Imagine if in 2008’s Hurt Locker the elite soldier tasked with disarming IEDs and other explosives whipped out his iPhone and proclaimed “Wait, wait. I have an App for that.”

Well the US Department of Defense Explosive Ordnance Disposal is imaging exactly that and is looking for coders to help build an entire app store dedicated to bomb technicians. Funding for those chosen to develop ...

Carriers are some of the most evil companies out there. They want you to pay them a lot of money, even if that means surprising you with data overages at the end of each month. They don't give any warnings to you unless you manually set their applications to warn you. That being said, why not give yourself more control over how you use your data? There are a ton of data monitoring applications out there, but wouldn't it be cool if you could see your usage in Notification ...

With iOS 5, the new OTA (over the air) updating service has been implemented allowing us to update the firmware of our iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads over an internet connection without the need to connect to a computer and open iTunes to download and install the new updates. While for long a requested feature, jailbreakers don't take too kindly to it because it bugs them when an update comes out. Like a fly that zips around your head and buzzes in your ...

Apple recently posted two new video ads showcasing how Siri on the iPhone 4S can help people achieve their dreams. In this particular case, the dreams include cross-country road trips and playing in a rock band.

The two new ads were released recently on both Apple’s website and its YouTube channel as a part of a series of ads for the company’s latest product, the iPhone 4S. These two new commercials join previous commercials, ...

The New York Times published their own report on Apple's rumored iPad 3 announcement next month with a simple claim from “an Apple employee.”

The iPad 3 screen is “truly amazing.”

While the iPad being tested inside Cupertino is “essentially the same size and shape as the iPad 2,” the improved screen and faster processor will apparently be the selling points. The New York Times did ...

Well this is an awesome video. Rob Beschizza at Boing Boing culled together every Apple Design ever and crammed it into a 30-second video.

I don’t think every Apple Design ever is in the video and Beschizza acknowledges as much, but it’s still a lightining-quick look at 30+ years of Apple products. I had no idea Apple produced so many different external floppy-disc drives. Ahhh floppy-discs, how I miss thee. ...

Free update; new features. Awesome!

If there's something that we all like more than jailbreak tweaks, it's when an existing jailbreak tweak gets a massive update with tons of new features and the update is absolutely free. In the case of the new iCaughtU Pro by iOS developer Itay Brenner, it doesn't get any better than this, folks. Back in November, we wrote a review on iCaughtU Pro and it was a jailbreak tweak that helps you retrieve your iPhone when it is ...

Tired of applications just asserting themselves into your personal information?

We have seen so many instances where applications from the App Store have taken our information from our iPhone and just snatched it like it was their own. One of the most recent instances was with the popular social networking application Path, which as we reported, takes your contacts' information and uploads it to their own servers. Wouldn't you feel violated if that happened ...

Sprint’s 4th quarter marked the first time the benefits of the iPhone would influence their bottom line. Sprint’s earnings report definitely felt the iPhone influence, but not a way that excites investors.

Sprint’s subscriber base increased during the 4Q last year as the company added 1.6 million subscribers. The company sold 1.8 million iPhones last quarter as well, with 40% of Sprint ...

The popular and elegant mobile social networking app, Path, has come under heavy criticism after developer Arun Thampi discovered that the app uploads users’ address books to its servers without asking for permission. The whole ordeal was discovered by Thampi when he encountered the back-end feature while attempting to hack the application to run on the Mac OS X. After he went public with the news, it ...

According to 9to5Mac, Apple’s VP of iPhone and iPod Engineering David Tupman left his position with Apple at the end of last year. Tupman's departure is the latest in a string of Apple executives leaving their positions at Apple.

Tupman started his tenure with the introduction of the first iPod and stayed all the way through the development and release of the iPhone 4S. Needless to say ...
