The concern is that not only are the messages manipulate by a proxy, but 90% of the people installing this app have no idea that their mail is going through a proxy, and that they are handing over their email credentials to a third party. People simply click through the OK buttons without a...

See this page: LinkedIn Intro: Doing the Impossible on iOS [UPDATED] | LinkedIn Engineering http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/24/linkedins-new-mobile-app-called-a-dream-for-attackers/?_r=0 And think twice about installing the Linkedin App Really, this issue should be on the front page but...

Just saw this come across the wire. Sad news. He was a Giant.

Most of us don't need 802.11N for out iPhones, at least not till we get WiFi syncing and the ability to stream high-bandwidth movies etc. This is probably good according to a story over on TUAW. They point out that there is very likely no advantage to the 801.11N offered by the iPhone 4...

The link was to Gawker. The original article was here: Digital Society ? Blog Archive ? Apple faking 489 to 815 PPI on iPhone 4 ads Look, you only destroy your own credibility when you defend Apple blindly in the face of proof that they lied about the Anti-Aliasing published by someone who has...

Next time do some on-line research. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Just put some descriptive words into google along with the word scam and you would be amazed how quickly this stuff is found to be scams. Never sign up for text message alerts. (Or anything you have to give...

So the new gyroscopes in the iPhone 4, How long till these are integrated into games, and how long till someone throws the ip4 thru their big screen while playing tennis? Questions that are bound to come up include: Is this sensor fast enough for a gaming controller? How much power does it...

Total power off reboot was at best a temporary fix. It seems to getting slow again. Simple things like tapping the sms icon can take sometimes 10 seconds. The good news is I will probably get a clean install with the next OS version and my contract is complete, so maybe Apple will release a...

Just did a total OFF reboot. I will see if this helps. I'd rather not restore as a new device if I can avoid it, but thats next if this does not help.

There are times my iphone just freezes while trying to change springboard pages and after something like 30 seconds it will carry on. What in the world makes this thing go slower and slower. Yeah, its only a 3G, but having never actually used a 3GS its not a case of over-active expectations...

The latest IM Plus gains text to speech as an in-app subscription for 99 cents per month. I decided to buy the service because I drive a lot and people send me IMs while I am driving. Its about all I can do to open the conversation, I wouldn't want to text back while driving. (I probably...

Its not a matter of boredom. Its a matter of functionality. The current UI was never designed to handle 11 pages of apps. In fact, functionality falls apart after just three or four pages. It was never designed with the App Store in mind. Everyone seems to think Apple just does it so much...

WARNING... If you have not installed 3.1 on your 3G phone: DO NOT INSTALL IT. Wait for 3.1.1 This release is not worth it. Stick with 3.0. See this article: http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/09/16/iphone-31-bugs-random-freeze-shut/

And TODAY, we have another outage, and I swear I am not responsible. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
