| The iPhone 5′s A6 processor can dynamically vary its clock speed for performance Posted: 27 Sep 2012 03:52 PM PDT
The A6 chip which debuted on the iPhone 5 earlier this month can do some pretty clever tricks, stemming from a heavily customized ARMv7 design. Benchmark data suggests that the A6 can dynamically overclock itself to up to 1.3GHz and downclock to just 500MHz, depending on workload. This is nothing new in chip design, of course (just ask Nvidia or Qualcomm). But given that Apple designs its chips in-house based on ARM and Imagination Technologies blueprints, it shows just how far along Cupertino is versus companies that use off-the-shelf chips which are not as power or performance-efficient as the A6…(...)

| Ahead of tomorrow’s launch, some global carriers stop taking iPhone 5 pre-orders Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:43 PM PDT
With less than 24 hours until the second phase of global iPhone roll-out, some carriers have stopped taking pre-orders for the device due to low supply. Over in Slovakia, carriers Slovak Telekom and Orange Slovakia stopped taking pre-orders amid widespread supply constraints, reports The Wall Street Journal. Furthermore, I’ve just checked with the nine global Apple Stores that currently sell the iPhone 5 and nearly all of them still quote 2-3 week delivery estimate, suggesting that Apple is selling iPhones as fast as it can make them. Folks around the world are obviously getting fed up with the iPhone…(...) "Ahead of tomorrow’s launch, some global carriers stop taking iPhone 5 pre-orders" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| iOS 6 can pull someone’s full name and Facebook photo based on a phone number alone Posted: 27 Sep 2012 02:12 PM PDT
I'm risking of stating the obvious with this one, but I'd bet my shirt many of your were unaware of this little trick. As you know, Facebook integration in iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion can automagically update photos and user names for all matching contacts. What you may not have known is that Apple only needs a person's phone number to pull this data. So if a girl you met at a bar last night left you just her phone number, you can easily get her Facebook profile picture to appear on your iPhone when she happens to call you – even if you're not friends with her on Facebook and even if her profile is hidden on Facebook. Plus, you’ll get her full name in Contacts. How cool is that?(...) "iOS 6 can pull someone’s full name and Facebook photo based on a phone number alone" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| AntiTint removes the status bar tint in iOS 6 Posted: 27 Sep 2012 01:55 PM PDT
AntiTint is a recently released jailbreak tweak from Ryan Petrich that sets out to do one thing — remove the status bar tint found in iOS 6. New with iOS 6 came the ability for a developer to tint the status bar to match or accent the color of the rest of their app. Many people have found this to be annoying, and would like to go back to the black status bars predominately featured in iOS versions prior to iOS 6. If you’re jailbroken, then doing so is as easy as installing this tweak. Take a look inside to see how it works…(...)

| Google’s iLost ad uses a phony street address to exaggerate Apple Maps flaws Posted: 27 Sep 2012 01:37 PM PDT
Remember an ad Google’s subsidiary Motorola recently published to highlight Apple Maps flaws? “Looking for 315 E 15th in Manhattan?”, Google’s advertisement read. “Google Maps on Droid Razr M will get you there & not #iLost in Brooklyn”, it went on to suggest that iOS 6 Maps will direct users to a wrong road name in the wrong city. Well, guess what? That address doesn’t even exist! That’s right, 315 E 15th Street is not an actual address in Manhattan. This whole maps thing is really getting blown out of proportion. Why would Google fake an ad and make folks search for an incorrect, ambiguous street address other than make Apple Maps look bad. Apple of course also isn’t one to shy away from deceptive advertising. Remember this?(...)

| New app from Google hitting iOS soon: Field Trip Posted: 27 Sep 2012 11:19 AM PDT
So much about distancing from Apple.

It pops up a nice card when you get close to something interesting and will even read the info to you if you have a headset or Bluetooth connected. Best thing you check it out in a video I’ve included right below…(...) "New app from Google hitting iOS soon: Field Trip" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.
