5 great iOS catapult games, without the birds

I lean toward simple, puzzle-based challenges that grow in complexity with each level when it comes to iPhone gaming. Angry Birds not only fits that category; it defines it. But if you're looking for a catapult-style game without the birds, we've got you covered.

Case-Mate Preps for Release of iPhone 5 Cases with Revamped Design

We've published a number of articles about iPhone 5 cases suggesting that the device will be significantly wider but thinner than the iPhone 4, but most of those cases have been sourced from relatively low-profile Asian suppliers so far. As noted by BGR, larger U.S. companies such as Case-Mate are now getting into the picture with their own cases based on the same rumored design.

Case-Mate earlier today posted a number of different iPhone 5 case designs, only to quickly pull the page as it began to receive publicity. The cases seem to show the same rounded and tapered profile of other iPhone 5 cases, along with the mute switch being move from the left side of the device to the right side.


Concrete evidence for a redesigned iPhone 5 has been surprisingly scant, with case designs being essentially the only sign of such a revamp. Meanwhile, a number of parts have been surfacing for Apple's "N94" iPhone that is based on the iPhone 4 design and has been informally referred to as the iPhone 4S. Consequently, doubts have been raised about whether the redesigned form factor will actually be making an appearance, with supply chain checks reporting no sign of the device and only the iPhone 4S entering production.

It is difficult to point to Case-Mate's posting as further proof of an imminent redesigned iPhone 5, as the cases are likely based on the same leaked design document used by Asian manufacturers, a document whose authenticity has been called into question given the lack of supporting evidence for such a device. But it is interesting to note that even relatively major U.S.-based case manufacturers are investing in designs for cases based on this form factor.

Bentley offers Mac mini, iPads option for 100,000 euros

Bentley is showcasing a new Apple-centric option in its Mulsanne line of luxury automobiles. The add-on package will install one Mac mini and two iPads in the over-sized V8 Touring car. The Mac mini is hidden in the trunk and connected to an LCD installed on the interior ceiling. The LCD swivels down from the ceiling and sits in between the rear seats. There's even a Magic Trackpad to control the computer.

In the center console, there are controls that open two trays in the back of the front seats. Each tray has an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard so you can work while you're being chauffeured all over the town. This highly desirable Apple package is a concept Bentley is showing off. It may or may not land in an actual car. If it is eventually offered, the package will cost 100,000 euro (US $138,580) on top of the car's 250,000 euro base price ($346,00).

Ex-Samsung manager confesses to leaking iPad part data

A former manager with Samsung US, Suk-Joo Hwang, had admitted to leaking details of parts shipments for the first-generation iPad, Bloomberg reports.

Apple pulls app critical of iPhone manufacturing process

Apple has removed from sale the game "Phone Story," a retro-styled satiric app that hoped to use its content to make a point about the hidden cost of consumer electronics, most notably Apple's iPhone. While the game was in violation of Apple's developer guidelines -- a fact creator Paolo Pedercini readily concedes -- he says his intention was not to shock but to offer sharp criticism of modern tech consumerism generally, reports Giant Bomb....

Intel details Near Threshold Voltage Processor, memory cubes

Intel in its third Developer Forum keynote in as many days showed off two long-term future technologies. The Near Threshold Voltage Processor, teased earlier, uses very low voltage circuits that can dip to as low as 10mW under light tasks, just above the namesake power levels needed for transistors to work, CTO Justin Rattner said. Its efficiency is enough that, in the Wednesday keynote, Intel had shown the processor running on a stamp-sized solar cell....

Intel Cactus Ridge to power Thunderbolt on 2012 Macs, PCs

Intel in one of the side notes from its Developer Forum presentations has outlined the Thunderbolt controllers that will drive computers based on Ivy Bridge processors.

As such, the high-end Cactus Ridge chip will have four channels that each have a symmetric 10Gbps and two DisplayPort links, while the budget version will have just two of those channels and one DisplayPort link....
