Is this the new iPhone home button?

Last fall the Internet was abuzz about Apple's apparent iPhone redesign for what eventually became the iPhone 4S. Much to the dismay of the media and some louder consumers, the iPhone 4S retained the same design profile as the previous-generation iPhone 4.

At the time, the redesign was expected to feature a teardrop back casing, a bigger screen and, among other things, an ovular home button. If the shape of the home button is any indication of a complete redesign, the latest part leak from Chinese supplier TVC-Mall.com (via Apple Bitch) may not win over many of the … Read more

TV show from WikiLeaks' Julian Assange due April 17

The new TV show from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is set to air April 17 on the RT network and be released online the same day, according to WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks said a dozen 26-minute episodes of the program have been completed.

The organization said the programs and transcripts will be made available online and that &… Read more

Sprint-flavored iPad coming sooner rather than later?

A new iPad capable of running on Sprint's fledgling 4G network was missing from this week's big refresh event, but if you believe in leaked photos, such a device could be just around the corner.

Engadget posts what it says are shots of Best Buy's inventory system that list a slew of new iPads that run on Sprint's network. At Apple's event on Wednesday, the only 4G-compatible tablets introduced were ones that run on AT&T and Verizon.

But in an Engadget shot, 14 such devices are listed on the screen next to what … Read more

Leaked ad outs Sony Vaio U hybrid tablet PC

A supposed tablet/laptop hybrid PC from Sony made an appearance today in a leaked ad that appears very authentic.

The computer, known as the Vaio U series, reminds us of the concept hybrid computer shown by the Japanese company at CES this year. The information comes to us via a leaked flyer, courtesy of PocketNow, that contains little information other than various low-resolution angles of the hybrid PC. That doesn't stop us from figuring out several possible details, though. … Read more

Least sexy iPad 3 part re-emerges in colors, with buttons

Was last week's smoldering imagery of the front glass panel allegedly belonging to Apple's iPad 3 not enough for you? Good news, there's more.

Gadget repair service Repair Labs today (via MacRumors) posts images of a pair of digitizers, the front panel that includes the glass and the touch sensitive layer it says belongs to the iPad 3. The images represent what look like a part that's further along than the one from last week, which appeared unfinished.

Besides the black and white color options, the big takeaway here is that the front of the device … Read more

WikiLeaks releases alleged Stratfor e-mails, promises more

WikiLeaks has followed through on its promise and released confidential e-mails from global security analysis company Strategic Forecasting, or Stratfor.

WikiLeaks announced plans to publish the e-mails yesterday. The organization says that it has 5,000 confidential Stratfor e-mails and will release them piecemeal over the coming days. According to a counter on its Web site, it has so far released 214 of those documents.

The messages WikiLeaks obtained cover 2004 through 2011 and include mention of everything from insider information on the 2008 U.S. presidential election to spies working around the world to gather intelligence. One of the … Read more

WikiLeaks plans to release e-mails from security think tank

WikiLeaks announced today it would begin publishing on Monday more than 5 million confidential e-mails obtained from an influential security think tank.

The e-mails, which date from July 2004 to December 2011, "reveal the inner workings" of Strategic Forecasting (Strafor), an Austin, Texas-based firm that provides security analysis to the U.S. Army, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the embattled document-sharing site said in a statement.

"The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques, and psychological methods," the organization said.

The trove also purportedly contains more than 4,000 e-mails mentioning WikiLeaks … Read more

Supposed iPad 3 display goes under the microscope again

The display that may or may not belong to Apple's next iPad has been given a more thorough once-over.

MacRumors, which last week posted photos--including microscope-enlarged shots--of a panel it claimed to belong to an upcoming iPad, has run a follow-up today with that same panel. The difference this time is that the display has been handed over to iFixit, the site that's perhaps best known for posting detailed tear downs of gadgets and identifying where the individual components come from.

The site ran the panel under a USB microscope yet again, which resulted in a considerably … Read more

The least sexy iPad 3 part emerges...maybe

The last few weeks have provided a delightful trickle of metal backings, allegedly belonging to an iPad that Apple has not yet announced or released.

Continuing on that trend, today we get a new look at the device from the other side: the glass front.

As picked up by MacRumors, Apple.pro--the same site that posted images of that neato iPod Nano with a built-in camera--has a shot of the iPad 3's front glass, or so it claims.

There's not a whole lot to look at here (see right) besides what Apple.pro notes to be a … Read more

Is this the iPad 3's Retina Display?

Pictures of purported parts of upcoming iPads, iPhones, iPods, and iAnythings are the norm, but perhaps not quite as interesting as this latest one.

MacRumors today posts what it says is the screen that will be in the next iPad. That display is not attached to an actual iPad 3 unit, but instead sits atop a table with a ruler on top to show its scale, which the outlet says is the same 9.7 inches as the one on the iPad 1 and 2.

The big difference of course, is actually a small one--the pixels. Putting the display under … Read more
