John Sculley is the guy that in 1985 - together with the board of Apple Computer - decided to fire Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and visionary personality, was fired from his very own company.
Everybody knows the story: Steve later returned to Apple in 1997 after he founded NeXT, made a deal with Bill Gates’ Microsoft to bring Office to the Mac, started the development of Mac OS X.
So, a Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stand to arrive and decides to build his own. Pretty usual story. But this one is different. A Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stands, takes an old iBook case and builds an iPad stand out of it.

If you followed our WWDC keynote live coverage, or watched the keynote online yesterday, you should know that the white iPhone 4 was unveiled during the last part of the presentation.

Apple has announced the winners of this year’s Apple Design Awards (ADA), which unlike the past years are restricted to the iOS platform. We’ve talked about this before.

Gamer Hideyoshi Moriya managed to build a custom arcade cabinet for the iPad out of some cardboard, using an Arduino board to connect with joystick and buttons. It’s an amateur project, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this end up in some online store in the future.

Pulse is a promising news reading app for the iPad which we’ve reviewed a few weeks ago. It’s developed by two college students, and it’s become a major hit in the App Store selling more than 35.000 copies. And when Steve Jobs mentions you in a WWDC keynote, you know you must have done something good with your app.
