Apple will now replace your MacBook's bottom (TUAW.com)

May 31st 2011 11:03AM Sucks that this doesn't cover the Macbook Pro. The feet on mine came off, Apple replaced them all and they came off again. If they can't get that right, they need to find a way to add these more permanently to the unibody itself.

Foxconn employees asked to sign 'no suicide' pledge (TUAW.com)

May 5th 2011 9:00PM That's good, because nobody in the US does either.

Foxconn employees asked to sign 'no suicide' pledge (TUAW.com)

May 5th 2011 8:58PM I'm having a hard time figuring out how they will enforce this clause. After the person has killed themselves, its a bit moot what's in the clause.

White iPhone to arrive tomorrow (4/28) says Apple (TUAW.com)

Apr 27th 2011 10:18AM Yay. Now we can get back to news that is actually interesting instead of debating and obsessing about when a white iPhone will show up.

"Unpleasant Horse" shows Apple isn't afraid to reject big developers (TUAW.com)

Apr 10th 2011 2:38PM Yep. Its somewhat hard to tell if they were tweeting "tongue in cheek" or if they really thought they submitted it properly the first time.

5 things I want to see in iOS 5 (TUAW.com)

Apr 4th 2011 12:51PM Wow. If that was all Apple provided I would be sorely disappointed in ios5.

iPad/big screen:


Bring Control Center from Lion
Bring Spaces from Lion

Both:

Bring Dashboard from Lion (to support widgets)
LaunchPad from Lion (gather existing groupings of apps here)
... Apple should be able to bring the launchpad from Lion over to replace the existing desktop metaphor on the iPhone and use Dashboard as the new desktop without much issue whatsoever

Lock screen API
Speech Recognition and Synthesis API
Better Mapping solution with turn by turn directions
Off line notification API so apps not running can activate and do stuff
Support for latest OpenGL ES
Gamecenter overhaul - worst interface EVER
OTA application downloads
OTA iTunes library synch
Wallet API for NFC or other payments
FaceTime compression to support 3G connections
Open up the accessory API

Verizon launches 4G mobile hotspot (TUAW.com)

Mar 30th 2011 2:51PM I'm wondering what the AT&T options are in this area and whether or not they are better plays.

Xperia Play ad rags on iPhone gaming (TUAW.com)

Mar 26th 2011 6:43PM Good to see Sony putting together a competent ad team for a change. Still wouldn't make be by an Xperia though.

TUAW interviews David Helgason of Unity (part one) (TUAW.com)

Feb 28th 2011 9:51PM Wonderful wonderful press for one of the rising platform stars. If you're a creative and you haven't looked at and experimented with Unity - you need to have your head examined.
