| New suit from China takes aim at Siri Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:24 PM PDT
Just as Apple has finally settled its long-standing legal dispute in China over the iPad moniker for a cool $60 million, paving the way for the official tablet launch in the country, a new patent infringement claim has been filed. This one targets Apple’s Siri digital personal assistant. As it would seem, Siri might have taken more than a few clues from an interesting voice-activated technology a local firm patented back in 2006, months before the first iPhone had been unveiled. This development could potentially be devastating now that Apple is gearing up to launch the iPad in the country because the device will come preloaded with Siri as part of a fall iOS 6 software update…(...)

| How Steve Jobs really felt about carriers and why they’re still like Soviet ministries Posted: 05 Jul 2012 01:45 PM PDT
Before wrapping up his career-defining iPhone presentation on January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs invited Stan Sigman, then the CEO of Cingular Wireless, to join him on stage and announce a partnership that would send shockwaves of fear throughout the wireless industry. For the first time in history, a telecom would work in concert with a phone vendor to make a revolutionary phone possible without messing the user experience with junkware. Stigman even confessed publicly that he agreed to take on the iPhone without ever seeing it, “because of the confidence I have in Steve Jobs to deliver his vision”. Notwithstanding, a trained eye could tell the two men were worlds apart. One was an archaic executive stuck in the old days and the other a forward-thinking unconventional manager with uncanny ability to figure out what consumers wanted before they even knew it. Here’s a reminder of how Jobs really felt about carriers, the way they go about their business and how virtually nothing’s changed…(...)

| Rumor: next iPhone to feature quad-core processor Posted: 05 Jul 2012 01:18 PM PDT
The iPhone is widely expected to get a major upgrade this fall. Not only is the handset’s current form factor more than two years old, but the competition is really heating up with handsets like Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Some of the upcoming smartphone’s rumored features include a larger, 4-inch display, a redesigned casing, and LTE compatibility. But what about the processor? According to a new report, it’s going to be quad-core…(...) "Rumor: next iPhone to feature quad-core processor" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Malicious spam app discovered in the App Store [updated] Posted: 05 Jul 2012 11:41 AM PDT
Apple has had a fairly spotless record thus far regarding iOS security. There hasn’t been a single [serious] breach, or malware outbreak — aside from what jailbreak hackers have uncovered, of course. But it looks like the perfect streak has finally come to an end. A Russian security firm announced this morning that it has discovered a malicious spam [aka a Trojan] application in the App Store…(...)

| Witty Judge likens Apple’s war on Android to “constant struggle for survival” Posted: 05 Jul 2012 08:45 AM PDT
The U.S. Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner is known for his witty remarks in the courtroom. As in, he tossed the Apple-Motorola suit out of the window and told parties that they have to prove injury, adding “I'm sorry that it seems to be petering out like this”. And in announcing the dismal, he proclaimed that "no more can Apple be permitted to force a trial in Federal Court the sole outcome of which would be an award of $1". He’s back now with candid remarks regarding technology giants going after each other’s throat in the courtroom. He also opined that companies like Apple are acting as if they were in “constant struggle for survival”. And wait ’till you hear his take on the broken patent system…(...)

| How to jailbreak an iPhone with a broken Home button Posted: 05 Jul 2012 07:25 AM PDT
Although there have been methods in the past geared towards skirting around a broken Home button in order to jailbreak an iPhone, I don’t remember any of them being as easy as this. If your Home button is on the fritz, then chances are you have problems getting into DFU mode, which is a prerequisite to using most jailbreak software. Fortunately, the iPhone Dev Team has come up with a simple, yet ingenious method for easily pushing your device into DFU mode using their latest update to the RedSn0w jailbreak tool. RedSn0w 0.9.14b2 allows you to create a firmware file that will push your device into DFU mode once a normal restore through iTunes is completed. Check out our full tutorial inside for the step-by-step video walkthrough…(...) "How to jailbreak an iPhone with a broken Home button" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

Citing “two people with knowledge of the matter”, the publication claims that Apple chose AutoNavi, a Chinese maker of electronic navigation tools, to offer map services for “users of future iPhones and iPads in China” (what they meant is iOS 6-enabled devices)…(...)
