Apple Secures 50 New Domains on WWDC Keynote Day
0A small bit of news that you Apple fans may find interesting: the Cupertino giant waited until June 6, the day its developer conference kicked off to register a bunch of product-related domains.

The 50 domain names that were revealed to have been registered by Apple on Monday are listed in alphabetical order

Leaked Photo of iOS 5 Spotted In The Wild
0June 6, 2011
TechCrunch has posted a photo that shows Twitter notifications integrated into the iOS status bar. The site is unsure if it’s an authentic image; however, their sources say it’s the “right idea”.
Again, no clue if it’s actually real or not, but the idea might be right. Notifications that come down from the top bar could be how Apple ends up doing things in iOS 5. After all, this would mimic already existing functionality — when tethering, a blue strip appears along the top; when on the phone, it’s a green strip. Might notifications (or at least Twitter notifications) produce a gray More >

Possibility of iCloud Service To Be Free Initially
0According to the L.A Times who are quoting “sources familiar with the negotiations,” iCloud may debut as a free service but eventually become subscription based. The price? About $25 a year, which is pretty much a steal if you ask us.

The remain 18% will be taken by Apple. The price point seems to be right and even Apple conceded some of the traditional 30% of profits they like to take home from More >
