Organizing Apps in iOS 4

 

iOS 4 brings an entirely new way to organize apps on the iPod touch and iPhone. Previously, the only organization available was to separate the apps on different pages and flick between them. After a few pages of apps, it became much harder to find the one you were looking for.

Apple Delays Availability of White iPhone

 

 

Today, Apple released a press statement announcing that it is delaying shipments of the white iPhone 4 until late July.

White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.I have a feeling that the manufacture may not have been precisely more challenging, but that the color of the finished product may not have been up to the standards of Steve Jobs when he held one in his hand. I don’t have any inside information on this, purely speculation, but I could imagine him saying, “Not good enough, send it back and redo it.”

Who Needs Java? Probably Not You

After a month-long test run running completely without it, PC Magazine writer Larry Seltzer has come to an interesting conclusion: "Java as a client-side platform is pretty clearly a failure, and all that remains of it is a big fat attack surface on your computer."

While that may be true, we think there are a few other things to consider before attempting at making your machine a Java-free runtime environment.

Google Apps Now Supports Multiple Domains

Google Apps now has multi-domain support, allowing organizations with two or more domains to manage from a single control panel.

Until now, Google Apps permitted one domain per account. That has become an issue, especially for larger organizations, migrating employees on multiple domains. Companies would either set up other domains as domain aliases or set up different Google Apps accounts for each domain.

According to the blog !escunid , this is how the process worked before:

Can Augmented Reality Help Save the Planet?

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Augmented Reality Event in Santa Clara, California, and it was there that I discovered some amazing uses being developed using AR technology. I've already highlighted how it is being used to help doctors save lives, and more recently how it could be used to level the battlefield for soldiers in the middle east. Another example has an even loftier goal: helping to fight the climate and energy crises and save the planet.

Report: iOS Could End iPhone Jailbreaking (Updated)

AddictiveTips, a tech blog with a small but growing profile online, has published what it says is leaked information from an anonymous employee at Apple alleging that the new iOS will, among other things, detect whether an iPhone has been jailbroken and unlocked - then require that factory approved software be re-installed. Jailbroken phones that don't return to the fold will be shut off from receiving a signal from AT&T. Update: Upon further discussion, it's unclear whether the code in question will shut off all jailbroken phones or just those that have been unlocked from AT&T to run on T-Mobile.
