Privacy Issues in the iPhone
Privacy Issues in the iPhone
He can go ahead if all you are talking true. The iPhone may have serious problems of privacy. Lo explained.
It turns out that all the transitions in the menus of the iPhone are made by capturing the screen, so that they can switch from one application to another the iPhone made two catches, one for the application and another menu. The phone automatically takes care of erasing the catch, so that at any moment pass unnoticed to the user, but these images can be obtained later through computer forensics tools with which such information can be obtained from a disc that has been previously cleared. This is because most systems make the positions of memory are marked as empty, so that they can later problems written without actually having data.
The fact is that there are already some experts who have managed to retrieve the catch of the images, which for example could find a screenshot of the screen with the last SMS sent with a list of your contacts in a particular application, the list of Recent calls etc …. In fact, almost all applications of the iPhone is moved using this type of transitions, thereby virtually the privacy of any program within the phone from Apple may be running a certain risk.
Privacy Issues in the iPhone
Still, the concept might be a little too convoluted, and I would venture to say that you are more likely to steal the phone to you to be chosen by an expert to look at some of your screenshots. But yes, privacy is something rare in this technology.

Case for iPhone 3G
We tried the case of Maya Proporta for iPhone 3G
These days ESAB looking for a 3G iPhone for my sleeve and wanted to try something other than silicone sleeves. If I remember I made an entry on a case that gained from Incase for iPod Touch and if after a few days to test it initially convinced me much, then I finished a bit tired of it because the truth is that much gets dirty, but much, a barbarity , Is a full-fledged atrapapolvo.
Although it is also true that it’s easy to clean this kind of sleeves, but go for iPhone 3G, given their nature phone and aesthetically I like very much as it is, I did not want to add any permanent coating, so I started to look for something kind iSock, one sleeve of fabric or similar to carry it covered as long as I have in my pocket but then that is very easy to remove and is not attached to telephone trapping dust and others. So I chose to the sleeve of Maya Proporta, which is basically what they came looking.
At the entrance you find some extended images of the details of the case, both the front and back outside view as the vision of the interior and how to have a 3G iPhone put inside, with a few comments on what seems to me this great option Proporta.
The overall aesthetics of the sleeve is great, the front has two lines of color that give a touch of fun in the back and we have a small hook to bring the sleeve hung effortlessly. The material is made that the sleeve is very soft and perfectly mimics the skin.
The interior of the sleeve of another colour which is more cream and is made of a material even more soft and velvety, not to make any pressure on the screen or the back of your iPhone. It fits perfectly to the size of the iPhone, we would say that neither lack nor spare anything, it’s like a glove. I have also tried to put the iPod while also touch and is subject, of course the sleeve does not fit so well with the iPhone 3G.
At the upper edge as shown in the photo above is finished in most plastics and other materials more resistant as it is the party that will be more in touch with our fingers to benefit and put the phone.
And this is the final result, the iPhone 3G within the sleeve of Proporta hearings in front, rear and above. As you see I made that part of the speakers exposed, this is done on purpose as well for the dial tone sounds much stronger than in the other position. However it is obvious that if you carry headphones, the iPhone is the setback with the headphone jack exposed.
The sleeve is worth 13 euros including taxes, more then 3 more than regular mailing resulting in 16 if you do not buy any other (I used to Agency a plastic protector for the screen by 8 euros), well can not be said or that neither side is a bargain for what it is, is an appropriate price. And if you do not like the color you have chosen me, who is brown, there are many more colors to choose from, yellow, green, purple, orange, red… the choice is yours.

Philips accessories for iPods and iPhone
When we think of acquiring a sleeve or any other accessory for our iPod’so iPhone always resort to the same brands that later prove difficult to find, oblingandonos to make a purchase online.
This does not mean much problem but it is always best to see what we buy physically, especially when we do not have a good reference for the final out of the sleeve of Maya Proporta like we did Salva Castro. And that we can find from the distribution that Philips has in many countries.
If you dais a return on his website, the section of accessories for portable players we can find a wide variety. Some continue to be plenty of others but are really interesting, so I selected a small sample of those who seem to me we should take into account as an option to buy.
VideoShell a rigid and transparent casing for the iPod Touch with the exact dimensions to be perfectly aligned and a sheet adhesive to protect the screen. So far nothing new, particularity and detail that I liked is that in part trasea incorporates a carrier that folds excel without the casing, allowing it to put our iPod Touch either vertically or horizontally. All for about 15 euros, which does not strike me as excessive.
Funda Jam Jacket, silicone sleeves available for the iPod Nano as Classic. Their corners are reinforced by if there is any drop and an organizer of headphones in the rear, so that once finished using ropes and rolling we can put the headphones so as not to be getting tangled up.
* Command universal dock for the iPod. This is great, if for some reason you need to buy a universal command to your TV, DVD player or any device you can opt for this solution. Consisting of a base that allows accommodate the iPod and control it while we took the audio or video to our TV or a computer speaker. The command for its part has an LCD screen that can be used to display menus of our iPod regardless of location because it works through walls. The snag is that it is not allowed to synchronize with our computer does not have to take to connect the USB cable.
Ultimately, I strongly recommend echéis a look at other accessories for if there were any other whatever your pleasure or utility. Better alternative sure that there are also worst but the important thing is to have the more options the better. Following is a matter of valuing each that compensates him more, the good Philips as I said before is easier to find them.

iPhonemania in Japanese magazines
Since the iPhone was launched 3G in Japan, many have been able to read news about queues to buy it, if you would succeed or not, and so on. The truth is that many in the street, are not (in one month, I met only a couple of Japanese using it on the train) but it certainly has a pretty big popularity; What I could see when I went to one of the Yodobashi Camera is in Tokyo, specifically in Shinjuku.
They had exposed an entire collection of magazines about the iPhone; In other words, new magazines, publishing and recent first numbers, devoted exclusively to the iPhone and its applications, as the Jailbreak (unlock to install third party applications not approved by Apple) and also with tutorials, tips and so on. Really impressive… something that had not, to my knowledge, none of the terminals Japanese han ido out in batches every six months in Japan. Here you teach a few photos of each of the magazines that had… there is incredible, the amount of magazines that have come in a very short space of time!

Air MacBook 2 GHz and 120 GB hard drive
Air MacBook 2 GHz
We already know that Apple intends to redesign its range of portable according to the latest rumours, and there is talk much of the new design of the MacBook and MacBook Pro. However, nobody has stopped to think about the ultraportable Apple MacBook Air, and just show some rumors that could define how a model would be renewed this computer.
Firstly, the next MacBook Air could happen to have a processor 65 nanometers to be one of 45 based on the Penryn architecture, which would allow speeds of 2 GHz or even higher, in exchange for having to move from 45 watts of power 60. In addition, it would be very likely to be introduced in the range of 120 GB hard drive or even 160 GB which is already using the iPod classic. With regard to solid-state disks, could introduce a 128 GB manufactured by Samsung.
Best of all is that the rumors claim that the launch of this new MacBook Air is imminent, so I bet that Apple could renew this September, literally, his entire range laptop.

Camino 1.6.3, follows the evolution of minimalism fact browser
I’ve always been a big fan of the Road project, a lightweight browser, Firefox brother and therefore with the same layout engine, which I used to search quickly or to take an alternative to my default browser, which is undoubtedly Firefox 3. In fact I’m using a lot lately Safari for that, but I have been using since the early versions Way.
And speaking of versions is what brings me to write this entry: Way has another evolution demonstrating that the project far from being stopped, including continuing developments in the landscape of this small but versatile browser. In the version that was just introduced, 1.3.6 1.6.3 you can find some of the patches and bug fixes de rigueur, a new version of the Mozilla Gecko engine 1.8.1.16.
Just over this version that brings us proof that the project is still alive and kicking, but that’s it, and knowing it is good to have another evolution engine for testing.

The consultancy Gartner partially approves iPhone for business use
The perstigiosa technology consultant Gartner has given the iPhone a first “go ahead” to use his business. This initial approval has been part because, although the firmware 2.0’s iPhone has many of the characteristics necessary you need a mobile device in business, still lacks some essential features for this market.
The Gartner report highlights the effort he has made Apple in the new firmware for the device adpatar to business requirements, such as use of a centralized server as Microsoft Exchange push to get information on the iPhone, and advances in the new VPN connection software.
However, Gartner criticizes Apple does not permit the installation of background processes running on the iPhone to take software to prevent theft of data, firewall or any other specific implementation of security needed in the business environment.
He urged Apple to change iTunes (or get a new application) and what suits the needs of the environment, such as blocking installation of certain applications and increase encryption security configuration files of users… In other words: more security and new options involved.
