Real multi-app multitasking may be on its way to iOS thanks to jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich after he released a teaser video showing a tweak that he is currently working on. It's still in its early stages of development, but the video is enough to get us very excited indeed.
MultiPass is one of the latest tweaks to make its way onto the BigBoss repo that will likely appeal to the indecisive security conscious individuals out there. In today's modern world there are plenty of malicious individuals out there who make it their sole goal to try and extract information from smartphones that don't belong to them. It's for that reason that it's generally considered to be good practice to apply as much security as possible to the device. Apple's native Passcode offering is one way of doing that, with MultiPass existing to extend that functionality to suit user's needs.
A set of internal documents has revealed that Google is all set to make an assault on the soon-to-be bloated set-top TV device industry. The internal Google documents reveal that the Internet services company is deriving inspiration from existing products such as the Roku, Apple TV and Amazon's new Fire TV to introduce an intelligent set-top box known as Android TV that will hopefully serve as a powerful alternative to the existing solutions on the market.
Essential activities like banking, shopping and sending emails can all be achieved from the palm of our hands through a device that fits snugly in a trouser pocket. But with all that power comes an increased level of responsibility to protect ourselves and the people we communicate with online. Malicious groups that have previously attempted to target Apple ID holders through official looking phishing scams are at it again with a new "account validation" scam.
Samsung's Galaxy Note range had its fair share of critics from the get-go, with skeptics baffled as to why or how anybody would use devices of such monstrosities. Fast-forward a few years, though, and the word 'phablet' is thrown about constantly, with several of Samsung's rivals having followed the Korean companies lead in delivering smartphone-plus-tablet handsets. With the flagship Galaxy S5 almost upon us, the Galaxy Note 4 is the next big release as far as Samsung is concerned, and although we've heard precious little so far in its regard, a few details are now beginning to emerge.
Those who can’t function without a jailbreak are forced to stay on iOS 7.0.x unless iOS 7.1 is exploited. If you're one of those people then the chances are that iOS 7.1 includes a few tidbits that definitely have that appeal factor.
Because of its open-source nature, Facebook has used Google's Android as its main breeding ground for experimental new mobile features and ventures. The introduction of Facebook Home / Chat Heads update, for example, brought a neat, integrated launcher that combined the social company's own IM service with the native Android SMS app. Such improvements appear to have been rolled out at the expense of enhancing the official Facebook app for Android, which has been left looking rather unkempt and in need of a visual makeover. An overhaul is on the way, though, and if you're willing to jump through a couple of hoops, here's how you can enable the new-look UI right now on your device.

Viber is one of the more popular Skype alternatives out there, and with apps across every major platform it isn't difficult to see why. It's also hugely popular on iOS, even with FaceTime now offering not just a video calling option, but also a voice-only solution too. Heavy users of Viber will always want to be able to customize the app a little more than its developer does though, which is where Vibrator comes in.
Amazon’s Fire TV arrived with a bunch of bells and whistles, with the company proudly advertising a number of never-seen-before features for its latest gadget. One such highlight was the voice search capability, allowing a user to speak in the small mic hidden in the Fire TV’s remote control and search using natural speech instead of having to fiddle around with repetitive typing on a rather inconvenient mechanism that the TV remote’s buttons offer. However, did you know that if you own an Apple TV and an iOS device (even if it’s just an iPod touch), you can use the same level of voice search for your fruit-company gadget, too?
