Apple Releases iOS 6 Beta 2 to Developers

Steve Jobs would have never allowed for the smart case to be designed and produced. Especially after he slagged off the iPad 1 case at the iPad 2 launch.
Actually he was (and anyone else could too). He found a loophole where he wasn't breaking the law. So yeah he kind of was entitled to do that.
-----
Steve (or someone close to him) spotted a loophole in the California vehicle laws. Anyone with a brand new car had a maximum of six months to affix the issued number plate to the vehicle.
So Jobs made an arrangement with the leasing company; he would always change cars during the sixth month of the lease, exchanging one silver Mercedes SL55 AMG for another identical one. At no time would he ever be in a car as old as six months; and thus there was no legal requirement to have the number plates fitted.

Didn't know that; nice little trick. I'm sure countless other examples could be given of him breaking rules, laws, and norms though.
One of the bigger changes in the new beta is the inclusion of a toggle to control whether or not you can use iOS 6′s new Shared Photo Streams feature. The toggle is in both the Photos settings page and the iCloud settings.
Apple also jumped on board with the new Twitter icon systemwide, showing us what the new Twitter for iPhone icon will look like even before Twitter released the update.
Speaking of Twitter, iPhone 4S users will find that the TweetSheet inside the Siri UI has been slightly redesigned, although the change has not yet made its way to the rest of the TweetSheets in this update.
Finally, one little change was made to the Cellular settings page, which now has a toggle for syncing Reading List over 3G below the iCloud Documents and iTunes switches. Previously the only place to change the Reading List option was in the Safari settings.
And for those of you who are curious, @iH8sn0w has discovered that beta 2 expires on July 31st (which is the same day Apple shuts down iWork.com).

I have never seen that before either. It is not on the iPad though. doesn't work for me on my iPhone, how did you get it to appear ?

Haven't noticed anything new, except that everything feels way more responsive on my iPhone 4. Before it would be like every app needed like a second to register touch. Now it's almost back to instant (like it was in iOS5)
also "preparing" takes almost forever, but hang in there!

no i'm saying it doesn't open it. it tells me the stocks quote for a company named Launch
Yeah totally agree, just pointing that one out. Such a slick trick I'm surprised more famous/rich people in LA don't do it.

Yes it was
Default Search Engine
Wow, in an amazingly surprising move, Apple has changed the default search engine from Google to Yahoo in iOS 6 Beta 2.
I haven't heard from any others, but on at least my iPhone 4S, I searched with Google an hour ago, and when I updated to Beta 2, the default search engine was Yahoo.

it makes you sound dated to be honest
widgets are great if used right. its nice to simply look at the screen and see fb updates or be it just the weather without having to unlock and go to the dedicated app first
hell, freakin live icons would be a start (see ticking clock & live weather icon as a jb tweak)
thats because Apple removed the bug that meant you could open a 2X iPhone stocks app on the iPad, which was present in beta 1 but is no longer present in beta 2.
Not for me bro - iPhone 4 Dev phone and New iPad
Edit - oh are you trying to drive people to your video just to see your app?
