News: Apple conceptualises wearable devices, Apple seeds 10.7.3 build 11D36, Photo Booth, and more!

The New York Times is saying Apple has conceptualised what may eventuate as wearable devices. Spurred on (or, at least otherwise influenced) by the enormous success of what has become the iPod nano watch phenomenon, Apple might even be in the prototype stage of wearable devices that interact with other Apple hardware — perhaps an iPod nano that talks to the iPhone.

Apple has seeded yet another beta of Mac OS X 10.7.3 to developers. Build 11D36 has a build number that's just three builds above the previous seed, comes with no known issues, and the delta update from 10.7.2 weighs in at just under 1GB. Apple just squeezed one more beta just before Christmas.

Macworld talks about a concept I've never heard before: Photo Booth power users. I mean, it's Photo Booth — it's really not that complex, but how many of you knew that you could hold down Shift to prevent the blinding white flash that happens when you take a photo?

Over at Ars there's a nice article on why Apple's purchase of Anobit matters in the long run. $500 million isn't actually all that much for the Cupertino giant, but it's all about improving the current flash memory situation (read: dependence on other companies).
