		<description><![CDATA[Apple TV is beefing up its catalog of TV shows, movies and sports, with the addition of HBO Go and WatchESPN. Previously, the only way to watch content from either channel was through their respective iOS apps, using AirPlay to beam the video to Apple TV. Now, they&#8217;re available directly through Apple&#8217;s $99 set-top box. (Disclosure: HBO is owned by Time Warner, which also owns TIME&#8211;for now.) The only catch is that not all users will be able to watch these new streaming video sources. Both HBO Go and WatchESPN require you to already get these respective channels as part of an existing TV subscription. Even then, the ability to stream on Apple TV requires the participation of your television provider. (Here are lists of supporting providers for HBO Go and WatchESPN.) Apple TV has come a long way since its 2010 revamp, when the only options for streaming video were iTunes, Netflix and YouTube. The box&#8217;s streaming video offerings now include Hulu Plus, Vimeo, Wall Street Journal Live, MLB.tv, NHL GameCenter and NBA League Pass. The number of apps is still smaller than other boxes, such as Roku, but there are a lot more options if you have an iPhone or iPad with AirPlay support. Last month, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company has sold more than 13 million Apple TV boxes to date. About half of those sales have come in the last year.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=165037&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you could name one feature&#8211;and only one feature&#8211;that would make your next computer more useful, what would you choose? Everybody&#8217;s entitled to his or her own opinion, of course. I know what mine would be: much better battery life. The sort of battery life that might let me go out for the day and work as much as I pleased, without even having to hunt for a wall outlet. I&#8217;ve craved that for as long as I&#8217;ve used laptops. It&#8217;s one  reason why I&#8217;ve lately been using my iPad, with its reliable 10 hours on a charge, more than any Mac or Windows PC. It&#8217;s also why I&#8217;ve been salivating over Intel&#8217;s newest processors in ways I can&#8217;t remember salivating over processors in…well, maybe ever. Code-named &#8220;Haswell&#8221; and officially known as the fourth-generation Core processor family, these chips are capable, Intel says, of doubling battery life while retaining strong performance. No previous PC processor line has ever claimed anything like that sort of great leap forward in power efficiency. Haswell is a big, big deal, and it&#8217;s the major reason why Apple&#8217;s newest MacBook Airs are a big deal. Announced during Apple&#8217;s news-packed WWDC 2013 keynote, they&#8217;re the first Apple portables with Intel&#8217;s new processors; among the first from any hardware maker, actually, since Intel only announced Haswell one week before WWDC began. In terms of industrial design and major features, the new Airs, in their aluminum unibody cases, are nearly indistinguishable from their predecessors stretching back to the versions that Apple introduced in October 2010. That&#8217;s not a criticism: The original 13&#8243; and 11&#8243; models set out to be pleasing, general-purpose portable computers that happen to be unusually thin, light and fast, and succeeded so well that they inspired an entire class of Windows notebook, the Ultrabook. The most interesting new Ultrabooks, such as Sony&#8217;s notebook/tablet VAIO Duo hybrid, are hardly MacBook Air knockoffs, but the Airs remain the defining modern lightweight laptops. (The 13&#8243; model weighs in at 2.96 pounds, the 11&#8243; one at 2.38 pounds.) And they run<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164998&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sleeper game news out of WWDC last week was that Apple plans to fold actual Apple-baked game controller support into iOS 7 as well as OS X 10.9. Alas, it doesn&#8217;t entail an Apple-crafted controller, only third-party licensed game controller support, and yes, iOS already has game controller support courtesy Bluetooth; the difference in iOS 7 involves Apple&#8217;s new developmental guidelines and an API that goes hand-in-glove with Apple-blessed products from gamepad-makers like Logitech and Moga. Word from sites like Pocket Gamer is that the new controllers should be available this fall, around the time iOS 7 hits. We&#8217;ve even seen semi-detailed mockups of the controllers, laid out by Apple in its iOS prerelease developer library: a wraparound iPhone 5 shell harboring a d-pad, dual analog thumbsticks and both face and shoulder buttons (that&#8217;s it above) as well as a traditional wireless gamepad, presumably angled toward OS X gaming (shown below). According to Apple: &#8220;The new Game Controller framework, added in iOS 7 and OS X v10.9, makes it easy to find controllers connected to a Mac or iOS device. Once discovered, your game reads control inputs as part of its normal gameplay.&#8221; Apple breaks controllers into two basic types here: a standard or extended &#8220;form-fitting&#8221; controller (allowing players to access both the touchscreen and controller buttons) and a separate wireless controller. The company also specifies that the controllers &#8220;must be optional,&#8221; meaning there has to be a way to play each game without a controller; as Apple puts it, &#8220;controllers must enhance gameplay — they must not be required.&#8221; Apple adds that device discovery will be intrinsic to iOS 7 and OS X 10.9&#8242;s new &#8220;Game Controller framework.&#8221; For companies like iCade and SteelSeries, who already make iOS game controllers, that means no longer chasing after discrete game support &#8212; just design to the API and honor Apple&#8217;s &#8220;controllers must enhance gameplay&#8221; principle and you&#8217;re theoretically in business. That is news of a sort: Apple throwing its weight behind anything explicitly gaming-related is a big deal considering Apple&#8217;s historically timid embrace<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164818&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The tech industry has its own version of this riddle: hardware or software? The answer perhaps depends on whether you&#8217;re a hardware or software engineer, but in most cases, the answer is hardware. When Eddie Roberts built the first PC in 1974, he did so by putting a series of processors on a printed circuit board and built a hardware shell with a screen connected to it to form a PC. As history points out, what he needed next was software to make it run. For this, he turned to Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who created the first PC operating system for use with the Altair 8800. When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak wanted to make their own version of the Altair 8800, they built the PC hardware first and then created a dedicated set of software instruction codes to make it work. The result was the Apple I and II. And when IBM built its first PC, the company built a motherboard that used an Intel processor and onboard memory. But IBM too needed a software operating system to make it run. Like Roberts, they turned to Gates and Allen, and MS-DOS was born. In all these examples, the hardware platform came out first, followed closely by an operating system and, just as important, a dedicated software-development kit (SDK) that software developers could use to create applications for these hardware platforms. This pattern can be tracked to pretty much all of our smart-tech products. It starts with hardware, followed by a smart operating system, followed by an SDK. Apple created the iPhone and simultaneously built what&#8217;s now called iOS to give it intelligence. Apple then created an SDK for software developers to create apps for use on this device. The same goes for the iPad. And while Google appears to have done this in reverse by creating Android before the hardware to run it was created, the approach was similar. Andy Rubin knew very well that the hardware platform drove<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164775&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Among the many things that everybody knows about Apple which aren&#8217;t actually true is the notion that it only tells the world about products once they&#8217;re fully baked. In the case of operating systems&#8211;for Macs, iPhones and iPads&#8211;it always shows off new versions months before consumers can get their hands on them, when they&#8217;re still works in progress. That&#8217;s more by necessity than choice: The company needs to give third-party developers early access to upcoming upgrades so they can begin to get their apps ready. Usually, however, what Apple shows involves incremental change that&#8217;s easy to get your head around. It&#8217;s more of the same, only better, which is rarely a controversial proposition. Then there&#8217;s iOS 7, which Apple announced at last week&#8217;s WWDC keynote in San Francisco and plans to ship this fall. The seventh version of its mobile operating system is the first to depart&#8211;radically&#8211;from the general look and feel established by the first iPhone in 2007. It&#8217;s the most dramatic change to a piece of an Apple platform since OS X showed up to replace the Mac&#8217;s original operating system in 2000. With a stripped-down, layered interface spearheaded by Apple design god Jonathan Ive, iOS 7 practically demands that people form gut reactions about it, often before getting hands-on time. (The only people Apple is providing with a preview version are those who have signed up as iOS developers; they must sign a non-disclosure agreement that forbids them from publicly sharing their experiences with it.) And form gut reactions people have been doing&#8211;remarkably diverse ones. Here are a few sound bites from blog posts published within hours of the keynote&#8217;s end: John Gruber of Daring Fireball says iOS 7 is more impressive, in certain respects, than Steve Jobs-era iOS: This is the first product of the post-Jobs Apple. The result shows that in some ways Apple’s software design has gotten better, because it was Jobs (and Forstall) who had a penchant for exuberant textures and gimmickry. Frank Chimero thinks it looks like a rush job: Part of being<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164539&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; Apple says it received between 4,000 and 5,000 requests from U.S. law enforcement for customer data for the six months ended in May. The company, like some other businesses, had asked the U.S government to be able to share how many requests it received related to national security and how it handled them. Those requests were made as part of Prism, the recently revealed highly classified National Security Agency program that seizes records from Internet companies. Prism appears to do what its name suggests. Like a triangular piece of glass, Prism takes large beams of data and helps the government find discrete, manageable strands of information. Prism was revealed this month by The Washington Post and Guardian newspapers, and has touched off the latest round in a decade-long debate over what limits to impose on government eavesdropping, which the Obama administration says is essential to keep the nation safe. Apple Inc. said that between 9,000 and 10,000 accounts or devices were specified in data requests between Dec. 1, 2012, and May 31 from federal, state and local authorities and included both criminal investigations and national security matters. It said that the most common form of request came from police investigating robberies and other crimes, searching for missing children, trying to locate a patient with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, or hoping to prevent a suicide. The company also made clear how much access the government has. &#8220;We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer content must get a court order,&#8221; Apple said in a statement on its website. Apple explained that its legal team evaluates each request and that it delivers &#8220;the narrowest possible set of information to the authorities&#8221; when deemed appropriate. The company said that it has refused some requests in the past. Facebook Inc. has said that it received between 9,000 and 10,000 requests for data from all government agencies in the second half of last year. The social media company said fewer than 19,000<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164827&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; A top Apple Inc. executive described as Steve Jobs&#8217; right-hand man took the witness stand at a Manhattan price-fixing trial and denied scheming with major book publishers to drive up the cost of electronic books. Eddy Cue was questioned about meetings he had in 2009 with chief executives of publishing houses about what they called their &#8220;Amazon problem&#8221; &#8211; the discounted $9.99 price that Amazon.com set for e-books. &#8220;They expressed to us that they wanted higher prices,&#8221; he said. Cue was the chief negotiator in deals with the publishers that allowed them to set prices as high as $14.99 for sales in Apple&#8217;s new iBookstore. But he denied that the deals were calculated to force Amazon into similar agreements that would raise its prices as well. (MORE: Apple Unveils New Version of OS X, New Computers, iOS 7 and More) Jobs closely monitored the negotiations but was &#8220;indifferent&#8221; about the outcome for Amazon, Cue testified. However, when asked if Jobs knew that there was a chance that once the iBookstore launched, publishers would withhold best sellers and new releases from Amazon, he responded, &#8220;I believe so, sure. Smart guy.&#8221; Cue also claimed he had no knowledge that the publishers were colluding with each other as he negotiated with them, despite phone records showing their chief executives were in constant communication. &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe they were working together to do the deal I was working on,&#8221; Cue said. Cue, a senior vice president of Internet and Software Services at Apple, oversees the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore and iCloud services. He testified at a trial stemming from an antitrust lawsuit brought last year by the Justice Department accusing Apple and the publishers of harming consumers by devising a plan that allowed publishers to convert retailers into &#8220;agents&#8221; who were restricted from lowering the publisher-set retail price. The arrangement guaranteed Apple a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold. The five publishers settled with the government, but Apple took the case to trial, denying claims that its agreements<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164633&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SAN FRANCISCO (AP) &#8212; The top prosecutors in San Francisco and New York, seeking ways to curb thefts of mobile devices, said Monday they will reserve judgment of Apple&#8217;s new security feature designed to make it harder to reactivate a stolen iPhone. San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman have been asking the leading wireless device makers to create a &#8220;kill switch&#8221; that would render stolen phones useless. The prosecutors said they aren&#8217;t judging Apple&#8217;s new activation lock feature until they can fully determine its effectiveness. Apple mentioned the new feature Monday during the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. It&#8217;s part of iOS7, a new version of Apple&#8217;s smartphone software that&#8217;s set to be released in the fall. &#8220;We are appreciative of the gesture made by Apple to address smartphone theft. We reserve judgment on the activation lock feature until we can understand its actual functionality,&#8221; the prosecutors said in a joint written statement. Apple&#8217;s announcement comes as Gascon and Schneiderman are scheduled to co-host a &#8220;Smartphone Summit&#8221; Thursday in New York City with representatives from Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Almost 1 in 3 robberies nationwide involves the theft of a mobile phone, according to the Federal Communications Commission, which is coordinating formation this fall of a national database system to track cellphones reported stolen. Nearly 175 million cellphones &#8211; mostly smartphones &#8211; have been sold in the U.S. in the past year and account for $69 billion in sales, according to IDC, a Massachusetts-based research firm. Schneiderman said a recent study found that lost and stolen cellphones cost consumers more than $30 billion last year. In New York, police have coined the term &#8220;Apple-picking&#8221; to describe thefts of the popular iPhone and other mobile products like iPads. While Apple didn&#8217;t provide many specifics Monday, the new activation lock feature is designed to prevent thieves from turning off the Find My iPhone application, which allows owners to track their phone on a map, remotely set a passcode<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164512&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many news stories have there been recapping all the news from Apple&#8217;s WWDC keynote yesterday? Gazillions, if not more. And while I haven&#8217;t read all of them, I&#8217;m virtually positive that not a single one led with one bit from the middle of the event: Apple is getting ready to release iWork for iCloud, a fully browser-based version of its productivity suite, which includes the Pages word processor, Numbers spreadsheet and Keynote presentation tool. The fact that iWork for iCloud is being treated like a secondary story isn&#8217;t a shocker. Word processors, spreadsheets and presentation tools are not the stuff of headline news in 2013. But I, for one, was dazzled. iWork for iCloud looks&#8230;well, very much like the OS X and iOS versions of the suite. Which means it&#8217;s slick and beautiful. Even spreadsheets are eye-popping, with gorgeous charting features. The service supports Microsoft Office file formats and has access to documents stored on iCloud by the OS X and iOS versions of the suite. And everything works in Internet Explorer and Chrome on Windows, making this the first version of iWork that runs on non-Apple devices. Developers have access to a preview version right now; a public beta will roll out later this year. The usual disclaimers apply: It&#8217;s dangerous to judge anything based on an onstage presentation, since products that demo beautifully sometimes don&#8217;t work very well in real life, or are missing critical features. And iWork for iCloud is reminiscent of a previous Apple effort called iWork.com, which it announced with similar fanfare in 2009 as a beta, then killed last year having never fully rolled it out. Still, even if you don&#8217;t care about online productivity suites &#8212; or are perfectly happy with Google Docs or Microsoft&#8217;s Office Web Apps &#8211; iWork for iCloud has intriguing implications. Even among Apple fans, the conventional wisdom is pretty much that the company doesn&#8217;t understand the Internet and doesn&#8217;t know how to create first-rate web-based services. That may be a tad harsh, but there&#8217;s no question that Apple is<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164498&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; Apple unveiled an Internet radio service called iTunes Radio on Monday and said the service will personalize listeners&#8217; music based on what they&#8217;ve listened to and what they&#8217;ve purchased on iTunes. Apple said iTunes Radio will be available this fall in the U.S. It will be free with advertisements included, although subscribers of Apple&#8217;s iTunes Match music-storage service will get a commercial-free version of iTunes Radio. That service costs $25 a year. In unveiling the long-expected service Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, Apple enters a crowded field. Google Inc. started an on-demand subscription music service called All Access last month. Other leading services include Spotify, Rhapsody and Pandora. Apple was a pioneer of online music sales and is still a leader there, but streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify have emerged as popular alternatives to buying. Pandora relies on its users being connected to the Internet at all times and plays songs at random within certain genres for free. As with Pandora, iTunes Radio will let people create stations based on specific songs, artists or genres. So users can put in a particular song, and the station will play songs like it. Apple did not provide details on how the other songs will be determined. Pandora uses a formula to analyze songs based on musical and other characteristics. Users won&#8217;t be able to type in the name of a specific song and have it play right away. Pandora doesn&#8217;t allow that either. That&#8217;s something available through other services that charge monthly fees, including Spotify and Google&#8217;s All Access. Analysts were lukewarm. &#8220;This is a nice free feature that lots of people will probably try out, but existing Pandora users won&#8217;t have much reason to switch,&#8221; said Jan Dawson, chief telecoms analyst at Ovum, in an emailed comment. Dawson said a service that lets people call up specific songs on demand would have made a bigger splash, &#8220;but that would likely have disrupted Apple&#8217;s existing iTunes business, and the music industry as<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164399&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple opened up its 2013 Worldwide Developer Conference with a keynote address showcasing updates to the company&#8217;s OS X software, MacBook Air and Mac Pro hardware lines, and finished with a completely overhauled version of iOS, the software that runs on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch portables. (VIDEO: Let’s Talk About iOS 7, OS X Mavericks and More) Here are the highlights: OS X Mavericks Apple has brought the tradition of naming its computer operating system after cats to an end. From now on, the California-based company will name its software after places in California. The latest version, OS X 10.9 is called Mavericks, named after a surfing area not too far from Apple&#8217;s headquarters. The software won&#8217;t be ready for the public until the fall, but a handful of features were shown off today, including: Finder tabs: Instead of having multiple Finder windows open, you can merge those windows into a single window with multiple tabs. The feature is similar to how certain tabbed Web browsers work. Tags: When saving a document, you can assign certain tags to it (Important, Draft, In Review, etc.) and pull up files that share the same tags. Multiple displays: When using a second display, you can access the menu bar and dock on the extra screen. You can have a full-screen app open on each screen and drag assets between the two. Connecting to an Apple TV box via Airplay will turn the TV set that the box is connected to into a third display as well. Battery life: Mavericks uses power-optimization features such as compressed memory, reduction of CPU utilization and &#8220;App Nap,&#8221; which manages how apps get access to system resources. Safari: The Safari Web browser has been updated with a sidebar containing your bookmarks, Reading List and a section called Shared Links that contains only updates from people you follow on Twitter and LinkedIn that contain links to various Web content. iCloud Keychain: iCloud Keychain securely stores all the passwords you use for different websites on whichever Apple devices you use and automatically<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164375&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a line quoted by countless people — including Steve Jobs — computer-science visionary Alan Kay once said people who are serious about software should build their own hardware. He was right, of course, but the reverse is also true: people who are serious about hardware should make their own software. That&#8217;s why lots of folks underestimate the importance of Apple’s WWDC, which begins in San Francisco on Monday with a keynote that I&#8217;ll be liveblogging beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern time / 10 a.m. Pacific time. Leading up to the conference, it&#8217;s traditional for folks to obsess over any tangible, physical objects that the company might unveil: iPhones, iPads, Macs, possibly even devices in all-new categories. This line of thinking is usually a recipe for disappointment: WWDC is a conference for software developers, about software, and usually doesn&#8217;t feature the year&#8217;s biggest hardware announcements. But Apple the software company is at least as interesting as Apple the hardware company. The news it does make at WWDC — which, this year, will include the next versions of the Mac&#8217;s OS X operating system and the iPhone and iPad&#8217;s iOS — provides a clearer idea of where the company is going than any particular gadget does. And while I don&#8217;t know anything specific about Apple&#8217;s plans for 2013, I do know that this is a particularly pivotal year for Apple operating systems. For one thing, this is the first year that Apple&#8217;s industrial-design honcho Jonathan Ive is in charge of the user experience on the software side as well as for hardware — a particularly literal example of a person who&#8217;s serious about hardware making software, and vice versa. Most of the scuttlebutt about Ive&#8217;s influence on software has related to a possible &#8220;flattening&#8221; of iOS&#8217;s interface into something simpler and less skeuomorphic. I&#8217;m not that intrigued with the influence Ive will have on software aesthetics; we know that he has good taste and favors minimalism, and that iOS and OS X will therefore end up looking tasteful and minimalistic. What I&#8217;m curious about<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164329&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1.3 long enough ago that I don&#8217;t remember doing it. The update became available in late March and I applied the update shortly thereafter, so it&#8217;s been months. Suffice it to say, this problem didn&#8217;t manifest itself right away. However, on my way back home from the beach over Memorial Day weekend, my car&#8217;s Bluetooth system suddenly stopped connecting to the iPhone. It was connecting to an Android phone of mine just fine, so I quickly ruled out any problem with the car. Upon closer examination, I found that both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections in the settings menu were grayed out, meaning that I couldn&#8217;t connect to Bluetooth devices or Wi-Fi networks. After a quick search, I discovered that others were having the same problem. There&#8217;s a 16-page (and growing) forum post on Apple&#8217;s website and an Apple help page for correcting the issue, along with a smattering of similar complaints popping up on other sites. I tried all the steps Apple laid out on its help page, including completely backing up the phone and restoring it to its factory defaults, but the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options remained grayed out. I figured they were both on the same chipset and that something was wrong with the chipset, but the fact that other users were complaining of this problem after updating to iOS 6.1.3 made me a little suspicious. Whatever the case, I needed the Wi-Fi to work so I didn&#8217;t incur overage charges from Verizon (and Wi-Fi is also far faster than 3G, of course) and I very much wanted the Bluetooth to work so the phone could be used with my car&#8217;s hands-free system. Continuing to use the phone in its current state wasn&#8217;t really an option, so I made an appointment at the Genius Bar and headed out to the Apple Store. The girl who checked me in for my Genius Bar appointment was perfectly pleasant. When I showed her the phone, without skipping a beat, she said, &#8220;Oh. Then<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164173&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; A U.S. trade agency on Tuesday issued a ban on imports of Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4 and a variant of the iPad 2 after finding the devices violate a patent held by South Korean rival Samsung Electronics. Because the devices are assembled in China, the import ban would end Apple&#8217;s ability to sell them in the U.S. However, President Barack Obama has 60 days to invalidate Tuesday&#8217;s order from the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. Obama is against import bans on the basis of the type of patent at issue in the Samsung case. On Tuesday, the White House issued a recommendation to Congress that it limit the ITC&#8217;s ability to impose import bans in these cases. Apple Inc. said it was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; with the ruling and will appeal. Samsung and Apple are engaged in a global legal battle over their smartphones, with Apple arguing that Samsung and its Android phones copy vital features of the iPhone. Samsung is fighting back with its own complaints. Last year, a federal court in San Francisco ruled that Samsung owed Apple $1 billion in damages for infringing on non-essential Apple patents. But the judge refused to impose an import ban on Samsung phones, and later struck $450 million from the verdict, saying the jurors miscalculated. The case is set for a rematch in appeals court. The iPhone 4 was launched in 2010 and is the oldest iPhone still sold by Apple. Tuesday&#8217;s ITC ruling applies only to the AT&#38;T version of the phone. Apple is likely to retire the model in a few months with the launch of this year&#8217;s new iPhone model. Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple launched the iPad 2 in 2011. The ruling applies only to the version equipped with a cellular modem for AT&#38;T&#8217;s network. The ruling also applies to older iPhones, though these are no longer sold by Apple. Patent consultant and analyst Florian Mueller said the ITC ruling was a surprise, as the basis of Samsung&#8217;s complaint is a so-called &#8220;standards-essential patent,&#8221; describing a technology<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=164049&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple may finally debut its long-rumored streaming music service next week at its annual show-and-tell press event, reports the New York Times. Make that most likely next Monday then, or the opening day of the Worldwide Developer&#8217;s Conference (WWDC), which runs June 10 to 14. Monday would be the day Apple&#8217;s bigwigs take the stage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco at 10 a.m. PT (my colleague Harry McCracken will be there in person), probably to trumpet new versions of iOS and OS X and possibly show off new Mac portables. Whether or not we see a ready-for-action Apple streaming music service (or at least its announcement, with rollout pushed down the road to iOS 7&#8242;s arrival) is said to depend on Apple&#8217;s negotiations with music companies &#8212; still reportedly inching along based on quibbles over financial particulars. Over the weekend Apple signed a deal with Warner Music Group, says the Times, fueling speculation that Apple might be close (the company already has a deal with Universal Music Group), but Apple is still, reportedly, hammering things out with Sony, whose Sony/ATV catalog &#8212; harboring over two million copyrights &#8212; is the largest in the world, and includes a staggering array of songwriters, from Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan and The Beatles to Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift. Launching a streaming music service without Sony/ATV support would be pointless. Even with it, the Times&#8216; and Bloomberg&#8217;s sources suggest what Apple&#8217;s up to leans more toward Internet radio than a holy grail of music streaming services; assuming that&#8217;s right, here&#8217;s a quick list of things I wish were coming, but probably aren&#8217;t. Lossless streaming audio While Apple&#8217;s made some interesting gestures toward audiophiles with its Mastered for iTunes spec, it&#8217;s still dodging the bottom line when it comes to audio fidelity. To be fair, its competitors come up short here as well, but Apple&#8217;s sort of the pack leader when it comes to digital music &#8212; it, more than any other company, is responsible for the questionable state of digital consumer audio as most experience<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=163971&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; In a civil case where the words of Steve Jobs play prominently, the government and Apple Inc. are set to square off over allegations that Apple Inc. conspired with the country&#8217;s largest book publishers to make consumers pay more for electronic books. U.S. District Judge Denise Cote is scheduled to begin hearing the price-fixing case Monday in federal court in Manhattan. The trial stems from an antitrust lawsuit brought last year by the Justice Department, which accused Apple of helping hatch the scheme at a meeting with publishers in 2009 as it was preparing to launch the iPad. Its purpose was to force Seattle-based Amazon.com &#8211; the marketer of Kindle e-book readers &#8211; to raise the $9.99 price it had set for the most popular e-book titles because that was substantially below their hardcover prices, the government says. &#8220;Apple wanted to sell e-books to the public, but did not want to compete against the low prices Amazon was setting,&#8221; the government wrote in its court papers. &#8220;Apple knew that the major publishers also disliked Amazon&#8217;s low prices and saw Apple&#8217;s potential entry as a pathway to higher retail prices industrywide.&#8221; The Justice Department accuses the conspirators of agreeing that instead of selling books to retailers and letting them decide what price to charge readers, the publishers would convert the retailers into &#8220;agents&#8221; who were restricted from lowering the publisher-set retail price. The arrangement guaranteed Apple a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold. The government has alleged that the scheme cost consumers tens of millions of dollars by adding $2 or $3, sometimes as much as $5, to the price of each e-book. It also argues part of the proof is Jobs&#8217; own account of the arrangement. The former Apple CEO &#8220;conceded the price-fixing conspiracy when, the day after publicly announcing Apple&#8217;s forthcoming iBookstore, he explained to his authorized biographer that Apple had told the publishers, `We&#8217;ll go to the agency model, where you set the price, and we get our 30 percent, and yes,<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=163892&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Business Insider&#8217;s Jay Yarow has a report on Digitimes, the Taipei-based tech news site which is famous above all for its Apple rumors &#8212; and the extremely spotty record thereof: Even though DigiTimes had the story on Apple first, no one really knew whether it was trustworthy. There&#8217;s a reason its iPad 4 prediction was laughed at. Despite a steady stream of scoops, nobody really trusts DigiTimes. In part, it&#8217;s because nobody has ever met a DigiTimes reporter. In part, it&#8217;s because DigiTimes has gotten a lot of stuff wrong. It appears to be getting better, and if it wanted, it could establish itself as a legitimate news source. The question that&#8217;s hard to answer, though: Is that what it wants? We emailed DigiTimes for an answer, and got no response. We&#8217;re not alone. The paper seems to rarely talk outside of its own pages. Yarow references an article I did a bit over a year ago in which I fact-checked 25 Digitimes stories about Apple. I found its record to be dismal: five of the pieces were correct or mostly correct, 16 were largely bogus and four involved future predictions I couldn&#8217;t judge at the time. Is Digitimes, as he says, getting more trustworthy? I&#8217;m not going to try and judge the year&#8217;s worth of Apple reporting it&#8217;s provided since my first article, in part because a lot more of its content resides behind its paywall today. But I can revisit the four stories from last year&#8217;s fact-check exercise that I couldn&#8217;t rate at the time. Let&#8217;s do that right now, shall we? Unsettled rumor #1: The Digitimes story: “Components for new 15-inch ultra-thin MacBook to start shipping in November,” 11/15/2011 The rumor: Apple will ship a new, thin laptop with a 15″ screen — which could be either a bigger MacBook Air or a svelter MacBook Pro — in either March or the second quarter of 2012 (the article seems to make both predictions). Looking back: Digitimes got it right. In June &#8212; the second quarter of 2012 &#8212; Apple<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=163869&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
