This is a story that gets old real quick. A news journalist hears the feds are out to investigate Apple because they’re bullying the music industry. The story gets posted and the media goes crazy with it. We hear rumors of an investigation with no real action.
In the meantime Apple changes their developer agreement and has some fun blocking AdMob. The feds get interested again (this time in advertising), and thus starts another lifeless cycle. “Lifeless,” being the keyword here.
It’s a safe bet Firefox won’t be getting any awards soon (Mozilla needs to pick up their game), which leaves Google Chrome and Safari to duke it out for a good ol’ fashioned HTML5 performance test. The race was close, but Apple’s Safari 5 now leads over Google Chrome 5. But just barely.
Newsweek’s Dan Lyons (also known as Fake Steve Jobs) published an article on Tuesday called “RIP, Macintosh” where he explained how Steve Jobs is now focused on mobile devices and the desktop era is over. It turns out that Steve Jobs thinks Lyons is completely wrong.
One of the most exciting features of the iPhone 4 is the Retina Display, which at 326 ppi exceeds the limits of human’s retina, thus making it impossible to see pixels on screen.
Raymond Soneira, president of DisplayMate Technologies (Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Princeton, displays expert) told Wired that Steve pushed it too far. The Retina Display is a misleading marketing term, he says.
The iPhone 4 glass is the result of years of engineering and Apple told us that it’s way better than the previous iPhone’s glass. It’s more robust, and they even proved on video that bending it doesn’t break it. But what about a sudden impact?
You might have noticed that Scott Forstall said that the new iPhone 4 is all about connecting people. Of course that didn’t go well with Nokia, which is considering a trademark dispute with Apple.
So there’s this couple that’s always dreamed to have a wedding ceremony with vows read off of an iPad and iPhones to update Twitter and Facebook status. And so they did. If they’re happy, we’re happy - and we even have the video after the break.
Cheers.

Steve Jobs said that 95% of applications are approved in the App Store within 7 days, and the 5% is made of crashy apps, apps that don’t work as advertised and developers who keep using private APIs in their software. Then, there are developers who submit working apps and don’t get a single word from Apple for months. It’s a limbo, a quite undocumented zone which Apple hasn’t clarified, yet it exists and, according to many devs, it’s the worst place you can find yourself in. What’s going on with Reeder for iPad, for instance?
The iPad has practically exploded with lots of great drawing applications. We can sketch, we can illustrate, and we can paint our expressions across a glass canvas. iDraw for iPad gives you some well rounded functionality for sketchers and illustrators alike. Featuring the pencil, bezier pen, shapes, layers, gradients, and text tools, iDraw makes it easy to anyone to reveal their inner photoshop.
