			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/elcomsoft_phone_password_breaker-150x248.jpg" alt="" title="elcomsoft_phone_password_breaker" width="150" height="248" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-343433" />Russian forensics firm ElcomSoft earlier this week <a href="http://blog.crackpassword.com/2012/05/elcomsoft-helps-investigate-crime-providing-yet-another-way-to-break-into-ios-with-icloud-attack/">announced</a> that it has discovered a way to easily access iCloud backups of iOS devices, incorporating the functionality into its <a href="http://www.elcomsoft.com/eppb.html">Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker</a> software.  While the Apple ID and password must be known in order to access the iCloud data, once that information has been obtained the software makes it easy for investigators to download full iCloud backups and then follow incremental backups in near real-time to track a device's use without the knowledge of the user.<blockquote>ElcomSoft researchers analyzed the communication protocol connecting iPhone users with Apple iCloud, and were able to emulate the correct commands in order to retrieve the content of iOS users’ iCloud storage. It’s important to note that, unlike offline backups that may come encrypted and must be broken into (a time-consuming operation), data retrieved from iCloud is received in plain, unencrypted form . The 5GB  of storage space can be retrieved in reasonable time, while receiving incremental updates is even faster.</blockquote>Obtaining a user's Apple ID password may not always be trivial, but ElcomSoft tools can also be used to capture that information from offline backups stored in iTunes.  And of course if the user disables iCloud syncing on its device or changes the Apple ID password, remote access is lost.
<br/>

<br/>
ElcomSoft has been at the forefront of development of password-cracking tools, last year incorporating a tool to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/05/24/forensics-firm-offers-tools-to-defeat-ios-4-encryption/">bypass hardware encryption</a> included in iOS 4.  Such tools are increasingly being used by law enforcement to aid their investigations as smartphones become increasingly common and collect a growing amount of information about users and their activity.
<br/>

<br/>
ElcomSoft offers several levels of its software, with the most powerful versions restricted to certain governmental agencies, including law enforcement, intelligence services, and other qualified forensic organizations.

Skolkovo has already landed agreements with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2010/nov10/11-01MSSKolkovoFundPR.aspx">Microsoft</a>, IBM, General Electric, Cisco, and others, with the project's backers envisioning the region becoming Russia's version of Silicon Valley bolstered by dozens of major corporations.
<br/>

<br/>
According to the report, Apple officials in Moscow declined to comment on the claims, but Skolkovo executive Roman Romanovsky indicated that the two sides have expressed interest in negotiating about possibilities. No deal appears to be imminent, although Romanovsky hopes that the talks will eventually lead to an agreement.
<br/>

<br/>
Apple is in the process of opening up its <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/01/25/apple-ramping-up-operations-in-israel-with-anobit-acquisition-and-new-research-center/">first major international research and development center</a> in Israel, looking to leverage its own expertise and that of Anobit, an Israeli flash memory company acquired by Apple earlier this year, to spur new innovations.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Each July since 2007, Apple has held its iTunes Festival in London, offering a month's worth of free concerts from some of the industry's top performers.

<br/>

<br/>
For the fourth consecutive year, the iTunes Festival will be held at The Roundhouse in London, with at least 60 acts performing over the 30 nights of the festival.

Free tickets are available through a lottery system to residents of the UK, Ireland, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and Apple will also be streaming live video of the concerts directly through iTunes on the desktop or through a dedicated mobile app.  The app appears to currently be limited to customers in the UK, and the company notes on its <a href="http://www.itunesfestival.com/international">international site</a> for the festival that it will announce streaming options in other countries in August.
<br/>

<br/>
Apple also typically releases <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewFeature?id=440027055">a number of live EPs and albums</a> from the shows, available for purchase through the iTunes Store.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
Apple has been working on the new device since before the current iPhone 4S model was introduced last October, said one person with knowledge of the project. Jobs, who had gone on medical leave from Apple starting last January, played a key role in developing the phone, this person said.</blockquote><i>Bloomberg</i> becomes the third major publication to offer an independent report this week  regarding a larger display for the next iPhone, following <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/16/apple-ordering-screens-of-at-least-4-inches-for-next-generation-iphone/"><I>The Wall Street Journal</i> and <i>Reuters</i></a> yesterday.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/sorkin_social_network-150x199.jpg" alt="Sorkin social network 150x199" title="sorkin_social_network-150x199.jpg" width="150" height="199" class="alignright" />Aaron Sorkin, the creative genius behind <em>The Social Network</em>, <em>The West Wing</em>, and upcoming HBO show <em><a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/04/29/second-newsroom-trailer/">The Newsroom</a></em> was recently <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/15/aaron-sorkin-confirmed-as-screenwriter-for-film-adaptation-of-steve-jobs-biography/">confirmed as the screenwriter</a> for Sony's upcoming movie based on Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs -- though, Sorkin himself says he has a lot of work to do.<br/>
<br/>
<em>Reuters</em> reports that Sorkin held an <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/17/entertainment-us-stevejobs-film-idUSBRE84G1H320120517">interview with reporters</a> and said he was still looking for something in Jobs' life to hang the movie on.<br/>
<blockquote>Sorkin noted that "The Social Network" saw the Facebook story through the lens of an acrimonious lawsuit that pitted CEO Mark Zuckerberg against his Harvard friends over the creation of the social media network.<br/>
<br/>
"Drama is tension versus obstacle. Someone wants something, something is standing in their way of getting it. They want the money, they want the girl, they want to get to Philadelphia - doesn't matter ... And I need to find that event and I will. I just don't know what it is," Sorkin said.</blockquote>He noted that it won't be a "straight ahead biography" because a biography has a natural "cradle-to-grave structure" that is very hard to overcome.<br/>
<br/>
Sorkin also disclosed that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has been hired as a consultant by Sony Pictures to advise the filmmakers on the technical aspects of computers and about Jobs himself.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/apple_car.jpg" alt="" title="apple_car" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-full wp-image-343389" />Speaking at <i>Fast Company</i>'s Innovation Uncensored conference earlier this week, J. Crew CEO and Apple board member Mickey Drexler <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1837636/j-crew-ceo-apple-mickey-dexler-steve-jobs-icar-living-room-plans">shared his thoughts</a> (<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-wanted-to-build-an-icar-2012-5">via <i>Business Insider</i></a>) on several topics related to Apple, including Steve Jobs' dream to build an "iCar" that would have revolutionized the automobile industry.  While the idea obviously never developed very far, it is an intriguing glimpse into Jobs' interests and ambitions.
<br/>

<br/>
Drexler also mentioned in passing that Apple will be making a push into the living room "in the near future", fueling further interest in and speculation on an Apple television set and perhaps ultimately content deals that could remake how television content is consumed.<blockquote>Look at the car business – it's a tragedy in America. Who's designing the cars? They talk about expense, they talk about this, and then you say 'Who's designing the cars?'
<br/>

<br/>
Steve's dream before he died was to design an iCar. It would have been probably 50% of the market. He never did design it. In the fashion business, you know, Apple has ten products and then they leave alone...the living room they're dealing with at some point in the near future.</blockquote><center><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="embedded_player_298ed3f3c4904" name="embedded_player_298ed3f3c4904" width="512" height="308" data="http://service.twistage.com/plugins/player.swf" class="player-swf"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="movie" value="http://service.twistage.com/plugins/player.swf"></param><param name="base" value="http://service.twistage.com"></param><param name="flashVars" value="p=fc_episode&v=298ed3f3c4904&"></param><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param></object></center>
<br/>
Drexler closed with a quip about how difficult it is to take over a company that is doing well, comparing his move to take over struggling J. Crew nearly a decade ago with Tim Cook's move to the CEO position at Apple.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Verizon yesterday <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/16/verizon-planning-to-end-grandfathered-unlimited-data-plans-with-lte-switch/">made headlines</a> for comments from Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo revealing that the carrier is planning to discontinue its grandfathered unlimited data plans when the carrier rolls out new shared data plans this summer.  Verizon dropped those unlimited data plans within months of introducing the iPhone early last year, but customers who had previously been on the unlimited plans have been allowed to keep them, even through handset upgrades.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/05/verizon_iphone_cook-500x331.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Tim Cook and Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead introduce the Verizon iPhone in January 2011</i></center>
<br/>
Verizon <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/verizon-clarifies-shared-data-plans/">issued a clarification</a> to <i>The New York Times</i> today, noting that the loss of grandfathered unlimited plans will be limited to those customers purchasing new subsidized devices for use on the carrier.  Users who do not upgrade their devices or who choose to upgrade at unsubsidized prices will be able to keep their unlimited data plans.  Still, the change would appear to be set to affect the majority of Verizon's current unlimited data customers, as most customers are interested in regular handset upgrades at subsidized prices.<blockquote>- Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.
<br/>

<br/>
- When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.
<br/>

<br/>
- Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.
<br/>

<br/>
- The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.</blockquote>Sprint remains the only major U.S. carrier to offer unlimited data for iPhone users, and the carrier has indicated that it <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/25/sprint-to-offer-unlimited-data-plans-for-next-iphone-even-if-lte-included/">will continue to do so</a> for the next-generation device, even if it supports 4G LTE networks that could lead to consumers using more data capacity.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2012/05/17/nanny-computing-and-the-future-of-os-x/"><i>TUAW</i> reports</a> that Apple will be scaling back on systemwide "hotkey" apps, which allow users to call up other apps and functions, in the Mac App Store as of June 1, the same date the company's <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/21/apple-extends-deadline-for-sandboxing-of-mac-app-store-apps-to-june-1/">sandboxing requirements</a> are scheduled to go into effect.<blockquote>Apparently, Apple will allow hotkey apps that are already in the Mac App Store before June to offer only bug fixes after that. New sandboxed apps and any apps that add features (i.e. non-bugfix releases) will not be allowed to support hotkeys.
<br/>

<br/>
TUAW has been told that Apple will be rejecting all MAS apps with hotkey functionality starting June 1, regardless of whether the new features are hotkey related or not. Basically, if you're developing one of those apps, an app that assumes you can still add hotkeys, don't bother submitting it to the Mac App Store.</blockquote>Various cross-scripting and macro apps will be affected by the change, which appears to be related to the sandboxing requirement that limits what applications can do on other parts of users' systems.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/pixelmator_sandboxing.jpg" alt="" title="pixelmator_sandboxing" width="500" height="169" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343371" />
<br/>
With the sandboxing requirement set to go into effect two weeks from now after several delays, a number of developers are undoubtedly working to make sure their apps are in compliance with the new rules.  Just today, Pixelmator <a href="http://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2012/05/17/pixelmator-2-0-4-sandboxing/">announced</a> that it has updated its image-editing app to meet sandboxing requirements, making it one of the first high-profile apps to make the move.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/1166857/apps_using_global_hotkeys_will_remain_welcome_in_the_mac_app_store.html"><i>Macworld</i> refutes</a> the claim regarding hotkey apps, citing its own sources saying "such apps remain welcome in the cozy confines of Apple's software store."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Our sister-site <em>TouchArcade</em> notes that Chillingo's excellent physics puzzler <em>Feed Me Oil</em> is <a href="http://toucharcade.com/2012/05/17/freebie-alert-chillingos-physics-puzzler-feed-me-oil/">free today for both the iPhone and iPad</a>. It's normally &#36;0.99 for iPhone and &#36;1.99 for iPad. <em>Feed Me Oil</em> is something of a mix between <em>World of Goo</em> and <em>Where's My Water?</em>.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/feedmeoil.jpg" alt="Feedmeoil" title="feedmeoil.jpg" width="480" height="320" class="aligncenter"/><blockquote>Every level features two things: A spigot where oil shoots from, and an area (usually designed as a mouth of a strange creature) where you've got to get the oil to. Completing each level involves getting the oil from the spigot to the goal area utilizing widgets you can drag into the game area. For instance, oil flows off simple platforms, it can be curved by magnets, and even blown in a different direction by fans.<br/>
<br/>
<em>Feed Me Oil</em> was shockingly popular when it first hit last summer, so there's a decent chance you already have it. If this is the first you've heard of it though, make sure you don't miss this freebie.</blockquote><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X6qhbZkMA0Q?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br/>
Feed Me Oil is available free for today for <a href="http://appshopper.com/games/feed-me-oil">iPhone</a> and as an HD version for <a href="http://appshopper.com/games/feed-me-oil-hd">iPad</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Earlier today, we <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/17/apple-receives-regulatory-approval-for-20-megawatt-solar-farm-at-north-carolina-data-center/">noted</a> that Apple had received official approval for its 20-megawatt solar farm across the street from its data center in Maiden, North Carolina.  But even more significant developments are also occurring today, with Apple posting a <a href="http://www.apple.com/environment/renewable-energy/">new page</a> to the environmental section of its website touting that all of the company's data centers will be powered by 100% renewable energy.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/maiden_data_center_power.jpg" alt="" title="maiden_data_center_power" width="560" height="356" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343354" />
<br/>
At the North Carolina site, the previously-annnounced 20-megawatt solar farm is being joined by a second farm of equal size a few miles away.  Combined with the 5-megawatt fuel cell facility also being built at the data center, 60% of the data center's power needs will be generated on site.  The remaining 40% will be purchased through agreements with outside renewable power producers.<blockquote>We’re currently building two solar array installations in and around Maiden. These sites use high-efficiency solar cells and an advanced solar tracking system. A 100-acre, 20-megawatt installation on the same site as our data center will produce 42 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy annually. A 100-acre site located a few miles away will produce another 42 million kWh. Together that’s 84 million kWh of clean, renewable energy supplied annually. When our bio-gas-powered 5-megawatt fuel cell installation comes online later this year, it will provide more than 40 million kWh of renewable energy annually. This means Apple will be producing enough onsite renewable energy — 124 million kWh — to power the equivalent of 10,874 homes.</blockquote>Apple's efforts in renewable energy will also extend to its other data center facilities, as the company <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/18/greenpeace-activists-protest-at-apples-irish-offices-over-data-center-energy-use/">previously disclosed</a> that its upcoming Prineville, Oregon data center will be powered by 100% renewable energy.  And the new page posted today reveals that the company's original, smaller data center in Newark, California will soon be powered by renewable energy as Apple works to locate and purchase clean energy for the facility, with the capacity scheduled to be in place by February 2013.
<br/>

<br/>
Greenpeace last month <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/17/greenpeace-takes-on-apple-and-other-tech-companies-over-coal-powered-data-centers/">bashed Apple</a> using estimates it claimed showed that only 10% of the North Carolina data center's power would be from renewable sources.  Apple rebutted those claims, noting that <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/18/greenpeace-activists-protest-at-apples-irish-offices-over-data-center-energy-use/">at least 60%</a> of the center's energy would be from renewable sources.  With today's announcements, Apple has expanded its efforts even further to power all of its data centers with 100% renewable energy.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/xfinity.jpg" alt="Xfinity" title="xfinity.jpg" width="180" height="61" class="alignright" />Several years ago, Comcast began <a href="http://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2008/08/its-official-comcast-starts-250gb-bandwidth-caps-october-1/">instituting bandwidth caps</a> of 250GB per month on its residential customers. In 2008, this was plenty for most customers, but with the advent of streaming video services like Netflix, Hulu, WatchESPN and others, some users have been concerned about whether the 250GB cap was sufficient for their needs.
<br/>

<br/>
Today, Comcast has announced it is <a href="http://blog.comcast.com/2012/05/comcast-to-replace-usage-cap-with-improved-data-usage-management-approaches.html">revamping its cap system</a>, instituting larger caps with the ability for customers to purchase additional gigabytes in blocks.
<br/>
<blockquote>The first new approach will offer multi-tier usage allowances that incrementally increase usage allotments for each tier of high-speed data service from the current threshold. Thus, we'd start with a 300 GB usage allotment for our Internet Essentials, Economy, and Performance Tiers, and then we would have increasing data allotments for each successive tier of high speed data service (e.g., Blast and Extreme). The very few customers who use more data at each tier can buy additional gigabytes in increments/blocks (e.g., &#36;10 for 50 GB).
<br/>

<br/>
The second new approach will increase our data usage thresholds for all tiers to 300 GB per month and also offer additional gigabytes in increments/blocks (e.g., &#36;10 per 50 GB). 
<br/>

<br/>
In both approaches, we'll be increasing the initial data usage threshold for our customers from today's 250 GB per month to at least 300 GB per month.</blockquote>In its blog post, Comcast <a href="http://blog.comcast.com/2012/05/comcast-to-replace-usage-cap-with-improved-data-usage-management-approaches.html">notes</a> that it is continuing to "consider other ways to ensure that all of our customers are treated fairly and have a consistent and superior experience while using our residential high speed Internet service in the way in which it is intended."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The North Carolina Utilities Commission today <a href="http://ncuc.commerce.state.nc.us/cgi-bin/webview/senddoc.pgm?dispfmt=&itype=Q&authorization=&parm2=JAAAAA83121B&parm3=000137888">officially approved (PDF)</a> Apple's proposal to construct a 20-megawatt solar farm across the street from its data center in Maiden, North Carolina.<blockquote>The Public Staff presented this matter to the Commission at its Regular Staff Conference on May 14, 2012. The Public Staff recommended that the Commission approve the application and issue a certificate of public convenience and necessity for construction of a 20 MW solar photovoltaic electric generating facility to be located at 6028 Startown Road, Maiden, North Carolina.
<br/>

<br/>
After careful consideration, the Commission finds good cause to approve the application and issue the attached certificate of public convenience and necessity for the proposed 20 MW solar photovoltaic electric generating facility.</blockquote>Previous filings with federal regulators have indicated that Apple plans to have the solar farm installed by November 1, with operation to begin by December 21.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/02/apple_maiden_data_center-500x337.jpg" alt="" title="apple_maiden_data_center" width="500" height="337" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-337023" />
<br/>
Apple <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/25/apple-building-solar-farm-at-north-carolina-data-center/">signaled its intentions</a> to build a data center at the site last October, moving to clear and grade the land as it sought approval for the project.  The company <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/20/apple-touts-plans-for-massive-solar-farm-and-fuel-cell-facilities-at-north-carolina-data-center/">publicly unveiled</a> its plans back in February, noting that the facility will be the largest user-owned solar array in the United States.  A separate 5-megawatt fuel cell facility is also under development at the site and is proceeding through a parallel regulatory approval process.
<br/>

<br/>
The official proposal was filed with the North Carolina Utilities Commission on February 15, and was subjected to staff review of the plans, a public notice and comment period, and input from the State Clearinghouse on environmental and other issues.  With that information in hand, the Commission offered its official approval this past Monday and finalized the certificate issuance today.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Exploring an observation initially made by iOS hacker <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/planetbeing">@planetbeing</a>, <a href="http://www.shoutpedia.com/apple-is-filtering-jailbreak-term-in-the-us-itunes-store-11080/"><i>Shoutpedia</i> notes</a> that Apple has mysteriously begun censoring the word "jailbreak" in the U.S. iTunes Store.  While not all mentions of the word are affected, the vast majority of them across all content types are currently being censored to "j*******k".
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/thin_lizzy_jailbreak_censor.jpg" alt="" title="thin_lizzy_jailbreak_censor" width="560" height="240" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343327" />
<br/>
Apple has long objected to the jailbreaking process, which opens up iOS devices for installation of apps from non-Apple approved sources and other system tweaks.  But it is unclear what the company is trying to achieve with its iTunes Store censoring, which affects such content as Thin Lizzy's song and album of that name and an episode of the The Roy Rogers Show from the early 1950s.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/roy_rogers_real_world_jailbreak_censored.jpg" alt="" title="roy_rogers_real_world_jailbreak_censored" width="461" height="170" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343328" />
<br/>
The censoring appears to only affect the U.S. iTunes Store at the present time, but it has been in effect for over eight hours now.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: The censoring appears to be inadvertent. Searches for 'jailbreak' on the Apple Store now return results without any asterisks.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Earlier this month, we <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/06/apple-seeks-to-gain-control-of-iphone5-com-domain/">noted</a> that Apple had filed a claim with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) seeking to gain ownership of the iPhone5.com domain, which had hosted a small independent discussion forum for the past year and a half.
<br/>

<br/>
<a href="http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/05/17/apple-wins-dispute-over-iphone5-com-domain-name/"><i>The Next Web</i> now reports</a> that the case has been terminated, indicating that the dispute has been resolved without WIPO having had to render a decision.  The domain is now under the control of brand protection firm Corporation Service Company, presumably on Apple's behalf, and simply displays a blank page.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/wipo_iphone5com_terminated.png" alt="" title="wipo_iphone5com_terminated" width="418" height="181" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343317" />
<br/>
Apple's move to take possession of the iPhone5.com domain naturally fuels speculation that it will use the name for its next-generation iPhone, although that is not necessarily the case.  Given the popularity of the name within discussions of the future iPhone, Apple may simply be protecting its iPhone trademarks while also seeking to control content at what is likely to be a popular destination for those searching for information on the company's products.
<br/>

<br/>
For those curious about iPhone6.com, the domain has changed hands several times, having first been registered in 2007 by an individual in Dubai who later transferred it to an owner in South Korea.  But since mid-2010, ownership information for the domain has been kept private and there is currently no site associated with the address.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/twctv-150x152.png" alt="" title="twctv.png" width="150" height="152" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-343308" />Time Warner Cable and Viacom have settled their <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/08/time-warner-cable-goes-to-court-for-ipad-app-content-rights/">legal entanglements</a> regarding Time Warner's streaming of Viacom video content on its <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/14/time-warner-cable-to-launch-live-tv-streaming-ipad-app/">iPad app</a>, according to the <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/16/viacom-and-time-warner-cable-reach-deal-on-app-for-streaming-programs/"><em>New York Times</em></a>.
<br/>
<blockquote>The breakthrough comes as a result of a settlement between Time Warner Cable and Viacom, which owns cable channels like Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV and others. For months there had been a heated dispute over whether the cable company should have access to Viacom programs through its TWCable TV app.
<br/>

<br/>
On Wednesday, Viacom said that the companies had agreed "to resolve their pending litigations" and that "all of Viacom’s programming will now be available to Time Warner Cable subscribers for in-home viewing via Internet protocol-enabled devices such as iPads."</blockquote>The companies have been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/08/time-warner-cable-goes-to-court-for-ipad-app-content-rights/">fighting over streaming rights</a> for more than a year. Time Warner argued that its existing agreements give it the right to provide video streams on any screen, rather than just the television. Viacom said the app was "unlicensed distribution of Viacom's programming." Viacom still has a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/23/viacom-sues-cablevision-over-live-tv-app-for-ipad-negotiating-settlement-with-time-warner/">pending lawsuit</a> with Cablevision over its Optimum live TV app.
<br/>

<br/>
Viacom's programming will roll out on the Time Warner Cable app over the next few weeks.
<br/>

<br/>
Time Warner's app, <em>TWC TV</em>, is <a href="http://appshopper.com/entertainment/twcable-tv">available free</a> on the App Store for its cable customers. [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/twc-tv/id420455839?mt=8">Direct Link</a>]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/filevault-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="filevault.jpg" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-343304" />Security firm Symantec <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/01/flashback-malwares-ad-click-hijacking-detailed-could-reap-10000day/">previously estimated</a> that the authors of the Flashback malware that affected hundreds of thousands of Macs at its peak could have been generating up to &#36;10,000 per day by hijacking users' ad clicks. <a href="http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/osxflashback-how-turn-your-botnet">Further analysis from the company</a> suggests that the developers may have only earned &#36;14,000 over the three weeks the malware was active.
<br/>
<blockquote>From our analysis we have seen that, for a three-week period starting in April, the botnet displayed over 10 million ads on compromised computers but only a small percentage of users who were shown ads actually clicked them, with close to 400,000 ads being clicked. These numbers earned the attackers &#36;14,000 in these three weeks, although it is worth mentioning that earning the money is only one part of the puzzle—actually collecting that money is another, often more difficult, job. Many PPC providers employ anti-fraud measures and affiliate-verification processes before paying. Fortunately, the attackers in this instance appear to have been unable to complete the necessary steps to be paid.
<br/>

<br/>
It is estimated the actual ad-clicking component of Flashback was only installed on about 10,000 of the more than 600,000 infected machines. In other words, utilizing less than 2% of the entire botnet the attackers were able to generate &#36;14,000 in three weeks, meaning that if the attackers were able to use the entire botnet, they could potentially have earned millions of dollars a year.</blockquote>Symantec notes that the malware developers displayed more than 10 million hijacked ads and could have delivered many more if the developers had been more successful in their attacks.
<br/>

<br/>
Some security specialists have said that the Mac OS is <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/apple-invites-kaspersky-lab-to-consult-on-os-x-security-issues/">"really vulnerable" to further infections</a>, though these claims should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt -- those security specialists make their living off vulnerabilities and it is in their best interest to promote awareness of them.

Apple notes that "MacBookPro3,1", which corresponds to mid and late 2007 machines, is not compatible with the new build, but that issue will be rectified in a later build.
<br/>

<br/>
No other details on improvements in the latest build are available yet, but it certainly appears that Apple is making some of its final tweaks for developers leading up to its Worldwide Developers Conference less than four weeks away.  Apple is expected to provide extensive previews of OS X Mountain Lion at the conference, with a public launch scheduled for "late summer".
<br/>

<br/>
The new Mountain Lion build is still a bit short of the 12A211 build <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/unreleased-2012-macbook-pro-and-imac-models-showing-up-in-benchmarks/">spotted in a Geekbench entry</a> for an apparently unreleased MacBook Pro earlier this week.  While that entry could have been faked, the data does match closely with what is known about upcoming Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro models, and Primate Labs <a href="http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/2012/05/ivy-bridge-macs/">believes the entry to be legitimate</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[With Apple's MacBook Pro line now widely rumored to be gaining ultra high-resolution "Retina" or "HiDPI" displays at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference, <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57434966-37/retina-macbook-screens-already-here-and-pricey/"><i>CNET</i> reports</a> that such panels are already available in the supply chain and that they carry price premiums of up to &#36;100 over their non-Retina counterparts.  But what remains to be seen is whether that price difference will be passed along to consumers or if Apple will find ways to cut costs in other areas in order to maintain its existing price points.<blockquote>DisplaySearch Senior Analyst Richard Shim says that super high-resolution 13.3-inch and 15.4-inch panels that Apple would be a prime candidate to use are already available from suppliers.
<br/>

<br/>
"We're seeing it at 15.4 (inches)," Shim said in an interview yesterday. "You can get it."</blockquote>According to Shim, a Retina 15.4-inch display at 2880x1800 resolution for a density of 220 pixels per inch (ppi) currently costs approximately &#36;160, a &#36;92 increase over Apple's estimated cost of &#36;68 for the current display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro.  In the smaller 13-inch MacBook Pro, a Retina display at 2560x1600 costs &#36;134, a &#36;65 premium over the display used in the current model.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/macbook_pro_display_butterfly.jpg" alt="" title="macbook_pro_display_butterfly" width="560" height="335" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343287" />
<br/>
Unaddressed is the 17-inch MacBook Pro, which would require a display of 3840x2400 and undoubtedly carry an even higher price premium over the current display.  It is unclear, however, whether the 17-inch MacBook Pro will be receiving the same upgrades as the rest of the family at WWDC, as most rumors so far have pointed to only 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models being in production.  In addition, Apple has been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/10/more-claims-of-macbook-pro-adopting-macbook-air-form-factor-in-2012-redesign/">rumored</a> to be following the pattern of its transition to the unibody MacBook Pro design in moving the 17-inch model to the new form factor several months after its smaller siblings.
<br/>

<br/>
Shim notes that with these Retina resolution displays available in the supply chain, Apple is the most likely customer for the screens, although he has been unable to confirm what company or companies are purchasing them for use in their computers.
<br/>

<br/>
Also unclear is how Apple will handle the cost increase associated with the Retina displays.  While some cost savings will be achievable by the removal of the optical drive, Apple will almost certainly see increased costs for storage as the MacBook Pro reportedly moves from traditional hard drives to solid-state drives.  While such drives are used in the lower-priced MacBook Air models, higher-end users expected to be drawn to the MacBook Pro will likely demand higher-capacity drives at significantly greater costs.  Consequently, it will be interesting to see how Apple ends up pricing the redesigned MacBook Pro given all the changes involved.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[U.S. cellular carrier Verizon is planning to move its customers who still have unlimited data plans for their smartphones to its new <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/01/30/verizon-moving-closer-to-shared-data-plans/">family data-share plans</a> as customers switch to LTE data plans. 
<br/>

<br/>
The iPhone was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/01/25/verizon-to-offer-iphone-with-30-unlimited-data-plan/">initially offered</a> with unlimited data plans when it launched on Verizon early last year, but the carrier soon <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/20/verizon-dropping-unlimited-data-plan-next-month/">dropped</a> the unlimited option in favor of data plans with allocations of data.
<br/>

<br/>

<br/>
<em>Fierce Wireless</em> <a href="http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/verizon-will-kill-grandfathered-unlimited-data-plans-push-users-data-share/2012-05-16">has the details</a>, quoting Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo at a JP Morgan conference:
<br/>
<blockquote>As these 3G unlimited data plan customers migrate to 4G LTE, they will have to purchase the company's data-share plan (which Verizon plans to launch in mid-summer) and move off the &#36;30 per month unlimited data plan. "Everyone will be on data share," Shammo said.</blockquote>Verizon currently throttles its unlimited data users only when a particular cell tower is overloaded, whereas competitor AT&T slows its unlimited users after they <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/01/att-revamps-throttling-policy-only-slows-unlimited-users-above-3gbmonth/">use 3GB of data</a> in a month. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/04/att-ceos-only-regret-is-offering-unlimited-data-packages/">recently noted</a> that his one regret about bringing the iPhone to AT&T was offering unlimited data.
<br/>

<br/>
Sprint, the number three carrier in the country -- and the only carrier to still offer unlimited data packages for the iPhone -- has said it will <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/25/sprint-to-offer-unlimited-data-plans-for-next-iphone-even-if-lte-included/">continue to offer unlimited data plans</a> for the iPhone, even if the next iPhone includes LTE, as is expected.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<i>Digitimes</i>' poor track record has been <a href="http://techland.time.com/2012/05/14/digitimes-apple-rumors/">thrust into the spotlight</a> in recent days, but that hasn't stopped one of the Taiwanese news site's reports from having a major effect on stock prices for Samsung and Hynix.  The <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120514PD219.html">report</a> from earlier this week claims that Apple has placed "huge" orders for DRAM chips with Elpida, soaking up half of the capacity at the firm's main plant in Hiroshima, Japan.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/elpida_sdram_ipad_3.jpg">
<br/>
<i>1 GB of Elpida DRAM in third-generation iPad (Source: <a href="http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-3-4G-Teardown/8277/1">iFixit</a>)</i></center>
<br/>
As <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/16/us-samsung-chips-idUSBRE84F0BT20120516">noted by <i>Reuters</i></a>, the rumor has had a significant effect on fellow DRAM manufacturers Samsung and Hynix, with Samsung losing &#36;10 billion in market value today in a 6% stock decline.  The smaller Hynix was down nearly 9%<blockquote>"It looks like Apple doesn't want to see Samsung and hynix dominate the chip market. Apple wants to maintain its bargaining power by keeping Elpida running," said Choi Do-yeon, an analyst at LIG Investment & Securities.</blockquote>Elpida filed for bankruptcy in late February, and Micron has emerged as a likely acquirer for the company.  The combined Micron-Elpida would be a strong competitor in the DRAM market, sparking concerns for others in the competitive industry.
<br/>

<br/>
DRAM, the volatile memory used to hold active applications and other data for use while a device is in operation, is a commodity in the consumer electronics market, with Apple routinely sourcing from multiple suppliers and shifting orders to achieve the best pricing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/07/htc_logo-150x83.jpg" alt="" title="htc_logo" width="150" height="83" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-316833" />Last December, Apple won a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/19/itc-rules-for-apple-in-patent-case-bans-some-htc-imports/">U.S. International Trade Commission case</a> against HTC, with the agency ruling that several of HTC's handsets infringed upon a pair of Apple-held patents.  The agency's ruling included a ban on the import of infringing devices beginning in April, although HTC quickly responded to say that it had already designed a workaround for the issue in question.
<br/>

<br/>
But as <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/15/3022907/at-t-htc-one-x-blocked-at-us-customs-infringing-apple">reported by <i>The Verge</i></a> late yesterday, U.S. Customs officials have delayed shipments of HTC's new One X and Evo 4G LTE handsets into the United States as it investigates whether those handsets also infringe upon Apple's patents.<blockquote>We've learned today that the One X and Evo 4G LTE are indefinitely delayed at Customs as the agency investigates patent issues with Apple, and sources have further confirmed that some shipments are indeed being held back. The One X is also currently out of stock at AT&T's online store and at most AT&T retail stores we've called — and few had any information on when more units would arrive.</blockquote>HTC issued a follow-up statement confirming the customs hold and indicating that it is working to secure the release of the shipments.<blockquote>The US availability of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. The HTC One X and HTC Evo 4G LTE have been received enthusiastically by customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.</blockquote><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120516-704176.html"><i>Dow Jones Newswires</i> provides more information</a> today, noting that HTC will need to delay the launch of the Evo 4G LTE, which had been scheduled to debut on Sprint this Friday, May 18.  In addition, AT&T is experiencing shortages of the One X due to the customs hold, although some units were able to enter the country before the import ban went into effect on April 19.

"I can't give you too many details, but I'd like to repeat that both sides do hope to boost our cooperation," Xi added after the meeting.</blockquote>China Unicom was Apple's launch partner for the iPhone in China, and availability expanded to China Telecom earlier this year.  Compatibility with China Mobile's network has, however, been hampered by the carrier's custom technology that would require specialized iPhone hardware to operate on the network.  But with future wireless modem chips adding compatibility for China Mobile's network, it is possible that the next-generation iPhone could be directly compatible with China Mobile's network, eliminating the need for custom hardware to suit the carrier.

<br/>
China Mobile already has <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/05/china-mobile-hits-15-million-unofficial-iphone-users-as-apple-fixes-iphone-4s-signal-issues/">15 million iPhone customers</a> on its network, even though those customers are limited to the carrier's 2G network due to the differences in standards for 3G networks.  The carrier has even taken to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2010/11/12/china-mobile-offers-instructions-and-sim-cutting-service-for-iphone-4-owners/">officially supporting</a> those customers with a SIM-cutting service and other resources.
<br/>

<br/>
Xi's predecessor, Wang Jianzhou, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/15/china-mobile-reaffirms-discussions-with-apple-for-td-lte-iphone/">stated several times</a> that China Mobile was in talks with Apple about the iPhone, so it is unclear whether Xi's statements indicate that progress is being made or if there is simply an ongoing dialog between the two companies that has yet to lead to a firm relationship.

<br/>

<br/>
Production is set to begin next month for the screens, which measure at least 4 inches diagonally compared with 3.5 inches on the iPhone 4S, the latest phone from Apple, the people said.</blockquote>Apple is reportedly working with LG, Sharp, and Japan Display (the newly-merged display businesses of Sony, Hitachi, and Toshiba) on the new screen.

<br/>
<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>'s report does not specify what aspect ratio the larger display will use, and other rumors have conflicted on whether Apple will <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/11/new-iphone-rumors-reiterate-claims-of-new-dock-connector-no-change-to-screen-aspect-ratio/">maintain the existing ratio</a> or <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/03/more-claims-of-taller-thinner-next-generation-iphone-with-4-inch-screen-and-new-dock-connector/">increase the screen's height</a> while keeping the width consistent with existing models.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: <i>Reuters</i> has <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/16/us-apple-iphone-idUSBRE84F0MA20120516">filed its own report</a> making similar claims, although one of its sources seems more firm that the screen will measure 4 inches diagonally, as opposed to the "at least 4 inches" reported by <i>The Wall Street Journal</i>.<blockquote>Apple Inc plans to use a larger screen on the next-generation iPhone and has begun to place orders for the new displays from suppliers in South Korea and Japan, people familiar with the situation said on Wednesday. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
The new iPhone screens will measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one of the sources said.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/10/sorkin_social_network-150x199.jpg" alt="" title="sorkin_social_network" width="150" height="199" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-328003" />Sony Pictures today <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/05/aaron-sorkin-to-script-steve-jobs-based-on-walter-isaacson-book-for-sony/">announced</a> that Aaron Sorkin will indeed serve as the screenwriter for the studio's upcoming film adaptation of Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs.  Sorkin, who is famous for his work on <i>The West Wing</i>, <i>The Social Network</i>, <i>Moneyball</i>, and <i>A Few Good Men</i>, noted late last year that he was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/11/23/aaron-sorkin-strongly-considering-writing-screenplay-for-steve-jobs-movie/">"strongly considering"</a> taking on the project.<blockquote>Commenting on the announcement, [Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy] Pascal said, “Steve Jobs’ story is unique: he was one of the most revolutionary and influential men not just of our time but of all time. There is no writer working in Hollywood today who is more capable of capturing such an extraordinary life for the screen than Aaron Sorkin; in his hands, we’re confident that the film will be everything that Jobs himself was: captivating, entertaining, and polarizing.”</blockquote>Casting for the film has yet to be determined, but rumors have suggested that <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/11/18/george-clooney-and-noah-wyle-vying-to-play-steve-jobs-on-film/">George Clooney and Noah Wyle</a> may be in the running for the role of Jobs.  Wyle portrayed Jobs in the 1999 made-for-TV film <i>The Pirates of Silicon Valley</i>, which focused on the early days of Jobs and Bill Gates.
<br/>

<br/>
The project is a completely separate effort from an independent film about Jobs that has <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/01/ashton-kutcher-to-play-steve-jobs-in-upcoming-indie-film-jobs/">Ashton Kutcher starring</a> in the lead role.  Just last week, Kutcher was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/12/ashton-kutcher-spotted-wearing-steve-jobs-trademark-wardrobe/">spotted wearing Jobs' trademark wardrobe</a> en route to the film's set, where filming is currently underway while Kutcher is on a break from his television show <i>Two and a Half Men</i>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple has filed a motion to dismiss in a case filed by customers over alleged misleading advertising depicting the Siri technology in the iPhone 4S. The lawsuit, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/12/apple-sued-over-misleading-advertising-in-siri-depictions/">filed in March</a>, alleges that Apple's advertising of Siri doesn't reflect real-world usage. When asked for directions or to locate a store, "Siri either did not understand what Plaintiff was asking, or, after a very long wait time, responded with the wrong answer."<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/siri_beta_wish.png" alt="Siri beta wish" title="siri_beta_wish.png" width="264" height="262" class="aligncenter"/><br/>
In a motion to dismiss (<a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/93671314/Apple-Response">via Scribd</a>), Apple attempts to shoot down the Plaintiff's arguments, <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/05/15/apple-fires-back-in-lawsuit-over-siris-performance/">reports the <em>Wall Street Journal</em></a>:<br/>
<blockquote>They offer only general descriptions of Apple’s advertisements, incomplete summaries of Apple’s website materials, and vague descriptions of their alleged—and highly individualized—disappointment with Siri. Tellingly, although Plaintiffs claim they became dissatisfied with Siri’s performance “soon after” purchasing their iPhones, they made no attempt to avail themselves of Apple’s 30-day return policy or one-year warranty—which remains in effect. Instead, they seek to take an alleged personal grievance about the purported performance of a popular product and turn it into a nationwide class action under California’s consumer protection statutes. The Complaint does not come close to meeting the heavy burden necessary to sustain such claims.</blockquote>Apple continues to heavily advertise Siri and the iPhone 4S. The two latest ads for the product <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/16/verizonapple-airs-new-iphone-tv-ad-featuring-samuel-l-jackson-and-siri/">feature celebrities Samuel L. Jackson and Zooey Deschanel</a> using Siri to plan date night and to get tomato soup delivered.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[With long-running rumors of ultra high-resolution "Retina" displays for Apple's next-generation MacBook Pro receiving a significant boost with <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/thinner-15-inch-macbook-pro-coming-with-retina-display-and-usb-3-0/">reports</a> from <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/apple-to-release-thinner-macbook-pro-at-wwdc/">several sources</a> surfacing yesterday and similar upgrades now being <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/15/retina-displays-also-coming-to-next-generation-imac/">rumored for the iMac</a>, fans of the MacBook Air have been awaiting word on when they might expect Apple's smallest Mac notebooks to gain the feature.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/macbook_air_mission_control_hand.jpg" alt="" title="macbook_air_mission_control_hand" width="560" height="296" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343210" />
<br/>
<a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/15/apple-also-working-on-macbook-airs-and-imacs-with-retina-displays/"><i>9to5Mac</i> now reports</a> that Apple is indeed unsurprisingly planning to bring Retina displays to the MacBook Air, with that upgrade being the most significant change for the next-generation line.<blockquote>Apple’s new MacBook Air will not see major changes across the entire computer like the next-generation MacBook Pro, but this update will truly be all about the Retina Display. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
Apple is preparing both new 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch models. These new Airs lack notable design changes, but feature fast and power-efficient Ivy Bridge processors and improved graphics engines to support the Retina Display, according to supply chain sources. The new Airs will also use improved Apple internal battery technology in order to support the battery life required by high-pixel-density screens such as the Retina Display, according to sources familiar with prototype versions of the super-thin notebook’s internal components.</blockquote>The report's source suggests that the updated MacBook Air is unlikely to appear at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference, with Apple still working to meet the Retina display's power requirements within the MacBook Air's thin form factor.
<br/>

<br/>
Apple is also reportedly undecided on whether it will include USB 3.0 in the next-generation MacBook Air.  The USB 3.0 standard, offering higher data transfer speeds, is reportedly being included on the revamped MacBook Pro, but the company is still weighing whether it wants to bring the standard to its lower-priced MacBook Air line.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) today <a href="http://www.theacsi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=281:press-release-may-2012&catid=13&Itemid=357">released its latest rankings</a> of customer satisfaction in the United States for mobile phones and a number of products and services, with the new mobile phone rankings being expanded to include Apple, Research in Motion, LG, and HTC for the first time.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/asci_mobile_phones_2012.jpg" alt="" title="asci_mobile_phones_2012" width="504" height="385" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343182" />
<br/>
In its first appearance in the rankings, Apple easily topped the list with a score of 83, outdistancing Nokia, LG, and HTC in a tie for second place at 75. Apple's performance marks the first time a mobile phone company scored above 77 in any of the group's surveys dating back to 2004.<blockquote>For many users, the advent of smartphone technology has dramatically changed what they look for in a cell phone device. Two smartphones makers, Apple and Research in Motion (RIM), enter the ACSI with very different results. At 83, Apple (iPhone) leads the field by a long shot, while RIM (Blackberry) lags behind as the least satisfying at 69. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
At 83, Apple’s iPhone is a game changer when it comes to customer satisfaction. No other cell phone company has ever broken into the 80s. Apple’s nearest competitors this year are three companies tied at 75: Nokia (+3%) and ACSI newcomers LG and HTC.</blockquote>Apple has <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/20/apple-tops-u-s-pc-customer-satisfaction-survey-for-eighth-consecutive-time/">routinely topped</a> ACSI surveys for personal computers, and with its new inclusion in the mobile phone category it is now leading that market as well.
<br/>

<br/>
On the carrier front, AT&T experienced a significant jump in customer satisfaction this year as other carriers saw drops, significantly tightened the field.  Among the four major carriers, Sprint led with a score of 71, followed by Verizon at 70 and T-Mobile and AT&T at 69.  All of those major carriers were beat out by the "All Others" category, which garnered a score of 76.

[Sean] Bratches, the network’s executive vice president of affiliate and advertising sales, spoke in an interview today.</blockquote>The brief report doesn't specify exactly how access to the WatchESPN functionality on the Apple TV would work, but currently customers of a number of cable and Internet companies have varying levels of access to the app's content on iOS and other platforms, which includes nearly all of ESPN's live broadcasts including online-only ESPN3 content.
<br/>

<br/>
Currently, cable subscribers through Comcast, Time Warner, Verizon FiOS, and Bright House have full access to WatchESPN content, while subscribers on a host of other Internet services can receive access to the ESPN3 content through the app.
<br/>

<br/>
<i>WatchESPN being sent to Apple TV via AirPlay</i></center>
<br/>
iOS device users who are eligible to access WatchESPN content can currently <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/time-warner-cable-ceo-hasnt-heard-of-apples-airplay/">send the content to an Apple TV via AirPlay</a>, but including the app directly on the Apple TV would streamline that process.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: <i>Bloomberg</i> has expanded its article with additional comments from Bratches:<blockquote>“We’re a platform-agnostic content company,” Bratches, the network’s executive vice president of affiliate and advertising sales, said today in an interview. “To the extent that in the future there’s an opportunity with Apple to authenticate through the pay-TV food chain as we’re doing with Microsoft, that’s something that we will participate in.”</blockquote><b>Update 2</b>: <i>Bloomberg</i> has updated its article once again, citing comments from an ESPN spokesperson backtracking from Bratches' statements by noting that there are no active talks with Apple underway.<blockquote>No deal is imminent with Apple, said Amy Phillips, a spokeswoman for Bristol, Connecticut-based ESPN.
<br/>

<br/>
“We’re not having conversations with Apple about authenticating WatchESPN,” Phillips said.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/googles-chrome-browser-is-coming-for-ios-says-macquarie-2012-5"><i>Business Insider</i> reports</a> on a new research note from Macquarie analyst Ben Schacter, who claims that Google is working to bring a version of its Chrome browser to iOS devices.  According to the report, Apple "may already be reviewing" the app, which could debut before the end of the quarter.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/google_chrome_browser_android.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Google Chrome browser for Android</i></center>
<br/>
Google currently splits ad revenue share with Apple for Google searches performed through Safari, a deal that currently sees Google paying Apple roughly <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/13/apple-subpoenaed-for-details-on-ios-search-deal-in-google-antitrust-investigation/">&#36;1 billion per year</a>.  With a potential Chrome browser for iOS leading to Google keeping all revenue for searches through the browser for itself, Google could see a significant financial benefit if it can achieve a substantial user base on iOS.
<br/>

<br/>
The problem for Google is that Apple does not make it convenient for users to take advantage of third-party browsers, with Safari alternatives like Opera and Dolphin representing only tiny fractions of iOS browser share.  Systemwide calls for browser actions throughout iOS apps are linked to Safari, meaning that users have to take extra steps to use a different browser, with the inconvenience leading the vast majority of users to simply use Safari for their iOS browsing needs.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[More than four years after Psystar challenged Apple by first <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/04/14/openmac-promises-399-headless-mac-but-not-from-apple/">selling &#36;399 unauthorized Mac clones</a> and later shifting tactics to offer <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2009/10/22/psystar-releases-rebel-efi-software-to-enable-installation-of-snow-leopard-on-pcs/">software</a> supporting installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard on PCs, the dispute between the two companies has finally reached its conclusion.  As <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57434212-37/supreme-court-denies-psystars-appeal-in-mac-clone-case/">noted by <i>CNET</i></a>, Psystar's persistent legal appeals have now been exhausted as the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review an <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/29/appeals-court-sides-with-apple-in-dispute-over-psystars-unauthorized-mac-clones/">appellate court ruling</a> from last September upholding a ban on Psystar's sales of Mac clones.<blockquote>Following a rejection of Psystar's appeal to that decision in September, the company's lawyers vowed to take it up to the Supreme Court. "This is far from over," K.A.D. Camara of Houston law firm Camara & Sibley LLP told Computerworld in an interview. The company kept to its word, and filed for a review from the Supreme Court on December 27, 2011.
<br/>

<br/>
"We are sad," Camara told CNET by e-mail this evening. "I'm sure that the Supreme Court will take a case on this important issue eventually."</blockquote>Psystar's persistence that saw the company press the issue with Apple as far as the courts would allow led Apple to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/12/03/apple-suggests-possible-conspiracy-behind-psystar/">suggest a potential conspiracy</a>, questioning why a small company would be so bold in the face of Apple's legal action and how it could have financed the expensive court battles.  No such conspiracy was ever revealed, however, with Psystar's financial backing remaining something of a mystery.
<br/>

<br/>
<i>Psystar's original "OpenMac" Mac clone, quickly rebranded "Open Computer" to skirt Apple's trademarks</i></center>
<br/>
While Apple was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/07/15/apple-sues-psystar-over-opencomputer/">quick to file suit</a> against Psystar in July 2008 and an initial <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2009/12/15/apple-wins-permanent-injunction-against-psystar/">injunction against Psystar</a> effectively shut down the company in December 2009, the court cases continued to play out over an additional period of nearly two and half years.  Psystar attempted to fund its legal defense during some of that time by <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2009/12/27/pystar-asks-for-donations-sells-i-sued-psystar-t-shirts/">soliciting donations and selling T-shirts</a>, and did somehow manage to secure enough funding to support filing several more appeals taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As part of <i>ABC News</i>' <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/05/thinner-apple-macbook-pro-with-retina-display-coming/">roundup of the latest MacBook Pro rumors</a>, Joanna Stern claims that not only the MacBook Pro family but also the iMac line is set to gain ultra high-resolution "Retina" displays.<blockquote>The laptop will see the introduction of the “Mac Retina Display,” which is said to have a very high resolution. ABC News has similarly heard from its own sources that both the next MacBook Pro and the iMac would be getting very, very high resolution displays. Apple refreshed its new iPad with a Retina Display in March.</blockquote>The MacBook Pro has long been the focus of the Retina or HiDPI display rumors, but it seems natural that Apple would want to move all of its displays to the standard.  What is unclear, however, is just how Apple will implement the increased resolution given that most Macs already <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2012/03/01/retina-display-macs-ipads-and-hidpi-doing-the-math/">approach Retina resolution</a> at typical viewing distances.
<br/>

<br/>
Many have assumed that Apple will follow the model used in the iPhone and iPad, doubling the resolution in each dimension with a screen carrying four times the pixels of its predecessor.  That specific suggestion has already been made in regards to a rumored <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/14/apple-to-launch-2880x1800-resolution-retina-display-macbook-pro-in-q2-2012/">15-inch MacBook Pro with 2880x1800 display</a> compared to the 1440x900 display in the current model.
<br/>

<br/>
But as screen sizes get even larger, quadrupling the number of pixels starts to bump up against the hardware capabilities of graphics chips and display interface standards.  While a 17-inch MacBook Pro coming in at a Retina resolution of 3840x2400 might be possible, the more significant issues surface with the iMac, which is also gaining higher-resolution displays according to today's report.
<br/>

<br/>
The 21.5-inch iMac would see a pixel count in the range of the 17-inch MacBook Pro as its 1920x1080 resolution would be bumped to 3840x2160, but the 27-inch iMac would move from its current resolution of 2560x1440 to a monster Retina display at 5120x2880.  The same panel could also be used in a revised Apple Thunderbolt Display should hardware be able to support the resolution.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/imacs_2011_lion.jpg" alt="" title="imacs_2011_lion" width="560" height="269" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343148" />
<br/>
Consequently, some have suggested that Apple would increase display resolution on its Mac lines by a smaller amount than seen on iOS devices, with current variation in pixel density among Mac models already introducing some flexibility in interface element sizes.  But with most Mac models offering pixel densities in the range of 100-130 pixels per inch (ppi), moving to a somewhat higher density such as 160-170 ppi to qualify as a Retina display still imposes some difficulties for developers and users.
<br/>

<br/>
While user interface elements do vary in physical size depending on the machine they are displayed on, they are designed to be usable in the typical range of 100-130 ppi.  Moving to something in the range of 160-170 ppi, for example, could result in user interface elements becoming too small for users to click on with ease unless applications are specifically updated with new elements designed for that pixel density range.  Otherwise, elements could be scaled to approximate the physical size seen on lower-resolution displays, but this scaling would undoubtedly degrade image quality.
<br/>

<br/>
<a href="http://appcubby.com/blog/os-x-at-2x/">David Barnard has argued</a> that Apple could still use the pixel doubling motif on larger Mac displays without necessarily having to quadruple the number of actual pixels if users would be willing to accept a smaller workspace than seen on current machines.  In one example, Barnard describes how rather than moving the current 2560x1440 27-inch iMac all the way to 5120x2880, Apple could instead offer a display at 3840x2400 that would present itself with a Retina workspace of 1920x1200.<blockquote>Apple could build a 3840 by 2400 pixel 27-inch screen that presented itself as a pixel doubled 1920 by 1200 pixel display. That’s effectively an 84ppi screen @1X and 168ppi screen @2X.  [...]
<br/>

<br/>
What you should notice is that the text and UI elements are physically smaller on the current 109ppi iMac than they’d be on the hypothetical 84/168ppi 27-inch iMac. This may be frustrating to some users, but I actually prefer my old 94ppi 24-inch Cinema Display to any of Apple's higher PPI displays. I like that the system default 12pt text is larger. The sacrifice is in the usable workspace, and that’s a matter of taste.</blockquote>So while Apple appears to face some challenges in bringing its Retina display concept to the Mac, the company seems to be committed to making the transition.  It simply remains to be seen how the company will implement the move, hardware rumors and hints within OS X Lion and Mountain Lion are certainly pointing toward Retina Mac displays sooner rather than later.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/11/nvidia_logo.jpg"><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/11/nvidia_logo-150x120.jpg" alt="" title="nvidia_logo" width="150" height="120" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-330226" /></a>As long ago as last November, <i>SemiAccurate</i> claimed that Apple would be <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/11/21/apple-switching-back-to-nvidia-for-next-generation-macbook-pro-graphics-chips/">switching back to NVIDIA</a> from AMD for the graphics chips in the next-generation MacBook Pro.  With MacBook Pro rumors flooding out today, that claim is gathering renewed momentum from several sources.
<br/>

<br/>
In its <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/05/thinner-apple-macbook-pro-with-retina-display-coming/">roundup of the latest MacBook Pro rumors</a>, <i>ABC News</i> specifically claims that Apple will be using NVIDIA graphics chips in the new MacBook Pro reportedly set for introduction at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference.<blockquote>The new laptops are expected to be powered by Intel’s latest processors, called Ivy Bridge. Those processors will be faster than the current generation of Intel processors and improve graphics. However, the laptops will also get a graphics boost  from Nvidia’s latest graphics, the GeForce GT 650M card.  ABC News has heard the same from its sources, which say Apple will move from AMD to Nvidia graphics chips in this version of the MacBook Pro.</blockquote><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/14/3020483/new-macbook-pros-confirmed-to-have-nvidia-graphics"><i>The Verge</i> offers similar claims</a>, with the growing reports suggesting that the switch from AMD to NVIDIA may indeed be taking place.<blockquote>Apple's updated MacBook Pro rumored to arrive this summer will feature Nvidia graphics alongside Intel's Ivy Bridge processors, a switch from the AMD GPUs in the current models. The news comes to us directly from a trusted source, and it's further corroborated by Joanna Stern at ABC News, whose sources also tell her that the new machines will indeed feature high resolution Retina Displays.</blockquote>Apple has moved back and forth between NVIDIA and AMD several times over the years, taking advantage of whichever graphics chip firm is offering the better product with the right pricing and timing.  Consequently, a shift to NVIDIA should not be taken as an indication that it is a long-term decision, although Apple has been rumored to be making a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/14/apple-switching-back-to-nvidia-graphics-for-upcoming-mac-pro-update/">similar move for the Mac Pro</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<em>Bloomberg</em> <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-14/apple-said-to-prepare-thinner-mac-laptops-sporting-intel-chips.html">confirms</a> a report from <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/thinner-15-inch-macbook-pro-coming-with-retina-display-and-usb-3-0/">earlier today</a> that Apple is preparing to release thinner MacBook Pro models with Retina displays.
<br/>

<br/>
The models are to be released at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 11 and will also include flash memory to "cut startup times and extend battery life". The report is likely a "controlled leak", something that Apple PR has been known to do in the past to share product details. 
<br/>

<br/>

<br/>
<center><em>Mockup of thinner 15-inch MacBook Pro design (left) compared to current design (right)</em></center>
<br/>
<blockquote>Apple Inc. is preparing a new lineup of thinner MacBook laptops running on more powerful chips made by Intel Corp., people with knowledge of the plans said.
<br/>

<br/>
The MacBook Pro machines, to be unveiled at Apple’s annual developers conference starting June 11, also will feature high- definition screens like those on the iPhone and iPad, as well as flash memory to cut startup times and extend battery life, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been made public.</blockquote>The MacBook Pro lineup was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/24/apple-bumps-macbook-pro-with-processor-graphics-storage-upgrades/">last updated</a> in October of 2011, though it hasn't had a substantial redesign <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/10/14/apple-announces-new-macbook-pros-updates-macbook-air/">since 2008</a>.
<br/>

<br/>
<em>Bloomberg</em> also suggested that Apple will announce the launch date of the OS X Mountain Lion release that Apple <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/16/apple-releases-first-developer-preview-of-os-x-mountain-lion-public-launch-in-late-summer/">previewed</a> earlier this year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/ibooks_icon.jpg" alt="Ibooks icon" title="ibooks_icon.jpg" width="150" height="150" class="alignright" /><a href="http://paidcontent.org/2012/05/14/e-book-class-action-new-details/">Seventeen more states</a> have joined the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/11/u-s-department-of-justice-sues-apple-and-publishers-over-e-book-pricing/">antitrust lawsuit</a> against Apple and several book publishing houses over the pricing of ebooks. Perhaps more interesting are certain details released in the latest filing that were previously redacted, including one from Steve Jobs. Portions of this email have been seen before, but this is the first chance the public has had to see a major negotiation written by the former CEO.<br/>
<br/>
As <a href="http://paidcontent.org/2012/05/14/e-book-class-action-new-details/">reported by <em>PaidContent</em></a>, Steve Jobs became directly involved in the pricing negotiations after Apple executive "Eddy Cue could not secure one of the Conspiring Publisher’s commitment directly from an executive." Jobs "wrote to an executive at the parent company, in part": <br/>
<blockquote>As I see it, [Conspiring Publisher] has the following choices:<br/>
<br/>
1. Throw in with Apple and see if we can all make a go of this to create a real mainstream ebooks market at &#36;12.99 and &#36;14.99.<br/>
<br/>
2. Keep going with Amazon at &#36;9.99. You will make a bit more money in the short term, but in the medium term Amazon will tell you they will be paying you 70% of &#36;9.99. They have shareholders too.<br/>
<br/>
3. Hold back your books from Amazon. Without a way for customers to buy your ebooks, they will steal them. This will be the start of piracy and once started, there will be no stopping it. Trust me, I’ve seen this happen with my own eyes.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see any other alternatives. Do you?</blockquote>The complaint goes on to claim that the publishers and Apple "worked together to force" Random House -- the one publishing company to turn down the agency pricing model favored by Apple -- to adopt it as well. The claim goes so far as to claim that publishing companies tried to convince Barnes & Noble to not feature Random House books in any of its advertising, something that B&N apparently did.<br/>
<br/>
Regarding the case, Apple has <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/12/apple-rebuts-antitrust-charges-over-e-book-pricing/">publicly defended itself</a> and also said it wants to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/18/apple-wants-trial-in-ibooks-antitrust-case/">defend itself in a jury trial</a>, saying that allegations against the company were "simply not true."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Earlier this month, <i>iLounge</i> reported that Apple is indeed looking to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/03/more-claims-of-taller-thinner-next-generation-iphone-with-4-inch-screen-and-new-dock-connector/">move to a 4-inch display</a> in the next-generation iPhone by increasing the height of the screen while keeping the width consistent.  With the report including a number of other specifics including measurements for the new device, we commissioned <a href="http://www.ciccaresedesign.com/">Ciccarese Design</a> to produce some higher quality mockups of what such a device might look like.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><a href="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone_4in_4s_ciccarese_large.jpg"><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone_4in_4s_ciccarese.jpg"></a>
<br/>
<i>Rendered mockup of taller iPhone with 4-inch display (left) and iPhone 4S (right)

<br/>
As had been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/10/apple-could-achieve-a-4-inch-iphone-display-by-increasing-height-only/">proposed in earlier speculation</a>, a taller display could allow Apple to add one more row of icons to the iPhone's home screen, moving to five rows per page plus the row of pinned icons in the dock at the bottom of the screen.  
<br/>

<br/>
Increasing the diagonal measurement of the iPhone display from 3.5 inches to 4 inches while maintaining the same width as the current display adds approximately 11 mm (0.45 inch) to the height of the display.  With <i>iLounge</i>'s report indicating that the new iPhone's body will measure in at approximately 125 mm, which is 10 mm taller than the iPhone 4S, the spacing for the components above and below the display would remain roughly the same.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><a href="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone_4in_front_back_ciccarese_large.jpg"><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone_4in_front_back_ciccarese.jpg"></a>
<br/>

<br/>
The mockup also shows a smaller dock connector as has been rumored by several sources, as well as a flat metal panel in the central portion of the rear shell of the iPhone, in line with <i>iLounge</i>'s claims.
<br/>

<br/>
<a href="http://www.ciccaresedesign.com/">Ciccarese Design</a> has also provided us with an <a href="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone5.html">interactive 3D model</a> of this mockup, accessible via WebGL-enabled browsers.  On OS X, Safari users can turn on WebGL by first navigating to <b>Preferences -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar</b> and then choosing the "Enable WebGL" option from the Develop menu that appears.
<br/>

<br/>
It should be noted that <i>iLounge</i>'s claims have been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/11/new-iphone-rumors-reiterate-claims-of-new-dock-connector-no-change-to-screen-aspect-ratio/">directly contradicted</a> by a recent report from <i>iMore</i>, which claims that Apple has yet to settle on a final form factor for the next-generation iPhone but that there appears to be no change to the aspect ratio of the display and that there will be no metal panel on the rear of the device.  Both <i>iLounge</i> and <i>iMore</i> have offered accurate information in the past, and thus it remains to be seen which source is closer to the mark on this round of rumors.

<br/>

<br/>
Apple addressed that issue today for users of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, releasing <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1534">Leopard Flashback Removal Security Update</a> to clean infected systems and disable the Java plug-in in Safari.<blockquote>This update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware. If the Flashback malware is found, a dialog will notify you that malware was removed. In some cases, the update may need to restart your computer in order to completely remove the Flashback malware.
<br/>

<br/>
To improve the security of your Mac, this update also disables the Java plug-in in Safari. For instructions on how to re-enable it, please visit: <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5241">http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5241</a>.</blockquote>The update weighs in at 1.23 MB and requires Mac OS X 10.5.8.
<br/>

<br/>
On a separate note, Apple also released <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1533">Leopard Security Update 2012-003</a>, which automatically disables out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player for security reasons.  The update weighs in at 1.11 MB and requires Mac OS X 10.5.8.
<br/>
<blockquote>This update disables versions of Adobe Flash Player that do not include the latest security updates and provides the option to get the current version from Adobe's website.</blockquote>Apple included similar functionality for Lion and Snow Leopard systems in <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531">Safari 5.1.7</a> released last week <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/09/apple-releases-os-x-10-7-4/">alongside OS X 10.7.4</a>.
<br/>

<br/>
Today's software releases for Mac OS X Leopard mark the first significant software updates for the operating system since the debut of OS X Lion in mid-2011.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[AirPlay is a technology that <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/airplay/">seamlessly moves audio and video</a> from device to device in the Apple ecosystem. It's built into the iPhone, iPad, and -- most importantly -- the Apple TV set-top box. Among other things, AirPlay can be used to send video from iPhone apps like YouTube, MLB.tv, or WatchESPN to the AppleTV.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/espnairplay.jpg" alt="Espnairplay" title="espnairplay.jpg" width="560" height="373" class="aligncenter"/><br/>
Apple hasn't advertised AirPlay as strongly as some other features, like the iPhone 4S's Siri, though it did <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/07/10/apple-airs-new-airplay-and-facetime-iphone-ads/">run a television ad</a> after the iPhone 4 was introduced in 2011. That said, it's surprising that Glenn A. Britt, the chief executive of Time Warner Cable said he hadn't heard of the service, <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/14/time-warner-apple-tv-airplay/">according to the <em>New York Times</em></a>.<br/>
<blockquote>"I’m not sure I know what AirPlay is," he said, though he noted that he was an enthusiastic Apple customer. "Today we want to be on every screen. Today it’s a little bit clunky to get programming from the Internet onto the TV — not so hard to get it on your iPad. What’s hard is the plumbing, what wires do you connect, what device do you use. So the current Apple TV, the little thing, the hockey puck, really doesn’t do anything to help enable you to get Internet material on your TV."</blockquote><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6XYbVwg5B7g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br/>
Ironically, Apple has solved Britt's problem -- though he wasn't aware of it -- but the company is not pushing AirPlay too strongly upon its users, nor the media companies. The Apple TV natively supports only a handful of third party services like streaming MLB, NHL, and NBA games, as well as Netflix.<br/>
<br/>
However, AirPlay support has allowed many apps to send "programming from the Internet onto the TV", just as Britt wants, and could foreshadow the market segment a rumored Apple television set would fill.

Currently, users can only store one set of photos in iCloud through a feature called Photo Stream, which is designed to sync those photos to other Apple devices, not share them.</blockquote>Apple also appears to be looking to extend the Photo Stream feature to videos, allowing users to access their personal videos through iCloud.  Finally, the report confirms that the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/11/apple-bringing-notes-and-reminders-to-icloud-com/">Notes and Reminders icons</a> spotted on a beta.icloud.com site late last week will be associated with new functionality to sync those services via iCloud for access through both dedicated apps and the iCloud website.
<br/>

<br/>
All of the new iCloud features are expected to make their way into iOS 6, which is also expected to be previewed at WWDC.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As <a href="http://tidbits.com/article/13002">highlighted by <i>TidBITS</i></a> (<a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/1166787/apple_mobileme_mail_will_still_be_available_without_icloud.html">via <i>Macworld</i></a>), Apple has informed the last holdout users still on the company's MobileMe service that they will be able to continue using their Me.com even after MobileMe's June 30 discontinuation, even if they do not fully convert to iCloud.  The option, which is detailed on Apple's <a href="http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html">MobileMe transition guide</a>, will be of particular benefit to those users whose devices aren't compatible with iCloud.<blockquote><b>What if I just want to keep using my email on all my devices?</b>
<br/>
As of May 1, you can choose to keep using your mail after MobileMe ends, even on devices that don’t meet the iCloud system requirements. Just go to me.com/move and select the option to keep using your email after MobileMe ends. Once you have completed this short process, your mail will continue to work on devices that don’t meet the iCloud requirements after MobileMe ends on June 30th, 2012.</blockquote>Apple's notice to current MobileMe members was actually <a href="http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apple_lets_mobileme_users_keep_mac.com_me.com_e-mail/">detailed by <i>The Mac Observer</i></a> back on May 1, including screenshots showing the option at me.com/move for users to opt out of moving to the full iCloud service and simply retain access to email and calendars.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/icloud_move_email_only.jpg" alt="" title="icloud_move_email_only" width="560" height="335" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343063" />
<br/>
Apple's process suggests that only web-based access to Me.com/Mac.com email will be available following the migration, but <i>TidBITS</i> notes that users can bypass Apple's automated iCloud email setup to manually access MobileMe accounts.<blockquote>In Mail, after moving your address to iCloud, delete your existing MobileMe account: Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, select your MobileMe account in the list on the left, and click the – (minus) button. Then click the + (plus) button to add a new account and fill in your mac.com or me.com address and password. But now hold down Option while clicking Continue. This bypasses Mail’s automated setup process (which would configure the account for the MobileMe servers — not what you want). On the next screen, choose IMAP from the Account Type pop-up menu. Enter imap.mail.me.com for the incoming mail server address, click Continue, and enter  smtp.mail.me.com for the outgoing mail server address. Once you’ve completed the process, Mail in Snow Leopard should be able to check your iCloud mail both now and after MobileMe is turned off.</blockquote>Most notably, iCloud is not officially compatible with OS X Snow Leopard, leaving some users who systems are not compatible with OS X Lion without access to iCloud.  Apple has been trying to push all potential MobileMe users toward iCloud as the MobileMe service heads for discontinuation next month, even offering <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/18/apple-driving-icloud-conversions-with-free-copies-of-snow-leopard-for-mobileme-users/">free copies of Snow Leopard</a> to help users of even older operating systems to move to iCloud-compatible Lion.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/02/apple_security_icon-150x168.jpg" alt="" title="apple_security_icon" width="150" height="168" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-337243" /><a href="http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/2174190/apple-vulnerable-claims-kaspersky-lab-cto"><i>Computing.co.uk</i> reports</a> on comments from the Chief Technology Officer of Russian security firm <a href="http://www.kaspersky.com">Kaspersky Lab</a>, who claims that his firm has been invited by Apple to probe security issues on OS X and to assess the platform's vulnerabilities.<blockquote>Speaking exclusively to Computing, Kaspersky CTO Nikolai Grebennikov said his firm had recently begun the process of analysing the Mac OS platform at Apple's request.
<br/>

<br/>
"Mac OS is really vulnerable," he claimed, "and Apple recently invited us to improve its security. We've begun an analysis of its vulnerabilities, and the malware targeting it," said Grebennikov.</blockquote>Grebennikov believes that Apple "doesn't pay enough attention to security", citing the Java vulnerability that led to hundreds of thousands of <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/05/600000-macs-worldwide-reportedly-infected-by-flashback-trojan/">Flashback malware infections</a>.  That vulnerability was patched by Oracle before the outbreak, but Apple did not issue its own update to close the hole in time.
<br/>

<br/>
Grebennikov also notes that it is only a matter of time before malware begins showing up on iOS devices, believing that such threats will appear within the next year or so.  Apple's "walled garden" approach of restricting application installation to software available through the App Store has allowed the company to minimize such threats for the time being, but Grebennikov argues that malware creators will find their way in and that Apple needs outside security expertise to help manage those threats due to its relative inexperience in the field.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: Kaspersky Lab has <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/14/kaspersky-exec-calls-mac-os-really-vulnerable/">provided clarification</a> to <i>Engadget</i>, claiming that Grebennikov's comments were taken out of context and that Apple has not invited Kaspersky to perform any security investigations.<blockquote>On Monday, April 14, computing.co.uk published an article titled "Apple OS 'really vulnerable' claims Kaspersky Lab CTO" that includes an inaccurate quote regarding Apple and Kaspersky Lab. The article reports that Kaspersky Lab had "begun the process of analyzing the Mac OS platform at Apple's request" to identify vulnerabilities. This statement was taken out of context by the magazine – Apple did not invite or solicit Kaspersky Lab's assistance in analyzing the Mac OS X platform. Kaspersky Lab has contacted computing.co.uk to correct its article.</blockquote>Kaspersky's analysis is being undertaken at its own initiative, although Apple has reportedly indicated that it is "open to collaborating" on any new issues Kaspersky discovers.

<br/>
- Landscape composing
<br/>
- Edit and create label/folder
<br/>
- Localization in 9 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese</blockquote>Sparrow also provided an update on its <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/04/push-email-is-coming-to-sparrow-for-iphone-promises-developer/">efforts to add push notifications</a>, revealing that Apple has declined to allow the feature directly and that Sparrow will have to implement its own solution.  As a result, push notifications will arrive in a future update and will require a yearly subscription.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Following the appearance of a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/14/unreleased-2012-macbook-pro-and-imac-models-showing-up-in-benchmarks/">benchmark</a> potentially signaling a near-term launch for Apple's much-rumored thinner MacBook Pro, <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/14/apple-readies-revamped-15-inch-macbook-pro-retina-display-ultra-thin-design-and-super-fast-usb-3-3/"><i>9to5Mac</i> reports</a> that it has received specific information on the new 15-inch MacBook Pro's design from a source who has handled prototype casings and other components.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/thin_mbp_15_comparison.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Mockup of thinner 15-inch MacBook Pro design (left) compared to current design (right)</i></center>
<br/>
The most obvious change for the new machine is its design, and while the report's source indicates that it will be considerably thinner than the existing MacBook Pro due to the removal of the optical drive, it will look essentially like a thinner version of the current MacBook Pro rather than adopting the tapered design of the MacBook Air as had been rumored previously.<blockquote>While many have speculated that the new 15-inch MacBook Pro will pickup the design from the late-2010/mid-2011 MacBook Air, sources familiar with the prototype units say that this is untrue. Instead, the new 15-inch MacBook Pro is described as being an ultra-thin version of the current MacBook Pro. Basically, the prototype design is a thinner, yet more robust, version of the late-2008 design. It has no tapering like the MacBook Airs.</blockquote>The casing of the forthcoming MacBook Pro reportedly includes ports for the MagSafe power connector, two USB ports, and audio in/out jacks along the left side, with a battery level indicator also included along the same side.  The right side is said to offer a pair of Thunderbolt ports, another USB port, an SD card slot, and a Kensington lock slot.
<br/>

<br/>

<br/>
<i>Mockup of port layout on thinner 15-inch MacBook Pro</i></center>
<br/>
The machines are said to lack a dedicated Ethernet port, with users apparently needing to rely on the <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC704ZM/A">USB-to-Ethernet dongle</a> introduced with the original MacBook Air if they wish to use a wired connection.  Given its height, the Ethernet port is one of the primary features limiting how thin the MacBook Pro can be, and it appears that Apple may simply have removed the port entirely in order to achieve the thin design it desired.  The new MacBook Pro may also forgo FireWire connectivity, although the report appears unsure on that point.
<br/>

<br/>
In line with previous rumors, the machine is said to include a "Retina" display, a development that has been rumored for some time and for which evidence has been showing up in builds of OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.  According to the report's source, OS X will simply offer a set of resolution quality options for the new machine ("such as big, small, or optimal") to allow users taking advantage of this new "HiDPI" support to select their desired combination of sharpness and resolution.
<br/>

<br/>
The report indicates that the USB ports on the new MacBook Pro will support USB 3.0, a feature some had questioned whether Apple would adopt given the move to Thunderbolt connectivity.  But last September it was <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/01/apple-still-considering-usb-3-0-in-addition-to-thunderbolt/">reported</a> that Apple was still considering support USB 3.0 alongside Thunderbolt, and that appears to be the route the company has taken as Thunderbolt peripherals have been rather slow to roll out in many cases.  A <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120514PD213.html">fresh report</a> from <i>Digitimes</i> also claims that Genesys Logic has won a contract to supply USB 3.0 chips for a forthcoming MacBook Air revision, and it seems likely that such compatibility would also be coming to the MacBook Pro.
<br/>

<br/>
A launch timeframe for the new MacBook Pro remains unknown, with the company expected to be able to introduce updated machines any time now as Intel's Ivy Bridge production ramps up.  With Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference just four weeks away, it is possible the company could use that event for a major product introduction, although Apple typically limits its hardware announcements at the event in order to focus on iOS and OS X discussion  <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120514PD208.html"><i>Digitimes</i> claims</a> that Apple's MacBook suppliers will begin increasing their shipments in June with production peaking in July, suggesting that Apple may indeed be targeting a major push for June.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=14859196">noted</a> in our <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1370824">forums</a>, two new benchmark results appearing in Geekbench's database within the past few days are sparking discussion about imminent upgrades to Apple's MacBook Pro and iMac lines.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/mbp.jpg" alt="" title="mbp" width="183" height="105" class="alignright size-full wp-image-343025" />The first item of interest is a <a href="http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/664125">MacBookPro9,1</a> entry, which would correspond to an unreleased MacBook Pro model of unknown size coming as a successor to the current MacBookPro8,x line.  While such results can be faked, the result in question is consistent with what is known or assumed about the forthcoming models.
<br/>

<br/>
This new MacBook Pro is listed as carrying an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3820QM quad-core processor running at 2.7 GHz.  That processor has long been viewed as the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/28/ivy-bridge-processors-launching-as-early-as-april-8/">natural successor</a> to Apple's current offerings in high-end 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models.  With the i7-3820QM being a 45-watt chip, it is extremely unlikely that Apple would be using it in a new 13-inch MacBook Pro model.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/geekbench_macbookpro91.jpg" alt="" title="geekbench_macbookpro91" width="500" height="612" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343021" />
<br/>
The unreleased system carries a benchmark of 12,262, compared to scores in the range of 10,500 for the corresponding current MacBook Pro processor, the Core i7-2860QM.
<br/>

<br/>
The motherboard identifier included with the new entry corresponds to one of several <a href="http://revogirl.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/new-mac-models-found-in-mountain-lion/">unreleased Mac configurations</a> identified in the first OS X Mountain Lion developer preview back in February.  In addition, the Geekbench result lists the test machine as running OS X Mountain Lion build 10A211, which would be newer than the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/02/apple-issues-update-to-os-x-mountain-lion-developer-preview-3/">12A193i build</a> seeded to developers on May 2.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/imac.jpg" alt="" title="imac" width="180" height="140" class="alignright size-full wp-image-343027" />On the iMac side is a new <a href="http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/657744">iMac13,2 entry</a>, which would appear to correspond to a new 27-inch iMac model.  The machine is listed as running an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770 quad-core processor running at 3.4 GHz, which would correspond to a relatively high-end option in a new model.  The system carries a benchmark of 12,183, only slightly higher than typical scores in the range of 11,500 for current iMac models using the top-of-the-line Core i7-2600 processor.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/geekbench_imac132.jpg" alt="" title="geekbench_imac132" width="500" height="636" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-343022" />
<br/>
Like the MacBookPro9,1, this iMac13,1 carries a motherboard identifier first seen in the initial OS X Mountain Lion developer preview back in February.  The machine used for benchmarking is listed as running build 10A2040 of OS X Mountain Lion, and while a four-digit suffix on the build number is somewhat unusual for OS X, such patterns have been observed in special builds in the past.
<br/>

<br/>
Such pre-mature benchmarks have <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2010/02/06/unreleased-core-i7-macbook-pro-61-benchmarked-supplies-constrained/">shown up</a> in Geekbench's database prior to new hardware launches from Apple in the past. Consequently, it is feasible that these results do represent genuine machines due for launch in the near future.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Part leaks from the next-generation iPhone are beginning to ramp up, with component vendor SW-BOX.com having recently added a new <a href="http://www.sw-box.com/Earphone-Jack-Ear-Speaker-WIFI-Cable-For-iPhone-5.html">headphone jack/earpiece/Wi-Fi cable part</a> claimed to be from the device (<a href="http://cydiablog.com/earphone-jack-ear-speaker-wifi-cable-for-iphone-5-leaked/">via <i>Cydia Blog</i></a>).  The new part joins a claimed <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/01/claimed-iphone-5-sim-card-tray-appears-identical-to-iphone-4s/">micro-SIM tray</a> that surfaced on the site several weeks ago and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/23/next-generation-iphone-part-leaks-begin-with-home-buttons/">home buttons</a> that appeared on several sites late last month.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/iphone_5_headphone_jack_earpiece_cable.jpg" alt="" title="iphone_5_headphone_jack_earpiece_cable" width="445" height="431" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342997" />
<br/>
If the new part is indeed legitimate, it does represent a significant departure from the component organization in the current iPhone.  In the iPhone 4 and 4S, the headphone jack, volume buttons, and mute switch are <a href="http://www.sw-box.com/iPhone-4S-Earphone-Jack-Flex-Cable-Black.html">grouped together on a single component</a>, while this new part associates the headphone jack with the earpiece speaker and Wi-Fi cabling.
<br/>

<br/>
It is not terribly unusual for Apple to tweak the organization of components, and the new part leak offers essentially no information on any potential changes to the device's form factor, but with part leaks beginning to accelerate it may not be long before more substantial parts begin showing up.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/01/ashton-kutcher-to-play-steve-jobs-in-upcoming-indie-film-jobs/">casting of Ashton Kutcher</a> in the role of Steve Jobs in an upcoming independent film focusing on the Apple co-founder's life has certainly generated a significant amount of attention for the project, despite the fact that the film is a completely separate effort from the high-profile planned <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/07/sony-pictures-acquiring-rights-to-movie-about-steve-jobs/">Sony Pictures film</a> to be based on Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Jobs.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/kutcher_jobs_wardrobe_1.jpg" alt="" title="kutcher_jobs_wardrobe_1" width="350" height="525" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342987" />
<br/>
With filming on the indie film starring Kutcher having already begun with the star on break from his work on the TV show <i>Two and a Half Men</i>, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/12/ashton-kutcher-steve-jobs-makeover/"><i>TMZ</i> shares a few photos</a> of Kutcher seen wearing Jobs' trademark outfit of a black turtleneck, jeans, and sneakers.  The photos were reportedly taken on Friday while Kutcher was walking to the set of the film.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/kutcher_jobs_wardrobe_2.jpg" alt="" title="kutcher_jobs_wardrobe_2" width="480" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342988" />
<br/>
Kutcher has been said by some to bear an uncanny resemblance to a young Steve Jobs, particularly with having adopted a close copy of Jobs' hairstyle and facial hair from those days.  Jobs did not adopt his trademark wardrobe until a number of years later, but Kutcher is clearly taking on that aspect of Jobs' identity for the role as well.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple is in talks to acquire German luxury television manufacturer <a href="http://www.loewe.tv/">Loewe</a>, according to an <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/05/12/apple_reportedly_in_talks_to_acquire_german_hdtv_maker_loewe.html">unconfirmed report</a> from <em>AppleInsider</em>. The site claims Apple has offered €87.3 million for the company, a 48% premium from Loewe's <a href="http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/overview?symbol=LOEG.DE">Friday close</a> on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/loewe.jpg" alt="Loewe" title="loewe.jpg" width="560" height="415" class="aligncenter"/><blockquote>Word of the negotiations was exclusively revealed to <em>AppleInsider</em>, and although the offer has yet to be accepted, a source claims that Loewe "has been advised by its financial advisor to accept the offer and a final decision is scheduled to be announced internally before 18 May 2012."</blockquote>Loewe makes sleek, minimalist televisions that would seem to fit well with Jony Ive's product designs. The company also makes speaker systems, including the AirPlay-compatible <a href="http://www.loewe.tv/int/products/airspeaker/airspeaker.html">AirSpeaker</a>, as well as a sleek app that <a href="http://www.loewe.tv/int/products/assist-media-app/assit-media-app.html">controls the Loewe television set</a> via an iPad.
<br/>

<br/>
Loewe's largest shareholder is Sharp, the same company that has been rumored to be Apple's choice to work with Foxconn to build a television set. Foxconn and Sharp <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/27/foxconn-and-sharp-enter-partnership-to-advance-lcd-technology/">announced a partnership</a> to work together in March. <em>AppleInsider</em> says a decision on the acquisition will be announced internally by the end of this week.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: A Loewe company spokesman <a href="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Loewe-dementiert-Bericht-ueber-Kaufangebot-von-Apple-1574417.html">told German website <em>Heise</em></a> (<a href="http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/05/13/german-tv-maker-loewe-denies-apple-acquisition-rumour-says-report-has-absolutely-nothing-to-it/">via <em>The Next Web</em></a>) that the report has “absolutely nothing to it.”

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple is planning on implementing a new, smaller dock connector, <a href="http://www.imore.com/2012/05/11/iphone-5-design-finalized-big-screen-metal-track-october-release/">according to a report</a> by <em>iMore</em>. The site has been reliable in the past and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/13/ipad-3-announcement-on-march-7th-with-quad-core-and-4g-lte/">correctly predicted</a> the release of an LTE equipped iPad. iMore also reported that Apple is still in the prototyping phase for the next iPhone and that the design is not yet set in stone.<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/ilounge_iphone_5_dock1.jpg" alt="Ilounge iphone 5 dock" title="ilounge_iphone_5_dock.jpg" width="560" height="121" class="aligncenter"/><blockquote>Despite some rumors to the contrary, according to our sources Apple still hasn't finalized the design of the next generation iPhone 5 (or whatever Apple ends up calling iPhone 5,1). No giant screen. No 16:9 aspect ratio. No metal back.<br/>
<br/>
[…]<br/>
<br/>
Once again we're hearing that if the screen size does change, it won't be by a lot (no larger than 4-inches). We've heard nothing to indicate a planned change in the aspect ratio either way (and such a change still doesn't make much sense to us).</blockquote><em>iLounge</em> <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/03/more-claims-of-taller-thinner-next-generation-iphone-with-4-inch-screen-and-new-dock-connector/">previously claimed</a> that the next iPhone would have a smaller, redesigned dock connector as well as a 4" screen that is larger in height only -- this would result in an adjustment to the screen's aspect ratio. The iPhone 4's design has served Apple very well, with the company selling millions upon millions of units. It is possible that the company will choose to stick with the successful design, albeit with some minor changes, rather than a wholesale redesign.<br/>
<br/>
Other recent iPhone rumors include a claims that the next iPhone will <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/09/report-claims-7-inch-ipad-in-august-new-iphone-in-september-new-10-inch-ipad-by-end-of-year/">launch in September</a>; another that it would use the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/01/claimed-iphone-5-sim-card-tray-appears-identical-to-iphone-4s/">same micro-SIM</a> as current iPhones, rather than a new <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/09/nano-sim-card-standard-to-be-decided-this-month/">nano-SIM</a> concept; and that the next iPhone will <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/23/next-generation-iphone-part-leaks-begin-with-home-buttons/">retain its physical home button</a> -- a claim that <em>iMore</em> <a href="http://www.imore.com/2012/05/11/iphone-5-design-finalized-big-screen-metal-track-october-release/">reiterates</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/08/hp_logo-150x141.jpg" alt="" title="hp_logo" width="150" height="141" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-321455" />Among Apple's early competitors in the tablet market, HP gained a significant amount of attention as it initially sought to build its niche around webOS, which it <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/28/hp-to-acquire-palm-in-1-2-billion-deal/">acquired along with Palm</a> in early 2010.  HP <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/02/09/hp-announces-webos-based-touchpad-tablet-pre-3-and-veer-smartphones/">introduced its webOS-based TouchPad</a> in early 2011, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/13/hp-preparing-to-take-on-apple-with-touchpad-potential-cloud-based-media-service/">launching the device</a> on July 1 of that year only to <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/18/hp-to-spin-off-pc-business-as-sales-stagnate/">exit the tablet and smartphone business</a> just six weeks later.
<br/>

<br/>
HP then successfully sold off its backlog of TouchPads at &#36;99 fire sale prices, announcing that it would make webOS an <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/09/hp-turns-webos-open-source-could-offer-manufacturers-alternative-to-android/">open source project</a>.
<br/>

<br/>
The <i>Bangkok Post</i> <a href="http://www.bangkokpost.com/business/telecom/292767/hp-restarts-tablet-manufacturing">now reports</a> that HP has decided to reenter the tablet market, this time taking advantage of Microsoft's forthcoming Windows 8 platform in a fresh attempt to make an impact in the rapidly-growing tablet market.<blockquote>Restarting production is a strategic move aimed at capitalising on the extraordinary growth in tablet sales, chief executive Meg Whitman said yesterday at the Global Influencer Summit 2012. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
Todd Bradley, the executive vice-president for printing and personal systems, said HP's Windows 8 tablets will come equipped with cloud-based technology, enabling users to share and store content online between different devices.</blockquote>Apple continues to dominate the tablet market two years after the debut of the original iPad, with its shipment share even <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/03/apples-share-of-tablet-market-surges-to-68-as-kindle-fire-shipments-plummet/">rising to 68%</a> in the first quarter of 2012 as early momentum from Amazon's Kindle Fire seems to have faded.
<br/>

<br/>
Google's Android operating system has had only limited success in the tablet market, led by Samsung's Galaxy Tab offerings, while Amazon's heavily-customized Kindle Fire implementation of Android has also attempted to stake a claim to the market.  Other competitors have had less success, with webOS falling by the wayside almost before it got started.
<br/>

<br/>
Microsoft is the latest entrant into the tablet market since Apple reinvented the segment, banking on its Windows 8 products to bridge the gap between PCs and tablets.  The company <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/13/microsoft-previews-windows-8-for-tablets-and-pcs/">showed off Windows 8 last September</a> and earlier this year <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/09/microsoft-lays-out-plans-for-windows-on-arm-processors/">revealed its plans</a> for bringing Windows to ARM processors in a further effort to blur the lines between desktop and mobile.  HP, the world's largest PC manufacturer, could play a key role in working to spread Windows to the tablet market, but it remains to be seen whether Microsoft will have success with its efforts.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/amazingale.jpg" alt="Amazingalex" title="amazingale.jpg" width="180" height="138" class="alignright" />Finnish game studio <a href="http://www.rovio.com/">Rovio</a> has begun to drop hints about its next game -- and its first outside the Angry Birdiverse. <em><a href="http://www.amazingalex.com/">Amazing Alex</a></em> will be based on the game <em>Casey's Contraptions</em>, which Rovio <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/170084/Rovio_confirms_acquisition_of_Caseys_Contraptions_IP.php">recently acquired</a>.
<br/>

<br/>
Rovio CEO Mikael Hed <a href="http://yle.fi/uutiset/new_amazing_alex_game_chases_angry_birds/6091544">told a Finnish TV channel</a> that the game will focus on Alex, "a curious young boy who loves to build things." <em>The Next Web</em> <a href="http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/05/11/amazing-alex-rovio-ceo-confirms-name-of-angry-birds-successor/">quotes</a> Ville Jeijari, Rovio's VP of franchise development:
<br/>
<blockquote>The "gameplay is a perfect fit in our arsenal with its approachable, fun and highly addictive take on the physics puzzler genre," adding "We are currently reworking the title to enhance it, and getting ready to re-introduce it in a true 'expect the unexpected' Rovio style launch to an even larger audience."</blockquote><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/caseycontraptions.jpg" alt="Caseycontraptions" title="caseycontraptions.jpg" width="480" height="360" class="aligncenter"/>
<br/>
<em>Casey's Contraptions</em>, which has <a href="http://appshopper.com/games/caseys-contraptions">since been deleted</a> from the App Store, was an educational physics-based title that launched a year ago. <em>Amazing Alex</em> should have somewhat similar gameplay, but polished to Rovio's exacting standards.
<br/>
<blockquote>Help Casey get his toys back by building crazy contraptions. Create Rube Goldberg-like machines with toys and everyday items to solve puzzles and playtime scenarios. See the solutions your friends came up with, and share your own instantly with Game Center.
<br/>

<br/>
The fun doesn't stop there! Create your own contraptions with the toys you get back, and challenge your friends through email to solve them. You can use slingshots, RC trucks, darts, ropes, magnets, balloons, trapdoors, punching gloves, and more. Let's see who can come up with the craziest inventions!</blockquote>Rovio expects to launch <em><a href="http://www.amazingalex.com/">Amazing Alex</a></em> at some point in the next two months.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week, we <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/02/ios-apps-with-dropbox-integration-running-afoul-of-apples-app-store-rules/">noted</a> that several iOS developers were seeing their apps being rejected from the App Store for their inclusion of Dropbox integration that could allow users to sign up for Dropbox accounts and purchase extra Dropbox space.  Dropbox moved quickly in attempting to roll out a new SDK to avoid the issue and noted that it was "working with Apple" on a solution, but developers continued to experience problems with their apps being rejected.
<br/>

<br/>
Dropbox has continued to tweak its SDK in order to fully comply with Apple's requirements, and while Apple has not officially given the latest SDK its blessing, it <a href="http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=59350&page=4&replies=125#post-431784">appears to be satisfying App Store reviewers</a>.<blockquote>So we didn't get an official verdict (imagine the worst game of telephone you've ever played), but we do have reason to believe that this build is more likely to get approved than the previous build I posted earlier. [...]
<br/>

<br/>
What has changed is if the Dropbox app is not installed, it opens a login view directly in your app rather than going to Safari, and there is no option to create an account.</blockquote>Filip Radelic, the developer behind <a href="http://getcambox.com/">Cambox</a>, quickly incorporated the new SDK into his app and submitted it to Apple yesterday.  The app was quickly approved by Apple's reviewers and it is now available in the App Store.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/cambox_dropbox_settings.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Cambox's settings page with Dropbox options and login webview</i></center>
<br/>
Dropbox notes that the new SDK does not allow for account creation through the login webview if the Dropbox app is not installed on the user's device, but the company is hopeful that it will be able to add that feature as it continues to work with Apple to ensure the SDK's compliance.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/stroughtonsmith/status/200976360183836672">noted by Steven Stroughton-Smith</a> (<a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/11/apple-bringing-reminders-and-notes-web-applications-to-icloud-com-website/">via <i>9to5Mac</i></a>), Apple appears to be testing a revised iCloud.com portal at <a href="http://beta.icloud.com">beta.icloud.com</a> that shows two additional icons for Notes and Reminders in the background of the login screen.  The <a href="https://www.icloud.com/">standard iCloud.com portal</a> displays only icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone, and iWork.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/icloud_com_beta_notes_reminders.png" alt="" title="icloud_com_beta_notes_reminders" width="560" height="291" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342925" />
<br/>
Attempts to log in through the beta portal are unsuccessful, and even access to the portal has become intermittent, with it occasionally showing broken images or simply redirecting to Apple's standard <a href="http://www.apple.com/icloud/">iCloud information page</a>.
<br/>

<br/>
The development comes just days after Apple was observed <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/08/apple-testing-notifications-on-icloud-website/">testing notifications</a> on the regular iCloud.com portal, suggesting that Apple may indeed be working on a significant enhancement to its iCloud services.  More information may become available at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/klavr/status/200983812266672130">Tom Klaver notes</a> that the following text was included in one of the .js files used on the beta site:<blockquote>To use http://beta.icloud.com, first sign in to iCloud with the iOS 6 Beta.</blockquote><b>Update 2</b>: A second portal at <a href="http://developer.icloud.com">developer.icloud.com</a> has also been active periodically, and <i>SlideToLock</i> has <a href="http://slidetolock.com/ios/icloud-beta-website-reveals-notes-and-reminders-support/">pulled out an iCloud developer icon</a> from that background.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In line with its <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/07/adobe-creative-suite-6-now-available-creative-cloud-to-follow-on-may-11/">Creative Suite 6 announcement</a> from earlier this week, Adobe today <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/201205/051112AdobeCCShipping.html">launched its Creative Cloud subscription service</a>.  As part of the Creative Cloud debut, Adobe has also publicly debuted Muse, a subscription-based website creation package that allow users to easily create websites without needing to know HTML.  Muse has been in public beta since <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/15/adobe-introduces-muse-subscription-based-website-creation-tools/">last August</a>.<blockquote>Adobe Creative Cloud Membership Delivers:
<br/>

<br/>
- Access to download and install all CS6 applications, new HTML5 desktop products – Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge preview – and integration with Adobe Touch Apps
<br/>
- Easy storage and sharing of content across desktop, mobile devices and the cloud
<br/>
- Integrated website publishing and hosting
<br/>
- Ongoing innovation that provides members with the most up-to-date products and services</blockquote><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/adobe_creative_cloud_feature.jpg" alt="" title="adobe_creative_cloud_feature" width="560" height="302" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342919" />
<br/>
Individual pricing for Creative Cloud is set at &#36;49.99 per month with an annual commitment or &#36;74.99 on a month-to-month basis.  Muse is included in that package, but is also available as a standalone subscription product priced at &#36;14.99 per month with an annual commitment or &#36;24.99 on a month-to-month basis.
<br/>

<br/>
Adobe's Creative Cloud launch has also seen several improvements to the company's suite of iOS applications, including the launch of two new iPad apps: <a href="http://appshopper.com/productivity/adobe-proto">Adobe Proto</a> [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/adobe-proto/id517834953?mt=8">App Store</a>] and <a href="http://appshopper.com/productivity/adobe-collage">Adobe Collage</a> [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/adobe-collage/id517835526?mt=8">App Store</a>].  Plans for the two apps were <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/03/adobe-preparing-to-launch-six-new-creativity-apps-for-tablets/">announced last October</a> as part of Adobe's push into tablet apps.
<br/>

<br/>
Proto is a protoyping tool that allows users to create wireframes of websites and apps right on their iPads using touch gestures, while Collage is a mood board app allowing users to combine images, video, and text to help define creative concepts and share them with others.  Adobe has also updated its existing <a href="http://appshopper.com/photography/adobe-photoshop-touch">Photoshop Touch</a> [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/adobe-photoshop-touch/id495716481?mt=8">App Store</a>] and <a href="http://appshopper.com/entertainment/adobe%C2%AE-ideas-10-for-ipad">Ideas</a> [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/adobe-ideas/id364617858?mt=8">App Store</a>].
<br/>

<br/>
All four iOS apps, which are priced at &#36;9.99 each, integrate with the new Creative Cloud services, including the <a href="https://creative.adobe.com/plans">free level of support</a> which offers 2 GB of cloud-based file storage to allow for syncing of documents across applications.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/11/ios-6-apple-drops-google-maps-debuts-in-house-maps-with-incredible-3d-mode/"><i>9to5Mac</i> reports</a> that Apple will moving away from Google Maps services in iOS 6, making the transition to an in-house mapping service that included 3D views.  According to the report, Apple's prior acquisitions of mapping companies Placebase and Poly9 are ready to bear fruit, with last year's <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/29/apple-did-acquire-3d-mapping-company-c3-technologies/">purchase</a> of 3D mapping firm C3 Technologies rounding out the suite of services.<blockquote>The most important aspect of the new Maps application is a powerful new 3D mode. The 3D mode does not come enabled by default, but users simply need to click a 3D button that is conveniently and visibly stored in the app. Perhaps under the fold like the current traffic, pin, and map view buttons. This 3D mode is said to essentially be technology straight from C3 Technologies: beautiful, realisitic graphics based on de-classified missile target algorithms.</blockquote>Apple's in-house mapping services will otherwise be rather similar in appearance to the current Google Maps application, although Apple's implementation is said to be a "much cleaner, faster, and more reliable experience" and will include a new icon based on the same view of the company's Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino but with new colors and styling.
<br/>

<br/>

<br/>
<i>Current Google Maps aerial view (left) compared with mockup of Apple's 3D mapping mode (right)</i></center>
<br/>
Apple has clearly been working for some time to reduce its reliance on Google by developing its own mapping services for iOS, as evidenced by its acquisitions of mapping expertise and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2009/11/27/apple-to-take-iphones-maps-app-to-the-next-level/">job postings</a> addressing its ambitions for mapping.  The company has already <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2010/07/30/apple-moved-location-services-in-house-with-ipad-and-ios-4/">moved location services in-house</a> and revealed last year that it is building a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/27/apple-hints-at-future-turn-by-turn-gps-directions-with-traffic-for-iphone/">crowd-sourced traffic database</a> based on users' GPS data.
<br/>

<br/>
With the release of iPhoto for iOS back in early March, Apple took its first big step outside of the actual Google mapping services, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/08/apple-using-openstreetmap-data-in-iphoto-for-ios/">taking advantage of OpenStreetMap</a> and other services to generate its own map tiles for the application's Photo Journals feature.
<br/>

<br/>
Apple is expected to preview iOS 6 at next month's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, with the operating system presumably making its public debut alongside new iPhone hardware later in the year.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120511/apples-coming-map-app-will-blow-your-head-off/"><i>AllThingsD</i> says</a> that it has independently confirmed the claim.<blockquote>We’ve independently confirmed that this is indeed the case. Sources describe the new Maps app as a forthcoming tent-pole feature of iOS that will, in the words of one, “blow your head off.” I’m not quite sure what that means, and the source in question declined to elaborate, but it’s likely a reference to the photorealistic 3-D mapping tech Apple acquired when it purchased C3 Technologies.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2012-05/11/content_15264711.htm"><i>China Daily</i> briefly notes</a> (<a href="http://www.howtoarena.com/chairman-foxconn-terry-gou-confirms-apple-itv/">via <i>How To Arena</i></a>) that Foxconn chairman Terry Gou directly addressed the topic of Apple's rumored television set yesterday at a news conference in Shanghai marking the start of construction on a new company headquarters facility.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/12/siritv-500x375.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Apple "iScreen" concept by CiccareseDesign</a></i></center>
<br/>
According to the report, Gou claimed that Foxconn is making preparations for Apple's television set, with its recent <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/27/foxconn-and-sharp-enter-partnership-to-advance-lcd-technology/">partnership with Sharp</a> to push forward LCD display technology being one of those moves.<blockquote>Gou said Foxconn is making preparations for iTV, Apple Inc's rumored upcoming high-definition television, although development or manufacturing has yet to begin.
<br/>

<br/>
iTV reportedly features an aluminum construction, Siri, and FaceTime video calling
<br/>

<br/>
Foxconn's recent 50-50 joint venture factory with Sharp in Japan is one of the preparations made for the new device, Gou added.</blockquote>Rumors of an Apple television set have been picking up steam since Steve Jobs was quoted in his authorized biography as noting that he had "finally cracked" how to create "the simplest user interface you could imagine" for a television set, presumably referring to Siri voice control.
<br/>

<br/>
<b>Update</b>: Foxconn has <a href="http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/05/11/foxconn-chairman-confirms-company-is-to-build-apples-new-televisions/">issued a statement to <i>The Next Web</i></a> officially denying that Gou made any such comments.<blockquote>In remarks at a media briefing during the groundbreaking of Foxconn’s new China headquarters in Shanghai on May 10, Terry Gou, Foxconn’s Chief Executive Officer, made it very clear that he would neither confirm nor speculate about Foxconn’s involvement in the production of any product for any customer because Foxconn’s policy is not to comment on any customers or their products.
<br/>

<br/>
At no time did he confirm that Foxconn was in development or manufacturing stages for any product for any of its customers.  He did say that  Foxconn is always prepared to meet the manufacturing needs of customers should they determine that they wish to work with Foxconn in the production of any of their products.   Any reports that Foxconn confirmed that it is preparing to produce a specific product for any customer are not accurate.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/freedompop.png" alt="Freedompop" title="freedompop.png" width="238" height="76" class="alignright" />With the launch of the new iPad, equipped with 4G LTE cellular data, it seems likely that the next iPhone will be similarly supplied. Until then, a new startup called <a href="http://www.freedompop.com/">FreedomPop</a> is rolling out a <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120510/skype-co-founderss-freedompop-starts-taking-sign-ups-for-4g-iphone-sled/">new iPhone case/sled</a> that includes a Wi-Fi hotspot powered by the Clearwire 4G network.
<br/>

<br/>
FreedomPop, being backed by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom, is offering the &#36;99 device with 500MB of free data use each month, and should ship by the end of the summer. <em>All Things D</em> <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120510/skype-co-founderss-freedompop-starts-taking-sign-ups-for-4g-iphone-sled/">reports</a> that the company is hoping to act as an alternative to throttled data services provided by native carriers.
<br/>
<blockquote>"The timing couldn’t be better for our product," said FreedomPop VP of Product Mauricio Sastre in a statement. "Carriers are throttling data and increasing prices and users are desperate for affordable alternatives. As the mobile industry flexes its joint oligopolistic power, we want to ensure that we are keeping them honest."</blockquote><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/djQih2qz900?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>

The FreedomPop 4G iPhone Sleeve can be <a href="http://www.freedompop.com/preorder.htm">preordered from the company's website</a>.

		<title>Apple Tweaking More Icons, Upgrading to HiDPI Sizes in OS X 10.7.4</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple is continuing the process of preparing OS X Lion for Macs offering ultra high-resolution "HiDPI" screens, upgrading several application icons to higher resolutions in yesterday's public release of OS X 10.7.4.
<br/>

<br/>
<i>AppleInsider</i> <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/05/10/apples_latest_lion_update_continues_preparations_for_retina_display_macs.html">pointed to TextEdit</a> as one example, with Apple having upgraded its icon's previous maximum size of 512x512 under OS X 10.7.3 to 1024x1024 in OS X 10.7.4.  But the larger image 1024x1024 is also listed as measuring at 512x512 points, indicating that it is indeed being targeted for screens measuring at double the resolution of current displays in each dimension.
<br/>

<br/>
Under OS X 10.7.3, the TextEdit icon file included four different image sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 128x128, and 512x512.  With the move to OS X 10.7.4, the icon now comes in ten different sizes: 16x16, 32x32 HiDPI, 32x32, 64x64 HiDPI, 128x128, 256x256 HiDPI, 256x256, 512x512 HiDPI, 512x512, and 1024x1024 HiDPI.
<br/>

<br/>
TextEdit is not the only application to see an upgrade, however, as Automator has not only seen new HiDPI icons appear in OS X 10.7.4, but the icon itself has also undergone some tweaking.  In OS X 10.7.4, the Automator robot has taken on a somewhat darker tone, with the glossiness being toned down and the previously silver arms, legs, and pipe now appearing black.  The tweaked design had previously surfaced in developer previews of OS X Mountain Lion, but is now included in OS X Lion.
<br/>

<br/>
<center><img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/automator_icon_comparison.jpg">
<br/>
<i>Automator icon in OS X 10.7.3 (left) and OS X 10.7.4 (right)</i></center>
<br/>
Like TextEdit, Automator has seen an increase in the number of image sizes included in the icon file, although to a smaller extent.  Under OS X 10.7.3, the Automator icon included the same four basic sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 128x128, and 512x512. But under OS X 10.7.4, the new icon now comes in six different sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, and 1024x1024 HiDPI.
<br/>

<br/>
Retina-sized graphics have been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/23/hidpi-retina-images-mountain-lion-already-enabled-10-7/">appearing with increasing frequency</a> in both OS X Lion and developer previews of OS X Mountain Lion.  In line with those changes, Apple has been <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/14/apple-to-launch-2880x1800-resolution-retina-display-macbook-pro-in-q2-2012/">rumored</a> to be launching a Retina display 15-inch MacBook Pro in the near future, with a 2880x1800 display measuring in at twice the resolution of the current 1440x900 display in each dimension.
<br/>

<br/>
As with the move to Retina displays on Apple's iOS devices, content would appear at the same physical size on these new displays as on current displays, but with much sharper image quality for applications bundling resources supporting the HiDPI mode. Even applications that do not immediately update their resources to HiDPI quality should see improvements in sharpness, as Apple will undoubtedly include the same font scaling improvements used in iOS to automatically scale up text in applications to HiDPI resolution.
<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.imore.com/2012/05/10/7inch-ipad-mini-track-october-release-200-price-point/"><i>iMore</i> reports</a> that Apple is "currently targeting" an October launch for a smaller iPad, with the device carrying a display of roughly 7 inches and being priced in the &#36;200-&#36;250 range.<blockquote> According to our source, which has proven reliable in the past, the reason for such aggressive pricing is to do to the tablet market what Apple did to the MP3 market in 2004 with the expansion of the iPod product line -- leave absolutely no space for competitors.</blockquote>Interestingly, the report's source claims that the 7-inch iPad will be "identical in every way" to the current iPad with the exception of the display size, apparently including a Retina display.  That would give the smaller iPad a pixel density roughly identical to that of the iPhone 4S.
<br/>

<br/>
It remains unclear how Apple would be able to meet a &#36;200-&#36;250 price point for the smaller iPad given the apparent specs, although the device will reportedly come with only 8 GB of storage.  Still Apple's current iPod touch starts at &#36;199 and this smaller iPad will undoubtedly carry significantly higher component costs.
<br/>

<br/>
Reports of a smaller iPad have been circulating ever since the launch of the original iPad, enhanced in recent months by perceived competition from Amazon's &#36;199 Kindle Fire.  The sheer number of rumors suggest that Apple has at least been working on such a device, and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/16/apple-reportedly-looking-to-launch-ipad-mini-priced-at-249-299-in-q3/">reports of a planned launch</a> for later this year have been increasing.  Most observers have, however, believed that the device would carry a non-Retina display in order to allow Apple to meet lower pricing targets.
<br/>

<br/>
<i>iMore</i> has been rather accurate with its recent iOS device rumors, correctly pinpointing the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/13/ipad-3-announcement-on-march-7th-with-quad-core-and-4g-lte/">third-generation iPad launch event date</a> back in February and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/05/more-claims-of-4g-lte-compatibility-for-ipad-3/">backing claims of LTE compatibility</a> for the device ahead of its launch.
<br/>

<br/>
The site has since offered claims of a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/23/apple-readying-miniaturized-dock-connector-for-future-iphones/">smaller dock connector</a> for the next-generation iPhone, an idea which has been gaining traction with other rumors.  The site has also issued claims of a fall (likely October) launch of an <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/23/next-iphone-coming-fall-2012-with-lte-3-5-inch-screen/">LTE iPhone</a> anticipated to carry the same 3.5-inch display size seen in all iPhone models to date.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Etch A Sketch has been a cultural icon for more than 50 years. These days, the iPad has replaced the red tablet as the cultural icon, but a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ari-krupnik/etcher-etch-a-sketch-for-ipad">new Kickstarter project</a> aims to combine the two.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/05/etchasketch.jpg" alt="Etchasketch" title="etchasketch.jpg" width="560" height="373" class="aligncenter"/>
<br/>
The <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ari-krupnik/etcher-etch-a-sketch-for-ipad">Etcher</a> combines a red iPad case complete with sketching knobs and an app that completes the Etch A Sketch experience. They have even obtained a license from Ohio Art, the company that makes the real Etch A Sketch. Of course, it erases if you shake it.
<br/>
<blockquote>We are negotiating with a number of contract manufacturers. The most intriguing option is Ohio Art's invitation for us to use the same factory that manufactures the classic Etch A Sketch. Although it is more expensive than some the other options, we like the fact that they already know and understand Etch A Sketch. For instance, they know exactly what color red to use for the plastic--they simply use the same plastic they use in production!</blockquote><center><iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ari-krupnik/etcher-etch-a-sketch-for-ipad/widget/video.html" width="480px"></iframe></center>
<br/>
The team behind the Etcher is aiming to fulfill the first orders by the end of October and they plan to publish an open source SDK for accessing the Etcher's controls from within other iOS apps. 
<br/>

<br/>
The Etcher is <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ari-krupnik/etcher-etch-a-sketch-for-ipad">available for preorder</a> on Kickstarter for &#36;60, with free shipping within the United States.

But now another internal Apple video from the same timeframe is gaining some renewed attention for its inclusion of Jobs in another cameo appearance.  The video, entitled "Blue Busters", is a spoof of the movie "Ghostbuster" using a reworked version of the film's theme song.  And while edited clips of the video including an appearance by Steve Wozniak have been floating around for some time, <i>Network World</i> earlier this week <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/how-jobs-fdr-film-was-made-and-chaplin-cameo-wasnt?page=0,1">posted</a> an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpzKJ0e5TNc">uncut version of the video</a> which includes Jobs' brief appearances.

<br/>
Jobs' cameos appear at the 3:00 and 4:04 marks in the video, while Wozniak makes an appearance at 2:21.

<br/>
Apple's "1944" and "Blue Busters" videos demonstrate the company's commitment to taking on IBM in the corporate world, an effort that saw Apple making forays into printers and other peripherals in an attempt to gain a foothold with businesses.  But between expensive machines and a lack of software, Apple experienced only limited success despite some devoted fans of its innovations.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Following a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/05/07/apple-makes-settlement-offer-in-ipad-trademark-case-but-big-gap-remains/">claim</a> earlier this week that Apple had made its first settlement offer to Proview in the ongoing dispute over the "iPad" trademark in China, <a href="http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/05/10/apple-bid-16m-for-chinese-ipad-trademark-proview-lowers-asking-price-from-2b-to-63m-reports/"><i>The Next Web</i> now points</a> to a <a href="http://tech.sina.com.cn/it/2012-05-10/00267084908.shtml">report from <i>Sina.com</i></a> [<a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://tech.sina.com.cn/it/2012-05-10/00267084908.shtml&hl=en&langpair=auto%7Cen">Google translation</a>] claiming that Apple's offer amounted to 100 million yuan, equivalent to &#36;16 million.
<br/>

<br/>
<img src="http://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/02/proview_logo.jpg" alt="" title="proview_logo" width="336" height="110" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-336979" />
<br/>
That marks a substantial increase over the &#36;55,000 purchase price in the original deal between Proview's Taiwanese arm and a dummy corporation set by Apple to acquire the trademark in a number of countries.  Proview later claimed that the Chinese rights to the trademark were owned by its Chinese subsidiary and that the Taiwanese arm consequently could not have sold them to Apple.
<br/>

<br/>
Proview has been seeking as much as &#36;2 billion in its lawsuits against Apple over the trademark, but today's report notes that Proview has gone bankrupt with &#36;400 million owed to its creditors, speculating that that amount would be the minimum it the company would accept from Apple.  It seems extremely unlikely that Apple would increase its offer to that level, and so it remains to be seen how the talks and court case will play out.
