Following a three year lawsuit in which Apple attempted to force Mac fan-site Think Secret to reveal the names of industry sources leaking privileged information, a settlement has been made that will see the site take its tipsters identity to the grave.
“Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret’s publisher, said ‘I’m pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits’” Think Secret Official Statement

Aftermarket earphones for the iPhone often call for a decision between either high-quality music or having a microphone for hands-free use; of course, there are choices which have the functionality of both, but they’re usually expensive. Ultimate Ears, who already have a strong reputation for audiophile-pleasing headphones, have announced their latest addition to the Super.fi range: the 4vi designed especially for the iPhone.

Sony has taken Apple’s two-fingered MultiTouch and raised them to five, meaning that we could soon see devices from the Japanese giant that recognise all the digits of a user’s hand. Unlike the Apple system, as featured on the iPhone and the iPod Touch, which can track either one finger for selection or dragging, or two fingers for zooming control, the Sony LCD panel is an identical size (3.5-inches) but is able to differentiate between up to five different points of contact or, alternatively, a stylus.

If you happen to live in a very cold area within the United States, don’t bother using the weather application on your iPhone. The weather application does not display negative Fahrenheit temperatures and just replaces them with 0F. If you’re using Celsius, the application for some reason displays negative temperatures. This was pointed out by a person in Alaska who posted on the Apple discussion boards.
I live in Alaska. The temps here have all been below zero F or more than -18C but the weather reported on the iPhone never goes below zero F. right now it is -13F and going to Yahoo says this but the iPhone shows 0F.

Over at the Hackint0sh forums, a couple of people decided to unlock their iPhone, little did they know, opening their phone after completing the software, was not such a great idea. At least they now have a door stop, brick, frisbee, and tons of other useful tasks.
We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.
