Apple’s Thunderbolt Display will finally be shipping to retail stores this week. The revamped 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display was first unveiled back in July alongside the refreshed MacBook Air, both touting a new high-speed 10Gbps Thunderbolt connector port.

Apple now training employees on iOS 5, iCloud?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Apple is said to have begun training store employees on how to use iOS 5 and iCloud in preparation for what is likely the iPhone 5’s pending announcement and launch. Both iOS 5 and iCloud are expected this fall and a new operating system traditionally coincides with the launch of new hardware.
Apple blog 9to5Mac got their hands on a couple of photos from Apple’s RetailMe iPad application that is used to train store employees on new software. The first image shows a portion of the Daily Download, a newspaper for employees. In this section, we can see that iOS 5 and iCloud are both “just around the corner” and that Apple will be preparing a series covering everything customers will need to kno...

Apple posts job listing for two new product security team members
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
As we reported, there has been plenty of speculation that an Apple iPhone 5 prototype has gone missing in a story eerily similar to last year's fiasco when an Apple employee left an iPhone 4 prototype at a bar. The main difference this time is, that if true, the person who has the device is keeping quiet, perhaps worried about all of the legal hassles that surrounded last year's situation.
While not the definitive last word on the matter, some might find it more than a coincidence that Apple has just posted a job listing seeking two people to add to its product security team. The job entails overseeing the protection of Apple's unreleased products. The positions are based in Cupertino, but 3...

iPhone 5 pre-orders now available at Deutsche Telekom
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple has yet to announce it’s fifth-generation smartphone, but that apparently won’t stop German carrier Deutsche Telekom from selling it. Bloomberg reported on Monday morning that it has confirmed with Deutsche Telekom that, beginning today, DT subscribers may begin reserving Apple’s next-generation iPhone 5 smartphone. The carrier will hand out coupons to customers who reserve the device, despite the fact that no confirmed details surrounding the next iPhone are available. Not even the name of the device is confirmed at this point. Apple is expected to launch a fifth-generation iPhone and an updated fourth-generation model some time next month. Invitations to a special media event at whic...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA 2011 because of a new Apple injunction against it
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGalaxy Tab 7.7
The mysterious yanking of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet from the show floor at the IFA 2011 expo has been confirmed by Samsung to be caused by a preliminary injunction Apple secured against the tablet on Friday, September 2.
Cupertino already scored one injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany, and, although Samsung labeled its first tablet sample with Super AMOLED display as "Not for sale in Germany" on the following day of the expo, this obviously hadn't been enough to secure its continuous presentation on the floor of IFA 2011.
James Chung, a Samsung spokesperson from the Korean headquarters, has confirmed for Bloomberg that Apple has been granted an injunction to ban...

Police aided Apple in home search for missing iPhone prototype
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
It appears that two Apple investigators, with the help of 4 San Francisco Police officers, searched a house in Ingleside that was thought to contain the missing iPhone 5 prototype that was lost recently in a San Francisco bar and later thought to have been sold on Craigslist for $200.
While police had initially denied having been involved in any such search with Apple employees, the department later released a statement confirming that it had, in fact, participated.
The search failed to turn up the device.

Geek walks into Apple Store with broken Time Capsule, walks out with drive full of Apple documents
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Sometimes weird things happen at Apple. Losing one iPhone at a bar is odd enough; losing a second, the same way is downright weird. The latest snafu at Apple is firmly on the weird side as well. Apparently, a guy took his malfunctioning Time Capsule back up drive into an Apple Store. When he left with the drive and got home the owner realized he had a bit of extra content on the old supposedly broken hard drive.
Apparently, the Genius at the Apple Store gave the man back his repaired Time Capsule sporting a new drive and the old busted drive that was replaced. When the guy plugged the old drive in the thing worked and was full of confidential Apple documents going back to late 2009 up to May...

Apple begins selling refurbished iPad 2s
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 2
Apple has for the first time begun selling refurbished iPad 2s through its online store. Selection is currently limited to 32 or 64GB capacities, and predominantly 3G models, equipped for either AT&T or Verizon. The two exceptions are 64GB Wi-Fi tablets in either black or white.
The Wi-Fi options are in fact the cheapest amongst the refurbs, costing $649 each. 32GB 3G tablets are $679, and pricing shoots up to $779 for 64GB 3G. The costs are nevertheless better than the respective $699, $729 and $829 Apple charges for new hardware. Refurbished iPads are used products, but include new batteries and outer shells, as well as one-year warranties.

iPhone 5 design possibly leaked in Photo Stream icon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Hints of the iPhone 5's real design may have come through an unusual source as a sighting in Apple's latest Photo Stream beta has shown an unusual icon. Rather than match the usual iPhone layout, it shows a device with a wide home button and considerably reduced blank spaces above and below the display, alluding to a bigger screen. The 9to5 capture nearly recalls the design of the Galaxy S II.
Although an abstraction with room for it to just be an unintended effect, Apple is known for often being fastidious about the look of device icons, even giving iOS devices and iPods their individual colors when they show in iTunes. As such, the icon may be a strong indication of significant design chan...

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps
Spotify's been up for nearly two months, and it's shown amazing growth. Now it wants to find its way into everything else you do on your iPhone by handing developers and Premium users the new Spotify API.
Called libspotify 9, the code will allow the program to live inside any app developers can think of. Spotify sessions are already handled pretty well by iOS multitasking, but, as excellent as the app is, you tend to have to leave what you're doing to change playlists. By sticking the functionality into games, for instance, you won't have to jump out of what you're doing in the middle of a campaign. Pretty neat.

Openwave sues Apple and RIM for patent infringement
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleRIM BlackBerry
Add one more to the tally of patent lawsuits involving Apple and RIM. This time it's Openwave Systems using the license-by-litigation technique, and it's alleging that multiple devices infringe five of its patents on mobile internet -- including offline email access, cloud computing, and secure server access. The company claims that Apple's iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4, the iPod Touch, both iPads, plus RIM's Blackberry Curve 9930 and the PlayBook all infringe its IP. Apparently, Openwave initially took the pacifist route to persuade Cupertino and Waterloo to pay up, but when its overtures were ignored, it decided upon more aggressive tactics. As others before it, Openwave wants to fight a two front ...

Apple May Have A Web-Based Diagnostics Tool In The Works For iStuff
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
If ever your iPhone or iPad starts acting wonky, chances are you pack it up and head on over to your nearest Genius Bar. It’s a hassle, but it’s a small price to pay for your beloved iStuff. Ease of use is one of Apple’s key standards for a device, and that extends way past a navigable interface.
That said, Hardmac is reporting that Apple has internally announced a new web-based diagnostics tool for iOS devices that can be used remotely. In other words, future problems with your iPhone or iPod just got a lot easier to fix.
It basically works by sending an email with a URL to the device that’s acting weird. When Safari loads up the URL (which can also be typed in to the browser), the phone wi...

Steve Jobs's biological father regrets never meeting his son, Chinese workers unimpressed with the resignation
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
The biological father of Steve Jobs, who is of Syrian descent, is now in regrets he had never met his uber-successful son, and only emailing him from time to time for his birthdays.
Apple's former CEO was given for adoption as his mother's family was against her having a kid from Abdulfattah John Jandali, who, at 80 years of age, is now a VP of one casino in Nevada, workaholic as his son. The granddad passed away shortly after Steve Jobs was adopted, and his biological parents reunited, but there wasn't much they could do about rolling the adoption back.
"I'd be lying if I said it doesn’t sadden me to have not been part of my son’s incredible journey. What father wouldn’t think that? And I ...
