A priceless video:


"第四代iPhone出包賈伯斯忙滅火" (you don't need to know any language to grok this video)

One comment: ""We expect perfection from Apple." which just goes to show how good their PR is because nobody ever mentions the G4 cube, pippin or newton anymore."


Privacy Change: Apple Knows Where Your Phone Is And Is Telling People - "If you agree to the changes, (which you must do in order to download anything via the iTunes store) you agree to let Apple collect store and share "precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device.""

RIM, HTC say Steve Jobs is full of it - "Instead of admitting any real failure, Jobs said the issue was being blown out of proportion and claimed that Apple's newest phone is no worse than other smartphones on the market... Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't seen any outcry over reception issues with either of these phones. Well, neither have their respective manufacturers, and they're being very vocal with their displeasure about Jobs's statements... It was indeed remarkably bold of Jobs to deflect attention away from his company's very real problem by attacking some of the top-selling competitors' phones, without knowing hardly anything about their design process and dropped call numbers"
Apple has a lot in common with the MIW...

Apple's "evil/genius" plan to punk the Web and gild the iPad - "The company that has made an advertising platform a major part of its iOS strategy is also hawking an ad-blocking technology for its Web browser, where it has no stake in ads... At the same time that Apple is touting HTML 5 as the best way to make "emotional" advertising on both the Web and in the App Store, it's calling Web advertising "annoying" and giving us tools to block it, but only when Apple isn't getting a cut. And something tells me that an iAds blocker is not going to be approved for the App Store any time soon."
