The developers over at LinkedIn Corporation have finally got their iPad appreciation hats on and pushed out an update to the professional network app, bringing full universal support along with a Retina-enabled user interface for Apple's third-generation iPad. The LinkedIn app had previously only been available as a native iPhone or iPod touch app, but version 5.0 should appease those business professionals who have been craving for a little bit more.
Every individual who owns a smartphone or a tablet device have their own reasons for doing so, and will more often than not utilize a certain set of features on a more regular basis than others. From a personal point of view, and surely something that is echoed by many more people, I happen to extensively use my iPhone for web browsing more often than not using Apple's Mobile Safari.
Did you know that Bluetooth is the Anglicized version of the name given to Kind Harald I of Denmark who was well-known for uniting various tribes in Denmark into one single Kingdom? Not exactly relevant to the iBluetooth Call tweak, but still it's worth knowing that our technology names are steeped in history.
It's been a while since we saw a well thought out and extremely useful tweak land in Cydia that brought some additional functionality to the Siri intelligent assistant. After seeing an influx of tweaks becoming available that aimed to enhance Siri, the last four weeks or so have been pretty quiet, that is until now with the release of the Error-O-Pedia tweak by Krishna Sagar.
With the introduction of iOS 4.0, Apple brought the current native multitasking system to us that allows users to quickly switch back and forth between apps that have been recently used and currently reside in the switcher tray. Those said apps can be accessed by double pressing the Home button on the device. Developers who cater for jailbroken users through the release of Cydia-based packages have been coming up with and launching tweaks that investigate additional ways to switch between apps.
It seems that all things relating to Microsoft's Skype service has been top of the gossip over the last couple of days, with the company releasing an additional mobile version of the app for Windows Phone, as well as bringing the Skype experience for the first time to a portable gaming device with their free of charge PlayStation Vita app.
The regular readers among us may remember that it was only three weeks ago when we brought you the news about a United States-based programmer named Andrey Fedotov adding the finishing touches to his HackStore project for the Mac. The HackStore was built on the notion that it would offer a curated selection of apps and tweaks that wouldn't otherwise be available from one resource due to Apple's reluctance to let developers submit certain things to the Mac App Store.
Jailbroken iPhone users happen to be benefitting from the luxuries which the Cydia store provides, one of them is using facial recognition to unlock their device. The RecognizeMe tweak has been available for jailbroken iPhones for quite some time through Cydia and even Android users hold bragging rights over iOS when it comes to this kind of biometric recognition.
If you were one of the ones individuals who were a little concerned about the security of your Mac when we brought you the news a week or so ago about the existence of a Trojan that infected machines by using a Java vulnerability, then you best brace yourself as a new variant of the infection has been discovered.
