Presumably if Apple sticks with its traditional release cycles, the new iPhone won’t be coming until Fall. However, there have already been many rumors about the iPhone 6, some believe Apple might launch it early this year, possibly in Summer. It is believed that the display size will be finally bumped up this year, and now a purported iPhone 6 front panel has leaked online which hints at just that. Though it is a bit too soon for components of the next generation iPhone to surface, usually when things like these come up so soon its possible that they’re not the real deal.

As if the iPhone’s appearance at the Oscars didn’t give Apple enough celebrity exposure, it looks like there are yet more celebrities promoting Apple products, even unlikely ones. When I say unlikely, I’m referring to homemaking diva Martha Stewart who recently wrote an entry on her blog that sounded like it would have been word-for-word from the mouths of the Apple Public Relations department. She was talking about her new MacBook Air, but if I didn’t know better, I would have thought she was an Apple Spokeswoman.
Read the following statements from her blog and you’ll see what I mean:
I was so excited when my new MacBook Air arrived the other day. When I opened the box and examined this laptop, I was amazed by how razor thin and how light it is – just .76 of an inch and only 3 pounds. It has a full-size illuminated keyboard, which is terrific for working in a dimly lit car or on an airplane. And I really love the trackpad, which works in much the same way as the Apple iPhone, giving you many more options by simply moving your fingers.
Sounds like a PR description, doesn’t it? Then she went on…
It’s a little difficult to photograph just how thin this MacBook Air is, but you can see for yourself by stopping at an Apple store or checking it out on line at www.apple.com.
Yes, she actually linked to Apple.com. Finally she says…
The MacBook Air is truly a technological thing of beauty. When it’s not traveling on the road with me, it looks great on my desk as you can see here.
The only part I did leave out was where she mentioned that her MacBook Air sits next to her HP laptop on her desk because “my assistants all seem to have different preferences (Mac. Vs. PC) and I like to give them both options when they need to do some work at my desk.” In an update to the blog she mentioned that she did know about Parallels which readers recommended that she use, and of course she included pictures of her computer complete with her blog pulled up in the browser.
And speaking of browser, some of you will be happy to know that Martha is a Firefox user, at least it appears that way if you look real close at the image…
Over the past couple of months we have been consistently hearing rumors about iOS in the Car, a feature that Apple first showed off back at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2013. It is essentially the extension of an iOS powered device in the car, where the firmware has a watered down user interface but performs various crucial functions such as navigation and phone calls as well as display notifications. A new report suggests that iOS in the Car will be unveiled in more detail at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and that the company has already picked its first three partners, namely Ferrari, Mercedes and Volvo.
Recently there have been a lot of rumors that Apple might be working on a new set-top box. The company’s TV offering hasn’t been updated for quite a while now, even though it was expected that a new Apple TV set-top box will be released late last year. Now rumors suggest that it may be unveiled within the next few months, but Jim Dalrymple of The Loop claims that its not going to happen any time soon. Dalrymple has been right on many occasions before, his predictions are presumed to carry weight.

Yesterday, Ryan pointed out a QuickTime bug that affected Java-Enabled browsers. The bug affected those using Firefox and Safari on Macs, and those using IE7 on Vista. Very few people were immune to this issue, and all it took was visiting a malicious website and the user’s computer could have been compromised.
Thankfully Apple got on the issue pretty quickly, and today they released QuickTime 7.1.6 which patches the bugs that were previously mentioned. Had it not been for the CanSec West Security Conference, this bug wouldn’t have been found, and Apple thanks Dino Dai Zovi, Tipping Point, and the Zero Day Initiative for reporting what could have caused some problems for users.
Also included with this release is support for Final Cut Studio 2, and display fixes for timecode and closed caption.
If you use QuickTime, I’d definitely take the time to download the update so that you don’t have to worry about the security of your computer being compromised.

Web Browser Wednesday
The new Safari on Windows is boasted as one of the fastest browsers available for the Windows operating system. Well, that might be a little biased considering that it is according to Safari’s homepage, but I’ve tinkered with it over the past day and it is among the fastest browsers that I’ve used. It also has some shortcomings though…
First and foremost there have been a number of security concerns with Safari on Windows, which is something I definitely expected. Apple released Safari saying that their “engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.” We all know that talk is cheap, and the vulnerabilities are something that I expected since Apple doesn’t make Windows software very frequently. Not only that, but this is also a pre-release application, so they have time to correct things before anyone can really start criticizing.
All browsers have their security woes, so in this review I’m going to set that aside and look strictly at the features. I’m going to give a bulleted list of the things that Safari includes, and then I’ll provide a short screencast where I’ll point out some of the cool features as well as the things that it lacks.
Performance – As the Safari homepage points out, this browser is very good at loading Websites quickly. I was able to notice a significant reduction in page load times as I was browsing the Web, but that’s not the only kind of performance that is important. The Safari site fails to say what the memory usage is like for the browser, and I’ll be the first to say it’s horrible. At any given time, it is twice what Firefox, Opera, or even Internet Explorer is using up even when visiting the same sites.
Interface – Ahh, this is something I don’t really know that I can touch on. Apple made sure that they gave people the feeling that they are using a Mac computer by preventing the Windows operating system from controlling any aspect of the appearance. I think it is safe to conclude that people will be able to easily see when you’re using Safari on a Windows computer. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
Bookmarks – This is something that I cover more in the screencast, but overall this is one of the biggest downfalls in Safari. I’m a right-click/drag-and-drop freak and the Bookmarks Bar hardly allows for any of that. You can’t arrange your bookmarks by dragging them around in that bar, instead you have to use the Bookmark Collections which is a hassle. Oh, and did I mention that there is no Bookmarks sidebar for you to use?
Searching – The searching in Safari is almost its best feature. They have done a great job of making the results stand out, and that is something I very much appreciate.
Tabbed Browsing – Come on, all of the cool browsers have tabbed browsing these days. The only thing cool about Safari’s is that you can drag a tab off of the tab bar and it will open in a new window.
SnapBack – This is pretty nice as well since many of us perform a lot of searches. After doing a search and clicking on a result there will be a little orange icon in the upper-right search box in Safari. That will always be there as a means to take you back to the initial search that you performed.
AutoFill Forms – Meh, it’s a form filler and nothing more.
RSS Reader – The built-in RSS reader is a nice cross between the Live Bookmarks that Firefox has and a full RSS feed reader. It even has a cool slider that instantly lets you adjust the length of the articles being displayed. It’s important to note, however, that they do not let you configure an external feed reader for subscribing to the feeds though.
Resizable Text Fields – This seems to be the hot new thing since Netscape 9 Beta also has this feature. All it does is let you resize text boxes on a site, such as the one we have below for commenting.
Private Browsing – With Private Browsing enabled, Safari won’t store your Google searches, your cookies, the history of sites you’ve visited, your download history, or information from online forms you’ve filled out. With the increasing concern over privacy, this is a feature some users will appreciate.
Security – I think I said enough about this up top.
So that’s how I feel about the features Safari has in it that is supposed to make it the browser for you to use. Some of them are cool, but a lot of them have already been seen in existing browsers which makes them far from spectacular.
–The Screencast–
Latest take a more hands-on look at how I feel about the features in Safari:
–The Overview–
As you can see, Safari has several cool features that I would like to see available in other browsers. There is nothing in it that makes it better than Firefox, Opera, or even Internet Explorer in my opinion, so there will probably be few people actually using it. The only way that it will benefit me is allowing me to easily test my site to make sure it renders properly in the Safari browser.
AppleCare is not cheap and for those who don’t purchase it, it also means you’re taking a risk with your product in the event that it breaks and you’re no longer covered. There used to be a loophole where Apple customers who did not have warranty could go onto Apple’s website and chat with online support to get help without paying for it. (more…)
