Possible leaked iPod nano case shows new design

According to our sister site, Engadget, a leaked iPod nano case shows a new design that is completely different than the current nano. All this comes after Kevin Rose, of Digg fame, created a rumor that among other things, a new iPod nano might be coming in September.

Beelan, a Chinese accessory maker apparently has a case ready for shipping via Alibaba. The design of the 4th generation iPod nano would appear to have a curved face and might return to its roots with a long, slender design.

What do you think? Is this real, or fake? Be sure to sound-off in the comments.

FCC leaks Apple's request for iPhone confidentiality



Perhaps Apple should have sent the FCC a request of confidentiality for their request for confidentiality on the iPhone. Engadget has found a copy of Apple's request to the FCC to keep the iPhone under wraps. Whether or not they will (or can) keep Apple's big play into mobile phones quiet remains to be seen, but Engadget quickly speculates at the possibility of slip-ups like this, as well as quick-to-rip off competition from Asian manufacturers, sparking an early release from Apple.

Could June 15th easily become March, April or May 15th? Only time can tell. For now, however, it looks like the FCC might be our best bet for more leaky iPhone bits.

More juicy in-depth Leopard screenshots of Spaces, Mail, Safari and more

At this point it seems like these websites are placing bets between each other to see who can get closest to an NDA violation without actually getting nailed with one. HardMac has posted the latest set of (non-blurry, properly grabbed) screenshots of some hitherto unforeseen areas of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, including the Spaces and Time machine system preference setup panes, Mail.app stationary and a photo browser (which might make these iTunes and iPhoto library browsers extinct), RSS feeds and setup, notes in Mail with todos and calendar settings, as well as exclusives of new Finder functionality (note the lack of brushed metal in the Smart Folder) and Preview features.

So far I'd have to say this is probably the most exciting set of screenshots as they are some of the most revealing of new features and abilities in Leopard. Er, I mean, a friend told me they look really great... check them out while they're still live boys and girls.

New Cleveland Apple Store leaked


An anonymous tipster has clued us in to a Cleveland mall's website PR stunt mix-up in leaking an upcoming Apple Store. That's right west-side Cleveland, Ohio residents - soon you won't have to trek across town just to get your iPod reset or to score an ice pack for your MacBook Pro: the Croker Park mall (as of this writing) has let the cat out of the bag and listed an Apple Store as 'Coming Soon' on their website.

We don't have any other word on when your Apple-related commutes will be going on a diet, so let us know if you start seeing grand opening displays on your next trip to Croker Park's food court.

Liquid cooled Power Macs are leaking

LeaksImagine waking up one morning to find that a glowing green goo was dripping from the cheese-grater bottom of your shiny Power Mac. Horrible even to imagine, I know. Unfortunately, this has become a reality for some owners of recent liquid cooled Power Macs.

According to reports, the leaks stem from malfunctioning Delphi radiators that shipped in early versions of the systems. If you have an early 2.5 GHz liquid cooled machine, it might be worth sliding off the side panel to check for leaks. Naturally, if you do come across a bit of Macintosh incontinence, stop using the machine right away, and schedule an appointment at the nearest genius bar. As is always the case with product failures and Apple, there is discussion about weather whether the issue will be covered by some sort of extended repair program for machines out of warranty. For now at least, it seems Apple is choosing to fix most machines that come in with the problem.

Appellate arguments heard in Apple v. Does subpoena dispute

A California appellate court heard arguments yesterday on a highly charged discovery issue about a subpoena issued by Apple in its trade secret lawsuit, Apple v. Does. The twists and turns of legal process can be a mystery to non-lawyers and even to those of us who had the dubious honor of sweating through law school and years of practice. So here's some background that may help put yesterday's proceedings in context.

The discovery issue is an offshoot of the main Apple v. Does case, filed in December 2004, in which Apple alleges that unnamed defendants ("Does"), leaked trade secrets about an unreleased Apple product to several blogs, including PowerPage.org and AppleInsider.com, which published the information. The unreleased product, code-named Asteroid, was a firewire interface for GarageBand.

The discovery dispute argued yesterday is a side issue about a subpoena that Apple sent to nFox, the email ISP for PowerPage.org, seeking emails and other information that might reveal the identity of the sources who leaked the alleged trade secrets. PowerPage.org publisher Jason O'Grady, along with two other online publishers, filed a motion for a protective order against Apple in February, 2005 asking for a stay of the nFox subpoena. Neither nFox, O'Grady, nor the other online publishers in the discovery action are named parties in the main lawsuit. O'Grady et al are represented in the discovery suit by The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
