Jonathan IveApple's golden boy designer Jonathan Ive won't be leaving the company for his native Britain, according to a recent profile in the U.
K.'s Daily MailIve has been with Apple for nearly two decades. He's behind the signature Apple designs as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and most recently, the iPad 2.
"Ive has helped turn Apple Inc from an also-ran popular chiefly with designers into the second biggest company in the world, with a higher turnover than Google or Microsoft. He will receive [$24 million] in Apple shares alone next year," the Daily Mail said.
The designer has reportedly been married to Apple for the past three years through a $30 million "golden handcuffs" deal that just expired. Ive reportedly expressed a desire to spend more time in the U.K. and proposed a plan that would allow him to "commute" back and forth between Cupertino and his manor in Somerset. Apple's board allegedly shot down that request, leaving Ive at an impasse, but that is not the case, the Daily Mail said.
Ive has no plans to depart from Apple, the paper reported. The story also debunked rumors that Ive is being groomed to take over for Apple chief Steve Jobs, who is currently on medical leave.

Apple criticized for approving 'gay cure' app | Apple - CNET News

(Credit: Change.org)

Apple is facing criticism from a gay rights group after the company approved an iPhone app from a religious ministry that encourages people to "cure" themselves of homosexuality.

Advocating "freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus," Exodus International launched its app last month to spread the word about its cause. The app connects users to the ministry's Web site and offers links to its latest news and blog posts.

But Exodus' message and its app have triggered complaints from Truth Wins Out, a nonprofit group whose stated goal is to fight anti-gay religious extremism. Launching a petition on Change.org to persuade Apple to remove the app, TWO says this type of so-called "reparative therapy" to change one's sexual orientation has been rejected by all the major medical associations.

Calling Exodus' message "hateful and bigoted," TWO claims the ministry uses scare tactics and misinformation to recruit people. Of particular concern, says TWO, is the way Exodus has been targeting young people in the wake of several recent suicides by LGBT teenagers.

In its petition, which as of now has already received more than 99,000 signatures, TWO is calling on Apple CEO Steve Jobs and other key executives to remove the app based on the company's own guidelines, which say that "any app that is defamatory, offensive, mean-spirited, or likely to place the targeted individual or group in harms way will be rejected."

Apple has not responded to a request for comment.

The app itself has received more than 600 one-star reviews in the App Store, with a large number of people condemning its message.

"Apple doesn't allow racist or anti-Semitic apps in its app store, yet it is giving the green light to an app targeting vulnerable LGBT youth with the message that their sexual orientation is a 'sin that will make your heart sick' and a 'counterfeit,'" said TWO in its petition. "This is a double standard that has the potential for devastating consequences."

Apple faced a similar conflict late last year over an app from the Manhattan Declaration, a group whose members speak out against such issues as gay marriage. Following a petition against this app on Change.org, Apple eventually removed it from the App Store explaining that it "violates our developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people."

Report: No Apple Store in Grand Central | News & Opinion | PCMag.com


Grand Central Terminal

New York commuters hoping for an Apple Store steps from their evening train will have to wait. Plans for an Apple Store in Manhattan's Grand Central terminal are reportedly off, according to the New York Observer.

"A source close to the M.T.A. has confirmed that the company has backed out of plans" for the Grand Central store, the paper wrote.

Reports of Apple coming to the station first emerged in February. The new location was reportedly intended to take some of the stress off the hectic Apple store on Fifth Avenue, which is open 24 hours a day and sells more than the three other shops in the city combined.

The Grand Central location would have been 16,000 square feet, and located on the balconies of its main terminal, but likely would have faced a long approval process since it would be located in a city landmark, AppleInsider said

Jeffrey Roseman, executive vice president of Newmark Knight Frank Retail, tweeted about the demise of the deal on Thursday. "Lets see if Apple NOT coming to Grand Central, gets as much press as it got, when the rumor started," he wrote.

Originally opened in 1871, Grand Central Terminal is the world's largest train station with 44 platforms on two underground levels. It sees 700,000 visitors each day, including droves of commuters and tourists. It was last renovated 11 years ago, and it's home to 68 stores and 34 restaurants in 134,000 square feet of space. Tenants are encouraged to sign 10-year leases.
