Well, the rumor that is now flying around the internet is that Apple is set to announce that they’ve just scored the rights to the entire Beatles catalog and will be offering it up on iTunes.
The Wall Street Journal just announced this evening that Apple has been in talks with representatives of the Beatles and their record label, EMI Group Ltd to bring the entire catalog to iTunes. This is great news for folks wanting to load up their iPods or iPhones with some great material.
Only time will tell, will this be the big announcement that Apple is alluding to regarding iTunes? Or do they also have a few other things up their sleeves? Stay tuned….
For now…. let’s file this under R for rumor….and Ringo.

The Boxcar push notification app for iOS devices is receiving a major upgrade and should be available in the iTunes App Store any time now. I have personally had fiascos with various iOS apps with push notifications overriding each other and it all just ended up being a huge hassle. Version 4.0 of Boxcar should alleviate that. Check below for the latest:
They’re now launching version 4.0 of the app, and it’s by far the best yet. The entire app has been overhauled from the ground up. The result is a killer management system for Push Notifications. Apple needs to buy this company.
While previous versions of the app gave you a time-ordered stream of your notifications, it was somewhat daunting to look at. And you couldn’t do much from in the app itself. The new design makes everything much easier to manage and more visually appealing. For example, notifications from Twitter now show up complete with the user’s profile picture. And you can retweet or reply to any of those message right from within Boxcar.
The app itself has taken a design cue from the excellent Facebook iPhone app and features a home screen with nice looking big buttons for each service you have activated. There is also now Retina Display support if you have the iPhone 4. All of this works on the iPod touch and iPad as well.
And 4.0 brings Support for a host of new services. Google Buzz, Google Voice, Github, App Recommendations, and a few others are all now included and can be installed with a few easy steps. These App Recommendations are done by Boxcar themselves.
Boxcar is now a team of 5 people based in New York City. To date, they’ve delivered over 500 million notifications to iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads.
Boxcar is a free download in the App Store (though it’s $4.99 if you wish to disable in-app advertising). You can find it here. Version 4.0 should be live shortly.

I’m heading to the App Store to grab it as soon as it comes down the pipe. Looking forward to seeing the improvements and seeing if it delivers the goods on my iPod Touch 4th Generation. Give us a shout in the comments if you’re going to get your Boxcar on.

If you are in an area that recognizes Daylight Savings this weekend, and you’re an iPhone or iPod Touch user, you just may have an issue with your alarm clock going off at the wrong time Monday morning!
WHAT?! How can this be? There is a bug in the software that does not recognize the time change and your alarm will not go off at the correct time. You will end up being late for work, school, appointments, etc.
Want to avoid this? Let’s break it down on how you can easily fix this before Monday morning:
If you’re in the United States and want to create an iPhone alarm that will work Monday, follow these steps:
1. Open the Clock application.
2. Click on the Alarm icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click the “plus sign” icon in the top right corner.
4. Create an alarm and make sure you have the “repeat” option set to “never.” (The glitch only occurs with repeat alarms, such as those workers set to wake them up at the same time each weekday).
5. Select the appropriate time and sound, and click “save.”
6. After November 7, you can again create repeat alarms without trouble, but you should delete any recurring alarms that you set before that date, Harrison said.
Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison suggests that users should set NON-recurring alarms for now. After November 7th, the problem should be null and void and you can return to setting recurring alarms.
Word on the street is that a fix is coming for this, to avoid this issue in the future, but no word yet on when that will be.

Looks like Google has updated their mobile interface to include app searches for both iPhone and Android. Pretty nifty, eh? This will be great in allowing users to take a detour around the somewhat slow searching times encountered in the App Store and Android Market.
Give it a go and let us know how you like it. Have a great Wednesday from everyone here at The Sauce Report.
