which requires monitoring of information from the credit card, and returns to a mirror Apple Store Although both Mail reported that GMail correctly the message as spam, some users could be drawn misled by the fact that the page of ‘user account MobileMe days from now presents a bug (see picture after the “leap” Editor’s note), and notes the presence of a problem with the credit card.

MacBook: new trackpad button without
By manoj | August 1, 2008
Goes back to two days ago, ‘indiscretion that wants a trackpad glass with multi-touch in the new MacBook. Analysts web have already talked about a possible screen under the glass of the new trackpad, but ComputerWorld has shifted attention to another issue: whether the new trackpad lost his only button?
The question is anything but easy answer. Indeed, it is unlikely that the new touchpad is used to the traditional way. The same Steve Jobs said in an interview to The New York Times that:
Multi-touch has drastically simplified way of controlling a computer
This could mean that traditional devices like the mouse (and his button) has begun the path of sunset.

iPod Nano multi-color coming soon?
By manoj | July 23, 2008
Like last year for the first photos of the iPod Nano, even 9to5Mac returns this summer with a new indiscretion provided by the same source in Asia: there is talk of new iPod Nano multi-color, with storage capacity doubled and new feature, soon arrival.
Unfortunately there is to know neither type fantasies, or some of the possible colors that form the houses of this new range of iPod Nano multicolor. Unlike the previous year, this new rumor on the iPod Nano is not followed by any image.
To tell stories, I recall that Apple did remove the pictures of “Fat Nano” 9to5Mac published on its pages a few days after their appearance. It initiates the assumptions on the launch date and specification of piccolino home Apple.

By manoj | July 18, 2008
New announcement on the blog Dev Team. The work proceeds quickly but there is a bitter surprise: at the time the so-called PwnageTool 2.0, many hacks are possible, except one: the unlock of iPhone 3G.
It seems that the ‘elegant software tool that are working will include:
The activation unlock and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPhone of the first generation with firmware 2.0
The activation and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPod Touch with firmware 2.0
The activation and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPhone 3G with firmware 2.0
The problem would appear to be small, if we consider that in Italy you can buy an iPhone and use it with any operator without the need for dangerous hack the firmware. But certainly break the eggs in the basket to those who had planned a visit to the neighboring Switzerland, where 3G iPhone is cheaper but is bound, precisely, through the SIM lock.

The handset whose patents have the particularity of being converted into a tablet simply by sliding the screen to cover up the keyboard.

Once you’re back to talking about a laptop Multi Touch. Since years running networked computers rumor about this long-awaited by fans. The indiscretions, however, are increasingly precise and this could mean that the launch of this product is closer than we think… or maybe not!

By manoj | July 10, 2008
The Canadian soap opera continues but it seems to show a happy ending. After - doverosi - rimbrotti users on rates devoted to ‘iPhone 3G, the collection of signatures and the alleged embargo by Apple, Rogers gave grants and a flat data respectable.
The reconquest of customers affranta fact passes for a decidedly better than the previous year marks the bond underwriting of appalling Plans dedicated to iPhone to which you can now match any type of plan. In addition, it was introduced a flat data, at an additional cost of $ 30 Canadian (about 19 €), offers 6 GB of monthly traffic.
And who knows that even the ‘italica petition - approve of Canadian - fails to ensure similar results. For now, we hope 6111 Italians proudly.

Apple press heavily on his App Store, the same patron of the company says: When IBM launched the PC, this is not decollò until people are not discovered software.

Not all stores will be equipped with the dedicated location, but if your shop had no, you can go to another shop to perform the procedure.
