Jobs unveils Apple's latest innovations

Apple on Tuesday introduced a movie rental service and an ultralight Mac notebook that could set a new industry standard for thinness. “This is the world’s thinnest notebook,” said Steve Jobs. Perhaps its most interesting feature, however, is the one that is missing. The new notebook, the MacBook Air, does not come equipped with an optical drive for playing CDs and DVDs, though one is available as an option for $99. Instead, Apple has equipped it with remote software that lets users play DVDs and CDs on another computer as if they were on the notebook. The new iTunes Movie Rental service, available immediately as a free software update, is offering movies newly released on DVD for download at $3.99 and movies from the rental library for $2.99. Customers have 30 days to view a movie after they have rented it, but only 24 hours to view it completely once they started it. A movie can be moved between devices, such as Macs, TVs and iPod. Steve Jobs also announced a new version of Apple TV that does not require a cable for users to play movies from iTunes directly on the television. The company also released an update to the iPhone that includes several new features, like the ability to send text messages to multiple people at the same time and the addition of maps that show the user’s location. “All of this in two weeks, and we’ve got 50 more weeks to go,” Jobs said.

Security Update 20006-008

Apple has just released Security Update 20006-008, which is recommended for all users and improves the security. This update patches a security vulnerability that could affect Quartz Composer and QuickTime for Java (not prior to Mac OS X 10.4 said Apple).
"Java applets may use QuickTime for Java to obtain the images rendered on screen by embedded QuickTime objects and upload them to the originating web site," Apple explained. "When this facility is used in conjunction with Quartz Composer, it becomes possible to capture images that may contain local information."
The update is available via your Software Update or at Apple .

Jonathan Ive, Apple Designer

London born designer Jonathan Ive is the senior vice president of Industrial Design at Apple, reporting directly to the CEO, Steve Jobs. Since 1996 he has been responsible for leading a design team widely regarded as one of the world’s best. Jobs and Ive worked together on the iMac's launch in 1998. "It's a shocking statement for a CEO to say publicly, as Steve has, that the goal of a company isn't to make money, it's to make great products," Ive said. Recognized with numerous design awards, Apple products have become celebrated design icons featured in the permanent collections of museums worldwide including MOMA in New York and the Pompidou in Paris.
Ive has been awarded a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) by The Queen. The award recognizes Ive's international achievement in the field of industrial design, having led the team responsible for the design of groundbreaking products such as the iMac, iBook, Powerbook and iPod at Apple.
