Apple’s Latest Trademark Is A Giant Figurative iPhone
Write Your Own Apple Lawsuit
We’ve slowly gotten used to see a company suing Apple every day, and - honestly - that’s quite ridiculous. If you’ve ever wanted to jump on the lawsuit boat too, I’m excited to tell you that now there’s a template for that.
The guys over at Mac|Life have put together a PDF file with all the info you need to write your own hopeless lawsuit.
Apple Launches “Why You’ll Love a Mac” Campaign
Remember the great Get a Mac ads? It’s official now that we won’t see them anymore, at least not in the near future.
Apple has just updated its website redirecting all the previous Get a Mac links to a new page called “Why You’ll Love a Mac”, which highlights 5 of the major features of Mac OS X: Better Hardware, Better Software, Better OS, Better Support,It’s Compatible.
Very nice and informative. Check out the page over at Apple.com and take a look at a few screenshots after the break.
Phoenix Wright for iPhone Available Next Week
TouchArcade is reporting that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be available next week for $4.99 in the App Store. Phoenix Wright is a very popular console game from Capcom which went very well on the Nintendo DS before and, in fact, the iPhone version doesn’t seem to be anything more than a simple porting of that one.
For those of you not familiar with the concept:
“Phoenix Wright games are a strange mixture of a visual adventure game that play a lot like mixture of a hidden object game and a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. The game is segmented in to two portions, the investigation and the trial. While investigating, you visit various location and gather evidence by looking around and interviewing anyone who is around. When you’re finished with that, you go to court where you cross examine witnesses, present evidence, and object to the arguments presented by the prosecuting lawyer.”
Check out the first screenshots after the break.

White iPhone HD Rendered
A couple days ago we saw that Apple may decide to make the white iPhone’s faceplate white. While some disagree with the move, I think it’s spectacular. In fact, incredibly classy. At least, I came to my conclusion once I saw some renders that everythingicafe came across from iSpazio.
Jobs, Apple Unlikely to Embrace VP8
This afternoon’s bombshell other than Google TV? Apple, who claims to support “open technologies,” will not be embracing Google’s new VP8 video codec. Jobs, in response to an email, linked to a website that describes VP8 as slower than its H.264 counterpart. While Apple hasn’t officially commented on WebM and the open-sourceness of Google’s latest projects, I don’t think Apple would pursue it for a number of reasons. For one, Apple probably doesn’t want to sleep in the bed of the enemy, and two:
“With regard to patents, VP8 copies way too much from H.264 for anyone sane to be comfortable with it, no matter whose word is behind the claim of being patent-free…”
Be sure to check out The Register for more information. They provide lots of juicy tidbits on the matter, but knowing Apple, the user experience and protecting their relationships with media providers comes first.
Apple Starts Rolling Out International iBookstores
Italian blog iPadevice has found out that Apple has started rolling out the international iBookstores, which are slowly filling up with iBooks and books from Project Gutenberg. [Google Translation]
As you can see from the screenshots after the break there aren’t many books already, but the store is really filling up as we speak. Categories, banners and charts are live, but we still haven’t seen anything about prices. We’ll keep you posted about it.
Everything’s almost ready for the official launch.
A Sneak Peek at Twitterrific 3.0 for iPhone from the Iconfactory
We all love Twitterrific for iPad, right? It’s a beautiful app, with all the features that you need, yet it’s simple and user friendly. It turns out that after the launch of the iPad and the App Store grand opening, the Iconfactory (developers of the Twitterrific apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac) realized that Twitterrific for iPad was the iteration people liked most: the Mac version was stuck at somewhere between 2008 and 2009, and the iPhone version had become something they weren’t proud of. They wanted to rewrite the apps starting from the fresh and powerful new codebase of Twitterrific for iPad. And so they started working on Twitterrific 3.0 for iPhone and 4.0 for Mac.
