Apple’s move to more seamlessly link its new iOS 7 mobile operating system into car systems will force automakers to decide whether the computer giant is a friend - or a threat to their incar digital plans, analysts say. The basic idea, as announced without much detail by Apple earlier this week, is to integrate a simplified, Siri-enabled application of iPhone functions into a car's dash screen and infotainment system. Apple named Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, Ferrari, Infiniti, Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Acura, Jaguar and two General Motors brands, Chevrolet and Opel, as companies in discussions. But that leaves out other industry notables, such as Ford - which already has a linkup with Microsoft. It's easy to see why automakers are dividing up. Deciding whether Apple helps or hurts depends on "what…

Located just north of Half Moon Bay outside Pillar Point Harbor in Northern California, Mavericks is one of that locality's major surfing destinations. It is home to the Mavericks Invitational surfing event and produces its notoriously big waves thanks to an underwater rock formation. Really, if you are a big wave surfer looking for the perfect winter destination, you couldn't choose a better place than here. Oh, and it also lends its name to Apple's new Mac operating system. Why has it done that? Aren't Mac platforms supposed to be named after cats? After all, we've had the likes of Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Tiger and Leopard in the past, culminating in Mountain Lion the last time out. But at the recent Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), it was among the slightly…

Apple caused a lot of excitement last week when they announced the fall release of iOS 7, the next version of their mobile device operating system. It created a standing ovation among the developers in the crowd. Having had the opportunity to use a beta version of the system for the past week, I understand the excitement. It's a great operating system, giving us a few things we've wanted for awhile. But even more than that, it's something. It's something. We've had the same basic operating system since the introduction of the first iPhone. There have been minor updates and changes, but that was it. Meanwhile other operating systems of competitors such as Android have been making advances on their systems. Apple needed something different. Just something different was enough.…

He then began to think of other such things that should be on a list of things every man should know, and what everybody should know how to do - love. The album includes many collaborators, including Branford Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis. Jerry Weldon, Jonathan DuBose, Jr., and Brian Sutton. FIVE FACTS: 1.…

NEW YORK - Apple says it received between 4,000 and 5,000 requests from U.S. law enforcement for customer data for the six months ended in May. The company, like some other businesses, had asked the U.S government to be able to share how many requests it received related to national security and how it handled them. Those requests were made as part of Prism, the recently revealed highly classified National Security Agency program that seizes records from Internet companies. Prism appears to do what its name suggests. Like a triangular piece of glass, Prism takes large beams of data and helps the government find discrete, manageable strands of information. Prism was revealed this month by The Washington Post and Guardian newspapers, and has touched off the latest round in a…

NEW YORK - A top Apple Inc. executive described as Steve Jobs' right-hand man took the witness stand at a Manhattan price-fixing trial and denied scheming with major book publishers to drive up the cost of electronic books. Eddy Cue was questioned about meetings he had in 2009 with chief executives of publishing houses about what they called their "Amazon problem" - the discounted $9.99 price that Amazon.com set for e-books. "They expressed to us that they wanted higher prices/' he said. Cue was the chief negotiator in deals with the publishers that allowed them to set prices as high as $14.99 for sales in Apple's new iBookstore. But he denied that the deals were calculated to force Amazon into similar agreements that would raise its prices as well. Jobs…

The company on Monday unveiled the new operating system with the biggest redesign to the iPhone's software since the device launched in 2007. While some welcomed the new look, others criticized it. Among the top complaints were the lack of consistency in some of the apps' designs and the heavy use of bright, neon colors. Apple may be listening. The company's mobile website is currently displaying icons for some of Apple's iOS 7 apps that are different from those that Apple unveiled on Monday. Most notably, the website shows a Weather app icon that says 73 degrees in thin letters. That's…
