iDevices could be hacked by chargers, really?

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have came up with a way to hack into iOS devices using a charger.

The time to hack this device? Only 1 minute, and the approach could affect all iOS devices regardless of the devices being jailbroken or not.

Apple has refused to comment on this report.

The researchers used a Linux-based Beagleboard, which is a Linux PC the size of a credit card.  This presents danger as the U.S. Army has recently approved using these iOS devices in the military, so the military could be susceptible to hacking attempts by these 'chargers'.

Next time, you should be careful if you 'borrow' someone's charger. You could have your iOS device hacked.

Apple is working on "The Evasi0n Killer" The end to the iOS 6 Jailbreak

Apple is now working on a fix for the record-breaking popular Evasi0n Jailbreak on iOS 6 for iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad, iPodTouch 5th Gen- You get the picture.

The app had over 7 million new jailbreakers on iOS 6 in just a few days- Astounding! Evasi0n uses flaws in the iOS software for the jailbreak to work and this fix Apple is conducting might plug the holes required for Evasi0n to do its thing.

So what's the problem?Well, for those that don't know if one exploit is patched, Evasi0n won't work. Other Apple product users who did not jailbreak their device might not be able to for a LONG time if they update, and it might take a while before a new jailbreak is invented.

The iOS 6.1.3 beta 2 is currently being released to developers and supposedly fixes one of the exploits evasi0n uses to its advantage.

If they patch most of the bugs that the hackers have used to create evasi0n, it might be a while before we see another jailbreak for those on 6.1.3.

Personally, I'm a little afraid but I'm fine because I stayed on iOS 5 with my iPhone 4 with my jailbreak.

3 Million iPad 4th Gen and iPad Minis Sold in 3 Days!

I found this on TechCrunch. Check it Out Guys! Cannot Believe 3 Million were sold already, seeing Apple's success, this should not be a surprise.


From TechCrunch

Apple has just announced that the iPad mini and 4th generation iPad, both of which debuted on October 23 in San Francisco, have just topped 3 million sales in 3 days.
The smaller, lighter tablet had been rumored for years, yet its arrival was somewhat overshadowed by Hurricane Sandy devastating the North East. And the 4th gen iPad came as a bit of a surprise, though it was also rumored prior to launch.
On the November 2 launch date, a week after pre-orders began, lines weren’t quite as long as they have been for other Apple products, despite having two new models on sale.
Still, Apple has managed to sell a whopping 3 million of both devices in a very short period of time. For reference, Asus has said that the company sells around 1 million Nexus 7 tablets per month.
At the same time, this isn’t exactly the level of opening day, weekend, or week sales we usually see out of Apple. Apple’s 3rd generation iPad, however, sold 3 million on its own during its opening weekend last March, so this time around two separate device lines are splitting the same number of sales. The iPhone 5 had 2 million pre-orders in 24 hours, and sold 5 million in the first weekend.
Apple likely won’t break out sales by device type, but we’ll see if analysts or supply chain information provides a better breakdown.
