| Starbucks app now supports Passbook: get your skinny vanilla latte orders ready Posted: 03 Oct 2012 06:17 PM PDT
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The real reason Passbook was invented — Starbucks. Indeed, the official Starbucks app was just updated, and it brings the long awaited Passbook support with it. This means that you can now create a pass to store in Passbook, and pay directly with said pass. It’s super easy to setup, and apparently, it uses the same scanners that scan the “touch to pay” feature inside the official app. In other words, it’s ready to use out of the gate.(...)

| Elevation Dock hacked to support new Lightning connector Posted: 03 Oct 2012 04:50 PM PDT
Since the iPhone 5 launched two weeks ago with its new Lightning port, accessories have been extremely scarce. Lightning to USB cables alone have been hard to find, never mind docks and other add-ons. Thus, we imagine we’ll be seeing a slew of do-it-yourself solutions pop up over the next few months. In fact, one has already surfaced involving an Elevation Dock, some hacking and a Lightning USB cable…(...)

| Infographic shows true cost of an iPhone 5 Posted: 03 Oct 2012 03:18 PM PDT
Like its predecessor, the iPhone 5 starts at $650 here in the US. That’s the full retail cost for the entry-level 16GB model, which is pretty expensive by most standards. Luckily, many carriers will pay for $450 of that, knocking the price down to $199, if you’re willing to sign a two year contract with them. How can they afford to do that? Oh don’t worry, they make their money back and then some…(...) "Infographic shows true cost of an iPhone 5" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Watch rapper MGK destroy PCs at a Microsoft store Posted: 03 Oct 2012 03:04 PM PDT Adamant to lure folks to its retail stores, Microsoft loves to hire famous recording artist to perform for its customers. For example, Flo Rida, The Black Keys, Justin Bieber and Lenny Kravitz all played for Microsoft Stores in the past. But something clearly went wrong with this one. Much to the bewilderment of store staffers, young rapper Machine Gun Kelly a.k.a. MGK (not to be confused with an American gangster during the Prohibition era) at one point jumped on the floor displays to do his act. He bugged out terribly, destroying several notebook PCs in the process until staffers abruptly cut his mic. I guess MGK won’t be performing for Microsoft in the foreseeable future…(...)

| Apple seeking silicon wizards as it preps to fully customize A7 chip for 2013 iOS devices Posted: 03 Oct 2012 01:51 PM PDT
Speedier, smaller and even more power-efficient mobile chip designs are already in the works for future iOS devices so it comes as little surprise that Apple remains on a hiring spree, seeking talented semiconductor experts left and right. As you know, Apple’s current system-on-a-chip (SoC) modules found inside iPhones, iPods and iPads typically pack in several processing and graphic cores, in addition to the memory controller, RAM and the essential control logic – all onto a single piece of silicon die. A new job posting reveals Apple is looking for an “SoC Modelling Architect / Lead” who will be tasked with managing its in-house team which designs next-generation processors for iOS devices…(...)

| Microlatch developing fingerprint tech for Apple to use in NFC apps Posted: 03 Oct 2012 12:38 PM PDT
There has been a whole lot of hoopla concerning Apple deploying NFC technology on iOS devices, especially prior to the iPhone 5‘s release last month. NFC, or Near-Field Communication, facilitates close-proximity wireless payments on mobile devices. Marketing boss Phil Schiller explained Apple passed on NFC with this year’s iOS devices lineup because “Passbook does the kinds of things customers need today”, noting that “it's not clear that NFC is the solution to any current problem”. In the reality, Apple is working behind the scenes, taking its time to put the pieces of the NFC puzzle together until an NFC-equipped iPhone and the associated service is fully baked and ready for public consumption. It doesn’t come as a surprise then that Apple is working with Sydney-based Microlatch to develop fingerprint technology for NFC apps…(...)

| Major Exchange bug spotted in iOS 6 Posted: 03 Oct 2012 12:37 PM PDT
Since its release two weeks ago, Apple has taken an enormous amount of criticism over iOS 6. The bulk of the heat has come over the new, so-called inferior Maps application, but there have also been complaints of Wi-Fi and App Store issues. In fact, according to a new report today, some major companies are urging their employees not to update their iOS devices to the new firmware. But it’s not because of Maps or Wi-Fi problems. It has to do with a major Exchange bug…(...) "Major Exchange bug spotted in iOS 6" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| T-Mobile and MetroPCS to grab Sprint’s prepaid market share Posted: 03 Oct 2012 12:21 PM PDT
Until today, when the two carriers announced they’d merge, T-Mobile was known as the carrier without an iPhone and was left at the altar after a marriage to AT&T was derailed by federal regulatory concerns. As for Metro-PCS, it was a regional carrier barely on anyone’s radar. Now, however, the combined companies (if the merger is approved) will boast 43 million subscribers, closing in on Sprint’s 56 million…(...)
