As you'll probably be aware, this year's Worldwide Jailbreak Convention (WWJC '12) will commence in a short while, and unlike Apple's WWDC keynotes, the celebration and insight into the jailbreaking community will be available to watch as a live stream; details after the jump!
Hardcore fans of The Dark Knight trilogy of Batman films by Christopher Nolan will be happy to know that the Blu-ray release of the latest (and last) entry in the series - The Dark Knight Rises – has been officially detailed and confirmed. Details are available after the jump.
Twitter may be in the midst of a rather dramatic fall from grace amongst the technology community, but the company has announced at least one piece of news which is certain to bring a smile to the faces of the Technorati.
Despite making its way as the world's most renowned online retailer, Amazon has certainly made a significant contribution to the technology market over the past few years, and yesterday's press conference headed by CEO Jeff Bezos, which is now available to view online in its entirety, showed the company has the nous and initiative to make - and improve - its successful product range.

If Angry Birds is the iconic representation of mobile gaming of the modern day, then FarmVille has to epitomize the social gaming made possible by the likes of Facebook.

Users’ data and how it’s compromised to malicious sources is improving at a very fast pace today, but the way we set our passwords and log in to services is still very much stuck in the past. The general assumption is still the same: that the complexity of a password (multiple unique symbols, numbers, upper and lower case letters) is proportional to its security. Password guessing algorithms now take these patterns (using ‘@’ instead of ‘a’, randomly capitalizing letters etc.) into consideration and this means we need to change the way we set our passwords, perhaps even add an extra layer of authentication when signing into online services.
