How Samsung is beating Apple in China

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 08:00 AM PDT

Reuters:

Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook believes that “over the arc of time” China is a huge opportunity for his pathbreaking company. But time looks to be on the side of rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, which has been around far longer and penetrated much deeper into the world’s most populous country.

Some great insights in this article where the authors break down how Samsung is outdoing Apple in China. In shorts, it all comes down to the different strategy Samsung adopted in China: multiple devices with low to high prices, creating “perceived innovation”, a large retail presence, and maintaining good relationships with carriers.(...)

iPhone 5 appsAs the summer heat reaches its full potential, we are left sweaty, exhausted, and ready for a nice, long weekend.

Morning: a dashboard for your iPad

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 05:00 AM PDT

Morning 1I love my iPad. I love watching movies, playing games, and reading magazines on it. I set it on my nightstand at night and display a clock with the sounds of the ocean in the background. I could sit and stare at my iPad all day. Sometimes I do.

Especially when I have an app like Morning. This app displays all of the important information that I need to know throughout the day in bright, bold colors on my iPad and it looks great…(...)

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 09:05 PM PDT

unthreaded jailbreak

Make sure you read that title very carefully before you get too excited. Yes, there’s a new jailbreak out, and yes, it’s untethered. But odds are, you’re not going to fit its compatibility requirements. It only works for CDMA versions of the iPhone 4, and the app only runs on Linux.

It’s called UnthreadedJB, and it’s developed by a group of people under the same name. To be fair, this is the first untethered jailbreak we’ve seen for iOS 5.1—I believe Absinthe 2.0 was for iOS 5.1.1—so it doesn’t come without acclaim. And several users have confirmed that it works…(...)
