Since being released in a blaze of glory along with iOS 5 back in October of last year, Siri has been a mainstay in the tech headlines. Unfortunately for the majority, Apple’s system-wide voice recognition software was only officially supported on the brand-new iPhone 4S – leaving some iPad, iPod touch and owners of older iPhones feeling a little underhanded.
Another day, and yet another Siri-based tweak emerges from the Cydia Store. Today's, which takes into account the equally-new Notification Center, allows you to launch the voice-activated technology with a simple downward swipe of the status bar.
Aside from being a great music player, iTunes is an integral part of an iPhone, iPad and iPod user's digital life. This is all well and good if you're on iOS of course, allowing the most harmonious of synchronization; and as of iOS 5 - wirelessly so - providing your iDevice is Wi-Fi compatible.

Somehow, iOS commentator BlogdoiPhone has supposedly gotten wind of a "pre-GM" leak of the upcoming iteration of iOS, which is iOS 5.1. GM, initialism of Golden Master, usually refers to the final version so, if true, the information and images below would appear to paint the full picture as to what Apple has in the pipeline.

If there's anything that truly antagonizes consumers, it's breaches of privacy, resulting in data being accessed without due consent. In iOS, if a third-party app requires permission to access your location data with the intention of enhancing user experience, you're met with a popup window, and have the option to allow access, or simply block the app from knowing of your whereabouts.
In terms of Windows and Mac applications, there are those we like to have, those we cannot live without, and then the bare basics - those paramount to day-to-day performance.
