The many outfits of Steve Jobs


Here is a snapshot of what big ol' SJ has been wearing over the last 6 years during WWDC:
Seriously though, all the money in the world and only one fucking outfit? Gimme a fucking break.

Apple: now deleting iPhone 4 bug/issue threads, your thoughts to follow

     If you were looking for a message thread on Apple's support forums pointing to Consumer Reports' article 'not recommending' the iPhone 4, it's not there any more. Apple's support forum moderators deleted the thread. Bing cached it.
    If it happened once, maybe you'd say it was a glitch. But what if it happened twice? Three times? Four times, five, six?

    I'm not prone to hysterics or a subscriber to conspiracy theories, but it's fairly hard to imagine any good way to interpret this. Every post that I saw listed in a Google search of Apple's discussion boards lead to the same result: "Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category."

Too much lighting

 








    Is it necessary to have so much fucking lighting instore? I'd say somewhere between UFO-like glare of Apple and those (should be braille trained) idiots at Hollister is probably about right. It's even more noticeable now that everything has a glass screen, as demonstrated by this Specialist who is trying to show a customer how told hold an iPad so you can actually see the screen.



Apple App Store and iTunes Accounts Hacked

     Apple hackers are at large again. One guy, Thuat Nguyen has apparently hacked into iTunes. He did this dastardly deed just to boots the ratings for his book apps that accounted for 42 of the top 50 books by revenue in the Books section of the iTunes App Store. Other developers noticed the lopsided rise in Nguyen’s app and found it very mysterious. Up to $200 from hacked accounts were reportedly used to buy the developer's apps. So far there’s nothing official that’s come out of Apple concerning the hack but word is they’re still investigating. So if you notice a few books added onto your account, try to remember if you bought them, even if they are in Vietnamese.
