Google Search is Google's oldest service, and perhaps the one the company is the most well-known for. While it still holds the highest market share in the US and most parts of the world, the Mountain View company announced today quite a few enhancements to make the service work better on tablets.
According to a new report published by American market analysis firm Nielsen Media Research, Apple Inc. is the top smartphone manufacturer in the United States of America while Android, as a mobile operating system, keeps pulling ahead of iOS.
Earlier today, Apple released the new iOS 4.3.5 firmware to patch a critical security issue with certificate verification in iOS. It is important to note that there is currently no untethered jailbreak solution available for both iOS 4.3.4 (which was released on 15th July) and the just released iOS 4.3.5. Do NOT update to 4.3.5 or 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak.
It's been little over a week since Apple scrambled to release iOS 4.3.4 to plug the easily jailbreakable 4.3.3, and already another update has surfaced which addresses "certificate validation" vulnerabilities, and unfortunately, just like iOS 4.3.4, those of you that own an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 can no longer jailbreak, not even tethered like other devices.
Just months before iOS 5 is released and ten days after iOS 4.3.4 came out, one wouldn't expect to ever hear about iOS 4.3.5. It now turns out that yet another update for iOS 4.3 has been uploaded to Apple's servers, allegedly fixing a critical security issue.
iOS 4.2.10 has just been released by Apple for CDMA based iPhone 4 running on the Verizon network. According to the official change log, this minor update fixes a security vulnerability with certificate validation in iOS.
Apple has just released iOS 4.3.4 which patches the PDF vulnerability exposed by Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0 tool which was used to jailbreak iPhone, iPad (and iPad 2) or iPod touch on iOS 4.3.3.
Released alongside iOS 4.3.4 is iOS 4.2.9 for CDMA based iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network that patches PDF vulnerability in Mobile Safari exposed by the recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 tool by Comex.
If you've been paying attention to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware that the third beta of iOS 5 was seeded to developers earlier this week, and inevitably found its way onto file sharing sites hours later. Similarly to previous beta releases of iOS 5, Beta 3 requires users to have a registered developer account with Apple in order to get past the system's built-in activation process. Thankfully, there's a workaround.
Apple has always been a fairly malware-safe world, aside from an occasional threat that pops up every so often. While malware incidence has indeed been low on both Mac and iOS, Mac OS X anti-malware maker Intego, has developed a new malware scanner for iOS devices.
