Apple business website hacked by Anonymous
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
An Apple website has been the subject of a hack by Anonymous, with a small number of users' details leaked on to the web.
The hack is thought to have happened 4 July, with data found on the Apple Business Intelligence website posted on Paste Bin.
While it is only the details of 27 people (including usernames and passwords) the attack was claimed by Anonymous and is all part of the group's antisec campaign, which is targeting business sites.
And hacking Apple, regardless of the size of the bounty at the end of it, is a major feat for the collective – given the amount of data the company holds on the public through its iTunes service.

Apple beats RIM is U.S. market share - Android above both
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleRIM BlackBerryGoogleAndroid
The latest numbers have come out from comScore and it has some revealing stats about the state of the U.S. smartphone market. Basically, Apple and Android are winners while RIM and Microsoft are the losers.
Perhaps helped by the Verizon iPhone, Apple iOS was able to surpass RIM’s BlackBerry OS in overall market share. Apple claimed 26.6 percent of the market while RIM had 24.7 percent, a 4.2 percent drop from February of 2011 (note: the comScore numbers deal with March 2011 figures). This is just the latest bad piece of news for RIM, as the company has been hammered by anonymous letters from employees which don’t express much confidence.

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
iPad 2 owners can now enjoy the freedom of the easiest way to jailbreak their tablet, JailbreakMe 3.0. The tool, developed by @comex, works without the need to connect your iDevice to a computer – you just navigate to www.jailbreakme.com and install everything from there.

It's also nearly completely safe – you can however mess up your device after you get root access. Jailbreakme is easily reversible by means of an iTunes restore and if you ever wondered whether it's legal stateside, you can rest assured that it is as the Library of Cong...

Apple may be shipping 5 million iPad 2s in July alone
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Some leaked information from part suppliers for the Apple iPad 2 suggest that 5 million touch panels have been ordered by Apple in an effort to ramp up production and strengthen their grip on the still young tablet market.
There are multiple companies that are responsible for supplying these touch panels. Wintek and TPK handle the heaviest load and it is believed they shipped between 1.4 and 1.6 million panels just last month. To meet the demands of Apple they will need to step their game up as well as the smaller suppliers such as the company Cando, amongst others.
It is also possible these touch panels could be designated for the rumored LTE-capable iPad that many believe we will see at ...

Apple manufacturing partners may build 5 million iPad 2 units in July
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Apple’s manufacturing partners are slated to build 5 million iPad 2 units in July alone, DigiTimes reports. The new claim follows an earlier report stating Apple will ship between 12 million and 14 million iPad 2 tablets in the third quarter of 2011, doubling the Cupertino-based technology giant’s second-quarter shipment volume. DigiTimes claims Cando, Sintek Photronic, Chimei Innolux, TPK Holding and Wintek will combine to supply 5 million touch sensors this month, matching the volume they reportedly filled in June. Apple’s iPad 2 remins one of the best-selling consumer electronics devices on the market, and Apple may launch an updated version of the tablet later this year according to rumo...

AT&T offering standard insurance for all iPhone models from July 17th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleAT&TiPhone 3GSiPhone 4
The iPhone has been an AT&T exclusive since day one, but unlike other phones on the carrier, the original iPhone couldn't be insured. Things have changed with later models, but you still weren't eligible for standard insurance and had to pay a whopping $12 a month and $199 in deductibles if you used the iPhone.
This however is set to change once and for all as AT&T has updated its standard insurance policy now including all iPhone models. The monthly mobile insurance price runs at the much lighter on the pocket $4.99, which covers pretty much everything: loss, theft, accidental physical or liquid damage and mechanical or electrical failure. The deductible should be set at $125, if we are to ...

iPhone 5 rumor claims 15 million units to come out of the assembly line; shipping to start in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Few would disagree with us if we say that the iPhone 5, or whatever it will be called when it hits the market, is among the most anticipated smartphones right now. Just look at all the speculation that Apple's next greatest creation is being subjected to – everybody is trying to guess what it will look like, how much it will cost, and, most importantly, when it will be up for sale.
Once again, the latest iPhone 5-related rumor comes from our favorite hit-or-miss source DigiTimes, which means that you might want to take it with a grain of salt. It is said that Pegatron Technology, a Taiwan-based notebook manufacturer, has received an order to produce 15 million iPhone 5s and is expected to st...

Upcoming MacBook Airs to use 400Mbps flash storage?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleMacBook Air 13-inch Mid 2009MacBook Air unibody 11-inchMacBook Air unibody 13-inch
Japanese blog Macotakara.jp is reporting from parts makers in Asia that Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air refresh, expected in the next two weeks, will use super-speedy 400Mbps NAND flash storage chips. In addition to being incredibly fast — even faster that the current MacBook Air solution, which uses an mSATA connector to connect the SSD to the motherboard — these new NAND flash storage chips would be soldered directly to the motherboard, bypassing any connector. If true, this new change would result in 100-times performance increase over the current solution, and coupled with a rumored bump to i5 / i7 processors, the new MacBook Airs should absolutely fly.

Apple becomes latest "Anonymous" hacker target
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Notorious hacker collective “Anonymous Operations” on Sunday published data it claims to have obtained by breaching a server belonging to Apple. The data, which consisted of 27 usernames and passwords, was allegedly taken during from surveys stored on an Apple server. Though the group said on one of its Twitter accounts that it is “busy elsewhere,” and therefore will seemingly not be targeting Apple again in the near future, it claims to have exploited a security flaw common to several companies when it gained access to Apple’s server. Anonymous said the breach was part of its AntiSec movement, short for anti-security, which is aimed at “exposing corporate and government data and humiliating...

Now you can get an early prototype iPhone 4 on eBay
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
If you've ever wondered how a possibly early build of the iPhone4 looks like, despite not being able to activate it or operate it in any way, now you can get yours on eBay for over $1,700.
The device carries a product number DF1692, a unique identification given to each Apple employee, so you might also expect to get contacted by Apple, but for the time being the auction is alive and well.
Visually, the prototype iPhone 4 mimics the looks of the final device with the only notable difference being the lack of “+” and “-” signs on the volume buttons. No activation also means that the amount of memory on the handset is a guessing game. The seller, Jtmaxo, claims to be a licensed phone repairme...

Why Is Apple's $49 Thunderbolt Cable So Expensive?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
And you thought Monster Cables were expensive. Third-party products that make use of Apple's proprietary Thunderbolt connection have finally hit the market—or, rather, the Apple Store. And if you want to use devices like Promise's Thunderbolt-equipped multi-bay storage arrays, you're going to need a Thunderbolt cable to power the connection.
Don't bother hitting up your local electronics retailer or surfing over to Monoprice, however: Thunderbolt cables are currently only available from Apple, and they're going to set you back a pretty penny for a two-meter hunk of wire. Apple's listed a single Thunderbolt cable for $49 on the Apple Store, which might very well be the defining characteristic...

Can't say it happened at Mach 3, but the iPad 2 jailbreak that we saw teased back in mid-March seems to have made its way out into the wild at long last. According to the video hosted up just past the break, JailbreakMe 3.0 is now available with support for the iPad 2.

RIM rumored making BlackBerry Media Box to rival Apple TV
Like UnlikeFiled in: Digital Media PlayersAppleRIM BlackBerryTV
RIM may have a counterpart to the Apple TV, according to a rumor put forward by a historically reliable source. So far nicknamed the BlackBerry Media Box, it would be a blend between the basic BlackBerry Presenter and a media hub like Apple's box. The design would even take a cue from Apple in N4BB' understanding and use the same hardware as a mobile device, in this case likely the processor and QNX-based OS from the BlackBerry PlayBook.
It wouldn't necessarily be as home-oriented as the Apple TV but might still have some third-party media services. An equivalent to AirPlay hasn't been mentioned and isn't currently known to be in the roadmap for BlackBerry Tablet OS. The OS does already supp...
