Apple Introduces Tiny, Talking Shuffle

Apple has introduced the all-new iPod shuffle, that is nearly half of the size of the previous model, and the first music player that talks. The 4GB player will be available in India in 4 weeks for a maximum retail price of Rs. 4,900 through Apple Authorised Resellers.



The new VoiceOver feature enables the iPod shuffle to speak song titles, artists and playlist names. This third generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs and is easier to use with all of the controls located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, users can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist.



The iPod shuffle comes in silver or black and features a new aluminum design with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable.
"Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, artists and playlist names," said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone Product Marketing. "The amazingly small new iPod shuffle takes a revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists."
The iPod shuffle can tell also tell users status information, such as battery life and can speak 14 languages including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
iPod shuffle comes with the Apple Earphones with Remote and the iPod shuffle USB cable.

Apple helps Microsoft get Windows 7 right

“When you strike at a king, you must kill him,” said the great Transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Apple, in toying with but not killing Microsoft in enterprise computing, has unwittingly granted its rival a new lease on life with Windows 7.

At least, that’s the position Likewise CEO Barry Crist is taking in a recent blog post. In some ways, Crist depends upon neither Apple nor Microsoft killing off the other, as his company makes audit and authentication solutions that span different operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows, Unix, and Linux.

The company also makes awesome T-shirts, as shown at right. The T-shirts highlight the importance of technology that enables heterogeneous operating system environments. Homogeneity is boring and, frankly, impractical. That’s where Likewise comes in.

It’s also where Apple failed in missing, intentionally or not, the Microsoft jugular, and in giving Microsoft a good model from which to copy a modern operating system, as Crist explains:

Apple significantly helped Microsoft “get it right” with Windows 7. Our technical team has looked at the Windows 7 beta. This is a team that doesn’t throw out idle praise and certainly doesn’t pull any punches when reviewing Microsoft technology. To say that the early returns from our team on Windows 7 are positive would be an understatement. Microsoft appears to have delivered. And the timing for Microsoft could not be better.

I doubt Apple has much appetite for the enterprise. Not yet, anyway. It’s still too much of a boutique brand, albeit one that I love and which is catching the interest of an increasing array of enterprises. Yes, Microsoft has its issues, including a new federal CIO that has a penchant for Macs and Google, but Apple may have missed its chance to mortally wound it. Update 4:10 p.m. PST: Whoops! I meant to say above that I doubt Apple (not Microsoft) has much appetite for the enterprise.

But that’s just fine for Crist. His business depends upon multiple-choice exams, not essay-based exams that plumb the depths of why Windows is the only good answer to every question. So long as enterprises want to run more than Windows, Crist’s Likewise will sell a lot of software. And T-shirts.Source: cnet

Apple Rolls Out New Macs

Apple Inc said on Tuesday it is updating its iMac and Mac mini desktop line of personal computers with prices starting at $599.

The new line of desktop computers includes a 24-inch iMac with twice the memory size and twice the storage of the previous generation 20-inch iMac, but is priced at the same $1,499. The new iMac line includes one 20-inch PC and three new 24-inch iMacs priced between at $1,199 to $2,199.

The two new Mac Mini desktops measure at 6.5 inches by 6.5 inches by 2 inches and the price starts at $599 to $799. The company also introduced a new Mac Pro desktop PC aimed at business users. The new Mac Pro starts at $2,499, $300 less than the previous Mac Pro

Cover Flow won't show in Safari 4 sans DirectX

As those of you with older PCs may have noticed the hard way, some of the new features in Apple's Safari 4 beta for Windows require a graphics card with at least 64MB of on-board RAM that supports at least DirectX 9. This makes it the first browser I've heard of with an explicit graphics card requirement, but is this really a big deal?



Missing from next to the Bookmark icon is the toggle for Top Sites.

(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)

DirectX 9 has been around since 2004, and you can pick up a card for your desktop that supports it for around 20 bucks. This isn't quite analogous to Windows requiring a massive hardware upgrade for Vista, although it is definitely annoying.

What is strange is that Cover Flow on iTunes will work on these older machines, including the main Windows XP computer I use at work. The graphics card is older, yet, as you can see in the screenshots, Cover Flow works in iTunes and doesn't in Safari 4. This leads to my other complaint about the beta: Safari offers no notification when your graphics card is not compliant. Top Sites and Cover Flow merely don't appear. So if the browser must require an upgrade, when iTunes doesn't, the least Apple could do is include some kind of warning.

Apple sued over screen rendering technology in iPhone

Apple is facing another iPhone lawsuit, this time focusing on the screen rendering technology Apple uses in the iPhone and iPod touch.

In the suit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Picsel Technologies claims that the rendering process Apple uses on the iPhone violates Piscel's patents. Specifically, Picsel said its technology accelerates the process of updating the display on a device.

In the lawsuit filed by Nixon Peabody LLP on behalf of Picsel, lawyers said users would experience long screen update delays if it weren’t for the use of the patented technology. Zooming and panning documents, Web sites, and images would not work on the iPhone as fluidly, according to the lawsuit.

Picsel says its technology has been included in more than 250 million units worldwide. The company counts KDDI, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Palm, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Sharp as customers.

Picsel is asking the court to order Apple to compensate Piscel for devices already sold with treble damages.

Nine-year Old Writes iPhone Application

While most children his age sketch on paper with crayons, nine-year old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore, has a very different canvas - his iPhone.

Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple's popular iPhone. His latest, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple's iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported on Thursday.
The program lets iPhone users draw with their fingers by touching the iPhone's touchscreen and then clear the screen by shaking the phone. "I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," Lim said. His sisters are aged 3 and 5.
Lim, who is fluent in six programming languages, started using the computer at the age of 2. He has since completed about 20 programming projects. His father, Lim Thye Chean, a chief technology officer at a local technology firm, also writes iPhone applications.
"Every evening we check the statistics emailed to us (by iTunes) to see who has more downloads," the older Lim said. The boy, who enjoys reading books on programming, is in the process of writing another iPhone application - a science fiction game called "Invader Wars"

How Secure Is Safari?

Apple’s Safari, released for the Windows platform in June 2007, is the second newest browser on Windows, behind Google’s Chrome. (Naturally, Apple’s browser also runs on OS X, and on iPhone and iPod Touch devices in a mobile edition.) Safari leads the pack in anti-phishing filtering and pop-up blocking, but it also has many security weaknesses.

Safari can be freely downloaded from Apple’s Web site, and it is offered as a default option through Apple’s Software Update program, which is installed with other Apple software, including iTunes and QuickTime. Although thesafari, iphone, apple, browser, security default Safari install is easy for end-users to unselect from Software Update, many critics assail Apple for installing potentially unwanted software during a process they believe should be used exclusively for patches and upgrades. Other observers counter that Apple’s automatically pushing an opt-out product is a perfectly legitimate way to offer a free browser alternative.

The Safari installer also installs a service called Bonjour, which allows Apple programs to advertise themselves and discover other Bonjour-compatible programs on the local network. Bonjour is used to automatically configure printers, hunt for file sharing opportunities, and find instant messaging peers, and it allows Safari to discover additional Web pages on the local network. In general, most security experts are wary of auto-discovery programs like Bonjour, and Bonjour itself has been involved in at least three known exploits. Bonjour is not essential to Safari’s functionality and can be disabled.
Windows Safari

The Safari executable is not User Account Control (UAC)-aware on Windows Vista computers, but Vista automatically elevates permissions for the install because the word “setup” is in the name; this could pose a problem if Vista’s heuristics detection functionality is disabled. On Windows Vista, Safari runs as a single process (Safari.exe) with DEP (Data Execution Prevention) disabled, a security negative shared only by Opera; ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) enabled; and file system and registry virtualization enabled, all with a MIC (Mandatory Integrity Control) level of Medium. In comparison, the rendering processes of both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome run with the more secure MIC setting of Low. Apple’s Software Update checks for Safari patches once a week using a Task Scheduler job.

Safari is a full-featured browser, with common security features, including pop-up blocking, private session browsing, and an anti-phishing filter. The pop-up blocking is among the best, and the anti-phishing filter is the most accurate among the browsers I tested (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera). Java, JavaScript, and plug-ins can be turned off on a global basis. As with most other browsers apart from IE, Safari provides no security zones in which to place Web sites of varying degrees of trustworthiness, or to enable or disable functionality on a per-site basis.

Safari always automatically prompts for approval before downloading files, and in doing so, it prevents some high-risk files from being executed before downloading. Safari also has good default cookie control. It is the only browser among those I tested to prevent all third-party cookie writes by default, which is a nice privacy bonus.

On Mac OS X systems, Safari’s passwords are protected by Apple’s Keychain password management system. But even on Windows, Safari’s locally stored passwords are well protected. As in Internet Explorer, stored Web site passwords are never displayed. However, Safari takes last place in remote password handling, passing only 2 of 21 tests on the Password Manager Evaluator Web site.
Settings and ciphers

An optional menu called Develop (which replaces the previous Debug menu option) can be added to the menu bar to speed up Web page development testing, but it also has significant global security impacts. The Develop menu allows the user to quickly open a current Web page in another installed Web browser or to change User Agent strings on the fly (to see how the change affects Web page rendering). Installed plug-ins can be viewed — but not managed — via an option under Safari’s Help menu.

You can also disable local caching of downloaded content, thereby forcing all content to be re-downloaded when revisiting a Web page; disable images; disable CSS (which have been involved in more than a few exploits); and globally disable JavaScript. Disabling JavaScript prevents many malicious Web sites from functioning, but it’s no panacea. Even with JavaScript disabled, one of the most obnoxious malicious Web sites I tried still managed to kick-start more than 40 instances of Safari in a few seconds, resulting in a de facto DoS attack on the test machine.

Safari is weaker than its competitors in several areas regarding digital certificates and SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) traffic. Initially, in SSL/TLS negotiations, TLS with RSA and weak 128-bit RC4 keys are offered first and second in the cipher order. Worse, ECC (Elliptical Curve Cryptography), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and 256-bit keys are never offered as potential cipher choices; further, MD5 is offered first and more frequently than SHA-1, when it should be the other way around. It would seem that Apple hasn’t been paying attention to crypto developments over the last few years.

Safari does warn of invalid digital certificates, but it isn’t nearly as “in your face” as the other top browsers. It warns only once with a small pop-up message, whereas competitors alter the entire Web page with red or multicolored warnings. Come to think of it, maybe Safari has it right: better to display one warning than many for a single problem. But then Safari, unlike all its competitors, fails to point out Extended Validation (EV) certificates or, as Internet Explorer and IE do, to highlight the true domain name, making it more difficult to tell phishing sites from the real thing.
Hunting and phishing

Safari passed all of my browser and JavaScript security exams, negotiating my predefined lab trials, test suites on the Internet (including scanit and Jason’s Toolbox), and real-world exposure to known-malicious Web sites without allowing any malware to be automatically installed (Safari’s competitors fared just as well). The most malicious DoS Web site locked up Safari and the host machine, just as it did the other browsers, but Safari succumbed more quickly than the rest. Safari also fails to stop malicious URL moniker launches, used by attackers to automatically start helper applications they hope to exploit.

When Safari was first released, Apple touted the new browser as a secure alternative to Internet Explorer. As with all Internet Explorer alternatives, Safari’s lack of native support for ActiveX controls does provide users with some protection. Safari’s strong anti-phishing filters are also a plus.

But security is not Safari’s strong point. Unfortunately, 26 separate vulnerabilities have been announced since March 2008, one-third of which would allow complete system access. Plus, there simply isn’t a lot of security granularity to Safari. Security-minded users will have to decide if Safari’s poor cipher support, lack of security zones, and absence of enterprise features for mass deployment and control can be overcome by its aesthetic benefits.

iTunes Music Comes to BlackBerry Storm with nuTsie

iTunes tends not to play too nicely with non-Apple smartphones,--like, say, the BlackBerry. Melodeo intends to change that. The company today announced the availability of nuTsie for the BlackBerry Storm; it gives users unlimited access to their iTunes library (the name is an anagram for iTunes, get it?).

Available now for $19.95, the app doesn't actually feature an iTunes-like interface, nor does it stream music from your home library. Rather it cross-references the music library and playlists on your PC with its own collection of licensed music: nuTsie recreates your mobile library and playlist using that music. If you have something they don't, it sends the service a request to purchase that music. The app is downloadable from Melodeo's site.

Oh, and a fun side-note: Dave Dederer, the company's VP of business development who also sends out its press releases, includes the title "has been rockstar" in his e-mail signature. If anyone in this business deserves such a moniker, it's the guy who played guitar for the Presidents of the United States of America for 11 years.  (Link)(Link)

How to make your own free iPhone dock

Apple didn't get rich by writing a lot of cheques, or by giving something away when it could charge for it later. Even when that something would mean your iPhone wasn't left kicking around on the computer desk, getting scratched up and knocked off.
All we get from Apple is a poxy little USB cable, while Steve Jobs and Tim Cook sit on a mountain of sweet-smelling cash, rubbing coins on their faces and smoking roll-ups made from £20 notes that they lit with a £5 note - all because we went out and bought a dock for our iPhone that should have had one included in the box!
Where was I? Oh yes - picking my iPhone up off the floor.
But no longer. I decided to learn by Apple's thrifty example and made my own iPhone stand from recycled cardboard.
That's right, Cook! How do you like them... Apples. Hmm, he probably likes them quite a lot. Not the best sting I've ever administered to The Man, but you get the point.
Apple's got enough of your money, dear punter, so Pocket Gamer's here to save you a few quid and show you how to make your own iPhone/iPod touch stand.
You're very welcome.

Here's a plan for your new stand. It's A4 landscape size, and gives you all the dimensions so you can measure out and draw the flattened iPhone stand on a piece of cardboard.

New Trojan Targets Mac Pirates

SophosLabs is reporting that a new Trojan horse capable of infecting the Apple Mac OS X platform is doing the rounds.


The Trojan, being called "iWorkServices" or "iServices", has been distributed via BitTorrent inside a pirated version of Apple's new iWork '09 suite.
Hackers have used a pirated version of iWork '09 as a "host" for the malware, just as Apple has loosened up anti-piracy protection in the package.
While previous versions of Apple iWork required users to enter a serial number when installing from CD ROM, the new version allows users to install the software on as many computers as they like - without apparent repercussion.
Malware affecting Apple Macs is much less frequently encountered than it is by Windows-using counterparts.

IPod docks

Even with a brand-new iPod, it can often feel like something is missing. Sure, listening to the device with your headphones is fine—even what it was originally intended for—but sometimes you want to rock out like you used to with your stereo or shelf system. The ideal solution is to pick up an iPod dock, which will let you pump up your music without blowing out your eardrums. Here are three good docks whose prices have dipped 15 percent or more.

Editors' Note: All listed prices are current as of the date of publication—and apt to change quickly and often.

AngleJBL On Stage IIIP
Was: $170
Is: $130
Savings: $40 (23.5 percent)
Why You Want It: The JBL On Stage IIIP earns Apple's "Works with iPhone" certification," so it's perfect for iPhoners who want to pump out their tunes. The small, portable device delivers quality audio and includes a remote for full iPod navigation.

Right AngleAltec Lansing T612
Was: $200
Is: $156

Don't Buy IPhone 3G!!

 

apple-iphone-3g-black

People planning to buy a iPhone.....Please go through this first.I got this as a forwarded mail and I m posting it here, just to make sure that you will be aware of it and you atleast can enquire before buying it. Belive me I can't assure you the credibility fo the following content, but I am publishing since I heard from my friend who is in US, IPhone 3g was a huge failure there, so they are pushing the pieces to Indian market since we Indians are crazy about those phones. Thats why they are selling it around 12k bucks.
BEWARE OF BUYING iPhone3G
Friends .....those of you in India planning for iPhone... THINK TWICE BEFOREMAKING A DECISION... The short comings of iPhone are endless...
>> No video calling
>> no AD2P on the Bluetooth
>> Can't share any (mp3, images,videos....) files via bluetooth
>> can't use as a wireless modem,(you pay ridiculous data charges to activate internet on your phone,but cannot connect it to your PC and browse when you are at home)
>> no copy and paste,(cannot copy a part of a.... say.... email & send it....have to type it out yourself)
>> no 3.2 or 5 megapixel camera(the 2MP camera it carries is worst camera i've ever seen..... photos look like they have come out of a VGA camera)
>> no video recording with camera
>> no front camera
>>no flash
>>no JAVA support
>>No physical keyboard (BELIEVE me! this alone is a dealbreaker...touch keyboard as good as it looks...once you use it then only you come to know about the importance of having a hard keypad)
>> No 3G network yet in India..so why pay for expensive 3G phone if you cant use its 3G services ... so, for India, iPhone 2.0 is no better than its first version
>> No removable battery. (You cannot change battery. Have to send it to apple outlet.. Come on now!!!!...This is not an iPod Its a bloody phone. You cannot live without phone for 2-3 days)
>> No haptic feedback
>> cannot send MMS
>> can't use as external storage device (16 GB of utter waste..next time you go to your friend's house & find some interesting songs, movies etc...sorry you cannot connect your '16 GB' phone and share it!!!! Apple apparently has a solution.. " BUY MUSIC & MOVIES FROM iTUNES STORE "..... Give me a break will you APPLE!!!)
>> no FM radio
>> can't use your mp3 files as ringtones,(This is heights man!!!)
>> cannot insert any other SIM card….
>> completely tied to iTunes... Connect to your friend's iTunes & you risk erasing everything on your phone.

Note:IF U LIKE THIS THEN PLZ PRESS CTRL+D TO BOOKMARK THIS PAGE.

list goes on & on & on…

We Indians are used to these features. Most of our phones already have thesefeatures. & we cannot do with out them.... i mean can you imagine paying somuch for a phone with which you cannot transfer files via bluetooth. whatage is this ...STONE AGE???
Some features may be activated by jailbreak.. But why the hell should yourisk losing your warranty after paying so much.
And want to add third party softwares??.. YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM FROM iTUNESSTORE ONLY!!! . (Shell out more money). Apple is a bloody control freak.Dont surrender your freedom to it.
Its good for american market (who have no idea what mobile freedom/choiceis) which is in stone age compared to asian/european markets. When they wantto buy a phone, they have to go to network operators and buy only thosephones that are available on that network. & stick to that company tilltheir contract expires. You want to change carriers? Not before payingdamages, & buying another phone on the other network again.
On the contrary, we in India have so much freedom. We go to handset shops &buy which ever phone we like. Then go to carriers.. checkout the plans & buySIM.. Dont like the plan or rival carrier came up with a better plan????EASY .. just remove & replace the SIM.
Apple are trying to IMPOSE THEIR MODEL ON US riding on the hype iPhone hascreated in the US (yes it was a flop in Europe why Apple never talks about its sales in Europe).
Dont fall for the subsidized price of iPhone... CHECKOUT THE DATA PLANATTACHED TO ITS SIM ..they will recover the cost through ridiculous dataplans. Bill might come to around Rs 2500/month.(ATLEAST AMERICANS PAY THATMUCH)
Let me clear one thing though.. iphone is the best looking phone (its touchinterface is nothing like you have ever seen ), & best browsing experienceout there no doubt .... (& others are fast catching up..check out theandpostroid demo at Google IO 2008).... BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT ALL COMES DOWNTO FUNCTIONALITY...
Those of who buy it... You will be most happy for atmost a week... & then,MARK MY WORDS...YOU WILL START REGRETTING IT!!!
My advice...WAIT FOR HTC DREAM!! (powered by android). Still not convincedby then...by all means go for iPhone
...So friends lets spread this info to all our friends and help them in makinga wise decision..... & those of you who have bought unlocked versionsalready please share your experiences with others..

Apple set to release 800$ notebook

The Inquisitr is reporting that Apple is getting ready to release its first sub-$1,000 computer - an $800 notebook.

According to the source, Apple retail stores have been given price sheets that list 12 price points for the new range, with prices between $800-$3100. Current lines only have 8 price points, 3 Macbooks starting at $1099, 3 Macbook Pros and 2 Macbook Airs. According to the source, retail outlets usually get the price lists 10 days before products hit the market. Technical specs for the new laptops were not included on the price sheet.

If this turns out to be true, then this is a clear sign that Apple is looking to broaden its customer base in an attempt to try to make itself more resistant to the effects of consumers tightening their belts.

Quick word of caution though - the idea that an Apple store would get pricing information for a new product so far in advance seems fishy to me. This information, if real, is coming to Duncan Riley from a much higher level than a store drone. (full story Link

PwnageTool 2.0.2 Finally Out

Technorati Tags: ,

PwnageTool

The DevTeam has released the PwnageTool 2.0.2 as they promised and now you can once again enjoy all the jailbroken applications on your iPhone 3G. Before you rush into upgrading, you should be aware of what the new PwnageTool does for your iPhone.

The PwnageTool 2.0.2 provides jailbreak for the iPhone 3G, although you have installed Apple’s firmware update 2.0.1. However, in the future it’s possible that you will not be able to unlock the phone which means that you might not be able to use a SIM card no matter what carrier you choose.

In order to update, you should use Sparkle or Finder that will decompress the files, be careful not to use command line tools! Also you ONLY have to download .tbz file because the re-compressed .zip files will generate conflicts. The .tbz files will be decompressed with Apple’s Archive Utility and not with “the unarchiver”.

 

The PwnageTool 2.0.2 includes a new and bugfixed version of Cydia (enabled by default) with new features, and the Installer 4 (Beta) which is created by RiPDev team. Although the Installer 4 is enabled by default, the main installer package will be reported as missing, but you don’t have to worry as the installer.app is in any mode as default.

Also, we are waiting for the WinPwn to be updated as Microsoft Windows users should also enjoy the tool. Until we “meet” again, I hope your iPhone 3G will not develop any cracks!
