Just days after Apple asked an iPhone app developer to remove references to Google’s Android Marketplace, the Cupertino, Calif. company is advising location-aware applications can’t simply help Google’s AdMob serve location-based advertising. “If your app uses location-based information primarily to enable mobile advertisers to deliver targeted ads based on a user’s location, your app will be

Old Apple Tablet concept would make for a great accessory idea

Now that we all know what the iPad is going to look like, the library of concept designs we used to illustrate the old “Apple Tablet” rumor posts look pretty silly, but they’re occasionally worth examining for ideas just not on what Apple could do with the iPad next… but what accessory makers might do. This

Detailed Tour of iPad Touch UI Shows Why It’ll Be More Important Than iPhone

A lot of people are nonplussed by the iPad because it doesn’t seem so new, or even very useful. It’s just a big iPod touch. So what? But one of the most interesting things Apple said has about the iPad is how it improves the “experience” of doing everyday computing tasks — email, web browsing, making

The latest MacBook Pros and iMacs sport a new port, a Secure Digital (SD) memory card reader. The immediate assumption is that you will use the SD card slot for transferring videos and photos from a camera to the Mac. That’s what a majority of users will use it for. For the hardcore users out there, Apple decided to give the SD port super powers — you can use it to build a bootable SD card. That bootable card can then become an awesome tool for performing emergency hard drive repairs, data recovery, recovering deleted files, and much more. This how-to will get you started on building your SD card offering you a few ideas along the way, but potential uses for this SD card are practically unlimited. Difficulty level: Medium What you need: > MacBook Pro or iMac 2009 model with built-in SD card slot > Mac OS X installation DVD that shipped with your Mac. > Recommended high speed 16GB or 32GB SanDisk Extreme III SD card; Minimum 8GB SanDisk Extreme III. Note: Other SD cards may work, but will be considerably slower.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert Brings the Red Menace to Your iPhone

It’s a game series that’s gotten much love over the years, despite, or perhaps because of, the cheesy live action cut scenes featuring actors like Tim Curry. Now, Command & Conquer comes to the iPhone with Command & Conquer: Red Alert ($9.99, iTunes link ), named after its PC and console counterpart released in 1996. How well does the beloved RTS translate to the iPhone platform? That depends on what you’re looking to get out of the game. EA Mobile has clearly tried to faithfully translate the experience, but as with any translation, no perfect one-to-one relationship can exist. What does come through, however, is definitely worth looking at. Graphics & Audio Perhaps just to make me sad, EA chose not to go with live action mission briefings for this installment of the series, opting instead to brief you with static cartoon images and scrollable text. It’s not nearly as pleasant as hammy acting, but it does get the job done and prepare you adequately for the in-game action. In-game graphics look great, and are probably a bit of an improvement over their original counterparts in the PC version

iPhone has finally launched in China

Section: Apple News , Updates , iPhone , Carriers , iPhone According to the Associated Press , the iPhone has finally officially launched in China, with one major feature missing: built-in Wi-Fi. A ban on Wi-Fi by the Chinese government had forced Apple to produce iPhones with Wi-Fi removed specifically for sale in China, but the ban on Wi-Fi had been lifted shortly after Apple started producing the modified iPhones. With the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity in the iPhones that had gone on sale today, many are speculating on why the devices remain so expensive. The relatively high price may be due to competition with unlocked iPhones from the United States and other countries that are being sold on the streets for a cheaper price and no contract. The imported iPhones reportedly cost Chinese buyers up to 20% less than the official Chinese version in stores. An estimated 1.5 to 2 million imported iPhones are already operating on China’s Unicom carrier network. So far, Apple has refrained from offering public sales targets for the Chinese market. A rumor had gone around in the past claiming that China’s Unicom carrier had committed to purchasing 5 million iPhones for sale on its network, although it was quickly denied by a spokesperson for the carrier. To be honest, if I lived in China, I would most likely buy a 3G S with Wi-Fi on the streets rather than pay 20% more for a legit Chinese iPhone without Wi-Fi capabilities, wouldn’t you?

Section: Mac + Computers , Laptops , MacBook Pro , Reviews Provides: Protection for MacBook Pro Developer: Speck Minimum Requirements: Macbook Pro Price: $49.95 Availability: Now As we all know, the kind of cover you put on your laptop says a lot about you; everything, in fact. It gives people exactly the kinds of deep insights into your personality that are normally reserved for years of close friendship or Twitter feeds. “Who are you, Mac user? What mysteries does your MacbookPro hold? What kind of screenplay are you tapping away at as you drink your dark mocha latte, soy, no whipped cream?” People are thinking this, I know. Or maybe not. Maybe they’re just admiring the stylish laptop cover from Speck that snaps on to my 13” Macbook Pro, protecting it from scratches and stains. And they should, because it’s a really stylish cover. Dark but transluscent, the Apple logo gives off a soft glow when illuminated (I have the black model)

When the installer contains two spelling mistakes, it’s a sign you’re installing quality software. From Adobe UI Gripes, a site that describes itself as: “Me moaning about shoddy UI inconsistencies and mistakes in Adobe products and how they get shittier with every release.”

Twenty five years after Apple aired it’s famous 1984 commercial, it’s Steve Jobs that is being portrayed as Big Brother. In a remake of Apple’s famous 1984 ad, which famously portrayed IBM as a force of oppression, startup doubleTwist has Apple pegged as the oppressor. The web ad — clearly designed to go viral — shows armies

Mmm Mmm Good: Pop Art iPhone Sleeve

These iPhone sleeves sport pop-art goodness in the form of Campbell’s soup labels. Hand made out of recycled tablecloths — vinyl outside, soft batting inside — at $5 on Etsy , it would be hard to find a cheaper conversation starter. We’re guessing Andy would approve.
