It is time for your weekly dose of the next generation iPhone rumors. This edition is a doozy, friends. Alleged iPhone leak components everywhere with each site, claiming that they are the real deal. It's hard to tell what components were lifted straight from Foxconn lines, but when they'll be seen as a whole, these components an interesting picture, it's Apple's dramatic change of course and completely disrupt the cell phone market.

It is reported that Apple is about to announce the next iPhone (or iPhones), either in September or October. There are currently two competing rumours circulating that Apple is working on low cost iPhone probably code-named iPhone4S N94 and higher-end iPhone 5 called internally as N97.

Just last week a slew of iPhone parts hit the web. Most are of similar design to the current iPhone 4 with a physical home button and similar overall dimensions. Macpost and Engadget both posted the same set of photos "leaked" this morning, showing that most assume is the cheapest iPhone 4S. Parts marked N95 with EVT1 (engineering) ' 03-March 2011 '.

Several other diversion, including the early parts of further support ubreakifix.com claim, at least one of the upcoming iPhone model is very similar to the current iPhone 4. Reuters contributed to this claim last week when she said that the Apple 8 GB iPhone soon will release 4. Moreover, even this case, claimed that for iPhone 4S is similar to that used in the iPhone 4 slightly adjust the antenna and the lack of space for the home button.

So far, including talk about cloud iPhone seems to suggest that Apple is targeting low-end market with the next iPhone. But it just doesn't feel. Apple has stuck to a hard refresh cycle of two years, which stated that major changes had to be in June last year. This never happened.

Then just this morning, industry control DigiTimes, citing higher vendor group and contrary to previous rumors reported iPhone 5 will have fewer than 4 inch LCD and equipped with metal back panel, rather than strengthened glass is used in the iPhone 4 and 4S leaked iPhone parts. This source claims that the internal components, including single A4 chip is likely to remain in the game for the iPhone model. It is not unheard of Apple will be of similar products aimed at different market segments and are only cosmetic differences. This, however, is without precedent that Apple releases two iPhone models at the same time. IPhone 4S and iPhone 5 if they are both real, kills Apple's legendary keep it simple, silly mantra, but officially signals war on low-end BlackBerrys and Android devices.

Of course, it's all just silly speculation to Tim Cook, Jonathan Ive or someone who takes the stage and officially announced the next iPhone, or rather, iPhones. These leakage hitting an absurd pace, though. Apple may soon have to deal with the iPhone 4 fiasco all over again.

Killer startups? BlackBox releases report/application to help avoid Deadpool founders

RIP Empson-writer at TechCrunch. He did not find friends here, he is here to win and you don't forget it. You can contact him at rip [at] techcrunch [dot] com ? more

It's not just green — or entrepreneur. The inherent risk of becoming an entrepreneur or startup founders is high. Sleepless nights, sweat equity, bribing new users come to your product — it's all part of the nerves, spinning and teeth grinding process. That's why these thugs mainly pirates in nature. But it's true that question several startups to ever make it far enough to find a buried treasure or piggyback on Facebook before fame; in fact, cold, hard reality is that more than 90 per cent of all startups fail.

This is why four young international entrepreneurs (Ziba Herrmann, Max Marmer, Fadi Bishara, Alexander Markov) created a so-called report launch genome because they wanted a deep dive into what makes a successful launch — and that causes so many to drink from a cup of FAIL.

67-page report, created in collaboration with scientists from Stanford and Berkeley, collects data from 3200 startups to date in order to work towards the creation of foundations for a new foundation for a more effective assessment of startups — by measuring thresholds and main stages of development, navigate through the early stages of a Web company. (Read our initial coverage of the launch of the genome report here.)

The report, which has a comprehensive and scientific approach to the analysis of trends launch was a success; has been downloaded 15000 times and in more than 150 publications in 20 different languages. But perhaps more importantly, the report (and subsequent data, add new companies and entrepreneurs) has already begun to show some interesting results — this can actually benefit those very people analyze. Namely, co-founder of Ziba Lasse Herrmann tells me the number one cause of the startup failure: premature scaling.

Herrmann said that group study found that 90 per cent of the startups that are 70 percent scaled prematurely, which sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic impact on the success (or lack thereof) of their business. Self-destructing and not competition is the bane of most startups, it seems.

Thus the team behind the report, which also created the business Accelerator, called Blackbox (designed for the use of data collected from their R&D projects), wants to move beyond static reports and a tool for startups that will help them to deal with this widespread problem of premature scaling.

Today team Blackbox produces start compass, a tool built to be a recipe for premature scaling by comparing the progress of the company "5 main interdependent aspects", according to Herman: customers, products, teams, business model and finance. Compass provides entrepreneurs with the dashboard for monitoring progress on these parameters, helping them better priorities on a monthly basis, as well as help them find any inconsistencies in these measurements.

According to Herrmann many startups have problems whose solution priorities follow, not to mention measuring their effectiveness once they do, "almost always land in the proverbial grey zone". He gave these issues as classic examples of start of uncertainty: "good 5 per cent, increase retention? I have enough users to announce product market fit? Currently, step on the gas pedal and scale? "

Compass, then, is a simple benchmarking tool to reduce this grey zone by evaluating the startup type and stage of development and then compare the data of other startups of the same type and the stage — on 25 core indicators, to help them better understand their current location (and the efficiency of their direction).

For those who wish to check the Compass beta you can find it here. BlackBox is looking for feedback from entrepreneurs and founders, too, as she wants tools that actually benefit those who are there in the wild and woolly world accent — not only to researchers. This joint project, Herman said, and one that can have real consequences more data it collects.

Greplin releases must have iPhone App for staff to organize your life and avoid the rabid Google

It was only a year ago that I first wrote about Greplin, "the other half of searches for your online life. This is an incredibly useful search engine that indexes your Internet email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, calendar, Dropbox and other stuff (22 services currently supported). Greplin is a single search box on all this, and it's fast.

So far, though, you had to use HTML5 website for mobile use, there is no selected application. If you are a iPhone user, this is now changed. Android and other users will have to wait a little longer.

Why the need for dedicated application? 20 yr old CEO Daniel gross says that they need in their application to add the most requested features. Aim is to reduce typing foresee that you need – if you open the application towards meeting Greplin you can use your location and the date and time to make an intelligent guess you want to address or phone number related to this meeting and then give it to you.

Intellectual accumen Greplin iPhone app is impressive. When Gross was OK in my Office yesterday, "Arrington" was top to search. App knew he was following a meeting with me for his calendar and e-mail messages and knew that are unlikely to search for me. After clicking on my name was further refinements to find phone number or my place, etc.

You could do all that in an email or calendar, in one way or another, but Greplin makes it a lot easier. Instead of opening the e-mail on my phone and looking for the name of the person I'm meeting and then scrolling through an email or two find a phone number or address (and probably getting punished, rabid Googler to type while driving) Greplin just seems to know what I want and put front and Center-per-click advertising. It then outlines the relevant information from the letter a.

It is these two functions – proposed searches and illumination – that make application is so easy to use. It's rare that a new application can receive the coveted "must have" spot on my phone, but Greplin is clear. Once he is on Android, i.e.

Gross original idea for the Greplin derives from the idea that "people with more and more information thrown at them and we are here to make this manageable." Greplin already does this. Greplin in the iPhone app makes it even better. And if he saves the life of even one crazy Googler, which passes in front of your car, it's worth it.

Greplin was slightly less than 5 million dollars from investors, Sequoia Capital, SK Telecom Ventures and Angel.

Greplin, launched in September 2010, is the personal Web search engine which indexes data stored in online services.

It's that time again! Right on schedule (the "schedule" means "approximately 2 weeks since the last"), Apple has just released the sixth beta build iOS 5 for developers.

You know what that means: developers get to upgrade (remember: OTA update work now!) Non developer to developer pretends to be (just don't be a jerk and go to applications). And all the rest? Will be happy to know that iOS 5 is one big ol' step closer to gold current and hitting your phone.

Now with regard to what's new in this build ...

Although most just crackin' in beta 6 right this second, we are not hearing a lot of new stuff here — it's basically an itty bitty slick Polish and bug fixes at the moment. Which, of course, it makes sense: Apple supposedly was in the beta phase here, so that less about adding new material and more about how to make sure everything is working as expected.

In view of the above, we will update you if we hear anything new and noteworthy lurking around in this version.

Twitter has just released a new Bootstrap, Toolkit for building Web applications using CSS. It includes the base CSS styles for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grid, navigation, alerts, and more. Here you will find the loader on GitHub.

Twitter says that the loader began as a way to ensure a coherent framework for the front of the individual applications. The toolkit was originally developed in the course of the first Hackweek Twitter, and Twitter is working on tools release for developers.

Advantages of the loader is that it is built with smaller (read about less than here), who says Twitter is the more flexible the preprocessor, which offers much more power and flexibility than regular CSS. With less developers can access features such as nested declarations, variables, impurities and color functions. It also makes the boot easy to implement (drop it into the code and go, says Twitter) and very simple.

The company says that external tookit Boostrap became popular when developing new applications and sites of its flexibility. By post: the loader is a very simple way to promote rapid, clean and very useful application.

Twitter tries to attract developers more closely later, recently launched a new Developer Portal. In fact, there are currently more than one million registered third-party applications, built more than 750 000 developers around the world. And a new application is logged every 1.5 seconds.
