Is Apple facing a season of problems?, We shouldn’t be judgmental at this juncture as Apple knows how to bounce back so let time decide that but the recent issue of interruption in communication and antenna fiasco, the executive in charge of iPhone and iPod, Mark Papermaster has resigned Apple.Inc.
About Mark , he joined last year leaving IBM Corp, which was in controversies, as contract to IBM states, no employee can join a rival company within one year and so was sued, which was resolved later.
“Apple was upset and embarrassed with the customers’ reports flaunting in the official website. Bob Mansfield, the senior Vice-President will be taking the charge of the brigade. He already manages groups that create key technologies for iPhone”; said the CEO Steve Jobs.
Many things are shuffling in the headquarter, Cupertino, news conferences were held by the top officials to clear out what were the problems associated with the iPhone and how Apple is going to rectify them.
For the time being ‘fingers crossed’ for Apple!

The world’s largest mobile making company Nokia has announced to launch the new smartphone. The new N8 model will be based on Symbian 3 operating system. This little genius would be competing with the huge Apple’s iphone(4.0 OS).
Already speculations have started that Nokia has invented the N8 only to be pitched against the huge success of Apple’s iphone(4.0 OS). The iphone 4.0 has 100 new features like multitasking support, improved email client service, Drag and Drop functionality and many more to mention. Analysts of the market say that it is the most advance mobile OS of the planet. Thus, a war to be the best, begins. Nokia came out with N8 powered by the symbian 3 operating system with features like HDMI support, a new 2D and 3D graphics architecture, and UI improvements.
In contrast to Apple’s dual Dual Core processor which will be soon powered by a 1GHz processor, N8 has powered by ARM11 680 MHz processor, which ran about 60 application at a time.
To make the smartphones look more smarter, iphone 4.0 is going to be dressed with new OLED based screen in its next generation iPhone with multi-touch and capacitive screen along with much higher resolution than present smartphones and to be complimented by dual camera in the new device for video conferencing. N8 is not too far behind in the race with its 12 MP Camera with HD Recording and Xenon Flash.
The competition among brands to provide the best innovated facilities which could be of best utility to “we – the people” will go on trying new and sophisticated technologies and the war seems never ending.
According to many sources, Apple is busy building the next major version of Mac OSX, namely mac OSX 10.7. Or according to a bug report analyzed by MacRumors, Mac OSX “11A47″.
MacRumors discovered that a new build reference was found in the buglist for the opensource OSX component “launchd”, this build reference “11A47″ should point to Mac OSX 10.7. Since Mac OSX 10.6 “Snow Leopard” is referenced to as “10A432″ where the first number is the most important. This number points to the major version.
So you can already be sure of one update, “launchd” which manages the processes on OSX, will get a bugfix. Other updates in version 10.7 are up to this date unknown. But as Snow Leopard was only a small under-the-hood update, we have reason to believe that Mac OSX 10.7 will bring major changes. One of them could be dramatic performance increases which benefit from the new technologies build into Snow Leopard such as e.g. Grand Central Dispatch and 64-bits. This also lightens the way for remarkable changes to the user interface of Mac OSX, such as more advanced desktop effects, faster reactions, …
But as Mac OSX uses more advanced hardware technologies older Macs will no longer be supported. At this point this may as well be the older white polycarbonate macbooks (prior to 2009) which are quite short on the graphical power. But of course these are assumptions. If we want to know what the next OSX will truly bring, we’ll have to wait for the release presentation. Since Apple can keep things in doors for quite a long time, all we can do is speculate.
So a few questions still remain and many of the above statements are still very uncertain. The biggest but probably most useless question is : What will be the codename for the new OSX?
Well according to us this can be none other than Mac OSX “Lion” as all other big cats which Apple uses for their OS codenames are already used.
Mac OSX 10.0 : Cheetah
Mac OSX 10.1 : Puma
Mac OSX 10.2 : Jaguar
Mac OSX 10.3 : Panther
Mac OSX 10.4 : Tiger
Mac OSX 10.5 : Leopard
Mac OSX 10.6 : Snow Leopard
Mac OSX 10.7 : Lion?
But for confirmation of all our suspicions we’ll have to wait until Apple presents Mac OSX 10.7 to the public.
