Samsung requests iPhone 4S source code in Australian court
Samsung continues is counter-assault on Apple in Australia, now requesting that Apple show it the the subsidy agreements that the company has with the Australian carriers and also the source code to the iPhone 4S firmware.
Samsung's attorneys told the court that the company needed both the carrier agreements and the firmware source code in order to prove that there are grounds for a ban of the iPhone 4S in Australia. Samsung alleges that the technology used in the iPhone 4S infringes on three of its patents. According to Apple, Samsung had agreed to license those patents under the Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory terms (FRAND) standard.

Apple staff: Tim Cook more administrative, open than Jobs
Recently appointed Apple CEO Tim Cook is making some, though not fundamental, changes in the approach to management over the late Steve Jobs, insiders disclosed Tuesday. While he's already known to more actively contact staff, the Wall Street Journal sources also understood that he was overseeing tasks common to CEOs but which Jobs had seldom involved himself with, such as corporate reporting and promotions. Cook is described as more "accessible" and, during Jobs' second tenure, was often an advisor on how to approach the co-founder on a given subject.

Smartphone wars: Android "has half of the UK smartphone market"
Kantar Worldpanel ComTech -- a prominent market research firm and a powerful figure on the Scrabble board -- today released its latest "smartphone OS barometer" report, and it has some noteworthy conclusions in it about the British market. Specifically, the report claims that in the 12 weeks ending 2nd October 2011, iOS market share in the UK was 18.5% whereas Android was more than two-and-a-half times that -- 49.9% of all new smartphone sales. Apple's share at this time last year was 32.9%, compared to 28.8% for Android. In the US, Kantar's numbers show an even stronger tilt in Android's favour: 66.4% Android, 21.5% iOS.
Beyond the head-line grabbing Apple-vs-Android story, there is other interesting data in the report. In the UK

Twelve South's PlugBug solves all your charging needs

Lego CD / DVD ripper lets you drop your physical media -- literally (video)
If the only thing standing between you and a full abandonment of physical media is the tedious task of ripping all of your CDs and DVDs, boy have we got the Lego-based gadget for you. Paul Rea whipped up this little beauty -- it's an Arduino-powered Lego arm that swings to pick up a disc, deposit it in the drive and then drop it (perhaps a bit too literally) into a finished pile. It's not quite perfect -- the arm is a bit loud as it moves, and anyone who's ever owned CDs or DVDs may likely grimace as the thing tosses finished discs into a pile, but it's an entertaining break from what can ultimately prove an arduous task.

Two new Mac malware concerns: Tsunami and DevilRobber
As reported yesterday by Computerworld, there are two malware threats for OS X to concern yourself with (temporarily). The first, Tsunami, isn't much of a threat yet. The other, DevilRobber, may be slowing your Mac down as we speak. Here's more info on each of them.

Basically a ported version of some rather old Linux malware, Tsunami isn't being seen widely just yet. Still, the trojan appears to be evolving, and has even been updated for Ma

Apple iTV: Erste Entwürfe des Apple Fernsehers
Die Gerüchte, dass Apple mit einem eigenen Fernseher die TV-Branche revolutionieren will, halten weiterhin an. So konnte man unter anderem einem Bericht der renommierten New York Times entnehmen, dass das Gerät bereits Ende 2012 vorgestellt werden könnte und dass der Fernseher mit Apples Sprachsteuerung Siri, die im iPhone 4S zum Einsatz kommt, bedient werden soll.
Aufgrund der zahlreichen Meldungen rund um den iTV machten sich nun erste Designer an die Arbeit und fertigten sogenannte Mockups an, also Entwürfe, die das neue Apple iTV laut deren Vorstellungen zeigen könnten. Der Designer Guilherme M. Schasiepen veröffentlichte

It doesn't seem as if too much is changing -- outside of the shrunken display options, of course.

How not to buy an iPhone overseas
It kind of seems like I can't catch a break when it comes to iPhone launches. The first iPhone debuted a little over a year before I left the US and moved to New Zealand. I knew the move was coming, so signing (then breaking) a two-year contract with AT&T didn't make sense. I also wasn't prepared to pay US$599 for a cell phone. "That's more than my PlayStation 3 cost!" I said at the time. (Guess which device I use more often now.)
The iPhone 3G launched in New Zealand eight days after I moved here, and the color drained from my face when I saw how much Vodafone was charging for it. Vodafone once again

The latest mobile browser metrics from NetMarketShare show that Safari continues to gain market share. Since December 2010, Safari's share of the mobile browser market has increased from 49.17% to its current level of 62.17%. Android has also increased, but its growth rate is much slower than mobile Safari. Android ended last year at 11.50% and is now grabbing 18.65% of the mobile browser market.
Android and iOS are on the increase, but all the other mobile browsers are slipping. The biggest loser is Opera Mini which dropped 13.37 percentage points, falling from 26.49% in December 2010 to 13.12% in October 2011.

iPhone 4S Akku: Tipp für mehr Laufzeit – Zeitzone deaktivieren
Ein neues iPhone, ein neues Sorgenkind! Sorgte das Antennen-Problem beim iPhone 4 noch für schlechte Stimmung, strapaziert beim iPhone 4S dagegen der schwache Akku die Nerven der User. Als mögliche Ursache wird das neue Betriebssystem iOS 5 gehandelt. Allen voran die Zeitzone.
Zahlreiche unabhängige Tests haben dem iPhone 4S eine sehr schwache Akkuleistung ausgestellt. Nicht selten hält das Apple Smartphone gerade einmal halb so lange durch wie beim Vorgänger. Nicht nur in Cupertino macht sich Verzweiflung und Ratlosigkeit breit, sondern natürlich auch bei allen iPhone 4S-Besitzern. In so einem Fall liegt die Hoffnung darin, dass sich das Problem schon irgendwann wie von selbst lösen wird.

Daily iPhone App: Fara
Fara is quite a game. The gameplay itself new -- in fact, the script even jokes that the hack-and-slash, Zelda-style title has been done before (by a guy in a green cap). It's Fara's style that's special. The backgrounds and characters are all hand-painted, and the script's self-referential writing push Fara past its humble gameplay mechanics. Plus, the intro hints at a much larger premise
Fara offers some fun physics twists and the touch controls are well executed. Most of your moves a swipe or a tap, yet I felt fully in control of the character's actions. That's a great sign with an action game like this.
There's a lot of mystery in Fara. So much so that casual gamers might be turned off by its reliance on gaming

Sophos warnt vor neuem Trojaner OSX/Miner-D
Ende vergangener Woche wurde ein neuer Trojaner entdeckt, der es auf Mac-Anwender abgesehen hat. Wie der Antiviren-Spezialist Sophos berichtet, versteckt sich OSX/Miner-D in einer manipulierten File-Sharing-Version des GraphicConverter 7.4, um von dort aus das System zu infiltrieren. Möglicherweise wird auch andere bekannte Software genutzt, um den Trojaner zu verbreiten. Die eingeschleuste Schadsoftware hat es nicht nur auf sensible Dat

Tag Finder: Intelligentes Namensschild für mehr Stringenz am Gepäckband
Filed under: Lifestyle
Ist ja auch wirklich nichts mehr los, im Hardschalenkoffer-Design. Da kann es vorkommen, dass man aus Versehen den falschen vom Gepäckband nimmt und die Verwechslung zu spät bemerkt. Da kommt der Tag Finder wie gerufen. Der Adress-Anhänger am Koffer versucht konstant das entsprechende Gegenstück, das man bei sich trägt, anzufunken, können beide Kontakt aufnehmen, wird - zumindest im Konzept, wie wild losgepiept. Das ist beim klassichen Samsonite-Geschäftsflug natürlich Garant für Verwirrung, Kuddelmuddel und latente Kopfschmerzen nach der Ankunft, könnte bei weiterer Verfeinerung des Konzepts aber mehr als nützlich sein.

"Unsichtbares Glas" will spiegelnden Bildschirmen den Garaus machen
Filed under: Displays
Gehören unangenehm spiegelnde Displays bald der Vergangenheit an? Wenn das neue "unsichtbare Glas" von Nippon Electric Glass hält was sein Name verspricht, dann reduziert es Spiegelungen so stark, dass es kaum zu sehen ist. Der Vergleich zwischen normalem Glas (links) und dem neuen Produkt (rechts) fällt zumindest im Foto oben extrem überzeugend aus. Der Webseite Tech-On zufolge wurde das Spezialglas auf beiden Seiten mit einem Film versehen, der aus insgesamt etwa 30 Schichten besteht. Dank dieser Behandlung lässt das "unsichtbare Glas" angeblich 99,5 Prozent des einfallenden Lichts passieren, und nur 0,5 Prozent wird reflektiert. Bei normalem Glas

Texas Sheriff's office receives weaponizable drone, alarms local news station
Ready to supersize your favorite RC helicopter and bullseye some perps with an aerial bean bag launcher? The Sheriff's office in Montgomery County, Texas is, and it's really freaking out the local news. KPRC Local 2 News feverishly asks if the Sheriff's new unmanned Shadowhawk helicopter is a safety asset, or a privacy violation -- we just think it's awesome. Built and sold by Vanguard Defense Industries, this wireless whirlybird comes equipped with a remote video camera, an infrared heat-seeking device and an onboard GPS. It's also capable of carrying weapons, although the Sheriff said that there were no plans to weaponize the UAV. The 50-poun

However, this iteration is "full-color," which besides pleasing ROY G. BIV fans, makes it "more intuitive," as the company reasons it'll aid drivers i

Acer outs AZ3, AZ5, Veriton Z Series all-in-ones, starting at $650
Not wanting to be left behind by the AIO hordes, Acer has unveiled a trio of new options for your spick and span desktop. The higher-end AZ5 provides a 23-inch expanse of full HD, multi-touch glory, a minimum Core i3-2120 processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and a 1TB HDD, all for the sum of $750. Next up is the AZ3, which saves you $100 by cutting the screen size to 21 inches, switching to an AMD dual-core A4 APU (along with a discreet Radeon HD6410) and slimming the HDD down to 500GB. Both models come with an adjustable stand, two side-mounted USB 3.0 ports (plus four USB 2.0 ports on the rear) and a built-in webcam and mic. Meanwhile, Acer's new Veriton all-in-ones ta

It will presumably include starring and may have recent but now established features like Priority Inbox sorting as well as possible improvements for contact IDs, a new threading layout, and much more in-depth searching.

iClip makes a comeback, now on the Mac App Store
It's always fantastic to see a good app make a comeback, and iClip is one of those apps. Developer Steven Audette of Irridated Software acquired iClip from its original developers and has released version 5.0 nearly five years after the software had its last major upgrade, now officially supporting Snow Leopard and Lion.
iClip is a clipboard and scrapbook utility that allows the user to keep a copy of almost anything that's sent to the clipboard, instead of the last item. iClip is hidden off the side of the Mac's screen, so when the cursor is moved to the side of the screen, iClip pops out right away. It also utilizes hotkeys, drag and drop and 1-click shortcuts.

Alert: New Mac malware hiding in pirated graphics software
Anti-malware makers Sophos and Intego have warned of a new Mac OS X Trojan Horse that hides inside pirated software, specifically GraphicConverter v7.4. The malware, known as OSX/Miner-D or "DevilRobber," steals GPU time to generate counterfeit Bitcoins (part of anonymous digital cash system) and also attempts to steal usernames and passwords through periodic screen captures. It also sends information about the Mac's security setup and browsing history to a remote server.

Daily iPad App: Codify
I've been diving into some rudimentary (very rudimentary, trust me) iOS coding lately, and as soon as I picked up an iPad, one of the first thoughts that occurred to me was the idea of having a version of Xcode (the IDE that Mac and iOS developers use to make their apps) available for the platform. There are plenty of text editors available, and even some designed to actually write code on Apple's tablet. But I haven't seen a way to actually run that code -- until now, that is, with Codify.
To be clear, Codify isn't a Cocoa development tool like Xcode, so you still can't write and run iOS apps right on the device (though I have to believe Apple is indeed work

On the Mac Pro's future
The Mac Pro is a strange outlier among Apple's products. It's insanely powerful, but it's priced out of the reach of most mortals. It's by far Apple's most "traditional" computer; the Mac Pro is a tower you can crack open and customize quite easily, far different from its sealed-up cousins the iMac, Mac mini, and the MacBook line. The Mac Pro's design is positively ancient by Apple's standards, with only minor cosmetic alterations since its predecessor, the Power Mac G5, debuted in 2003. It's also a neglected product, las

Varley's evR450 all-electric supercar set to hit Australian roads next year
As Autoblog Green points out, Australia's Varley Electric Vehicles is known more for bulky industrial vehicles than high-end sports cars, but the company's now looking to change that perception with its new all-electric evR450 supercar. While it'll no doubt turn a few heads simply standing still, it also looks to measure up reasonably well under the hood, boasting a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour (or 124 MPH) and a zero to 100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds. The company's also promising a range of 150 kilometers (or 93 miles) that can be doubled with an optional range-extension pack, although its not letting anyone actually drive the car just yet (or even look under the hood, for that matter).

An unverified rumor maintains that Hulu Plus has a largely complete app waiting to be upgraded into the Apple TV. The TV streaming service has supposedly been ready for "at least a month" but has supposedly been on hold for competitive reasons, 9to5 heard. While Netflix is considered acceptable both out of sheer demand and its emphasis on older shows, Hulu Plus focuses mostly on new content and might cut into iTunes.

Report: iOS and Android apps fighting for retention, not discovery
The latest Flurry report has an interesting insight for app developers. Over the last few years, as apps have gained more and more attention and users, discovery has been one of the biggest issues developers face: Most devs spend a lot of their time post-release just trying to tell as many people as possible about their app, so they can actually find it in the store and buy it. But Flurry now says that because of the growing amount of tools out there for app discovery, the biggest problem faced by apps isn't getting found anymore. It's trying to get customers to stick around.
As you can see above, app user retention drops off sharply after the first month of usage, and only gets worse from ther
