iPhone assembly rumored begun; Apple faces touchscreen lawsuit

iPhone assembly rumored begun; Apple faces touchscreen lawsuit
Two separate rumors have Apple ramping up production of its 2009 iPhones, including possible new hardware details. However, the company may have hit a snag as a Taiwanese firm has sued it for allegedly violating a patent for touchscreen input.


Big Brother! ActyMac DutyWatch spies on your employees

Filed under: , , ,

Employers: do you want to know exactly what your employees are doing every second of the day on their Macs? Would you like to be able to log every keystroke they make, take screenshots of their Macs every once in a while, or even take pictures of them with the iSight that's built into their Mac to make sure that they're working? If so, ActyMac DutyWatch is just your cup of tea.

Without your employees knowing, you can monitor everything they post, open, and use. DutyWatch captures all keystrokes and logs every program that is launched or quit. If an employee uses certain keywords, DutyWatch sends you an email so you can scrutinize that person even more closely. DutyWatch also records every email, chat, website visit, or web search. Make sure that your employees aren't reading TUAW on your dime!

In the example above, your employee Michael has been spending a lot of time watching QuickTime movies and IM'ing in Adium. Of course, he'll lie to you and tell you that he's been watching training movies and texting the Miami office, but you've got just the proof you need to fire him. That'll get those other slackers in line!

You can purchase ActyMac DutyWatch for US$99.95 direct from the website, and quantity discounts are available.

Elan sues Apple for multitouch patent infringement
Remember all the fun everyone had watching Palm and Apple's legal wordplay regarding multitouch patents? If you missed it, Apple delivered a very thinly veiled threat to Palm, flouting how it had touch-sensitive intellectual rights up the wazoo to protect itself from the competition.

Ten crazy iPhone cases

Filed under: , , ,


I ended up going with an iSkin Revo for my iPhone as a thin little protective case, but now that I've seen some of these crazy cases, I'm reconsidering just a little bit. Who wouldn't want to encase your iPhone in what appears to be bacon, or try out the tactile iPhone case above (which transmits button presses to a customized home screen -- not something I'd want to use all the time, but it is wild and it has a purpose).

That Dexter case is cool too, though there are probably plenty of promotional cases out there. It's almost too bad -- when I picked up my plain black case, I was thinking a lot more about function than appearance. There's all kinds of cool things out there to put your iPhone in.

Apple WWDC Sessions partially Unveiled

Apple released part of the agenda of the forthcoming WWDC sessions. Most of them will be dedicated to the iPhone OS 3.0 to provide answers to numerous developers rushing to get applications available on this platform. Some sessions are specifically dedicated to specific functions, such as the one dealing with the new copy/paste feature.  
Snow Leopard is currently not officially presented even though 3 sessions are dedicated to Open CL. Of course things might evolve and change till June, and Apple should distribute a beta version of Snow Leopard. For addition information: http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/sessions
