The next Apple product?

Posted by bordalix Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:19:00 GMT

It's a rumor, so treat it like that, a rumor. MacDailyNews reports the next Apple cutting edge product will be what someone called the MacBook Touch:

Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion's haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at "low" price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.

I was wondering what would be Apple's 2008 breakthrough product. Guess I found it. I recall to see some photos of this, but I lost them, do someone knows where to find some mockups of the possible MacBook Touch?

A tale about security

Posted by bordalix Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:23:00 GMT

Once open a time, a company which had a lot of people using his digital media player, pushed people to use his browser through an 'almost automatic' software update. People complained about this behaviour, others defend it, and there was what someone called a nano-scandal, and a lot of people installed the new browser.

And then there were the bad guys (cause a tale has always bad guys), who found a way to break into someone's computer through a bug in the referenced browser. So, the company was/his installing a lock into a lot of personal computers, and someone has just found the master key.

Bad timing? Bad luck? Or karma?

Safari 3.1 Gmail problem

Posted by bordalix Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:10:00 GMT

If you upgraded your Safari to the new 3.1 version, use Gmail, and now your Shift or Tab keys are making your cursor jumping back to the To: field, here is the solution: change your default language to English (US); click on "Newer version" on the top right of the screen - only English (US) version has this option enabled; you are done, Gmail should be working perfectly now.

I guess people at Cupertino doesn't use Gmail...

Update: the same problem happens with Gmail for Google Apps, and I don't know how to solve it. Need a hand.

Apple, please open the iPhone

Posted by bordalix Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:25:00 GMT

Dear Steve, you should sell the iPhones as you sell your computers: like an open plataform where anyone can install whatever application they want, with full responsability and without your paternal control.

This way, you will sell millions of iPhones worldwide, and will be doing what you do best: selling state-of-the-art hardware running a gorgeous, user friendly operating system.

Trying to gain from the mobile operators is buying a war you don't want (or need) to. Trying to gain from the developers community by restricting the free flow of creativity is wrong, and against the values of the Apple brand.

So, please, don't be greedy, change your mind, or they will force you.

iPhone unlock in 3 minutes

Posted by bordalix Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:01:00 GMT

Finally, on the 8th of February, George Hotz (please donate) cracked the protection scheme used in the iPhone. In a matter of hours, a lot if scripts and applications arose in order to facilitate the job to the average joe.

Yesterday, a new tool hit the radar, and is now possible to unlock, jailbreak and activate iPhones 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB in less than 3 minutes. So, if you are one in the million that have a locked iPhone, grab the ZiPhoneGUI tool (available only for windows) and happy cracking.

Macworld 2008 keynote in 60 seconds

Posted by bordalix Thu, 17 Jan 2008 10:23:00 GMT

Due to a heavy lack of time, I was not able to watch this year Macworld keynote. But that's ok, since Mahalo has done a great job trimming the 90 minutes Steve Jobs' keynote to a 60 second video.

Unlocked iPhones for all

Posted by bordalix Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:48:00 GMT

Via the International Herald Tribune, Apple choose Orange to be the exclusive seller of iPhones in France. So, what's new?

Due to French law prohibiting the forced bundling of mobile devices with a specific carrier, Apple and Orange will be required to sell an unlocked version of the iPhone.

So, my iPhone will be available in France starting next November, starting at €399, plus Orange contract and flight price. Can't wait.

Apple.com easter egg

Posted by bordalix Tue, 16 Oct 2007 15:13:00 GMT

Guess what you get if you write "virus" in the Apple website search box... One single result... If you thought Windows, you are right.

Update: Don't click the search button, neither press the Return/Enter key! Just write "virus" (without the commas) and wait.
