Tech site H-Online has an interesting story today, quoting security expert Charlie Miller about his forthcoming talk at the CanSecWest conference next week.

Apple Devotes Entire Home Page To Jerome York Obituary

20100318-york.jpg

If ever you needed a sign that Apple was a different kind of technology company, this is it.
What other computer manufacturer would remove its top-selling, hype-inducing, industry-altering new product from the prime spot on its website home page, and replace it with an obituary to an investor?
This is one of those “Here’s to the [...]

Thank Heavens This Isn’t the iPhone Nano

Though we’re still about two months from the WWDC keynote and new iPhone hardware, that hasn’t stopped the most audacious maker of iPhone knock-offs, HiPhone, from creating a rip-off of the still unannounced iPhone nano. Yes, meet the HiPhone nano. On the outside, it looks like an ancient iPod mini, if only Apple had no taste in colors. And then it flips open and has both a touchscreen and a keypad — an ungainly keypad with tiny buttons, at that.

I don’t know what the iPhone nano will look like, when and if it ever arrives. I don know that Apple would never in a million years ship anything like this. Thank goodness.

    Are you sure that’s not the new Zune Phone?

    That cannot be an iPhone nano. It is much too fat and ugly!

    Urgghhh…how could these people do this!!!

    *starts to vomit*

    Those are some sinfully ugly phones!

    remember before the iphone came out everyone said it was “impossible” for apple to “add value” to the cell phone concept?
    Thus they either would not make a phone and the rumor was hotair, or else it would fall flat? No really this was what was said.
    Then, there was the iphone mockup site that listed over 250 “designs”, NONE of which was a simple touch screen.
    That’s how brilliant Apple design is.

    There are 3 rules in life:
    1. the market will fluctuate.
    2. that one about death & taxes
    3. Apple design will always surprise, and set the standard for the industry.

    I just threw up a little in my mouth.

    >_<

    I just died…lol
