SlideSB places a brightness slider on the iPhone’s Home screen

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 06:31 PM PDT

SlideSB is a new jailbreak tweak that places a brightness adjustment slider on each page of your Home screen. This allows you to quickly adjust the screen brightness, instead of going about more traditional means of doing so.

Although SlideSB is an extremely simple tweak, it stumbles a bit in execution. Take a look at our video walkthrough inside for the details…(...)

Powerleft shows how much usage time remains on the iPad’s battery

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 06:07 PM PDT

The usage time remaining statistic is something we all tend to take for granted on our laptops, but it’s not something we’re accustomed to having on our tablets; at least iOS tablets, that is.

Powerleft is a jailbreak tweak that aims to fix this oversight, adding a usage remaining indicator conveniently in the iPad’s status bar. Now you’ll be better equipped to know if you can sit through that 3 hour movie, without reaching for the charging cable.(...)

Imagine being able to take a picture on your iPhone, and then quickly turn it into a Polaroid picture without having to connect the handset to a printer. Now stop imagining. Such a product exists. Well, sort of.

Introducing the new Impossible Instant Lab, a new Kickstarter project. It’s essentially a printer that can grab pictures from an iPhone and then quickly turn them into real photos. You have to see it to believe it…(...)

How to add a keyboard shortcut to any Mac app menu command

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 05:38 PM PDT

Don’t you just hate it when one of your favorite Mac apps is missing an obvious keyboard shortcut for an often used menu command? I recently ran into that issue with Pixelmator.

I made the switch to Pixelmator, because it is one of the few decent image editing apps that features support for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Normally I’m a CS5 user, but since Adobe’s suite lacks Retina support, I felt compelled to make the switch.

Although I don’t find Pixelmator to be as intuitive as Photoshop, making the switch hasn’t been all that bad. It’s snappy, features a bevy of options, and best of all, it looks gorgeous on the Retina Display. If I had to pick a flaw, I’d say that one of the most glaring miscues is the lack of a dedicated keyboard shortcut for exporting your work. Fortunately that can be remedied with a quick trip to System Preferences…(...)

Apple and HTC in ongoing settlement talks over patent dispute

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 04:20 PM PDT

In December of last year, Apple won an ITC case against HTC. The International Trade Commission ruled that HTC’s Android products infringed on Apple’s ’647 patent on “analyzing and linking data structures,” and banned many of them from the US.

Though HTC has since developed a workaround, Apple brought its complaint back to the ITC this summer. But at least this time they’re willing to talk about it. A new report says the two sides are in ongoing settlement talks regarding the dispute…(...)

Twitter enables web uploads on mobile site from iOS 6 and Android ICS devices

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 12:49 PM PDT

One of the cool enhancements in iOS 6 Safari is its broader support for standard HTML elements, including a regular HTML input element used on literally all sites requiring media uploading capability.

This support for media uploads lets Safari understand the standard Upload button that invokes a file picker on your desktop and replace it with standard iOS media picker.

Up until now, you could only test this on certain web sites, like the desktop Facebook interface in mobile Safari. Today, Twitter enabled on its mobile site photo uploads from a browser on iOS 6 and Android Ice Cream Sandwich devices, here’s how it works…(...)

This Amazon vs. Apple chart says it all

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 11:48 AM PDT

We love the new Kindle lineup of e-readers and tablets, especially the brand new Kindle with Paperdisplay and the super-charged Kindle Fire HD. At last week’s unveiling, the CEO Jeff Bezos underscored that Amazon wants to make money when people use their devices.

That’s why all Kindle devices display ads on the lock screen (don’t worry, you can opt-out for fifteen bucks). And just like Google, Amazon is selling hardware below cost, hoping to recoup losses through content sales on Amazon.com. The only problem with this strategy: Amazon’s profitability doesn’t even close to Apple’s….(...)

Samsung re-iterates plans to sue Apple over 4G LTE in the iPhone 5

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 11:06 AM PDT

The world’s leading cell phone and smartphone maker wasn’t kidding when it promised to sue Apple as soon as the iPhone 5 comes out over an alleged breach of its wireless patents related to the fourth-generation Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio technology.

This morning, unnamed Samsung executives told a Samsung-friendly publication that the Galaxy maker will target Apple’s key markets in Europe and even the U.S., Apple’s home-turf. With Apple struggling to invalidate HTC’s two LTE-related patents in another suit, perhaps Samsung has a shot at disrupting the iPhone 5 launch?(...)
