    &lt;p&gt;Mac OS X users are about to have a new option for a native Cocoa e-mail client&amp;#8212;as long as they use the IMAP protocol and prefer a very spartan user interface. Called &lt;a href="http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/"&gt;Sparrow&lt;/a&gt;, the app's developers recently launched a public beta to get some feedback on the features and design. With over 20,000 downloads in just one day, the developers are scrambling to massage the beta into a 1.0 release and answer the massive flood of user feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We spoke with Dominique Leca and Dihn Viêt Hoà about their motivation to create a Mac OS X e-mail client, fueled by innovative iPad apps and frustration with vaporware projects. We also spent a little time with the beta of Sparrow to check out its Twitter-influenced user interface.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;New York Times&lt;/em&gt; is &lt;a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/microsoft-and-adobe-chiefs-meet-to-discuss-partnerships/"&gt;reporting&lt;/a&gt; that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has recently been at a secret meeting with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen to discuss topics including the two companies' mutual competitor, Apple.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Times&lt;/em&gt; says that the companies were investigating ways to partner in order to do battle with Apple. One option was for Microsoft to acquire Adobe, a claim that has seen Adobe's stock price surge by more than 10 percent.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;This week in Apple, we did not one, but &lt;em&gt;two&lt;/em&gt; reviews for your reading pleasure: the 12-core Mac pro and the new Apple TV. We also discussed how to encode video for the iPhone 4, the iPad's adoption rate, and a patent lawsuit that has Apple in a bind. Read on for the roundup.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Leaked report: worker abuse, violence continues at Foxconn</title>
   
   <author>jacqui@arstechnica.com (Jacqui Cheng)</author>
  
    <description>&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/10/leaked-foxconn-report-details-supposed-worker-abuse-despite-raises.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;
  &lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" width="230" height="129" src="http://static.arstechnica.net/brief_icons/gadgets-brief.png" /&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    
&lt;p&gt;Electronic gadget manufacturer Foxconn is under fire&amp;#8212;yes, again&amp;#8212;for alleged worker abuse. The Chinese state-run &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://business.globaltimes.cn/industries/2010-10/579978.html"&gt;Global Times&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; claims to have information from an as-yet-unreleased report by Foxconn itself on the results of its worker investigation, which details safety issues, "violent training," and low wages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The survey was conducted on Foxconn's behalf by researchers from several universities located in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. They surveyed 1,736 workers, and 14 researchers were reportedly allowed first-hand access to Foxconn's facilities to check it out for themselves. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite widespread reports that Foxconn had given employees a 30 percent raise earlier this year, the newspaper claims that workers got a maximum of 9.1 percent while losing many of their other benefits and bonuses. Student interns sometimes made up as much as half of the staff in Foxconn's Shenzhen, Kunshan, Taiyuan, Wuhan, and Shanghai plants, and they were supposedly forced to work overtime and night shifts against local law. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(It's unclear whether the interns get paid from working at Foxconn, but &lt;em&gt;Global Times&lt;/em&gt; claims that Foxconn doesn't sign contracts with them so that the company doesn't have to pay their social welfare or medical costs.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, 38.1 percent of those surveyed said their privacy had been invaded by management, and 16.4 percent reported being subject to "corporal violence." And finally, although the company is supposed to provide workers exposed to hazardous materials with regular health checks, at least one unnamed employee said that he only received two medical checks in his 16 years at Foxconn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some critics of the report argue that the &lt;em&gt;Global Times&lt;/em&gt; is acting as a puppet for the Chinese government, which allegedly has unnamed "issues" with Foxconn. However, Foxconn has long had a controversial history when it comes to wages, safety, and worker treatment. The company has been &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2006/06/7039.ars"&gt;subject&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/07/labor-issues-in-china-continue-to-plague-apple-and-others.ars"&gt;repeat&lt;/a&gt; investigations in recent years, though most of the companies that use Foxconn for manufacturing have yet to find sufficient reason to take their business elsewhere. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Which companies are those, anyway? Apple is the most common name that gets attached to Foxconn news, but other big names like Nintendo, Sony, Nokia, Dell, and HP have all contracted with Foxconn for various products. Foxconn has been on a big PR push since news spread about worker suicides earlier this year, but has yet to respond to the claims made in the latest report. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Delicious Monster takes on iOS and Google with Noogle Noggles</title>

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Delicious Monster's Wil Shipley experimented with an iPhone app as a companion to his company's &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2008/05/do-not-adjust-your-browser-delicious-library-2-is-out.ars" title="Ars Technica: Do not adjust your browser: Delicious Library 2 is out"&gt;Delicious Library&lt;/a&gt; desktop app, but was soured when Amazon pulled the plug on the mobile use of its API. Still, the itch to build iPhone apps needed scratching, so Shipley decided to bring a Google Googles client to the iPhone as a way to experiment with user interface ideas and work with the new service. Little did he know that Google would add &lt;a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/10/open-your-eyes-google-goggles-now.html"&gt;official Goggles support&lt;/a&gt; to its Google Mobile app for iPhone the same week his app was &lt;a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noogle-noggles/id394820851?mt=8" title="iTunes Store: Noogle Noggles"&gt;approved for the App Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The question is, as Shipley put it, "who has the better interface?" And, can a small indie developer "beat Google at their own game?" We took both apps for a quick test drive to see.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>New Apple music subscription rumor pegs price at $10/month</title>
   
   <author>jacqui@arstechnica.com (Jacqui Cheng)</author>
  
    <description>&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/10/new-apple-music-subscription-rumor-pegs-price-at-10month.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;
  &lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" width="230" height="129" src="http://static.arstechnica.net/brief_icons/apple-brief.png" /&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Just because Apple didn't announce a music streaming service at its September media event, it doesn't mean the rumors are dead yet. The &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/apple_is_changing_its_tune_on_music_z2drJiGB2bbn1ZYBoMdTpI"&gt;New York Post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#8212;which has a checkered history with rumors&amp;#8212;claims that Apple is still in talks with music labels to roll out a monthly subscription service, citing unnamed music industry sources.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The number being tossed around is $10 to $15 per month for the streaming subscription, though a number of details are still left in the air, such as how much music users would be able to access in a month, and for how long. If Apple followed the same model as other subscription services out there, the answers to those questions would be "unlimited" and "until the subscription is canceled." There's no guarantee it will play out that way, though, as Apple likes to do its own thing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other than the fact that the talks are still ongoing and a price is being bandied about, the report offers no further details except that one music exec seems optimistic about the proposal. At the same time, Apple &lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-20018971-261.html"&gt;allegedly argued against&lt;/a&gt; streaming music service &lt;a href="http://www.spotify.com"&gt;Spotify&lt;/a&gt;'s US launch during a recent meeting with music execs, saying that it could hurt download sales. Spotify's model is probably different from what Apple is looking into, though&amp;#8212;the service offers free streams, but subscribers can pay to get better bitrates. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rumors about Apple considering a streaming service &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2007/04/apple-going-to-offer-itunes-subscription-service-concentrate-and-ask-again.ars"&gt;go back for years&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8212;since long before the company &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/01/cloud-storage-may-be-main-focus-of-apples-lala-buyout.ars"&gt;bought music-streaming service Lala&lt;/a&gt;. The Lala acquisition has &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/12/apple-to-fold-lala-into-itunes-transform-into-web-service.ars"&gt;accelerated&lt;/a&gt; those rumors, though, with many disappointed that Apple failed to make some kind of streaming announcement at last month's&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/08/apple-confirms-music-focused-media-event-for-september-1.ars"&gt;music event&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether such an announcement will come anytime soon is anyone's guess, but our experience tells us that when there's smoke, there's fire. The fact that rumors are heating up is an indication that &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt; is going on behind the scenes.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Feature: The $300 quadrocopter: your iPhone is a remote control</title>
   
   <author>bkuchera@arstechnica.com (Ben Kuchera)</author>
  
    <media:content url="http://static.arstechnica.net/assets/2010/09/ardronefinal-thumb-300x169-16827-f.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="169" width="300" />

              
    <description>&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/10/the-300-quadrocopter-your-iphone-is-a-remote-control.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/usa/"&gt;Parrot AR.Drone is a $300 toy&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;That's a lot of money to drop on something you'll fly around your home or at the park. After playing with the hardware, however, that price is more than acceptable: there is a whole lot of technology crammed into that lightweight frame. This is a quadrocopter with two cameras, an onboard computer running Linux, and the ability to play virtual games with real-world hardware. If you're into flying toys, playing with software, or simply finding new and novel uses for your iPhone, you'll find something to love here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Plus, this is a very effective platform for instilling terror and respect into your cats or small children. The value of such things cannot be overstated.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;Motorola has launched the next offensive in an increasingly confusing legal war over mobile patents. The company, through its Motorola Mobility subsidiary, has filed patent infringement complaints against Apple in both Northern Illinois and Southern Florida federal district courts. It has also asked the International Trade Commission to block Apple from importing, marketing, or selling iPhones, iPads, iPod touches, and "some Mac products."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Motorola's four complaints involve a total of 18 patents, which the company says covers everything from 3G, GPRS, and 802.11 technologies, antenna design, proximity sensing, device synchronization, and more. Motorola also says that everything from the hardware on up to iOS, MobileMe, and the App Store infringes upon its patented innovations.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How to convert video for the iPhone 4's high-res display</title>
   
   <author>iljitsch.vanbeijnum@arstechnica.com (Iljitsch van Beijnum)</author>
  
    <media:content url="http://static.arstechnica.net/assets/2010/10/iphone-4-video-sw-ars-thumb-300x169-17003-f.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="169" width="300" />

              
    <description>&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/guides/2010/10/converting-video-for-the-iphone-4.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;
  &lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" width="230" height="129" src="http://static.arstechnica.net/assets/2010/10/iphone-4-video-sw-ars-thumb-230x130-17003-f.jpg" /&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
The iPhone 4 just begs for some good video content to be played on its high-resolution display&amp;#8212;which, contrary to popular belief, isn't made of retinas. The easiest way to get video is through Apple's iTunes Store, but there are many reasons why you might want to watch videos that you already have lying around instead.&amp;nbsp;If you're lucky, your video is already in a format that the iPhone supports. In that case, just add the file to iTunes and sync. But what if it's not in the right format?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The iPhone 4, the iPad, and the latest versions of the iPod touch all support H.264 main profile level 3.1. What that means is that you can play HD video with a resolution of up to 1280x720 and a framerate of 30 frames per second. That's a significant step up from the baseline profile level 3.0 (720x480x30 or 720x576x25) that the older iPhones and iPod touches support, and even an improvement over the older Apple TV, which could only play 1280x720 video at 24 frames per second or less. The main profile rather than baseline profile means that it's possible to use more effective compression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
So how to go about creating those H.264 files?
&lt;/p&gt;

Twelve cores and twenty-four threads&amp;#8212;that's what I'm sitting in front of. Even after owning an 8-core Nehalem Xeon Mac Pro, I just wasn't prepared for the 8 extra threads in my new shiny new 12-core Westmere Xeon Mac Pro. It's just that crazy. Sometimes, you look up at the menu bar and you think that &lt;a href="http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/10/in-an-iranian-image-a-missile-too-many/"&gt;Iran has Photoshopped&lt;/a&gt; extra iStat CPU bars up there, to convince you of this machine's awesome powers:

      <title>iPad adoption rate fastest in electronics product history</title>

    <description>&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/10/ipad-adoption-rate-fastest-in-electronics-product-history.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=rss"&gt;
  &lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" width="230" height="129" src="http://static.arstechnica.net/brief_icons/apple-brief.png" /&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Some people still doubt the iPad's chances for success, but current sales rates suggest that the device could rank among top consumer electronics categories within a year. As noted by Bernstein Research analyst Colin McGranahan, consumers are adopting the iPad &lt;a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/39501308" title="CNBC: iPad Adoption Rate Fastest Ever, Passing DVD Player"&gt;faster than any other consumer electronics device&lt;/a&gt;, including the iPhone and the near-ubiquitous DVD player.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"The iPad did not seem destined to be a runaway product success straight out of the box," said McGranahan in a recent note to investors, acknowledging the many criticisms about the iPad's lack of certain features at launch. "By any account, the iPad is a runaway success of unprecedented proportion."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The iPad's current sales rate is approximately 4.5 million units per quarter, according to Bernstein. That tops the &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2008/07/apple-pushes-1-million-iphone-3gs-10-million-iphone-apps.ars" title="Ars Technica: Apple pushes 1 million iPhone 3Gs, 10 million iPhone Apps"&gt;1 million per quarter&lt;/a&gt; that the original iPhone sold at launch, and the 350,000 per quarter when DVD players first launched.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If the current rate persists, the iPad could become a $9 billion per year business, blowing right past game consoles and cell phones to become the fourth largest consumer electronics category. That would put the iPad right behind TVs, smartphones, and laptops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With numbers like these behind it, it's no wonder that companies like &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/09/samsung-announces-galaxy-tab.ars" title="Ars Technica: Samsung fires first Android-powered salvo at iPad with Galaxy Tab"&gt;Samsung&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/09/rim-unveils-playbook-tablet-with-dual-core-cpu-1080p-support.ars" title="Ars Technica: RIM unveils PlayBook tablet with dual-core CPU, 1080p support"&gt;RIM&lt;/a&gt; are rushing to score a piece of the touchscreen tablet market. With yet more competing products in the pipeline, Apple will have to work hard to translate its first-mover advantage into consistently stellar sales as it has done with the iPod and the iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;Apple has been ordered to pay more than $200 million to Mirror Worlds, LLC after having lost a patent infringement case  brought by the company. Apple was found to be in violation of Mirror Worlds' "document streaming" patents, which Apple allegedly used in its implementation of Cover Flow and Time Machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2008/03/apple-hit-with-time-machine-patent-infringement-lawsuit.ars"&gt;Mirror Worlds brought the lawsuit against Apple in 2008&lt;/a&gt;, accusing the company of infringing on four patents, three of which covered a "&lt;a href="http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;amp;d=PALL&amp;amp;p=1&amp;amp;u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm&amp;amp;r=1&amp;amp;f=G&amp;amp;l=50&amp;amp;s1=6,725,427.PN.&amp;amp;OS=PN/6,725,427&amp;amp;RS=PN/6,725,427"&gt;document stream operating system&lt;/a&gt;." The &lt;a href="http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;amp;d=PALL&amp;amp;p=1&amp;amp;u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm&amp;amp;r=1&amp;amp;f=G&amp;amp;l=50&amp;amp;s1=6,725,427.PN.&amp;amp;OS=PN/6,725,427&amp;amp;RS=PN/6,725,427"&gt;fourth patent&lt;/a&gt; extended the other three, describing an information management system based on the document streams. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The document streams outlined in the patents would contain many different types of documents with a similar theme, and would be organized in chronological order and displayed in a pile. Sound a lot like Cover Flow and Time Machine? That's because it is. Anyone who's familiar with the visual document layout of those two technologies knows that they use the same concept: visually displaying documents in a pile that you can scroll through (as pictured above).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The case went all the way to trial, and a federal jury in eastern Texas agreed with Mirror Worlds on three of the four patents (the fourth was tossed earlier this year). According to &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-01/apple-loses-mirror-worlds-trial-over-document-display-patents.html"&gt;Bloomberg&lt;/a&gt;, Mirror Worlds' founder David Gelernter said he was "tremendously grateful" to his lawyers for their performance, but neither he nor his lawyers commented further on the verdict. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;$208.5 million is a drop in the bucket for a company with Apple's bankroll, but it has to be an irritation for a company that has been implementing similar document display concepts in Hypercard for far longer than the patents ever existed.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Feature: Ars reviews the Apple TV 2.0: little, black, different</title>

  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;"Should I get an Apple TV?" &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/09/new-apple-tv-is-99-eliminates-storage-and-integrates-netflix.ars"&gt;Before September of 2010&lt;/a&gt;, that question was a lot less interesting than it is now. Apple has given its set-top box a second go, making numerous changes in hopes that the new, tiny, $99 version will eventually take the device past &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/02/three-years-later-apple-tv-remains-a-hobby.ars"&gt;hobby status&lt;/a&gt;. The new and improved Apple TV offers commercial-free TV show rentals, Netflix streaming built-in, and AirPlay so that users can stream iOS content directly to their TVs&amp;#8212;all without requiring users to jailbreak or install unsupported software. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, the new Apple TV is also now severely limited when it comes to the content available from iTunes, and it still doesn't have (native) apps. Does the good balance out the bad? Who is the right audience for this thing anyway? 
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>iPhone user privacy at risk from apps that transmit personal info</title>
   
   <author>jacqui@arstechnica.com (Jacqui Cheng)</author>
  
    <media:content url="http://static.arstechnica.net/assets/2010/10/thumb_paparazzi_ars-thumb-300x169-16912-f.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="169" width="300" />

  &lt;/a&gt;

		        &lt;!--body--&gt;
    
&lt;p&gt;The user data collected by some iOS apps can be correlated to real-world identities, posing a privacy risk to iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users. According to research from Bucknell University, a majority of iOS apps transmit user data back to their own servers. But because some store more info than others&amp;#8212;and in some cases, in plaintext&amp;#8212;it can be easily pieced together to reveal more about individual users than they bargained for. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bucknell University Assistant Director of Information Security and Networking Eric Smith authored the paper, entitled "iPhone Applications &amp;amp; Privacy Issues: An Analysis of Application Transmission of iPhone Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs)." He and his team studied a total of 57 applications from the App Store&amp;#8212;a combination of the Top 25 Free apps as well as some from the News: Top Free app sections. Sixty-eight percent of those applications transmitted the device's UDID back to the app's servers, though "several instances" were encrypted via SSL. &lt;/p&gt;
