Thursday Recap: OS X 10.8.1, Facebook for iOS 5.0, New Microsoft Logo

Mac and iOS users alike were blessed with updates today, with Apple pushing out the first update to OS X Mountain Lion, while Facebook finally made good on promises of a faster, higher performance mobile app at last. Meanwhile, Amazon is ready to make a big announcement on September 6 and hey, Microsoft has a new look! Read on to find out what's new for this Thursday, August 23, 2012.

Apple Releases OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1

Right on the heels of this morning's report about OS X 10.8.2 being seeded to select users, Apple has officially pushed OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1 out the door, which is now available as a 24.2MB download from the Mac App Store. The release notes specifically cite resolutions for eight different issues ranging from Migration Assistant failure to Microsoft Exchange connection in Mail.app, audio playing through a Thunderbolt display and an issue with iMessages not being sent. There have also been early reports that the update improves battery life on 2012 MacBook models, so even if your specific issue isn't listed, it might be worth installing the update just to see if it fixes what ails you.

Facebook for iOS Finally Speeds Up, Now Bundles Messenger

Facebook is aiming to win back iOS users with an extensive version 5.0 update today. Claiming the app the has been rebuilt from the ground up to be "faster and easier to use," the universal Facebook 5.0 also brings improvements to scrolling through the news feed, a new banner for quickly seeing more stories without a refresh, faster opening of photos and instant access to notifications. The update also finally brings Timeline view to the iPad, although Facebook's release notes don't expressly note this rather big change. At any rate, the performance improvements alone make this a worthwhile update, so head to the App Store and grab it now. Or, you know, when you're done reading the recap...

Microsoft Gets a New Logo After 25 Years

The Official Microsoft Blog has announced a big change up in Redmond, but this time it's for the company itself rather than one of its flagship products. "In advance of one of the most significant waves of product launches in Microsoft’s history, today we are unveiling a new logo for the company," writes Microsoft's Jeffrey Meisner, who notes it's been 25 years since the last time the Windows maker tinkered with its logo. We'd have to agree that it's a good time for a refresh, considering virtually all of the company's products have received (or are about to receive) a facelift this year. So what do you think, Mac fans? Do you like the new look?

OnLive Faced "Imminent Shutdown" Prior to Financial Bailout

MercuryNews.com is reporting that the very public meltdown of OnLive nearly a week ago was apparently only the tip of the iceberg. According to Insolvency Service Group CEO Joel Weinberg, OnLive was facing "a complete shutdown of its services," with between $30 and $40 million owed to various creditors. "It was a company that was in dire straits," Weinberg explains. "It only had days to live in terms of cash flow and the like. Something had to be done immediately or there would have been a hard shutdown, which would have been a disaster." ISG is the assignee for OnLive's assignment for the benefit of creditors, which is a California alternative to bankruptcy.

Amazon Holding Press Conference September 6

Details are scarce, but AllThingsD is reporting that e-tailer Amazon.com has sent out invitations to the media for a September 6 press conference to be held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

Facebook Rolling Out Save for Later Feature to Mobile, Desktop

While it's not exactly a direct rival for the likes of Instapaper or Pocket, social networking giant Facebook is rolling out a new feature that allows both mobile and desktop users to save stories for later reading.

The Verge is reporting that Facebook has begun rolling out the ability to save wall posts and other stories for later consumption, a step toward the features popularized by "read later" services such as Instapaper, Pocket and Readability.

"New! Press and hold anywhere on a story to save it for later," a pop-up in the iOS app reads once a user's account has added the feature. "Click Saved in your Favorites when you're ready to view it."

Thankfully, Facebook makes it clear that saved stories are private, so you won't have to worry about saving something embarrassing and having it shared with everyone on your friends list. Also, saved stories appear across all devices, be they mobile or desktop.

Speaking of desktop, the feature is also making its way to full-fledged computers, where it will appear as a small "Save" link right alongside other options such as Like, Comment and Share.

We're not seeing the feature appearing yet on our end, but it should be rolling out to everyone over the next few days.

I started a little over 4 months ago and I just wanted to say everything works. You all are a great example of how a service should work in that it simply works and I never need contact you. I know that seems like "so what?" but for the excellent pricing that SherWeb offers I must say I was a little hesitant to use you at first. Since I use a Windows Mobile 6 phone it was important to me to have an Exchange 2007 server so that the awesome new and additional features would be available to me on my phone. Thanks for being so good that I never need to call yet I know you are only phone call away if needed." Tim Tucholka"I just signed up with your Exchange and BlackBerry service, and WOW am I impressed! It took me less than 20 minutes to sign up, set my mx records, sign in and activate my BlackBerry sync. You guys really have a slick system setup here! Thanks!!"

Thursday Recap: Facebook Camera, T-Mobile USA, PayPal Nets 12 Retailers

Laugh if you want, but we love Jamba Juice. We also happen to rather like PayPal, which makes it easy to spend the money we make selling our old junk on eBay that would be otherwise cluttering the house. So it would seem that being able to buy our Peach Pleasure or Strawberries Forever smoothies at Jamba Juice with our PayPal account would be a match made in heaven -- assuming there was one near us, which there is sadly not. But for those who do, enjoy! We hate you. (Just kidding!) Here’s what else is happening for this Thursday, May 24, 2012.

Facebook Camera Now Available, So Why’d They Buy Instagram?

The big news of the day comes from Facebook, who has released a dedicated Facebook Camera app for the iPhone. And in record time, the app has been released and already received a 1.0.1 update -- so if you’ve already installed it, you might want to head back to the App Store to get current. So how is this different from Instagram, which the social network recently acquired? Facebook Camera promises that users can share photos on their network

AOL Sells Patents to Microsoft and Facebook buys Instagram -a Look at Value

, that Facebook has had the wind in its face (pardon the pun) rather than at its back. Given the accelerating rate at which the “next big thing” pops up on the Internet (Pinterest and Instagram being prime examples), it is hard to imagine that changed circumstances won’t lead to similar moves.  Zuckerberg and his team are learning that with dominance comes envy, scrutiny and a lot more entities looking to knock you off your perch. They are used to an environment former New York Mayor Ed Koch used to describe as, “I don’t get ulcers, I give them!”

With everyone in the tech space seemingly in court with everyone else over intellectual property issues, hidden or not, there can be no question that IP is valuable. Just how much, to whom, for what reasons and at what time as the saying goes, “Is why they play the games.” 

This leads to a final thought about value. As those who follow my musings on things related to the IP wars know, the 800 pound gorilla in all of this tends to be haggling over what constitutes FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Nondiscriminatory) use of the IP of someone else. This is what regulation and litigation are mostly about setting aside emotion. It leads to a final question, who does one put a value on the moving target that is litigation? 

Thanks, Rich, for getting the ball rolling.
