Tweet The first beta version of OS X Mountain Lion supports new graphics cards. According to Netkas , Mountain Lion now supports Radeon HD 6950 and 6970 without any editing. Indeed, a hacker Netkas is well known for providing methods to operate PC graphics cards on Mac (for Mac graphics cards use an internal firmware change). Moreover, for the first time, Mountain Lion suggests support for graphics cards AMD Radeon HD 7700, 7800 and 7900 on Mac OS X, a first since the arrival of the first Radeon HD 7970 on the market last December.

Tweet As many will know, when starting or restarting a Mac you have a classic sound to alert the user that operation, but for some users who dislike the sound and want to disable it, there is way to do. For this, I point out an interesting utility that will do the trick. The reasons why a person might want to disable the startup sound reproduction of the classic are different and might regard a mere personal desire, as well as a requirement dictated by the situation and of where we are. It may be possible to temporarily work around this problem by keeping pressed the “mute” during startup or restart the Mac, but through the utility StartNinja, you can take a permanent solution. StartupNinja, available for free download, allows users to permanently disable the sound offending, keeping active all remaining assets of the Mac’s sound You can download StartNinja for free.

Tweet Several Apple TV owners around the world are using Twitter to complain about the problem that is hurting these days the device’s ability to play YouTube videos through the internet section of the main menu. When you look, in fact, play a video, the screen is returned to the following string: No content was found. There is a problem communicating with YouTube. Try again later. The problem seems to be the backend and then cover with Youtube and Google is not the Cupertino company. Seem to be especially affected by this problem connected users from Japan, Australia, Canada and several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, Denmark, Romania, Argentina and Croatia. In the U.S., however, the problem seems to persist, although the first reports come from their own states. We tested the functionality on our Apple TV: we did not encounter any problem and we were able to easily navigate through YouTube and view any movie. It therefore seems to be an isolated problem that concerns all users.  

Tweet Data are available relating to the installation of Cydia on iPhone 4S and iPad 2 over the last few days since the release of the first tool to jailbreak these two A5 devices. Cydia was installed on new 491,325 iPhone 4S and 308,967 iPad 2, with an additional 152,940 installations iPad 2 already released previously (iOS 4) for a total of more than 950,000 installations in just over 3 days. “Here’s a quick breakdown of how many A5 owners have jailbroken their devices since Friday morning. The numbers as of Monday afternoon are: 491,325 new iPhone 4S devices 308,967 new iPad 2 devices 152,940 previously jailbroken (at 4.x) iPad 2 devices Total: 953,232 new A5 jailbreaks in a little over 3 days. The reason these numbers can be so precise is that one of the housekeeping activities that happens when you launch Cydia is a query to @saurik’s server for the list of available SHSH blobs. (Even if you have none on file, the query is still made).” [IDB]

Tweet The year that has just started and there is something to say about the expected sale record of Apple iPad. It is quite obvious to say that Apple will launch iPad 3 this year which could boost the sale of all iPad version to nearly 50 million units in 2012. According to the study, the estimated sales of iPad this year stood at around 48 million: it is likely, therefore, that the final result will be even higher. At the time the various Android tablet does not seem to be able to trouble the iPad, which could find a formidable rival only in the Amazon Kindle Fire (fairly inexpensive and compact). At this point you have to wait for the presentation of the iPad 3, a terminal which should ensure higher performance and the launch of which should lead to a decrease in the price of the current model.

Qualcomm is the company that now provides chips for cellular communication on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 CDMA and iPad 2, and would close in this sense, a cross-licensing agreement with Samsung for their marketing, agreement on which is based Apple’s defense to charges of violation of the Samsung as it had licensed its products by Qualcomm, the South Korean company would not have the right to complain about an alleged violation on the same products. The purpose of the new request filed with the District Court of California, originally discovered by the Korea Times and confirmed by a spokesman for Lim Yoon-jeon of South Korean giant, would be to see if they are present or not the conditions for the effective violation, and if Apple is considered a “direct client” of Qualcomm, a term found in some of the agreements drawn up between the Samsung and the latter company. If the partnership agreement between Apple and Qualcomm would actually be this in particular, Apple would be ‘immune’ to the allegations.
