Paul Morris·April 9, 2016

Google could be planning to make a move that could bring about large-scale changes for the Android platform, and in turn, for those that develop and produce apps for the world's most popular mobile operating system. Executives from Google, along with decision makers from other tech companies like Uber and Facebook, have reportedly been in attendance at a meeting solely put in place to discuss Apple's Swift programming language. Google has potentially seen enough about the power of the open-source language to be seriously considering adopting it as a "first-class language" for Android going forward.

Confirmed: FBI’s iPhone Unlocking Tool Does Not Work On iPhones With Touch ID

Paul Morris·April 7, 2016

There's been a huge amount of conjecture and discussion around the FBI's method of accessing data on an iPhone in recent weeks. In fact, ever since the FBI officially moved to dismiss its legal pursuit of Apple, the speculation has been pretty much non-stop about the methods used to gain access to the iPhone 5c used in the San Bernardino shooting last year. Some of the speculation focused on whether or not the method of intrusion could be used on Apple's modern iPhones that feature an internal Secure Enclave, and now, FBI Director James Comey has confirmed in an interview that his agency's method doesn't work on Touch ID-compatible iPhones. What this essentially means is that iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE and any other iOS device with Touch ID built right into it is safe from this method.

When you think of Apple, you may instantly think of the iPhone, iPad or the Mac. Alternatively, you may even think of Steve Jobs who co-founded the company, or conjure up instant images of the company's iTunes software. Certain individuals will instantly make references between Apple and the environment, focusing on the company's unwavering desire to become as an environmentally friendly company as possible. The Cupertino-based company is unapologetically outspoken about the lengths it goes to for helping the environment, and now, in this latest move, it looks as though retail Apple Store outlets will begin transitioning away from plastic bags in an effort to further improve on the company's environmental responsibilities.

FBI’s Method Of Unlocking iPhone Unlikely To Remain Secret

Paul Morris·April 4, 2016

The FBI may have officially taken the necessary steps to drop its case against Apple, but the ongoing encryption battle is far from actually being over and put to bed. The United States Department of Justice jumped through all of the necessary hoops last week in order to prevent its ongoing encryption case against Apple from going to court. The decision was taken internally after the FBI found another method of unlocking the iPhone 5c used in the San Bernardino shootings, and therefore no longer required Apple's intervention. Now, several security experts have gone on record as stating that the method used by FBI for accessing the device is unlikely to stay secret for long.

Apple Turns 40 Today, Hoists Iconic Pirate Flag At 1 Infinite Loop Campus

Paul Morris·April 1, 2016

On April 1, 1976, the company that we now know as Apple Inc. was formed by iconic tech leaders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and the somewhat lesser known Ronald Wayne. Today, or April 1, 2016, celebrates a huge milestone for the company in that it has now been in existence for 40 years, and while the terrain that the company has navigated over during the last four decades hasn't always been smooth, what we see before us is entirely unrecognizable from the firm that was incorporated in 1976 to sell the Apple I personal computer kit.
