| pod2g at JailbreakCon: there is no iOS 6 jailbreak Posted: 29 Sep 2012 03:08 PM PDT
iOS hacker extraordinaire, and my new friend since this week, pod2g just took the stage at JailbreakCon. After going over who he is and his hacking CV, pod2g went on to explain how he came up with Absinthe, his iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak. But the question that was on everybody’s mind was “when are you coming up with an iOS 6 jailbreak”…(...) "pod2g at JailbreakCon: there is no iOS 6 jailbreak" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Facebook Messenger refreshed with chat bubbles, iPhone 5 support, Favorites Posted: 29 Sep 2012 10:35 AM PDT
Facebook’s standalone chat client called Messenger has been updated yesterday to version 2.0. In addition to bug fixes and support for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5‘s taller four-inch display (so you can see more messages with less scrolling), the app comes with the handy new Favorites feature and the interface has been tweaked around chat bubbles. I also weigh in on why you’ll want to keep the chat app and the full-blown Facebook client both running on your device…(...)

| Merge is a brilliant jailbreak tweak that combines messages by contact instead of by address Posted: 29 Sep 2012 10:34 AM PDT
The idea of iMessage is great. It allows you to easily chat with friends and family across all iOS devices and Macs without incurring SMS fees from carriers. Though iMessage is extremely convenient, it does have plenty of opportunities for improvement, which isn’t surprising, considering it’s only been out for a little over a year. But Apple has been steadily making improvements, for instance, the latest update to OS X, allows Mac users to sync iMessages sent and received from phone numbers. Another major issue that iMessage runs into is organization. For example, if you’re chatting with a friend that has three separate iMessage ID’s, each chat started with each individual ID will result in a new iMessage thread for that contact. That’s a total of three threads, just to talk to a single contact. This, obviously, can become extremely disconcerting when trying to carry on a conversation. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could easily combine messages by contact, instead of iMessage ID? That’s the exact premise behind Merge — a new jailbreak tweak from developers Joshua Tucker, and Andrew Richardson. Take a look inside as we explain how Merge works…(...)

| 3% of Apple’s supply chain workers still putting 60+ hour weeks into someone else’s dream Posted: 29 Sep 2012 09:56 AM PDT
Determined to prove the world it’s doing the right thing to prevent labor abuses in its supply chain, Apple has quietly updated the Labor and Human Rights web page with some interesting data points. The company’s suppliers in August employed 60 percent more workers than in January of this year. Three percent of supply chain workforce was putting more than 60 hours a week into assembling Apple products, data suggests. Ending the industry practice of excessive overtime “is a top priority”, Apple writes. It’s easier said than done considering the unemployment rate of China's youth of 7.6 percent in 2012 and Foxconn’s reputation for shoddy working conditions and army style discipline in its sweatshops…(...)

| When Apple was designing the original iPhone, Maps was an afterthought Posted: 29 Sep 2012 08:16 AM PDT
Piggy-backing on the ongoing Apple Maps drama, The New York Times gives us a couple interesting tidbits that help explain the origins of Google Maps on the iPhone. For starters, Apple never intended to put maps on the iPhone. It was a decision late CEO Steve Jobs made last minute, one that would cost Apple its reputation five years later as Apple rushed its own solution out of the door too early. In a way, the report notes, Apple Maps continue on a string of Internet services missteps, with notable examples of the recently axed Ping social network for music, Siri, a controversial digital assistant, the MobileMe suite of web tools and recent iCloud outages. These blunders expose Apple as a hardware and design-focused culture, which is more often than not a difficult match for online services on a world scale, where Google rules the landscape by a wide margin…(...)

| Watch the JailbreakCon event live Posted: 29 Sep 2012 07:50 AM PDT
For those of you who won’t be able to make it to JailbreakCon in San Francisco this year, you won’t have to feel left behind as the event is being streamed live. I was able to experience first hand that the wifi situation at the venue isn’t very ideal so you might have to deal with some lagging and images freezing, but we can all agree that it’s better than nothing. The event will start streaming here starting at 9am sharp… (...) "Watch the JailbreakCon event live" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Apple removes superlatives from Maps description Posted: 29 Sep 2012 07:11 AM PDT
Apple appears to be really determined to avoid having this Maps thing snowball into a devastating PR catastrophe which, by the way, already has tarnished Apple’s reputation. Following yesterday’s unexpected CEO apology and the subsequent recommendation of mapping services on the web as well as third-party Maps alternatives, Apple has made a subtle change in Maps wording. No longer are Apple Maps being referred to as “the most beautiful, powerful mapping service ever”. Instead, the app’s now about “a beautiful vector-based interface that scales and zooms with ease”…(...) "Apple removes superlatives from Maps description" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Another mini iPad mockup, pictured next to a 15-inch MacBook Pro Posted: 29 Sep 2012 06:53 AM PDT
There has been an unusual shortage of rumors about a mini iPad, especially given a recent reliable assertion calling for an October launch. Macotakara, a Japanese blog with a fairly accurate track record, has gotten hold of another mockup of the iPad mini, molded according to the rumor-mill and pictured sitting next to a 15-inch MacBook Pro, giving us a feel of its size relative to Apple’s notebook…(...)
