Siri Hidden Feature On New iPhone 5
The iPhone cracks itself if siri perceives it as stolen. Before you go why siri why, self destruction is activated only if you have enabled the iphone unlock error security feature on the concept iPhone 5.
After 3 strikes, Siri radio quickly does an iPhone data transfer to your iTunes; and goes onto decimate all your information on the phone. You are notified on iTunes, where the iPhone data recovery is now available only to you, as it should be.
If you cant have the iphone, NO one can!
The question is not whether iPhone — Will it blend? but iPhone — Will it destruct?, if stolen. Go Siri!

Apple sets WWDC 2012 for June 11-15
Apple developers, get out your calendars and pencil in June 11 to 15.
Those are the dates that Apple has just announced for the 2012 edition of its Worldwide Developers Conference, which will take place in San Francisco.
The focus, of course, will be on Apple’s mobile and desktop operating systems.
“We have a great WWDC planned this year and can’t wait to share the latest news about iOS and OS X Mountain Lion with developers,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, in a statement. “The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world.”
The event will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers.
The Apple II leads a new revolution
Where most people see a museum piece, Apple sees a new revenue stream. The Apple II is back, in all its underpowered splendor.
Meet “the new Apple II.” (According to sources, it was almost called the “Apple II 2.”)
As Apple’s press release explains: “The Apple II gave birth to the computer industry. Now it’s pregnant again — this time with unlimited possibilities.”
The new Apple II targets two different demographic groups: those nostalgic for simpler times, and those who still don’t get what memory is.
Remaining true to its original concept, the new Apple II isn’t exactly a speed demon. Hypothetically, its 1MHz processor would take about an hour to download an average web page. But that assumes you could actually connect the new Apple II to the Internet — which you can’t.
In fact, the new Apple II is unabashedly unconnected. With no Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB ports, there will be nothing to distract you from enjoying the best of Apple II’s two dozen apps, which include a recipe manager and an electronic checkbook.
But this isn’t your father’s Apple II. Despite the retro theme, Apple has added one very handy port that allows the user to connect a turntable or cassette deck. You can’t store music in the computer, but you can use the Apple II box to store up to 150 vinyl albums or 300 cassettes.
No aluminum was harmed in the making of this computer. The new Apple II is big on beige, with industrial-strength plastics that will dominate landfills for centuries to come.
Apple is leaving nothing to chance with the new Apple II, working with partners to seduce customers with a rich ecosystem. Intel is developing an even slower chip to power a newer new-generation Apple II. Adobe, eager to make peace with Apple, will unveil an all-text version of Photoshop.
The new Apple II personal computer will be available on May 14th, starting at $4,995. For only $49, you can get a 2-year AppleCare plan — pre-dated to expire in 1981.

Mango flavoured iPhone 5
An ice cream manufacturer in China has devised a mango flavoured iPhone shaped treat.
“This “mango-flavored” ice cream treat boasts a “Western-style flavor” and is shaped like Apple’s iconic logo. It kind of looks like a fried egg,” writes Kotaku.com.
Kotaku suggests that Apple won’t be able to dispute the use of the trademark because it didn’t register it across a variety of industries.

Tim Cook to kick off 10th D: All Things Digital conference
Walter Mossberg and Kara Swisher interview Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at 'D5: All Things Digital' conference in Carlsbad, California, in 2007.
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook will be the opening speaker for this year’s D10 conference, marking 10 years of “D: All Things Digital.”
Cook will speak at the opening night of the conference when it kicks off on May 29 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Kara Swisher announced on Tuesday. It will be Cook’s first appearance at the D conference, and his first time appearing onstage at an event not run by Apple or investors since he became CEO last August.
“We are looking forward to hearing Cook’s perspective on where the industry and Apple is going, and perhaps to get a glimpse into what makes its new leader — who is also a longtime Apple vet — tick,” Swisher wrote.

Apple Scotland – iPhone commercial for Siri

Apple goes back to the future
One of the highlights of yesterday’s iPad keynote was a brief glimpse of a new, more colourful Apple logo. But what does it mean?
The multi-coloured logo spotted at the iPad launch looks like a modernised version of the original rainbow logo Apple sported in the 1970s and 1980s and may yet signal a new direction for the Cupertino, California company.
After late CEO Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1995, the company progressively moved the logo to a more neutral white or grey tone. Now that the Jobs era is over, could this new more colourful logo show that Apple’s trying to make a clean break with its past?
Computer Arts sister technology website Gizmodo UK certainly hopes so.

Owners of the second-generation Apple TV will be able to access the new user interface with a free software update scheduled to become available today. 1080p video playback will remain exclusive to the new Apple TV.
1080p programming available for the Apple TV will include iTunes movies and TV shows, Netflix, Vimeo, photos and more. And with an updated iTunes in the Cloud, customers will be able to play movies and TV shows bought on the iTunes Store instantly on their Apple TV.
