Some design agency spent a lot of time coming up with a rough concept of what iOS 7 probably isn’t going to look like. But let’s just say it looks kind of cool.
Tumblr iOS app updated with Twitter and Facebook sharing, read-it-later support
This is great. Tumblr should add these sharing/read-it-later features to the dashboard on desktops.
It wasn’t until [Matt] Henderson discovered a story about his own app on Gizmodo Brazil that he realized why he had created such a hit within the country. No, it wasn’t because he had made a great app that appealed to the sensibilities of the Brazilian people. Rather, it turns out the name Henderson chose for the app is actually a slang term for “butt crack” in Portuguese.
While Henderson may have been slightly disappointed that his app gained popularity from people looking for butts rather than people looking for the useful tool he created, he has decided to embrace the app’s current name.
Sometimes, a name just works.
That awkward moment where your company’s new VP literally steamrolled your company’s most popular product because of a business decision your company made that affected his old company. Such is the tale of former Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch, who just joined Apple after spending much of the past few years publicly bashing Apple’s stance on Flash.

Tumblr’s back up and Google Maps for iOS is out. Looks like your night just got slightly more exciting. (Though the new phoenix-like Flickr app should keep you busy, too.)
Apple just paid Swiss Federal Railways $21 million for the rights to the design of the above clock, according to Mashable. This was weeks after the iOS6 release, in which the company received much criticism over using the clock, considered iconic of the rail company, as their new default clock design — without paying for the rights.
Currently happening: Apple’s iPad mini keynote. Guess what’s under the cloth.
Congratulations to the team at Nik Software on their recent acquisition by Google. We’re curious to see how this will affect development of Snapseed, as well as the rest of Nik’s software catalog, and whether or not this might bring an end to some of iOS’ most popular photography apps. source
YouTube releases its official not-Apple iOS app: Unfortunately, they promoted it with screenshots of a Train video. Cool app, though — though we’re gonna warn you, this app comes with monetization efforts, so be warned. As Apple is dropping support for the YouTube app on their end, you’ll want to download this.

The FBI has not requested this information from Apple, nor have we provided it to the FBI or any organization. Additionally, with iOS 6 we introduced a new set of APIs meant to replace the use of the UDID and will soon be banning the use of UDID.Apple spokesperson Natale Kerris • Denying that they were working with the FBI by sharing UDID numbers with them — but further, emphasizing that the UDID system will soon be a thing of the past. The statement backs up the FBI’s statement saying there was no evidence they had such data, or that they had been hacked at all. One million device UDIDs were leaked on Tuesday by hacker syndicate AntiSec.
The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed. At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.The FBI • In a statement, released Tuesday, refuting claims from AntiSec that an FBI official had millions of Apple device UDID codes sitting on their desktop — ripe for the picking by the hacker syndicate. AntiSec released one million UDID codes last night, and claims they have 11 million others in their possession.
Guess what’s happening next week? Why yes, that is a shadow in the shape of the number 5, Apple fans.
