Apple designer's court testimony recalls birth of iPhone | PCWorld

Apple designer's court testimony recalls birth of iPhone | PCWorld

"Martyn Williams Apr 4, 2014 "The roots of the iPhone can be traced to many corners of Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California, but a Silicon Valley courtroom on Friday heard how some of the most recognizable software features came from a team working in a dark, dirty, windowless room with special security to keep others out.

The story of the iPhone’s software design was related by Greg Christie, an Apple vice president and software designer, as part of Apple’s patent infringement case against Samsung. Christie is one of the inventors listed on the patent for the “slide to unlock” function, which is one of the patents in question in Apple’s lawsuit against Samsung, on trial in the U.S. District Court in San Jose, California.

Apple retires Snow Leopard from support, leaves 1 in 5 Macs vulnerable to attacks

Apple retires Snow Leopard from support, leaves 1 in 5 Macs vulnerable to attacks

Twice now that Apple's bypassed Snow Leopard when it patched newer editions
Gregg Keizer


Apple on Tuesday made it clear that it will no longer patch OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard, when it again declined to offer a security update for the four-and-a-half-year-old operating system.

As Apple issued an update for Mavericks, or OS X 10.9, as well as for its two predecessors, Mountain Lion (10.8) and Lion (10.7), Apple had nothing for Snow Leopard or its owners yesterday.

Snow Leopard was also ignored in December, when Apple patched Safari 6 and 7 for newer editions of OS X, but did not update Safari 5.1.10, the most-current Apple browser for the OS.

Mashable Business: Apple to Spend $45 Billion on Dividend and Share Buyback



March 19, 2012 by Stan Schroeder

Ahead of today’s call, Apple has announced it plans to initiate a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share sometime in the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2012, which starts July 1, 2012.

Furthermore, the company will start a $10 billion share repurchasing program, starting in Apple’s fiscal 2013, which starts on September 30, 2012.

This means Apple will spend approximately $45 billion of its cash reserves on dividends and share buyback in the first three years of these new programs…http://mashable.com/2012/03/19/apple-dividend/
