Say, Charles -- it's been awhile! But we're pleased as punch to see that you're back to your old ways, poking around within OS X's mainframe just looking for ways to remotely control the system, snag credit card data and download a few interoffice love letters that are carefully stashed 15 folders down within 'Documents.' The famed Apple security expert is planning yet another slam on OS X at CanSecWest, where he'll reveal no fewer than 20 zero day security holes within OS X. According to Miller, "OS X has a large attack surface consisting of open source components, closed source third-party components and closed source Apple components; bugs in any of these types of components can lead to remote compromise." He also goes on to reemphasize something he's been screaming for years: "Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." In other words, Apple users are "safer" (due to the lack of work that goes into hacking them), "but less secure." So, is this a weird way of applying for a security job in Cupertino, or what?Charlie Miller to reveal 20 zero day security holes in Mac OS X originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:29:00 EST.

It’s not a secret that for years, Apple has had a huge impact on designers across the globe. Apple has always able to found an extremely effective way to deliver its message via their products to a wide audience and their design is often a key source of inspiration for everyone who is related to design field. It’s very easy to find that many designers often use the key design elements of apple’s product in their artwork which are simplicity, readability, presentation and accessibility. So no wonder that no other company has managed to come up with such a brilliant appearance on the web via their products.
There is nothing wrong in to taking design inspiration from the design elements of apple’s product or iPhone itself, as long as you are not copying them completely. Below, you’ll find a collection of iPhone inspired web designs which are more or less following the same design features and trend as iPhone.
Technically, Inspiration refers to a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul due to unconscious burst of creativity in a literary, musical, or other artistic endeavour. Inspiration is an overall feeling of excitement, energy and confidence or positive belief in self.
So Again, Inspiration is something different then copying or stealing. Of Course, they are related to some extant but there are enough talk already happened in past to draw the lines in between. It’s also often heard by designers that “Good Designers Copy, Great Designers Steal“. No one knows for sure as some people believes that “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination” [Link].

In terms of design, iPhone is a very good example of both simplicity and sharpness together. Apple’s look and feel has played a major role in their popularity. Every time they able to break new grounds with latest features just because of their clean appearance and stunning graphics.
Throughout history, great artists always found new ways to show their creativity to express themselves and create new trends and techniques to remark their work apart from the rest of the crowd. They also need inspiration just like everyone. Inspiration is what calls you to action in making your dream a reality. The Definition of design is more critical in modern terms as now design is a way of communication; and, more specifically, Web design is a well define platform for content. There is no “Good” and “Bad” in design. It always define as a “Different”. Of course, Many of these sites are the application site of iPhone itself. So, its kind of obvious that their designs are going to inspired by iPhone but the main thing to concentrate here is the way they utlizing this inspiration in their web designs.
While compiling this list, it’s always a possibility that we missed some other inspirational resources. Feel free to share it with us.

Now, let's compare that to the verbiage found in the iPhone's battery replacement program details:"If your iPad requires service due to the battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee."
We can see the puzzled look on your face from here, and we're sharing in the same disbelief. Apple is actually saying that it won't bother cracking open your withered iPad, replacing the battery and sending it back your way; instead, you'll pay $105.95 (including shipping) for a completely different iPad, which certainly has its pros and cons. On one hand, you're getting a new (or potentially refurbished, actually) iPad in around "one week," but on the other, you'll be waving goodbye to every morsel of personal data on the device that you send in -- unless you backup beforehand, of course. Here's Apple's take on answering "will the data on my iPad be preserved?""If your iPhone requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will service your iPhone for a service fee."
Lovely, don'tcha think? Head on past the break for the full text."No. You will receive a replacement iPad that will not contain any of your personal data. Before you submit your iPad for service, it is important to sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information when servicing your iPad."

Apple's pushing out a few more scraps of info about the iPad in conjunction with the launch of pre-orders. One of the quirkier details is that what was previously known as the mute switch on the iPad -- similar to the one on the iPhone -- is now known as the "screen rotation lock" on Apple's website. We suppose it makes more sense for this sort of device, both due to the "hold it any way you feel like" marketing push, and since it's less likely to start ringing in the middle of a Remember Me screening than your iPhone is. In other news, it's been confirmed that iBooks will be able to sync free (non-DRM'd) ePub titles in from iTunes, which is good news for people who want to use an existing ePub stash of theirs with Apple's fancy page-flipping interface. Also on the books front, it was clarified today that the iPad can indeed use VoiceOver screen-reading for reading pages of books out loud -- we knew the screen reading tech was on the iPad, but now it sounds as if it will be more directly integrated into iBooks. Apple also clarified today that folks who sign up for the 250MB iPad data plan will receive pop-up alerts when they're running short on data, similar to battery warnings, at the 20 percent, 10 percent and zero marks. There's an account management pane that lets you sign up for or cancel service, add another 250MB, or swap to an unlimited plan. But wait, there's more! Apple's also confirming a few more iPhone OS 3.2 features, like the addition of Google's "Terrain" view in maps and a slightly revamped iPod app UI. 3.2 also brings some nice video tweaks like support for additional formats (AVI and MJPEG) and native uploads to Facebook -- further boosting the iPad's external camera friendliness.iPad mute switch magicked into a 'screen rotation lock' overnight, a flurry of other tidbits emerge originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:34:00 EST.
