What Is Thunderbolt And Will It Change Your Life?
Though you’re probably hearing about it for the first time now, Intel’s been working on a new interconnection technology for the last few years. “Light Peak”, as it was called up until it was rebranded “Thunderbolt” today, promises a new world of screaming-fast data transfers. The claims are spectacular: 10 gigabit per second transfers (both upload and download!), dual protocol support, and power over the cable. Light Peak… excuse me, Thunderbolt, is truly the interconnect of the future.Apple Has Already Approved The Official Google Voice App For iPhone, Expect It Soon

Apple Should Own The Living Room
While there are a lot of video based hardware devices in the market all competing for the living room, today, none of them have the three essential components needed to be declared the winner. To truly have a shot at owning the living room, you need the content consumers want, the software platform to control the content and an install base of devices capable of reaching a large enough audience. Today, so much of what we hear about regarding these broadband enabled devices is the hardware, but that's the least important part. With Internet connected functionality being built into nearly every device associated with the TV, stand-alone boxes are not the path for long-term success. The path to the living room is not a hardware play.I could write all day about what Steve Jobs said at the D8 conference last night, but why bother when you can hear from the man himself. Here are some clips on the topics we all want to hear Jobs’ views.

By Neil Hughes Published: 01:25 PM EST (10:25 AM PST) A new lawsuit filed in California takes aim at Apple's forthcoming iAd mobile ad network, alleging that the name is in violation of a registered trademark and will deceive consumers. Innovate Media Group LLC sued Apple last week, accusing the iPhone maker of two counts of trademark infringement, two counts of unfair competition, and one count of common law injury to business reputation. Innovate Media has alleged that it coined the term "iAds" in 2006, a name it uses for its video delivery technology. Founded by John Cecil, a Yahoo alumni, in 2002, Costa Mesa, Calif., company produces online video advertisements for delivery over the Web. Innovate Ads, or "iAds," became the delivery mechanism for the company since 2006.

15 Futuristic Gadgets Apple Is Dreaming Up (And Patenting)
Apple recently filed a patent application for a heart sensor built in to an iPhone casing that would serve as a biometric security device. That sounds straight out of science-fiction, but it's just another day at the Apple patent factory. Apple is constantly filing new patents for awesome-sounding new technology. Some of that tech ends up as terrific, real-life gadgets; much of it never comes to anything. There are too many patent applications flowing out of Cupertino to keep track of easily. Fortunately, there's Patently Apple , a blog dedicated exclusively to monitoring Apple innovation.
Apple secrecy is bitter fruit on Hill - Kim Hart - POLITICO.com
Apple is famous for its veil of secrecy around the new iPads and iPhones. But Sen. John Rockefeller and others in Congress wonder whether the company has more than technological innovations to hide. When Apple didn’t participate in an April hearing on children’s online privacy, the West Virginia Democrat who chairs the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, gave voice to his suspicions. “When people don’t show up when we ask them to ... all it does is increases our interest in what they’re doing and why they didn’t show up,” Rockefeller said of Apple and Google, which both declined to testify. “It was a stupid mistake for them not to show up, and I say shame on them.”L’un des principaux arguments de vente du iPad est sont potentiel en tant que “liseuse”. L’application iBooks ainsi que l’application Kindle d’Amazon donnent ainsi accès à une immense bibliothèque de livres dans un format assez standardisé, qui consiste à faire défiler les pages horizontalement, reproduisant ainsi sur écran l’expérience ancestrale de la lecture sur papier. Les magazines sur iPad, eux, sont plus imaginatifs. Comme nous l’avons déjà mentionné , les applications créés pour les magazines version iPad incluent tout un tas de choses : des vidéos musicales au sein des pages, des contenus interactifs et des publicités sur lesquelles on peut cliquer, etc. Le seul problème, avec ces magazines interactifs, c’est que chacun d’entre eux propose un mode d’interaction particulier, avec une vision spécifique de l’interactivité.

iPad Destroys Netbook Business
Philip Elmer-Dewitt picks up an amazing chart from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty. The chart shows what has happened to netbook sales since the announcement and introduction of the iPad: Morgan Stanley Netbooks, you'll recall, were by far the fastest-growing segment of the PC market. Everyone was ga-ga about Netbooks. Apple was getting griped about for refusing to offer a netbook (because it couldn't make one that it didn't think sucked).
