The Right Way To Jailbreak Your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Or iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) Touch - Apple IOS ... - Sportz News

SlashGear and other Apple watchers warned that Apple looks to be making life more difficult in general for those who want to jailbreak, or mess around with the insides of their iPhones and other mobile Apple devices: "[T]he road ahead for iOS jailbreakers looks to be trickier than ever. iOS 4.3.4 reportedly also closed off [two] other loopholes hackers had been using for untethered solutions – an integer overflow-related bug and an incomplete code signing issue. Meanwhile, iOS 5 will reportedly block firmware downgrades'using a new signing system." Apple Closes Loophole The message from the iPhone Dev Team is that most users should stay on iOS 4.3.3 and not update at all; there's no new functionality to be had, only the security fix (which can be achieved with a third-party app called PDF...

30 best iPad games - CNET (blog)

Sid Meier’s Pirates! makes a swashbuckling debut on iPad. (Credit: Screenshot by Scott Stein/CNET) Editors’ note: Updated on July 30 with four new games. Wondering what games to buy for your new iPad? Well, this early in the product’s life, it’s actually pretty hard to sort the really good stuff from the just-decent stuff, particularly with the prices for many games being so much higher than their iPhone counterparts. But we took a shot at putting together a list of top titles that we feel meet the criteria for a good iPad game. And just what does make a good iPad game? We debated it for a while and narrowed it down to these five factors: It’s gotta be fun (obviously). Ergonomics (are the gameplay and control scheme well-suited to the iPad?) Uniqueness (though many iPad games play well...

Apple Laptop Batteries Can Be Hacked, Infected With Malware - SecurityNewsDaily

Jul 25, 2011 | 12:15 PM ET | By Paul Wagenseil, SecurityNewsDaily Managing Editor Apple laptop batteries can be hacked to infect the laptop with malware, or possibly even rigged to explode, a well-known security researcher has found. All modern laptop batteries have logic chips inside them that communicate with the computer they’re powering. That’s how you’re able to see how much charge is remaining. The chips also carry out regulatory tasks, such as shutting down the charging process when a battery’s at risk of overcharging. But any logic chip has operating software — “firmware” — and that software can usually be remotely updated. Charlie Miller, who’s famous for winning the annual Pwn2Own contest four times with his Mac OS X and iOS exploits, discovered that Apple puts the same password...

Next low cost iPhone? - 9 to 5 Mac

MacRumors is reporting a plastic white iPhone found on Tinhte.vn may be the next value iPhone. We only have 3 issues with these pictures: 1. It is running Cydia which is unlikely to be an easy install on a new prototype iPhone with a new cellular chip, internal hardware and firmware.  It is doubtful Apple is testing Cydia and it isn't a cakewalk to jailbreak an entirely new device.2. Probably most damning, it has the tell-tale old white speaker grill at the top which was phased out as the white iPhone was improved over the past year and a half. It looks like the poster may have tried to blur it as well. It is doubtful that Apple would go back to this flawed design.3. Plastic? Some other information that you want to transfer to you is that this machine seems to run faster than the...

Security Problems Solved With Apple's iOS 4.3.5 Release, Why You'll Want To ... - Sportz News

If you're looking to read books and magazines on the go, the iPad — or for that matter most any tablet — will do a better job than even the handsets with the largest screens.

Apple released yesterday its latest iOS 5 beta version and it looks like the new firmware is ready to reveal some interesting facts about the future iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) touch. Also yesterday we've seen the first leaked parts of the next-gen iconic Apple MP3 player which suggest that Apple will have a white iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) touch 5G in stores at some point later this year. Whether the leak can be confirmed or not, we're more interested in iOS 5 beta 4 at this point, as this iOS version tells us the next-gen multimedia player will come with support for 3G data, as rumored before. If you ask me, adding 3G data support to the iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) touch 5G is a logical next step. After all Apple's iPad and iPad 2 are both capable...
