High quality photos received through "special channels" by a Chinese publication allegedly show that the next generation iPad will sport a larger rear-facing camera than the current iPad 2, and will use a slightly redesigned case than previous models.
The purported "iPad 3" photos clearly show (machine translation) the the rear-facing camera is larger than the iPad 2's, and the Taiwanese publication Apple Daily that published the pictures on Saturday claims that the change was made to accommodate an 8 megapixel sensor.
Apple will announce the launch of the iPad 3 on March 7, and the new tablet computer is expected to support 4G LTE high-speed mobile services, according to reports.
The iMore website reports sources which have "proved reliable in the past" as confirming the date of the official announcement of the third iteration of the iPad at Apple's Cupertino base in California.
Mac OS X users are familiar with warnings like the one shown here. Apple's "quarantine" has been in place for awhile, and it offers some minimal protection against accidentally opening files which have been downloaded from the Internet.
What most Mac OS X users probably don't know is that Mac OS X keeps a log of all files downloaded. Files are added to that log even if you are using "private" browsing in Safari or "incognito" in Google Chrome, and the log does not appear to ever be cleared.
Earlier this week, The Global Mail called attention (via CNet) to an Apple Support Community thread with more than 70 pages of responses dating as far back as Nov. 2010.
According to the thread and others like it, numerous iTunes customers were victims of fraudulent app purchases that drained gift card credits from their accounts. Others reported charges to their PayPal or credit card accounts and changes to their account information.
The FBI today released a background check it did on Apple's founder Steve Jobs when he was being considered for a position on the President's Export Council under George H.W. Bush in 1991.
The 191-page document, released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), includes documents related to a 1985 investigation of a bomb threat against Apple and a host of other observations, many of them not surprising -- he was driven, strong-willed -- and some not so flattering -- he could twist the truth.
Dozens of protesters around the world gathered Thursday at Apple stores to call attention to reports of poor conditions in its supply chain factories in China. Demonstrators delivered two online petitions with a combined 250,000 signatures to Apple employees at stores in Washington, D.C, New York, San Francisco, London, Sydney and Bangalore.
As expected, about a dozen people showed up to demonstrate outside the Georgetown Apple store. They were — as my Post colleague Katie Rogers noted — outnumbered by reporters.
iPhones that have been password-protected and have voice dialing deactivated can still make FaceTime video calls, as well as disclose basic information about a person's list of contacts.
The security loophole, which is present in the latest version of Apple's iOS 5.0.1 software, was discovered earlier this week by Canadian tech writer Ade Barkah, who posted details about it on his blog. CNET confirmed it working on three different iPhones, including the iPhone 4 and 4S.
