apple's mountain lion back to you in the studio brian and q just stop with the ketchups they aren't funny why do you have to be so catty like that Jason me ouch now want to mount lions new additions Game Center promises to bring cross game played between the mac and iOS devices and the game library will eventually ramp up but for now is pretty slim pickings right now with seven games now there have been reports that some users mountain lion up-to-date program redemption codes we're not working through the App Store and we'll follow up to see how widespread of an issue that is but before we move on I thought this would be a perfect moment to celebrate this new launch with a tribute to mountain lion cubs who are so cute and like cuddly and soft I mean look at them you just take your eyes off oh all right back to the news stories Apple disappointed Wall Street for the first time in a long time for their fiscal third-quarter earnings with profits of 8.8 billion dollars on sales of 35 billion dollars now those sound like big numbers and they are but apple fell short of Wall Street's expectations with weakening iphone sales from Europe and China and a slowdown of sales with all the speculation of a new iPhone model coming soon now who could be telling people not to buy an iphone right now on the flip side apple sold a record 17 million iPads in the quarter with apple's tablet capturing sixty-eight percent of the market according to strategy analytics CEO Tim Cook also decided to give fanboys aggie chasm during the earnings call when he said we are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we've got in the pipeline oh alright well one of those new products people are anticipating is an Apple TV set I still say it's not coming in 2012 but a series of wild and crazy patents were recently granted to Apple for advancing the TV experience to not 3d but get this 5d that's right mine now some date back to nineteen ninety nine but they include interactive gaming teleconferencing tactile feedback technology while watching TV and virtual reality data gloves which I hope we never see so envision this it's like a kinect like interactivity with videoconferencing that you can recognize your handprint as user while watching TV with a Nintendo Power glove that's 5d technology or just going to a rave all right guys on to the rumors and they have been hot with Macotakara reporting that the next ipod touch will use the same in cell technology that's expected in the next iphone but the ipod touch will also move to the foreigners display with the same longer dimensions and we'll have a buffed aluminum rear shell instead of a glass back or the mirrored stainless steel on the current ipod touch now the report also mentions a hole on the lower part of the rear side of the ipod touch and I'm not going to guess what that feature could possibly be used for all right KGI Securities analyst ming-chi kuo went on fire this past week with several Apple related product rumors saying he believes the 13 inch Retina Display MacBook Pros will be coming in the september-october time frame he's also sticking with his prediction for iphone 5 to launch in September along with new updates for the ipod touch and new ipod nano which is what Apple has been doing with the ipod product line over the past several years so there's no surprises there and he also claims the ipad mini will debut after the iphone later in that same month of September all right guys on to the quick bites and reuters has confirmed that Apple will indeed be shrinking their dock connector it's a rumor we've talked about earlier in the show they say the move was partially made to make space for the headset connector to be placed on the bottom I really hope it wasn't just to make space for the headphone port now I've said earlier I'm all for this if there's added functionality and a sleeker slimmer device but this is really a business market move with all the new accessory makers getting a new stream of revenue from apples ecosystem thanks to a new connector now there's plenty of you who are already mad about this I know this but is it really going to stop you from getting the next iPhone I want to hear what you the Apple biters have to say and I promise I will read a few of your responses that's just sent to the apple byte at cnet com or my Twitter at brian Tong on next week's show and then one more thing that you guys should probably know about the apple podcast app that's sorry excuse for a podcast app that's just horrible it's a bad apple with only two and a half star ratings yeah well all things D reports Apple is playing a release an update by the time you watch a show to vastly improve the app it needs help alright guys that's going to do it for this week's show I'm Brian Tom thanks for watching send me your thoughts your wishes hopes and dreams and we'll see you guys next week for another bite of the Apple you
