Verizon Blocks Employee Vacations Between September 18th-22nd, Perhaps for iPhone Launch?

Verizon is reportedly blocking employee vacations between September 18th-22nd, reports 9to5Mac. Those dates coincide with the rumored September 20th release date for the iPhone 5S.

verizonwireless

As Apple’s September 10th iPhone unveiling approaches, we’ve heard that Verizon Wireless is blocking its retail employees from requesting vacations between Wednesday, September 18th and Sunday, September 22nd. Based on Apple historically shipping new versions of the iPhone about a week and half following the unveiling, it would make sense for the new iPhones to arrive for customers on Friday, September 20th.

Bug in CoreText allows a string of characters to crash apps

serious bug has been uncovered in Apple's CoreText layout engine, which is responsible for laying out text in applications which make use of the Cocoa framework on OS X and iOS systems. The bug causes any app relying on CoreText to crash when a specific string of Arabic characters is displayed, meaning just the simple act of viewing a tweet or receiving an instant message is enough to trigger the crash. With apps like messaging or email clients, the problem is more severe, as the app may continue to crash repeatedly if it attempts to display previous message history or previews of email content.
