Default Thursday Morning News

2565317822_3083e6174e_oOptus and Vodafone have slapped up webpages to register your interest for an iPhone 3G S.

Check out this amazing Wall of Apps installation that Apple made for WWDC. Incredible. Make sure you watch the videos.

Want to know more about the SD card slot in the new MacBook Pros? Apple's support page answers everything you wanted to know.

If you're an iPhone developer, you want this stencil of iPhone widgets so you can design the UI of your apps on paper with ease.

The WWDC '09 keynote is up on the iTunes store to download as a podcast. It's 1.3GB and is in quite good quality. Don't have time to watch it all? (it's almost two and a half hours long) Someone has cut up the keynote into a 3 minute video of the important stuff.

The 2009 Apple Design Awards have been given out to developers of high class apps for the iPhone & Mac. Check out the winners on Arstechnica.

Snow Leopard doesn't work on PowerPC Macs. So if you have a G4 or G5, Leopard is as far as you can go.

iFixIt has ripped open a new 13" MacBook Pro. Good news is that you can still change the HDD and RAM yourself, it just requires some screws removed, which isn't as simple as the previous unibody laptops, but it still pretty damn easy.

Safari 4 is out for all platforms and it's pretty damn sweet. Arstechnica take a look at it and give you all the goss.

Jon Rubenstein, the dude in charge of iPod development at Apple, who then left to go to Palm and lead the Palm Pre development, is now the CEO of Palm. Make of that what you will.

The new iPhone 3G S is reported to have a 600MHz CPU, 256MB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX video system. In other words, it's a pocket powerhouse.

The iPhone 3G S also has an oleophobic screen. That means the screen is gonna get lees fingerprinty and less sweat marks from your ear on the screen.

iTunes hasn't updated the page yet. Subscribe to the podcast and it will appear.

Good. One thing I like about Apple is they don't support old tech for ages and ages like windows does (floppy drives and 32 bit OSs, Phase it out in windows 7 FFS!)

Virgin is Optus, so if last time is anything to go by, Optus will sell through the Optus brand exclusively until interest wanes and then start offering it on Virgin.
