As part of its yearly hunt for a new Superbowl ad, Doritos has asked its customers to put together their own ads with the aim of having theirs chosen to be the one which runs during the halftime ad break. Obviously the competition proves rather popular amongst fans of triangular snacks.
We're big fans of Google's Chrome web browser here at Redmond Pie, and the majority of us use it as our daily driver on a variety of desktop operating systems, be that Mac OS X, Windows or even on the odd occasion, Ubuntu.
We have now been living with Siri since October 2011 when the iPhone 4S was made available for public consumption. There is no denying that Siri is a powerful addition to a mobile device, with the intelligent voice assistant being able to analyze voice commands and perform specific tasks based on this audible user instruction. But it seems as if the jury is still out on Siri by a lot of people, with a portion of user citing the lack of scope as reason.
The road to the untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 was anything but smooth, from the beginning of November when Pod2g announced he had found an iOS 5 bug, the journey has been filled with ups and downs and littered with obstacles to overcome. With that being said, the struggle to crack the A5 devices seems to have galvanized the best talent within the jailbreak community, with developers and security researchers coming together to produce an untethered jailbreak iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1.
Since the launch of the original iPhone nearly 5 years ago, Apple has prided itself on keeping customers coming back for more with every new release.
The iPhone 4S-owning world have been enjoying the many benefits of Siri for over three months now, taking advantage of all of the features which the next generation intelligent assistant provides. Such was the hype surrounding Siri, that we have even seen a number of applications trying to enter the Android Market, trying to pass themselves off as the real thing before being pulled from sale by Google.
If the speculation is to be believed, then Apple has plans in place to adopt and support the new 802.11ac specification across Airport base stations, Time Capsules, Apple TV, Notebooks and potentially the company’s range of mobile devices.
I had mentioned in an earlier post that one of the things which I was most looking forward to with the release ofthe iPhone 4S jailbreak was the new and innovative uses for the personal assistant, Siri. Developers have been itching to get their hands on a jailbroken 4S to allow them to test, amend and then release their tweaks and enhancements which will bring more power to the already very functional and intelligent voice analysis software.
Although iPhone 4S has continued to follow the precedent set by Apple’s smartphone legacy, its battery retention rates have left a lot to be desired.
If you’re a long-time jailbreaker of Apple products, the wait for the iPhone 4S untethered break may have been particularly treacherous, and the release of the A4 jailbreak late last month must have looked like raw steak to a lion.
