It's been a while since we had a good security scare, so here it is. According to Microsoft, a good portion of its Windows operating systems are potentially at risk of having someone gain complete control of a machine using what it calls modified packets. The security hole comes due to a flaw that has been found in Microsoft Secure Channel and while it doesn't know of anyone yet who had exploited it, Microsoft had made a patch available that it says will keep us all nice and safe.
Cydia may be lauded as the most important tool in the broad mechanics that comprise the jailbreak scene, and in many respects, it is. But if you thought that a jailbreak + Cydia = all of the untethered jailbreaks you've enjoyed over the last few years, you'd perhaps be underestimating the contribution of several other key components. Cydia Substrate, for example, is a quiet workhorse that, without it, Cydia cannot properly work its magic, and with author Saurik having rolled out several key updates already since Pangu8 released over three weeks ago, a new version has just arrived featuring a myriad of improvements and enhancements. Details after the jump.
Windows 10 is all the rage these days. For those who are excited about Windows 10's aesthetics, a Windows 10 Transformation UX Theme Pack has been released and shall dress your Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 in all the makeup required to walk the Windows 10 ramp.
Google is known for doing some rather strange things, even if they eventually turn out to be brilliant. Take Google's Fiber broadband rollout to select markets as a prime example of something that had us shrugging our shoulders before realizing that it made so much sense we can't work out why it didn't do it before.
Even now, nearly two months since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were released and we're still waiting for some major players to update their apps to support Apple's two new smartphones. One of those apps that people have been waiting for an update to is the Netflix app, and that update just landed on the App Store.
When proposing marriage, many men - and women - dream up original, romantic methods of popping that life-changing question. Such a special, memorable occasion deserves a little prior consideration, after all, and in order for everything to run smoothly, there's usually a certain expectation. If you're a hardcore geek, though, an expensive meal at the top of the Eiffel Tower just doesn't cut it, and so one smitten tech fan spent tens of thousands on 99 boxed iPhone 6 units, laying them out in a heart shape as an enclosed space from which to ask for his partner's hand in marriage. No expense being spared, he said his piece, but much to his dismay, the outcome wasn't as expected.
It's no secret that Apple is a company that strives pretty hard to keep all its new upcoming products off the radar, fearing that rivals may plan ahead or simply because consumer anticipation and excitement may drop and the company does not want to lose that spotlight.
The one long-standing criticism of Samsung's powerhouse smartphone line has been about the plasticky, cheap build quality. Whilst the likes of the Apple iPhone and HTC's One series have set the standard in this regard with some premium finishes, the Galaxy roster has been the subject of much debate. Sure, most power users are nonplussed about the outer shell, particularly when the likes of Apple and HTC are forced to cut corners and remove perceived necessities like a removable battery, but in recent times, the Korean company has expanded its horizons by offering handsets with metallic finishes. The Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 are both products of this new initiative, but like many other metal-housed devices before them, the new duo is apparently afflicted with signal issues.
