At this point, it’s certainly a given fact that Apple will be refreshing its mobile lineup of devices in time for the holiday season, and one of those devices is the Cupertino’s smaller slate, the iPad mini. According to a new report that originates from Taiwan, the “iPad mini 3” will be a mighty thin device, and if the source is to be believed, then it would be the thinnest iPad Apple has ever made.
The voice-to-text dictation in iOS has always been one of those features that people either use extensively, or have never even noticed. Those that do make heavy use of dictation have long had one main complaint though, and that's been about the way their voice is converted to text.
Apple prides itself on the security of its iOS mobile operating system, and aside from the occasional hiccup that besets all software at one point or another, this tends to be the case. However, one jailbreak expert has done some serious digging into the guts of iOS and discovered that while the software is pretty safe from the continued threat of hacks and attacks from malware makers, there are certain loopholes within the iOS make-up that make it potentially easy for Apple and government agencies to covertly get hold of your personal data.
Saving links to be read later may seem like a simple, forgettable feature but as apps like Instapaper and Pinboard have already proven that there's plenty of use for such a feature. Now, two years after buying Instapaper competitor Spool, Facebook has launched its very own read-it-later service.
Apple has just rolled out download links for iOS 8 Beta firmware, and as well as adding one or two new features, there’s the customary dose of bug fixes and general performance enhancements. Details, as ever, can be found after the break!
There are plenty of different ways that an individual can embrace security to make the home, office - or any other location - a lot more secure. Each possible area of entry, such as doors, windows or garages, can be fortified to ensure that it's extremely difficult for an intruder to breach. Alternatively, it's also possible to purchase and integrate security cameras that can monitor and record the property at all times. That option can sometimes prove to be a little too expensive. For those of us who have an extra iPhone lying around, the Manything home security webcam app is an entirely free-of-charge solution that lets you use a spare iPhone as a video surveillance camera.
Apps are what make the world go round, of that there's little doubt these days. A look at any of the app stores and their download figures should set aside any thought to the contrary. We love apps as much as anyone else, and we'd argue possibly a tad more, too. All apps are great, but we really love apps that go free for a limited time, which is why we feel it's our civic duty to make sure that you, the dear reader, get to take advantage of such temporary price drops.
We come across tons of new apps on a daily basis for different platforms, and some of them go beyond their advertised features and provide a few extra seconds of entertainment. We’re talking about Easter eggs here, if you’re on the same page as us.
They say no good thing in life is free, but we disagree. Over here, there’s something free every day - thanks to our daily offerings of best paid apps across the iTunes App Store that can be obtained for free for a limited time. Today, we have 8 such apps for the iPhone and iPad, and you can browse our findings right past the jump.
The jailbreak world can often be a dark and murky one, so when you hear about the biggest and arguably most popular repository of jailbreak apps being hacked, you tend to take notice. That's what happened very recently, with the BigBoss repo apparently falling foul of hackers.
