Internet auction site eBay has left users of its services, including PayPal, with reason to be concerned after posting a message up on the community page urging users to change their passwords. Since the original message popped up a short while ago, the company has stepped out and clarified the situation, noting that a hacker may have "compromised a database containing encrypted passwords," although was also keen to stipulate that only "non-financial data" had been affected.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, otherwise known as WWDC, kicks off in less than two weeks' time, and in advance of the event's commencement, the fruit company has just updated its official WWDC app for WWDC 2014. As you might expect, the whole app has been given the standard iOS 7 makeover, accented throughout by a neat orange tint, and if you're planning on heading down to the event, it provides all of the information you'll need.
A few days ago, Stefan Esser, better known in jailbreak circles as i0n1c, revealed that he'd successfully performed an iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak on his very yellow iPhone 5c. Following this exciting inroad, he then went on to explain how the single kernel exploit was achieved, and now, finally, he's shown off a demo clip of his device booting up and running Cydia on iOS 7.1.1.
Large companies often join forces in synergistic promotional moves, and it looks like famed rock band Coldplay has hooked up with Starbucks to push its latest song free of charge. If you're an iPhone owner and Coldplay fan, you'll want to grab the Starbucks app right now if you haven't already, at which point you'll be able to download the group's latest song Always In My Head for free via Apple's iTunes.
Solar power is one of those things that was once supposed to provide a fix for all of our power-based problems. Even though some companies are using solar energy to at least part fuel their datacenters, it has still not quite lived up to its billing. Solar energy has even been talked of as a way of powering our personal gadgets, too, but so far nothing has really come to fruition. Sure, calculators and keyboards exist that run on power generated from the sun, but that's a far cry from keeping a power hungry iPhone juiced all day long.
It seems that re-releasing existing smartphones with a beefed up set of specifications is all the rage these days. With rumors circulating that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is going to gain a bigger, badder brother in the Galaxy S5 Prime, some may have wondered what HTC was going to do about the idea that its main competition will have one-upped it once again. Increasingly, it's looking like the answer to that is a predictable one, because rumors now also point to HTC having its own Prime in the works.

Even though Samsung's Galaxy S series is considered the company's main, flagship line, the Galaxy Note range has won the hearts and affections of those looking for a similar premium experience on a larger canvas. This year, we're expecting to see the Galaxy Note 4 emerge around September time, coinciding once again with the IFA gathering in Berlin, Germany, and even though we've quite a way to go, tidbits of info are already trickling in from around the Web.
Over the weekend, German security wiz i0n1c posted a snap demonstrating an iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak, and whilst it seems less than likely that a public release is on the cards any time soon, it's certainly an intriguing and exciting inroad in the battle against Apple's own security team.
HTC may have already released the successor to last year's incredibly popular One M7 with the all-new One M8 smartphone, but already, the Taiwanese outfit is busily teasing another new device via its official Twitter feed. Unfortunately, the tidbit offers very few clues other than that we should expect "curves," and given the beautiful design of its latest flagship handset, we're expecting the company's design team to pull off another impressive finish on whatever this upcoming gadget will be.
