By | July 9, 2012 | No comment yet

iOS 6Trust me, I know how hard it is to wait for a new version of iOS. Fortunately for me (and plenty of others), I am a registered developer and part of my USD $99 annual fee extends the privilege of installing and beta testing Apple’s latest and greatest mobile operating system.

Those without a developer account just have to wait… unless they can find their way around that requirement. Of course, Apple isn’t thrilled by that idea and has ventured to crack down on the methods of circumventing their rules.

We’ve heard rumors that there is a new iPad readying for launch earlier than next March , when we would normally expect to see another version of the tablet. These updates may include the iPad undergoing some small revisions that may include a redesigned battery (giving a thinner, lighter and lower temperature device) as well as an enlarged lens hole (for reasons we aren’t quite sure of just yet).

We’ll add to the pile of possible changes, a suspected reduction in the number of LEDs that add backlighting to the iPad’s screen (from 2 down to 1).

iPad3

Apple is now the proud owner of the iPad3.com domain name. Well, currently their IP lawyers at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton are, but it is presumed that the domain will be transfered to Apple officially any time now. While many wonder why on earth Apple bothered to secure that domain, given that they don’t even call their latest tablet the ‘iPad 3′, those in the know understand that in most interpretations of patent law you must defend your trademark in order to retain it.

iPad Mini

So let’s pretend for a moment that Apple has announced that they have created a mini version of the iPad with a 7-inch screen and that it’s a whole bunch cheaper than the current version of their tablet (for the sake of argument we will imagine it is around that USD $250 price-point). Would you buy one? Would lots and lots of people buy one?

Marco ArmentInstapaper developer Marco Arment has had no end of headaches the past few days over an apparent bug in Apple’s App Store.

It appears that the App Store is pushing out corrupted app binaries for a number of their published apps, which is leaving them unusable and making users unhappy with the wrong people (the developers instead of Apple).

Using bubbles and ladders (both of which transport him up), you must help Billy carry the bombs to the top deck where he can throw them overboard before they explode!
