Do not know the current situation if I will continue with this website because I got other exciting projects that take a lot of my time.
I would also like to thank all you readers who have visited the website and also to everyone who left comments.

Apple has submitted an application to the Copyright Organization WIPO and requested ownership of the domain name iphone5.com.
According to technology blog Fusible left Apple last week a request to the UN’s collecting society, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). In its application, Apple has requested ownership of the domain name iphone5.com.
It is unknown who currently owns the domain name as it is hidden, but the site using the domain name is a forum that discusses the topic “iPhone 5″.
Apple has previously purchased the domain name similar to its trademarks, however, it has usually occurred only after the product is released. The domain name iphone4.com bought by Apple for an unknown sum almost a year after the phone was released.
Apple gave earlier also submitted a complaint to WIPO for the domain name iphone4s.com, but it was only several months after the phone launched. The most recent application to WIPO is the first time Apple seeking to gain control of a domain name related to an iphone model before the product is released.
Despite Apple’s pressure to create a new standard for even smaller sim card it seems that the next model of iPhone will have the same card as today.
Apple engineers are doing their best to shrink all parts of the iPhone except the screen. One of the components that still takes up relatively little space is sim-card, which has led to that Apple has proposed a new standard called nano-sim. Nokia has proposed a competing standard, and so far, no decisions of Standards Committees are not taken.
According to Macrumors, it seems that Apple is not waiting for such decisions without building the next iPhone with the same sim card standard that the iPhone 4S.
Information is derived from a Chinese component store that has begun selling a new sim card holder that is different from today but said to be for the iPhone. This is the second component of “iPhone 5″ which appeared on the net - last week sent pictures of what is said to be the new home button around the rumor sites.
For those who have a jailbroken iDevice is certainly not the WinterBoard completely unknown. This program is an important source of, for example, to change themes or modify certain sounds. Now, this program has received a major update, which is about time.
Winter Board may be a necessity when it comes to installing different themes, but it has also been a lot of problems as the speed and stability. Jailbreak related programs have sometimes crashed because of the Winter Board and that it is full of bugs. This has led to several users jailbreak avoiding installing Winter board on its iDevice. Perhaps this major update get many users to consider about when it comes to winter board.
Saurik, for many known as the mastermind behind Cydia, released yesterday, the updated verisionen now called Winter Board0.9.3904 and contains the following updates and bug fixes:
■5.x: Solve SpringBoard Scroll Lag (only with “SummerBoard Mode” off)
■Default SummerBoard Mode to Off
■4+5: TimeStyle, PerPage, IconAlpha
■4+5: WinterBoard.app Respring Fix
■5.x: Last Ditch kill -KILL Respring
■4+5: HTML Wallpaper Multi-Touch
■2+3: Fixed SpringBoard Crashes
■Corrected Order of UISound Stack
■Use Fallback/* to Wildcard Theme
Let’s hope this leads to the Winter Board works better to our iDevice.
The clock has a small army with features such as built-in accelerometer, vibration, support IFTTT. Display of incoming calls, emails, facebook messages, twitter and calendernotify etc.
It gets even more interesting because it mentions an SDK to develop custom apps to watch.
All this is connected via bluetooth to the phone and computer.
Rockstar Games has released the classic action game Max Payne in a version for Apple’s mobile platform.
For those of you who perchance not know the game already, itbriefly about a cop named Max Payne who one day finds his familymurdered. Max decides to locate the killers, leading to a bloodbathof seldom seen.
This is how the game look:
System requirement for Max Payne Mobile is an iPad, iPhone(3GS/4/4S) or iPod Touch (3rd and 4th generation) with version 4.2or later of the embedded software.
Note that the game is quite large, 1.11 gigabytes.
Next iPhone will probably be released in October, just like the iPhone 4S, and can get a whole new look.
According to a personnel manager at Foxconn, Apple has placed an order for production of the next iPhone with a view to launch in October, writes Kotaku who have translated an article from a South Korean newspaper.
Meanwhile, a (rather loose) reputation on what Apple may haveplans for the new model. Most expect probably 4G support, perhapseven in Europe, and of course a newer processor, but in addition it has been rather short on information.
Now it’s Brian White, analyst at the Topeka Capital Markets, who has been visiting several suppliers to Apple, and claim that they have started receiving orders for components to be manufacturedstarting in June and thus fits well with a launch during the fall .
White also claims that Apple for the first time will do the screen of the iPhone larger, and that the new phone will be even thinner andtherefore will have a unibody Macbook shell-like, to make it managethat to be so thin yet rigid and durable.
As always, take rumors coming from analysts with an extra largegrain of salt.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of third-party applicationson the App Store, there are some things Apple for some reason do not want us to do with our iDevices. Those who wish can, however,”jailbreak” their device, which provides access to the alternative programs store Cydia.
The following movies are listed 100 reasons to jailbreak an iPhone or iPod Touch:
In Anandtech’s lengthy iPad review, they reveal knowledge of an internal Apple project for a game controller for iOS:
I know of an internal Apple project to bring a physical controller to market, but whether or not it will ever see the light of day remains to be seen. As smartphones and tablets come close to equalling the performance of current game consoles, I feel like the controller problem must be addressed.
Apple is not the first company to considering such a device for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Several 3rd party companies have worked on similar devices over the years. iControlPad one of the first and is now provided.
Ion Audio’s has iCade follow-up (pictured above) also allows users to attach their iOS device within a control unit that provides physical buttons and controls.
Apple has also applied for a patent on a similar design.
These 3rd party solutions are generally relegated to the keyboard emulation via Bluetooth instead of full-fledged bridge-supportaccessories. In fact, we had heard that Apple originally supported these accessories makers in their quest to make official, however,plug game controllers, but the approval process mysteriously stopped.
Some had speculated about time that Apple was working on his own game controller solution. We’ve heard little else about this, butAtari’s recently announced Arcade Joystick doing now uses the dock connector.
Once you install the app you’ll notice that the slide to unlock bar is significantly shortened and a grabber type camera button is displayed, which is then invoked by sliding vertically. One more good thing to know is that the tweak is quite a good implementation of the official update by Apple as it even considers the passcode rules, so if the passcode is activated no one will be able to gain access to the Camera Roll without entering the codeproperly.
