Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - iOS 7's Activation Lock Feature Has Helped Reduce iPhone Theft in Some Cities
iPhone theft has been rising for years now; however, police in New York, San Francisco and London say that they’re finally starting to see a dip in thefts of the popular smartphone. Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman believes the decline in iPhone theft is thanks to Apple’s Activation Lock feature that debuted with iOS 7 last September.
Police officers in San Francisco and London say that after Apple introduced its measure, called Activation Lock, last fall, iPhone theft fell significantly. Comparing data in the six months before and after Apple released the feature, the police said iPhone robberies in San Francisco dropped 38 percent, and those in London fell 24 percent.
The police in New York said that robberies involving Apple products dropped 19 percent and those involving grand larcenies dropped 29 percent in the first five months of 2014, compared with the same time period from 2013.

A teardown of the new entry-level iMac by OWC reveals that the desktop has soldered memory which can’t be upgraded.
Now that we’ve had time to teardown the new iMac, unlike the $1,299 iMac, we found this iMac has the memory soldered to the motherboard removing any possibility of adding additional memory. Users will be permanently locked in to the 8GB of memory, as there is no Apple factory upgrade option.
The new iMac costs $1099, $200 less than the previous entry-level iMac. It features a 1.4GHz Dual-Core i5 processor, a HD 5000 Graphics card and a 500GB hard drive.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - T-Mobile Offers Free Unlimited Music Streaming, Announces New unRadio Service
At its Uncarrier 5 event T-Mobile decided to also hold a surprise ‘Uncarrier 6’ event that focused on music. T-Mobile customers can now stream an unlimited amount of Pandora, Rhapsody, iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Slacker, Spotify, Samsung Milk and Beatport without it counting against their data cap. Currently, you can only stream an unlimited amount of music from the select services listed above, but T-Mobile is asking customers to let them know which other services they would like to see included.
“As a committed music freak, I’m personally outraged at the way the other guys are using the music you love to lure you into over-priced plans with sweet ‘promotional offers’ that quickly roll into higher prices or trigger those absurd overage charges,” said T-Mobile CEO and President John Legere. “Music should be free of all that. Music should have no limits. So, beginning right now, you can stream all you want at T-Mobile from all of the top music services – data charges do not apply.”
“Our competitors want you to believe that Internet radio is still free on their networks – but it’s not,” said Mike Sievert, Chief Marketing Officer for T-Mobile. “On AT&T and Verizon, you’re paying for every note of every song you stream. You even pay for the ads. Our goal with Music Freedom is different. We want people to enjoy their music worry-free – the way it’s meant to be.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Sharp Announces New 'Free-Form Display' That Can Be Made In Any Shape
Sharp has announced the development of a ‘Free-Form Display’, a revolutionary advancement that enables the creation of new display designs to match a variety of applications.
—
LCDs have contributed to the emergence and spread of a range of application products by offering not just display-related functions such as high brightness, wide viewing angle, high resolution, and superb color purity, but also by providing added value through, for example, greater environmental performance and a superior user interface thanks to touch-panel functions. In addition, LCD application product manufacturers want to offer consumers products with a more polished design, and Sharp has responded by providing these manufacturers with displays that boast features like slim profiles, light weight, and thin bezels.Continuing on this tradition of innovation, Sharp announces the development of the Free-Form Display, a device that can be shaped to meet a wide range of user needs thanks to the incorporation of IGZO technology and proprietary circuit design methods. Conventional displays are rectangular because they require a minimal width for the bezel in order to accommodate the drive circuit, called the gate driver, around the perimeter of the screen’s display area. With the Free-Form Display, the gate driver’s function is dispersed throughout the pixels on the display area. This allows the bezel to be shrunk considerably, and it gives the freedom to design the LCD to match whatever shape the display area of the screen needs to be.

The notification only occurs when the Apple TV and Mac are running on the same WiFi network which hints that Apple is working on ways for Yosemite to interact with Apple TVs. Unfortunately, Continuity with Apple TV has not been outlined by Apple, and the latest developer previews of the software hint at no ways the feature will be used.
