It is generally believed that Apple’s Macintosh computers are on track for a number of hardware upgrades. Nothing else new is expected from Apple, this time around. With the iPad hype reaching critical levels around the January 27 announcement, few rumors focused on the remainder of Apple’s product lineup, including the company’s desktop and portable computers, the iPods, accessories, etc. Recently, however, as tablet talks cooled down a bit, speculation began to... [read more >>] Apple seems to be quite offended by Android references in the App Store, but not by developers whose apps' descriptions clearly state that they compete with Safari, the company's web browser. One such application features a description that aims to steer customers clear of Safari, while Apple’s reviewers seem to have overlooked this “insignificant” aspect, Softpedia has found.

Available as a free download, PwnageTool is a Mac-only application that only jailbreaks (doesn’t unlock) iPhones, while Windows users have different tools to download and use. Folks owning hacked devices running iPhone firmware below 3.1.3 will be able to preserve their unlock by jailbreaking via PwnageTool, but not if the unlock has been performed using geohot’s blacksn0w hack tool, according to the Dev Team. “On Tuesday, Apple released fi...

First off, it’s my personal opinion, which means I can pretty much say the iPad looks like a Mexican dish, if that’s how it strikes me. Naturally, it doesn’t. I’m just trying to make a point.Second of all, I&... [read more >>] |
