NBC iPad app offers free TV episodes

NBC’s iPad app just got an update after which it is offering many of its TV shows free for live streaming (take that Hulu).

By Suzanne ChoneySan Francisco police are conducting an internal investigation into the conduct of officers who accompanied Apple employees on a hunt for a missing iPhone prototype.aA police spokesman confirmed the probe to CNET and to SF Weekly, which both have been doing some investigating of their own in the case, which seems to have more twists than a pretzel.aFirst, the police department said officers were not involved in searching for the missing phone, giving some the impression that Apple's own investigators were impersonating officers by going into a man's home to search for the phone in July. Then, the police department said it did accompany Apple investigators, but that officers stood by while those investigators conducted the search. No police report was filed by Apple.aPolice...

Spot the Apple in this picture?

The following picture looks like Sushi right? You are correct but what is interesting is the device this picture was taken with. While the EXIF data will tell you it is an iPhone 4 that took this picture, sharper eyes saw that the original size of this picture was close to 8MP that was later cropped to 5MP. As we all know, the iPhone 4 does not have an 8MP camera fueling the argument that this image is from the next iPhone. Score for pocketnow.com This (very attractive) photo claims to have been taken by an iPhone 4, but the rest of its EXIF data tells a different story: although the image has been cropped to 2235×2291 (5.12 megapixels), the original picture was a much larger 3264×2448 — or just shy of eight megapixels. What’s more, the lens was recorded as a 4.3mm f/2.4,...
