Happy New Year! What an end to the year 2011. Any New Year's Resolution Yet? Retina Display resolution of 2048 x 1536, maybe?

Here's a nice little light show to end 2011 with.

According to DigiTimes, Apple manufacturing partners have already begun delivering parts and components for the third-generation iPad to OEM contractors. The production of the 'iPad 3' could reach 9.5-9.8 million units next quarter, expected to arrive within 3 to 4 months.

The next-gen 'iPad 3' is widely believed to include a display with Retina Display-like quality. It was reported in Wall Street Journal that Apple has invested in a Sharp factory for production of LCD panels that is rumored to utilize IGZO (indium, gallium, zinc) technology to help provide a thinner design while improving battery life for the next iPad.

Hope you have a wonderful X'Mas and a Happy New Year! Here's a cute little ad from Apple:

Scattered reports have emerged that stolen iPhones continue to receive iMessages intended for their original owners even after changing numbers, resetting Apple ID passwords and remote wiping the handsets.

"Some unlucky iPhone owners are beginning to discover that, despite their best efforts to remove all information from their stolen phones, thieves and unsuspecting buyers are still able to send and receive iMessages as the original owner—even after the device is registered under a new account. Almost nothing seems to work—remote wiping, changing Apple ID passwords, or even moving the old phone number to a new phone—and users are becoming more than frustrated that thieves are so easily able to pose as them."

The issue does not seem to be an isolated incident. Some users suggested that wiping an iPhone when the original SIM card is still in the device won't result in a clean reset, thereby allowing the iMessage feature to reactivate when the phone is restored.

Apple has yet to make a response.
