TUAW has the most complete description yet of the new Mac mini widely rumored/expected to launch at Macworld. It'll be topped with iMac-esque black plastic instead of white, and have a lip like Time Capsule.
Ever since the Dev-Team kinda sorta promised that they would have a neatly packaged iPhone 3G unlock ready for release by the year's end, we've all been waiting on pins and needles, counting down the moments until freedom was in hand yet again.
A portion of the iPhone dev team has finally met up in person. At the 25th Chaos Communication Congress, team members Bushing, Pytey, Musclenerd, and Planetbeing, along with several unnamed Pwnapple-wearing Russian speakers, joined forces to give a one-hour presentation about jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhone. The video of this presentation, which is hosted at Google Videos is available for both watching and download (190 MB).
An iPhone and iPod case maker has added references to an "iPhone nano" to its website, presumably based on its own belief that Apple is about to unveiling a smaller version of its touchscreen handset.
You can catch the references over at the website of XSKN, the same company reportedly behind the iPhone nano casing that drew much attention last week when renderings of the supposed product were published by iDealsChina.
The iPhone Dev Team have released a demo video showing their iPhone3G software unlock aka 'yellowsn0w' in action. If you've been waiting for a baseband unlock for your iPhone, there's only a few more days to wait before yellowsn0w is released through Cydia :)
You can watch the video demo here.
Imagination Technologies has posted a series of job openings for OpenCL engineers, indicating that the open, general purpose GPU parallelism technology Apple spearheaded for use in Mac OS X Snow Leopard is destined to also play a significant role in boosting embedded graphics and video acceleration on the company's future handheld products.
Is it time for Apple's Mighty Mouse to get a tune-up?
That's the question many people on the Internet are asking as MacBlogz has published images of what it expects Apple to do with the multibutton mouse. Extrapolating from Apple's patents on multitouch, MacBlogz's prototype features a sleek profile and aluminum body.
Apple has acknowledged an issue encountered by some Leopard users trying to install the company's latest update released Monday.
In a support document posted to its site, Apple described an issue in which a Mac would hang on a "Configuring installation" window when trying to install Mac OS X 10.5.6. That was apparently the result of an incomplete update getting seeded into the Software Update process, and Mac OS X will freak out if it tries to install a partially downloaded update.
For the industrious types, obtaining an illegal copy of a “hacked” Mac OS X installation can be easily found. However, this violates the user agreement Apple has on it operating system, where the installation of said software on non-Apple systems is illegal. This has not stopped projects such as OSx86 from gaining ground and popularity. One such popular platform for hackers to install modified OS X onto is the netbook.
With its decision to end its relationship with the Macworld Expo, Apple is cutting one of its last ties to an era in which it wasn't a technology powerhouse. The shocking news that January's Macworld would be the last with Apple's participation--and that CEO Steve Jobs will not appear--reveals an Apple that has decided it no longer needs to make an appearance at the event that has come to define the company in recent years.
