As a quick followup to Apple’s report posted earlier this morning, Apple is now looking to hire an ‘iTunes Fraud Prevention Specialist’ in Austin, Texas. Maybe those Internet security classes you took in college will finally pay off.
9 to 5 Mac reports,
This full time specialist would work to ‘cancel fraudulent orders’ and ‘research and resolve fraud escalations from various sources.’

When we broke news about various iTunes accounts being compromised, the Internet went a little crazy. Some of you commenters took time to tell us about your troubles, but luckly it was just a few of you and not all of you. If you were one of the 400 affected, Apple has basically come out and said you’ve been struck by lightning (0.0003% of iTunes users were affected). While they recognize the issue, they also say the App Store wasn’t hacked. Of the victims of this terrible scam, we hope you’ve worked everything out with your financial institution, and for those still on lockdown, you can safely add a credit card or other form of payment back into your account info.

A glass tower to rival the glass cube on Fifth Street, New York, Apple has unveiled their latest retail store in Shanghai, China.
The iPad comes with a great default browser, built on top of another great technology called Webkit. Safari for iPad makes browsing from a tablet feel good, and I haven’t find a single alternative in the App Store worth replacing Apple’s default app.
If there’s a webapp that showcases the great capabilities of Safari for iPad, that’s PadEdit.
In the process of completely overhauling the current MobileMe look & feel, last night Apple launched a new beta version of Calendar, which now looks very similar to the iPad counterpart.
I’m a hardcore sucker for the ol’ rainbow Apple logo, and a TUAW reader combined the best of both worlds when he had Gelaskins create the perfect iPhone 4 skin. Featuring both the retro Apple retro and a classy white design, it’s much easier to get that ‘custom’ white iPhone 4 look without having to tear your device apart in the meantime.
Apple won’t give you a free thirty dollar bumper to fix the iPhone 4’s reception issue, but cases.com has you covered. Just pay first class shipping ($3.73), and you can get a black, white, blue, purple, or pink case for free. We don’t particularly know the motive behind all of this – perhaps they’re just being good sports – but if you’re interested in the opportunity of an iPhone 4 time, check it out the deal here. A picture of the cases after the break. Let us know if you took advantage of the freebie in the comments!
We all know that the iPad is slowly becoming an essential part of our lives. We check emails with it, write, read, browse the web, organize photos and videos. We do things with it, not only geek stuff. Malaysia Airlines seems to think that the iPad is the must-have device for customers, too.
Because you’re nerd and nostalgic, and because it perfectly fits the Retina Display.
