| Man who broke into Steve Jobs' home gets seven year prison sentence Posted: 21 Jan 2013 02:31 PM PST Kariem McFarlin, the man who burglarized the home of the late Steve Jobs back in July has been sentenced to 7 years in a California state prison for stealing over $60,000 in items from the Jobs' home as well as technology and jewelry from homes in other surrounding areas. 35 year old McFarlin was arrested back in August after Apple and REACT (Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team) were able to track iTunes purchases to serial numbers of devices that were owned the Jobs family. He admitted to the crimes as well as additional robberies.
At the time of his arrest, McFarlin stated that he had done it due to money issues. Aside from his prison sentence of 7 years, he's also been ordered to pay restitution to the families that were stolen from. Source: MacWorld UK

| Twitterrific 5.0.2 brings new image and link handling, retweet gesture, simple reading, and more! Posted: 21 Jan 2013 12:49 PM PST Judge not the Twitterrific 5.0.2 update by its point size. More than just the usual bug fixes and performance tweaks are contained within. The Iconfactory has added inline image previews that, when tapped upon, launch a new, chrome-less image viewer that still lets you pinch to zoom and long press to get additional options. You also get the new full screen browser and simple reading modes, including Instapaper and Readability, and a new gesture to re-tweet with comment -- just tap and hold the re-tweet button. Then there's the new timeline search. Besides Tweets and People, you can now choose the History tab. Type in a word and Twitterrific will find it referenced in any tweets in your timeline. Lastly, but certainly not least, VoiceOver will now read the Load More button, and tweets get loaded in batches of 50 instead of 100. And if you'd rather hear hall-of-famer Gedeon Maheux show you all of those features, instead of me just telling you about them, watch the video below. Twitterrific 5.0.2 is a free update, of course, and available now via the App Store. If you haven't bought it yet, here's your link:

| iPad in Education: Doodlecast Pro: For "Flipping" the Classroom Posted: 21 Jan 2013 09:54 AM PST Doodlecast Pro is a simple, effective, and fun-to-use screen-drawing tool and voice recorder that has multiple uses in a classroom setting. There are a few teachers in my building that utilize iPads for instruction (sadly we are not yet a 1:1 school), and I've already passed along the suggestion to them when I saw that [...]         Comments

| Would you want an iPad 5 that looks and feels just like an iPad mini? Posted: 21 Jan 2013 09:05 AM PST It's not rocket science. Apple's continuously working on next-generation iPad prototypes. Given the realities of time, technology, and economics, they're seeing how far they can go and how quickly. Some are more conservative, bringing faster, more efficient processors, better radios, and other components to existing chassises. Others are more radical, bringing new technologies, materials, and designs to market. Some are quiet ticks that need to be used to be appreciated. Others a noisy tocks that need only be seen to be believed. The iPad 4 was very conservative. The slightest tick. A new Apple A6X processor, a new, more internationally-friendly LTE radio and more robust Wi-Fi, new cameras, and the new Lightning connector. It built on the Retina display of the iPad 3, and continued once again the same chassis as the iPad 2, the last big design tock. But now Apple has a new design language for their mobile devices, and a new way of manufacturing them that borders on machinist porn. It's what let them make the iPhone 5, and it's what let them make the exquisite, and very similar looking iPad mini, iPod touch 5, and iPod nano. It's what made for unified, ultra-thin, ultra-light, ultra-high precision, anodized aluminum unibodies with tighter curves, smaller bezels, and pixels so close to the surface it's like you're really touching them. It's what made the just-released iPad 4 look and feel old and dated by comparison. It's not rocket science to think the iPad 5 might bring Apple's larger tablet into that new design language and manufacturing process. There are challenges that need to be overcome, however. A 2048x1536 Retina display requires a lot of light and a lot of power. That's why the iPad 4 is so thick and heavy compared to the non-Retina iPad mini. For that device, Apple sacrificed pixel density for lightness and battery life. With the iPad 5, there's no pixel density to sacrifice. The screen is set. There's only better LED and panel technology, more efficient chipsets, and better battery chemistry to overcome it. If Apple can get all of that in place, if they can produce an iPad 5 with Retina display, 10-hours of battery life, and make it anywhere close to as light and thin for its 9.7-inch size as the iPad mini is at 7.9, then it's hard to believe they wouldn't do it, and unify the design language and manufacturing processes of their mobile devices. The rough concept image above shows just that -- the iPad mini design applied to a 9.7-inch screen. The current iPad 4 outline is left in the background to highlight that, in addition to being lighter and thinner, the iPad mini design on the full-sized iPad would presumably be smaller as well. Same power, far less packaging. For those who switched from the Retina iPad to the iPad mini, who gave up pixels and power for portability, it would make the lines blur. (As would a Retina iPad mini, when that device launches.) It still wouldn't be something you could grip in one hand like the iPad mini. The multitouch technology that lets the iPad mini reject unintentional input from the thin bezels would likely be even more critical, given how a full-sized iPad is held and used. And no matter how thin and light an iPad 5 is compared to an iPad 4, it still wouldn't be as thin and light as an iPad mini, and it wouldn't fit in as many pockets or purses. So the question becomes, if Apple could make the iPad 5 look and feel like an iPad mini, would that be your next iPad?

| Monday Brief: More BB10 leaks, The Galaxy Note 8.0, and more! Posted: 21 Jan 2013 07:51 AM PST
Daniel Rubino was too busy brushing his lovely locks to share his links this week so, some older Nokia news did slip in here accidentally as some of you noticed in the intro. It was covered in a previous Monday Brief but if you're interested, you can view that story here.
