Run iOS Apps Unofficially on Apple TV Coming soon!

Steve Jobs Autographed iPod Shuffle goes on sell on eBay
0A fourth-generation iPod Shuffle autographed by Steve Jobs is now up for grabs on eBay.
The owner of this rare iPod Shuffle noted:
He said him and three colleagues were invited to attend an Apple event in conjunction with the “innovators of tomorrow” program, where he had the rare opportunity to ask Jobs for his signature.
Owner asked:
“I hear you’re not really one to give autographs, but I just gotta ask…. will you sign my iPod? It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m not normally one to even ask for autographs.
And Steve Jobs answered:
“It’s quite alright. You heard that about me? Well I wouldn’t say that I don’t like giving autographs, I guess I was never comfortable with the idea solely taking credit for something, which is to me what an autograph might imply. To be honest, I think I’m the last person who should sign something. A writer signing a book I can understand, but I think if anybody within our company should sign something, it should be members from our R&D team and all the others responsible for product innovation. It’s unfortunate that they all can’t receive the same level recognition. But I suppose it’s easier this way though?….you would need a pretty big iPod to fit all those signatures”

iPad 3 coming this March, Aluminium iPhone 5 this summer
0A reliable source at ilounge has spoken, there will be body changes for the iPad 3, iPhone 5 and the Macbook Pro.
First of all, the upcoming iPad 3 will be 0.7mm thicker so that it can accommodate the new twin light bar system required to power the new higher resolution display. It’s schedualed to launch in March 2012 and according to the source over at ilounge, the new iPad 3
might be revealed as early as January depending on conditions.
Secondly, the source over at ilounge says the new iPhone 5 will not have the teardrop design like rumored in the past. They’ve been told that it will definitively have the much anticipated 4-inch screen and it will be 8mm longer than the previous models. It will also be using a metal casing, which is probably aluminium (Considering the fact that it will probably not use chrome on the iPhone like the iPod Touches..). Of course, the new iPhone 5 will be announced during the summer of 2012. Source also said that the upcoming iPhone will be LTE Ready.
Finally, source also claims that the Macbook Pro will definitively get a redesign for 2012 with a thinner body, much like the Macbook Air.
