A Guide To Explosive Firework Photographs
A photo ostensibly showing a 15-year-old nude girl has appeared in an iPhone app, highlighting Apple’s inability to safeguard its application store from prohibited content. The image appears in the free app BeautyMeter, which enables people to upload photos that are then rated by others, who assign a star-rating to each other’s body parts and clothing. It’s much like an iPhone version of Hot or Not and many similar sites.

Apple has taken the latest build of iPhone OS 3.1 in its gentle hands, climbed to the roof of the Cupertino campus and lofted the update to the winds, shouting “Fly, my little one! Fly!” The beta version of the next update contains some new features, most of which will only be useful to 3GS owners.

Viewers experiences of Internet connected TV’s (widget TV’s) will be limited due to the UK’s slow broadband speeds, according to Jim Wallace, the man in charge of Home Segment Marketing at ARM. Mr Wallace was particularly concerned about the recent Digital Britain report which laid down objectives for every home in the UK to have a minimum broadband connection speed of 2Mbps – which in his eyes was simply not fast enough. Mr Wallace spoke out after LG hired ARM to power their internet connected televisions

Oracle is an expert at acquisitions. Few do it better, but with Sun, it got a bunch of unique problems ( including a processor that no one seemed to want ), and they seem to be bleeding the value out of the company before Oracle can take control. Anecdotally, IBM, which had originally been trying to make the purchase, seems to be the biggest beneficiary of Sun’s customer attrition, suggesting that it may be getting much of the initial benefit without incurring massive cost and risk of making the acquisition.

Apple, in sharp contrast to Microsoft, clearly thinks IT managers don’t provide any value in terms of determining their products or solutions. But, if you look at the result, couldn’t you argue that the result is a more desirable product? I wonder whether Microsoft made a mistake to focus on the needs of IT because it pulled focus from the user; the result has been products like Vista that weren’t that attractive to users and didn’t move well in business anyway

While Apple is far from the least expensive PC vendor and doesn’t really like corporate buyers much (though this may be changing ), it constantly amazes by doing a solid job of design and eventually solving most nagging problems. At its World Wide Developer Conference this week, it made a number of solid moves to improve its hardware line and begin ramping to Snow Leopard, Apple’s next Mac OS Minor release (I’m not sure it will ever again do a major release).
