Apple to Rebrand Mac OS X Under iOS?
iOS has come to unify Apple’s mobile space with a single name branding, but that could change to envelop the Mac OS X name-ology as Apple continues desktop development.

Steve Jobs on Wi-Fi Syncing, Macs, and iPhone 4 Scratches
Steve Jobs has been engaging his customers quite a bit lately, and we’ve got some rather interesting answers pertaining to the three most important topics people are concerned about.

A handicapped Mac user, Steve O’Hear from TechCrunch Europe, wrote in to ask Steve about the future of Mac. It was a personal and concerning email, with this end note, “It’s not that I can’t use the existing iPhone or iPad, just not as efficiently as everybody else, so I haven’t invested in either.” Steve replied, “We will keep making the best computers on the planet. We love it.”
Mike Rundle’s First Thoughts on iPhone 4
“Apps that haven’t been updated with 2x-resolution raster images look like shit; pixelated and blocky and clunky. I didn’t think I’d notice but I definitely do, it’s unmistakeable which ones aren’t optimized for the new screen.
Text rendered on the new screen looks foreign it’s so sharp. I’ve never seen Helvetica like this.
I bought a bumper, and before I put it on, it felt like the phone was incredibly droppable.
The screen is making my eyes buggy because it’s so sharp. I’ve never seen a screen with this type of pixel density and it’s so sharp it’s almost jarring, like my eyes aren’t used to it yet.”
Brief and insightful. Check out the full post here.
