    Apple could take over some design elements of the IOS for the new version 10.7 of Mac OS X. So werde das neue Mac-Betriebssystem, das den Namen “Lion” tragen dürfte, jüngsten Gerüchten zufolge die minimalistischen Scroll-Balken der iOS-Ger?te übernehmen. Thus, the new Mac operating system, which should bear the name “Lion” to take over recent rumors that the minimalist scroll bar to the IOS device.

    According to information from MacStories will the scrolling of the new Mac OS X elastic “his” and a “Pull to refresh” feature feature.The former will cause the scrolling behavior of a rubber band similar when the user reaches the edge of the window. What exactly MacStories with pull to Refresh “means, or how the well-known feature of some iPhone apps could be applied sensibly to the desktop operating system, says the site is not, however.

    The QuickLook feature of the operating system will not be a transparent, black window anymore, but instead appear on a white background. Apple will integrate the feature even better with Spotlight and view additional information about the found file – in general, it looks as if Apple wanted to spotlight closer to the rest of the system.

     
  • Apple is planning commercial circuit for video on iOS

    A dedicated Apple-tender of the NewTeeVee speculation and several anonymous sources relied on, could facilitate the placement of advertisements by Apple is simply taking care of the technical side. For Apple, this meant additional revenue and a way of making the on IOS-based set-top box Apple TV for content providers financially attractive.

  • How open is Apple’s new operating system?

    A few hours after the release of iOS 4.1 for iPhone and Co. for this is the first hacks appeared. Now several reports about a fundamental security problem that Apple could have built into the new version of its handheld operating system.
    While the iPhone Dev Team iOS 1.4 initially as a “trap”, called hackers have now include a path found at the new location stored signatures of iOS 1.4 read on how a Twitter post of the iPhone hacker “pod2g” is apparent.
    The reason for the excitement of the hacker scene: Apple has iOS 4.0 and 4.1 closed numerous security holes. Such errors, however, are the foundation to even inject code into the devices and work around so Apple’s barrier against unauthorized programs.
    For years, Apple and the hackers here provide a cat-and-mouse game. One of the most long-lived attacks, the long could not be prevented, was directed for example against the firmware of the radio modules. But can a smart phone manufacturers often change themselves. In addition, it was at times possible, an iPhone just by visiting a malicious website to unlock . In this case, an error in the browser is the gateway.
    As the UK site The Register reported , Apple has become a new boot ROM but perhaps basic security problem is capture. Comparable to a PC’s BIOS controls the boot ROM to load the operating system. As The Register claims to have learned of several iPhone hackers to the recent attacks aimed directly at the boot ROM and the block in which it lies.
    It is still unclear whether this is a non-rewritable ROM or a flash component. If the code of the boot ROMs do not have to upgrade via software, the so-equipped devices without hardware changes would be continuously exposed to attacks. All delivered since November 2009 IOS devices, ie iPhone, iPod touch, according to The Register should have the ROM in question.
     
  • Apple TV will use as well iOS system

    We had talked before his official announcement that Apple TV will use the system iOS iPhone and iPad and suddenly we imagined even applications on TV with this machine reconsidered.
    In fact, during the presentation , the interface of the Apple TV appeared almost similar to the previous version and nothing was thought to iOS expected.
    But using files of iOS 4.2 released in beta this week , the strings that had been thinking about the arrival of a new iPad were eventually proven to match the Apple TV, which is a Apple’s new product using iOS home!
    What can we deduct? Several hypotheses!
    Apple was not ready to open the Apple TV to third-party applications and launched into a version that would evolve through an update in the future, for example to host applications, but this will require sufficient memory, this remains a unknown.
    Or second hypothesis, more conservative, Apple makes its iOS house system deployed on all Mac products out without using all possibilities according to the material. Incidentally, I will not be at all surprised that the iPod Nano in its latest version also loads a iOS …
    Finally, we know that many hackers have expanded the possibilities of the old Apple TV, then from there to imagine that developers are looking at the hack of the board for iOS to run applications, there one step … It’s reminiscent of 2007 and the launch of the iPhone third party applications without V1
