Apple TV to get subscription service?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Digital Media PlayersAppleTVTV 2gen
Apple is looking into adding some sort of subscription to Apple TV, in a bid to bring more premium content to the service.
This is according to the Wall Street Journal, which has been speaking to undisclosed sources at Apple about what will be the next big move for the electronics giant now that Steve Jobs is no longer at the helm.
Buried in a piece about the future of Apple, the WSJ explained that some sort of subscription is on the cards for Apple TV, noting: "Apple is working on new technology to deliver video to televisions, and has been discussing whether to try to launch a subscription TV service."

Apple patent application imagines iPhones that learn the sweet sound of your voice
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersTabletsApple
Button-loathing Apple really wants people to stop dirtying its devices with sticky fingerprints. That's why it's applied for a patent that should improve the frustrating experience of using iOS's voice control -- precisely the kind of update we've been awaiting since Apple bought Siri last year. With the help of a technology billed as "User profiling for voice input processing," your device would identify your voice, check against a library of words associated with you without having to trawl through its entire dictionary. We just hope Apple doesn't do away with physical inputs entirely -- we'd hate to broadcast to the world all the guilty pleasures we have loaded on our iPods.

Apple's board grants new CEO Tim Cook 1 million shares to lock him up until 2021
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple's new CEO Tim Cook is keeping his fingers crossed that the company's stock can keep rising over the next five to ten years. According to an SEC form 8K filing made by the company, Cook received a grant from Apple's board for 1,000,000 common shares of stock with a current value of $383 million. In return, Cook is locked up as Apple's CEO until 2021.
Now before you start counting Mr. Cook's money, the stock will fluctuate and the executive won't even actually own the shares until they vest. Half of the award will vest in August 2016 with the remainder vesting in August 2021. Once the shares are turned over to the CEO, he still will have to follow SEC regulations. Generally, executives...

Apple prepping new video delivery method for TVs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Digital Media PlayersAppleTV 2gen
Brief remarks in an overview of Tim Cook's new position as Apple CEO have hinted that Apple is developing a new approach to TV. The company was cryptically described as making a "new technology to deliver video to televisions." What that entailed wasn't elaborated by the WSJ source.
The mention could be an allusion to a greater emphasis on streaming over downloading. Apple TV owners can watch shows without having to permanently download a copy, but they still have to cache on the hub while they play, downloading as if they were permanent copies. It could alternately include something beyond the Apple TV.

Possible iPhone 5 frame hints new antenna, new inside
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
A newly spotted frame obtained by iPatchiPods has hinted that either the iPhone 5, the 8GB iPhone 4, or both will have a redesigned antenna structure. Where the AT&T iPhone 4 has the antenna breaks on the steel frame on the bottom of its left side and the top left, and the CDMA iPhone 4 has both at the top of the sides, the model shown to MacRumors has two at the bottom.
On the current CDMA model, the antennas were placed to account for the different behavior of the radio. The frame shown here has a SIM slot, though whether it's dual-mode or not is still uncertain.

Dutch judge says Apple's "slide-to-unlock" patent is likely invalid
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Just one day after ordering a preliminary injunction blocking the sale of multiple Samsung smartphones, a Dutch judge has said that at least one patent Apple is suing the South Korean company over is probably invalid. The judge ruled on Wednesday that Samsung’s GALAXY S II, GALAXY S and GALAXY Ace smartphones infringe on Apple patents. Regarding one of the patents Apple claims Samsung is infringing, however, FOSS Patents reveals that the judge is not sold on its validity, calling the patent — which covers the “slide-to-unlock” feature on Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod touch — “obvious.” What’s more, Swedish phone manufacturer Neonode released a Windows CE phone in Europe that featured a slide...

With the news today that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple, a pall seems to have been cast over the business of technology. It was here that Jobs made his mark and left an amazing legacy.
