An Apple employee (call him "Alpha") who works in the iPhone Development Department has leaked some information to us recently, most of which will come as a surprise to many. The amount of shocking information leaked is beyond the grasp of an individual and shows how far Apple and AT&T will go to lock their users and steal their information while they have no clue about it.

Apple has begun processing iPhone 4 bumper case refunds for those who purchased one through Apple's online store.

John Gruber of Daring Fireball, who has a track record of "predicting" the release dates of Apple products, says that a new iPod touch with a Retina Display and dual cameras will be out in a few weeks.

"Apple's reputation is on the line yet again as some reports have disclosed that Apple knew back in 2009 about the iPhone 4 reception problems, but did not take any measures to eliminate it. Since the launch of iPhone 4, numerous customers, especially those who are based in US have been complaining about the bad reception on their iPhone 4."

iPhone apps for K-12 sounds like early Apple almost 30 years ago!

Propagator provides a GUI for pushing out files to Macs on your local network. This is useful for OS X system administrators who wish to update all of their managed client machines with a specific file, most commonly property list (.plist) files. This functionality can also be achieved using Apple Remote Desktop, but a free alternative is always worth taking a look. My two favorite aspects of Propagator are its Common Places drop down menu for quickly specifying common locations to drop files (such as long ~/Library paths), and it's Set Ownership check box for giving proper ownership of the file to the right user accounts. The option to Lock Files After Copy prevents users (in my case, students and unknowing faculty) from messing with your work, accidentally or not.

Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 3G and the G1 with Google (GOOG) unveiled on Tuesday have a lot in common. Both are smart phones designed for users who want easier access to the Web than is offered by the current generation of RIM (RIMM) BlackBerries.

And they share some of the same flaws - both are locked to their respective networks, both lack video recording capability and full cut-and-paste text editing, to name just a few.
