same wi-fi network, which is how these apps often work, sign us up. Barring any Apple hold-ups (that's never happened, right?), ZeptoPad should hit the store next weekend. [Thanks, Ryo!]
New Yorker Avi Koschitzki has tossed his own lawsuit in with the rising pile, accusing Apple and AT&T of the usual crimes (lousy 3G reception and speed, lackluster software updates) as well as a newbie: hairline cracks in the iPhone 3G's casing. We've reported on it before, but this is the first time it's showing up in a suit.
Mark Papermaster, a former IBM executive who's replacing retiring iPod chief Tony Fadell, came to Apple with some heavy baggage—namely a one-year no-compete clause that IBM said he was violating by working at Apple. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karashas sided with IBM for the time being in their lawsuit, ordering Papermaster to "immediately cease his employment with Apple Inc. until further order of this court."
If you, like me, do unnatural things with your iPhone, go pick up a 10-pack of Wireless Wipes. Why? Because touchscreens are apparently hotbeds of scum and villainy. And germs, which is what a British study discovered when it found they carry "tens of thousands of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus." Another study, conducted in Arizona, randomly tested 25 mobiles and found staph on nearly half of them. Staph, in case you didn't know, causes everything from pimples and boils, to pneumonia and meningitis, which explains the chronic headache and hallucinations I've had for the better part of the past week. Wireless Wipes cost $US2 for 10, are fast drying, non-streaking and—most importantly—non corrosive. [ChipChick]
AT&T apparently realised it was elitist to only let the iPhone get free Wi-Fi at its hotspots, so they're opening it up to BlackBerry handsets too. The Bold is getting it first, though all of their other Wi-Fi-havin' BlackBerrys will pick it up later this year. So, um, what about Windows Mobile guys? Smells like elitism to me.
