not sure about the photo but news recently came out that ipad mini recently began production
from:theverge.com
The Wall Street Journal is this morning citing sources from within Apple's supply chain in asserting that the company has begun production of a new tablet device, which is smaller than its 9.7-inch iPad. Two of the informants claim the new device's screen measures 7.85 inches diagonally — affirming what Bloomberg reported in August — with LG Display and AU Optronics having started manufacturing the LCD panels for it last month. The resolution on this purported new slate is said to be lower than on the latest iPad, but that's to be expected given the 2048 x 1536 Retina resolution on the bigger tablet.
With a lower resolution and smaller physical size, the widespread expectation for any new iPad model is that it will fill out Apple's range against the aggressively priced Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 slates from Amazon and Google. Of course, the rumored size here is marginally bigger than those 7-inch tablets, and Apple's eventual price can also probably be expected to be at least a little bit higher.
While the WSJ report refers to this device as a "Mini iPad," it has most commonly been rumored alongside the name of iPad mini. Today's news follows a note posted to Japanese blog Macotakara on Monday, which stated that production of an iPad mini had begun in a Foxconn plant over in Brazil, although the Journal's information is coming from Apple's Asian component makers.
Maybe the iPhone5 can detect human aura.
Psychic Edgar Cayce claims that colors of aura have spiritual significance.
Edgar Cayce - Auras, An Essay on the Meaning of ColorsIndigo and violet indicate seekers of all types, people who are searching for a cause or a religious experience. As these people get settled in their careers and in their beliefs, however, these colors usually settle back into deep blue. It seems that once the purpose is set in the right direction, blue is a natural emanation of the soul. Those who have purple are inclined to be overbearing, for here there is an infiltration of pink. Heart trouble and stomach trouble are rather common to persons with indigo, violet and purple in their auras.

it is not a 'bug'. it is a 'feature' accdg to apple monthly e-mail
the violet haze is a pure spectrum outside the colour gamut of the rgb colour space. it's a special attribute of the phone which can simulate the 'third eye' of psychics/ occultist who are able to see the 'aura' in a person. often violet aura surrounds performance artists, photographers, and visionaries. cool, noh?
the map issue is a 'bug'? are you crazy, the thing can monitor seismic activity anywhere else in the world and predict the exact location where the next shift will occur. i recently checked where my old house is and sure enough i saw what will happen to the area after a major magnitude hits it. that ghetto's gone! the fre8kin' thing knows when 'judgment day' is. pretty scary feature
you say it has paint issues? apple say it's aluminium alloy is patented kobe steel grade in which the microstructure is so fine, conventional paint just slides off its surface. sleek as a baby's buttocks.
problems at foxconn you say. the deaths? apple claims that's how precious your iphone is, echoing churchill's great speech 'i have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat'. tells me, churchills an apple fan, but i don't agree with apple's claim.
the slave labour? apple says, watch it, bud. who stitched up nazi ss uniforms during ww2? that's right, hugo boss. and what does de beers, cartier and tiffany&co have in common? correct again, blood diamonds mined by slave-labourers. apple says to think twice next time when you order online your birkins and designer wear with your ip5. apple is so fullosh*t and i can't help but agree with apple.
so there you go folks, it's not a 'bug'
it's just a 'case-closed-so-deal-with-it' feature by/accdg to apple. happy now?

the minipad will be rebranded in the phils as 'ipandak'. blame apple
Honestly, I don't understand these foxconn workers. If they don't like the job, they should just quit. We, the world, don't need to be bothered with all their petty issues. We only need the iProducts to be up to standard spec. We don't like meeting the cow where our steak came from, either.
The real issue here is that the chinks don't like QA. Apple seriously need to move elsewhere where quality is part of the people's culture, or passion like Germany (but that would be expensive). They should just move their ops to USA (or Japan). I'd be more than willing to pay premium for a Made in USA iPhone. This iP5 is garbage. I don't really expect stellar quality for china products but damn, the issues are way too serious for its price.
Well, if you've worked hard during your college days, yes, it's easy as a pie. At the end of the day, people who worked diligently for a stellar CV and TOR will get hired in a blink. Yung mga skul bukol, medyo hirap talaga. hehe.
Pwede rin naman mag-apply muna sa iba before you actually quit so wala kang unproductive period.
I don't know if it's just me but Foxconn employee issues are way too overrated and petty for it to even be called news and bother the people who aren't concerned with the nitty gritty of production of consumer goods.

Hehehe I agree. Pero paminsan-minsan may ilang iskul bukol sa sinuswerte. Ung isa nga nasa senado pa, putek kaya walang nangyayari sa bansa natin.
I guess it comes with the territory. You will get scrutinized for everything you do being one of the largest companies in the world. Even if they are not directly responsible for the so called labor malpractices, they are still liable.
Also, alam naman natin ang sitwasyon ng labor workers sa China, overworked and under payed. Kahit naman sino magrereklamo sa ganung sitwasyon.
naku ser maling-mali ang iyong hinala... hindi iisa yung member ng iskul bukol sa senado. hindi lang sila pumasok sa wanbol university. hirap pangalanan baka masampolan tayo ng cybercrime.
Sikat ngayon itong reporter na to, pero knowing na nasa china sya ay imbes gaganda ang katayuan baka ito ang magpahamak pa sa kanya
my wife is eyeing for Sony Xperia P kesa iphone4 sa tingin nyo guys ok kaya ang Xperia P? taz bibili nalang daw sya ng tabley na Coby kyros...
