And tonight, two new iPhone 5 commercials began airing on television: ‘Turkey’ and ‘Orchestra.’ As always, we have both of the spots for you after the break…(...)

| iMessage bug reportedly fixed in iOS 6 Posted: 20 Nov 2012 04:59 PM PST
Late last year, news broke of a serious iMessage bug that enabled iOS devices to continue to send and receive messages, even after being remotely wiped and having their SIM cards deactivated. It was particularly dangerous for folks whose devices were stolen, or the like. But never fear, a new report says that the bug has been repaired in iOS 6. According to a source with knowledge of the matter, Apple has taken steps to eradicate the problem in its mobile software…(...)

| Netatmo’s Urban Weather Station is for the weather guru Posted: 20 Nov 2012 02:11 PM PST
I love the weather. No real reason in particular, but fascination started as a young child when I would rush home from school to track Hurricanes on the Weather Channel, despite living nowhere near the coast. When I first read about the first iOS specific Netatmo Urban Weather Station a month back, I was fascinated with the ability to monitor the temperature, both in and outside my house. A weather nerd at heart, I think this is an awesome piece of hardware. To the weather novice, it is still a great addition for your connected home. Below, we take a look at the personal weather station that just received CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Award honoree in three categories…(...)

| Spooky Apple patent logs everything you do in iOS Posted: 20 Nov 2012 01:24 PM PST
Remember iPhone location tracking? That was child’s play. Should Apple have its way, future versions of its iOS mobile operating system might record every event you ever perform on your iPhone, iPod or iPad, creating a uniquely detailed footprint of your interactions with iOS devices. It would make geotagging a system-wide feature. Every gesture invoked and input event registered could get timestamped and stored. Every phone call, every keystroke, every tweet, like, comment, game achievement, song played, you name it - basically any set of device data might get logged automatically. But don’t get all worked up about the privacy implications: good ol’ Apple isn’t up to nefarious intents. Matter of fact, the goal with this invention is a noble one: provide a searchable, actionable lifestream of sorts to make your mobile computing easier, more meaningful and tailored for you. So how does the Cupertino firm plan to pull it off? Simple: by way of using a journaling file system that’s already present in OS X…(...)

| Kids want an iPad for Christmas – and nothing else Posted: 20 Nov 2012 11:58 AM PST
Listen up, parents. Your kids want an iPad. Don’t be swayed by the Microsoft Surface commercials or the Nintendo Wii U chatter.

According to Nielsen Wire, the top four out of five most-wanted gifts for children and teens bear an Apple logo. Even more intriguing are the changes in what Apple products are wanted this holiday season versus last year. If anything, the trend can be summed-up in one word: tablet…(...)

| Gartner predicts Lenovo will become China’s #1 smartphone brand in 2013 Posted: 20 Nov 2012 10:56 AM PST
China is fast becoming a key market for Apple and other smartphone makers looking to cash-in on the nation’s enormous population. However, the top player in 2013 could come from closer to home. Lenovo is expected to become China’s leading smartphone brand next year, up from its current #2 slot, one research firm announced Tuesday. According to Gartner, Lenovo’s share of the smartphone market rose to 14.8 percent in the third quarter of this year, a dramatic increase from a year ago, when the company held just 1.7 percent of the market. That puts its Android-powered LePhone within striking distance of Samsung, which is the leading smartphone maker in China with 16.7 percent of the market. What advantages does Lenovo have? Name-recognition and reasonable pricing, the latter being of the utmost importance in China…(...)

| Munster: Apple to kick off 2013 with iTV (and other wild predictions) Posted: 20 Nov 2012 09:39 AM PST
Like the left-over turkey that just won’t disappear from the fridge, talk of a full-blown, Apple-branded HD television set – the mythical iTV – lingers on in the minds of Wall Street seers. The product could carry a price of $1,500 and $2,000 and be introduced in time for Christmas 2013, one analyst forecast Tuesday. The shiny television product launch would highlight a long list of new products for Apple fans of all stripes. Although Apple’s goal of offering à la carte TV programming is viewed as “unlikely,” some of the features made popular on the iPhone and iPad could be headed to a big-screen TV set spanning between 42 and 55 inches, according to perhaps the most vocal iTV proponent out there, Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray…(...)
