Apple may have bought Polar Rose

We’re sorry we couldn’t bring you some interesting news lately, but here we go again:

Today interesting news flooded all the blogs and tech sites the world: that Apple bought Polar Rose. For those who don’t know, Polar Rose is a company in Scotland working on facial recognition software through different devices.It seems that the Cupertino company would have bought it for no less than $ 29 million. It is not yet confirmed by either party, but not about rumors that came from anywhere but strong business-related sites such as TechCrunch, Mac Rumors or engadget.

Is Apple developing a face recognition software for Mac OS X 10.7? Maybe for the next iOS update? We’ll keep you in touch.

Mac OS X 10.7 leaked (maybe) [Updated]

(We beleive) a very trustful source working at Apple Inc  has communicated to some blogs all over the internet that Mac OS X 10.7 is going to be unveiled late this summer.

Quote:

In autumn or late summer 2010 Mac OS X 10.7 will be presented by Steve Jobs. New interface (like Quicktime X’s) and some speed improvements.

We hope these aren’t the only improvements. He said nothing about the cloud, but we can always hope… We expected other things in an older post.

What do you think of the name? Lion? Liger?

Well… We’ll see if this rumor is true.

UPDATE: Steve Jobs replied to an email from a blogger asking if this rumor was true. His answer was very direct: “Nope.” Do you think Steve Jobs is just trying to distract us or is it true? We’re still waiting…

Try FaceTime with an Apple representative

As they comment in Softpedia, Apple has contacted early iPhone 4 purchasers and invites customers to test out FaceTime for free. The new video chat function is typical to the company’s new-generation smartphone, and currently supports calls over Wi-Fi networks between two identical devices (namely, iPhone 4). FaceTime does not use cellular minutes.

The invitation in question (above) encourages customers to give Apple a call and talk to a representative who will then take them through the settings configuration and Wi-Fi connectivity. “Give us a call”, Apple entices iPhone 4 owners. “An Apple representative will show you the basics and a few advanced tips. Before you call, make sure you have a Wi-Fi connection. Call 1-888-FACETIME from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CDT”, Apple’s message ends. Customers finally engage in a FaceTime conversation, with the Apple rep explaining the particularities of this new feature.

FaceTime is an open standard announced by Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month. Introduced alongside iPhone 4 (thanks to the addition of a front-facing camera), the feature currently requires a working Wi-Fi network and another iPhone 4. It may be possible to use FaceTime over cellular networks and between different vendors’ devices in the near future.

“People have been dreaming about video calling for decades”, Apple proudly states on its web site. “iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With the tap of a button, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.”

According to the Cupertino, California-based Mac maker, there is no need to set up a special account or screen name to use FaceTime, as the service works “right out of the box”. The company provides examples of how to use the function, saying“Let’s say you want to start a video call with your best friend. Just find her entry in your Contacts and tap the FaceTime button. Or maybe you’re already on a voice call with her and you want to switch to video. Just tap the FaceTime button on the Phone screen. Either way, an invitation pops up on her iPhone 4 screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the video call begins. It’s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape modes”. Visit Apple here to learn more about FaceTim

Apple’s iProducts are not private any more!

The U.S. Congress has requested an explanation for the changes Apple has made in its privacy policy regarding the geolocation information as IPAD and iPhone products. Now users have to accept that Apple uses its location information if they want to enjoy all the benefits of their devices. 

In a letter sent on 24 June to two congressmen Steve Jobs echoed the concerns of some media about their new privacy policy, including the admission that Apple may collect and share geographic data users . If users disagree with this policy and do not accept this update of the document can not use some features of the products. Although the information is collected anonymously, the fact is that you can use to identify users based on their behavior patterns. 

That is why Steve Jobs asking him to answer a few questions related to the frequency of data collection, the amount of users which collect such data storage procedures used and who are the ‘partners and licensees ‘with which Apple may share this information. The document, signed by two congressmen, calls Steve Jobs a response by July 12.
