We've asked Amazon not to copy the App Store name because it will confuse and mislead customers

Apple's Comments:

"Amazon has begun improperly using Apple's App Store mark in connection with Amazon's mobile software developer program," Apple said in the complaint. Amazon also plans to use the name with a mobile software download service, the complaint states.

YouTube Launched Person Finder for Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Victims

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 01:40 AM PDT

After the disastrous Earthquake and tsunami in Japan, all the organizations and individuals are trying their best to help the Japanese people. Youtube have also stretched their helping hand. Google has now launched the YouTube Person Finder – a tool it hopes will make it easier for missing people in Japan connect to their loved ones.

Tai Hasagawa, Product Marketing Manager at YouTube, announced the YouTube Person Finder on the YouTube blog. Tai writes:

"Our hope is that this channel will help victims and their families to establish each other's safety, and that the video messages will reach many viewers and motivate them to contribute to the recovery and restoration of the disaster-stricken areas."

Currently, the channel hosts only a few dozen videos taken at shelters and shot by the Japanese station TBS; in the future, though, individuals will be able to upload their own messages. Those looking for loved ones can search by name, hometown or shelter. Like Google’s Person Finder, it’s a relatively simple creation with potentially massive implications for those involved.

A little excerpt:

The controls are faster, I can actually see the bastard. She's right there and she has low self-esteem. Before she takes notice, I'm stabbing her in the boob. Do you feel that boob stabbed? I can feel it either 'coz my boobs are so big.

Checkout the video below.

That's not all. A total of five adverts have been released that are equally twisted in style and content, and all of them can be viewed at Sony Ericsson's YouTube channel.

Apple Soon Releasing New iMacs With Intel Sandy Bridge Processors And Thunderbolt

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 12:21 AM PDT

According to CNet TV presenter Brian Tong, Apple is all set to update the iMac with all new Intel Sandy Bridge processors and Thunderbolt. There won't be a redesign. The new machines will look the same as the old, which is no bad thing.

Brian, a CNET reporter, previously tweeted out information obtained from his sources, claiming that Apple is going to unveil the 2011 iMac line up which will tout Intel Sandy Bridge processors and Thunderbolt.

- EXCLUSIVE: My Sources: New iMacs en route by ocean to U.S. available end of April or 1st week of May. No major cosmetic changes.

- My sources say New iMacs will feature Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt. No other specifics.

- We’ll see if this pans out, but I’m highly confident in my source. If you’re looking for a new iMac. WAIT FOR IT!

The last iMac update was about eight months ago with Intel's Core i3, i5 and i7 chips and ATI Radeon graphics. But the MacBook Pros were just updated with quad-core Sandy Bridge processors, and they're screamers.

Thunderbolt is a new port for high-speed peripherals and displays. Dubbed "one connector to rule them all," it's a single 10Gbps cable that consolidates almost all existing ports, from FireWire to USB to miniDisplay to eSATA.

Windows Phone 7 “Nodo” Update Released

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 11:09 PM PDT

Microsoft has released the update of Windows phone 7 called as NoDo for all Windows Phone 7 users. The new feature that is introduced in this update is the availability of Copy paste on Windows Phone 7, which users missed badly in Windows Phone 7.

Updating Windows Phone is easy, connect Windows Phone 7 to your PC or Mac via USB cable, start Zune for Windows or the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac and then simply follow the onscreen instructions to update your phone.

Full change log of Windows Phone 7 Build 7.0.7390.0 is as follows:

March 2011

OS version: 7.0.7390.0

* Copy & paste. You asked for it—now it's here. Just tap a word and drag the arrows to copy and paste it on your phone. You can copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents, and paste it anywhere you can type. To learn more, see Copy & paste.
* Faster apps and games. Nobody likes to wait. That's why we've whittled down the time it takes for apps and games to start up and resume. It's all part of our focus on getting you to the things you love, easier and faster.
* Better Marketplace search. We've streamlined Marketplace search to make it easier to find specific apps, games, or music. Press the Search button in the Apps or Games section of Marketplace and you'll see only apps or games in the results. Press Search in the Music section of Marketplace to search just the music catalog.
* Other Marketplace improvements. We've improved the stability of Marketplace while you download apps. We've also improved the experience of downloading apps larger than 20 megabytes, upgrading from trial apps to paid apps, using a credit card with an address outside the United States, sharing links to apps via email, sorting Xbox LIVE games by release date, and creating an Xbox LIVE account from within the Games Hub.
* Wi-Fi improvements. We now display your phone's Media Access Control (MAC) address in Settings. (You might need this info if you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that uses MAC address filtering. To learn more, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network.) We've also removed the limit on the number of Wi-Fi profiles that you can store and reduced the time it takes to start your phone if you've stored lots of Wi-Fi profiles.
* Outlook improvements. We've improved the experience of viewing iPhone photo attachments you receive from a non-Exchange-based email account (such as a Google Mail, Hotmail, or Yahoo! Mail account), using the Global Address List (GAL) when connecting to Exchange Server 2003 using Exchange ActiveSync, and working with email display names that contain brackets (for example, “David Alexander [Contoso]“).
* Messaging improvements. We've improved the experience of receiving Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages if your phone uses a PIN-locked SIM.
* Facebook integration. We've improved the experience of syncing Facebook accounts.
* Camera improvements. We've improved the stability of switching between camera and video modes.
* Audio improvements. We've improved the experience of using a Bluetooth headset to make calls when you're playing music or videos.
* Other performance improvements. This month's update also includes software from several phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific models. Naturally, if you don't have one of the affected models, we won't install this portion of the update on your phone.
