Info, news and pictures about PinkMap!

According to gawker. com, Apple is going to be a gay firm from now on.

According to the internet magazine gawker.com, the new man at the top of Apple is gay.

The fifty year old bachelor don’t tell much about his private life, but according to gawker, which asserted to have two serious sources, is the new Apple Chef Tim Cook gay.  According to the report, Cooks homosexuality is well known in Apples managment, but he is frightened to damage Apples image with a coming out. To many homo activists, this is a great step, not just for Apple, but for the gay and lesbian progres.

After Apple made some negative headlines the last week by not letting gay apps to the AppStore, they are going forward.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Apple made bad headlines by not letting gay iPhone apps to their AppStore (look here). Not Apple is getting bad publicity again.

This time not because they don’t let gay iPhone apps to the AppStore, but because of letting homophobic iPhone apps straight to it. The lately approved iPhone app based on the “Manhattan Declaration“, which was created by catholic and evangelic christs and which found over a half million supporter in the last  year.

It seems like Apple does have a small problem with gays at the AppStore.

In the last past month, it seems more and more that Apple has a small problem with gays at its AppStore. Now the developer of the App “Jack’d” reported, that they got a warning notice when they submitted their App to the AppStore.

According to this warning notice, it would be inadvisable to use the word “gay” in the despriction for the app and could lead to rejection from the AppStore. Untill now, it happens more than once that gay apps were removed from the appstore, in most cases the reasons for this were naked or pornographic pictures.

A new iPhone app, which was supposed to be funny, hadn’t that much fans.

A new iPhone app, called “Peekaboo Tranny“, angers the homosexual scene. The new app, which was supposed to be funny, transfers a tranny with a lollipop and in a absurd pose in the picture you just shot.

Now the “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation” (GLAAD) complained about the new iPhone app. Apple, which has its own, very hard line of censorship, admitted the deprecatingly app to the appstore without any comment.

After a apple employee forgot his iPhone 4 Testversion a month ago in a bar, the design of the new iPhone wasn’t a secret any more. Now Steve Jobs introduced the new iPhone officially.

In comparison with the iPhone 3G the new iPhone, just called iPhone 4, is much more squared, but with just 9,3 millimeters the worlds thinnest Smartphone ( according to Steve Jobs). At the side the new iPhone is furnished with metal and also the buttons are out of metal now.

But the propably biggest changings happend to the display. The display of the new iPhone 4 is a so called Retina- Display and has now 326 Pixel per Inch. Also the contrast ratio is 800:1, four times more than the iPhone 3GS contrast ratio.

Beside this the new iPhone comes with a new 5 Megapixel cam, a new light sensor and the possibility to record videos in HD. On the front of the new iPhone 4 there is another camera, which can be used for “iPhone 4 User to iPhone 4 User” videoconversation via wlan. We can’t wait for the release at the 24th of June.

As you might have heard, the new iPhone 4G was sighted.

Apple gave the new iPhone 4G to a employee in order to check the phone in daily grind. But, unfortunately for Apple, fortunately or us, the employee drunk too much and forgot the iPhone 4G in a german bar nearly 20 miles away from the Apple Headquarter. The finder called the Apple custom service and found out that they were not interested in his story.

So he sold the Phone to the Internetblog Gizmodo, which uploaded Pictures of the new iPhone and also had a look inside the new Apple Phone so we can now give you a short overview about the new features:

• The iPhone 4G has a camera on the front side
• a better camera on the backside than the iPhone 3GS has
• Flash for the camera
• better display than the iPhone 3GS
• extra mike at the side, maybe for noise suppression
• some big changes in design, like more chiseled and less rounded down

We can’t wait for June and the official release to see if its really the new iPhone 4G or just a marketing gag and we are excited what comes next.
