The iPhone 5 Will Feature 1GB Of 1066MHz RAM Made By SamsungBy Jaden Ellett, September 16, 2012
It was discovered recently that Apple’s A6 processor may actually be Apple’s first custom designed CPU; instead of taking advantage of the new ARM A15 architecture like originally believed. Today we have even received word on some more information on the iPhone 5′s actual hardware specs relating to RAM.
The numbers seen on Apple’s A6 chip point to the iPhone 5 featuring 1GB of 1066MHz RAM. The evidence actually comes from the unobscured part numbers that can be seen on some of the images of Apple’s A6 chip. If you take a look at the right side of the chip you will notice the number K3PE7E700F-XGC2. According to Samsung’s 2012 product guide this represents a package-stacked DRAM module. AppleInsider further elaborates:
Breaking down the part number, “K3P” points to a dual-channel LPDDR2 package with 32-bit channels, while the “E7E7″ designation denotes the 512MB density of each DRAM die, which comes out to a totalof 1GB of RAM. Finally, the “C2″ yields the part’s 1066MHz cycle time/data rate.
What all this technical talk means to you is that you can expect Apple’s A6 chip to give the iPhone 5 a 33% boost in peak memory bandwidth compared to the iPhone 4S.

Android VS iOS: Which Platform’s Users Are More Active? [Report]On April 22, 2012, by Jaden
The Android VS Apple debate is one that I do not think will ever end. Each platform has its own pros and cons and in the end comes down to personal preference. Although the debate may never be settled there are always interesting reports that tend to tip the scales in favour for a specific platform.
TechCrunch reported today that Chitika has noted within the last 24 hours the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad have accounted for just under 68 percent of all (mobile) usage on its network. Androiddevices on the other hand have only accounted for about 28 percent of the total traffic, leaving all other platforms (Windows Phone, BlackBerry, etc.) responsible for a mere 5 percent of the total activity. You can actually see the statistics live for yourself at your convenience with a brand new tool from Chitika that refreshes itself every 24 hours, allowing you to see the mobile traffic dominance on Chitika’s ad network.
So does this prove that iOS is better than Android? Not at all. These statistics are however, very interesting if you are in the world of mobile advertising or anything related to mobile content in general. And additionally these stats show us that iOS owners are much more active than Android owners.
Apple Vows To Fight Flashback Virus, Mac Users Receive Wake-Up Call
|
Tuesday it is developing software to detect and remove a widespread computer virus that has infected an estimated 600,000 Macs and reminded Mac owners they are not immune to malware.
Last week, the virus — dubbed “Flashback” or “Flashfake” — spread quickly around the world, downloading itself onto Macs and allowing hackers to gain remote access to victims’ computers. |
Earlier versions of the malware stemmed from a pop-up window that tricked users into installing a fake version of Adobe Flash. Newer versions exploited a security flaw in Java software that infected Macs by redirecting users to a bogus site. Once hackers gained control of the computers, they could spy on Mac users and steal their personal and banking data.
Security experts have called Flashback the largest and most sophisticated attack on Macs to date. And many have criticized Apple for not patching the Java security flaw, which had been publicly identified in February.
Apple also said Tuesday that it was working with Internet service providers worldwide to disable the computer servers hosted by the malware’s creators.
Security firms Kaspersky Labs and Doctor Web have released tools so Mac users can check to see if their computers are infected by Flashback. The security firm F-Secure has written software to remove the malware.
Experts say the Flashback virus should serve as a wake-up call to Mac users whose computers are often considered more secure than PCs running Microsoft Windows. A 2009 survey by the antivirus firm ESET found that more than half of Americans considered PCs to be “very” or “extremely” vulnerable to cyberattacks, but only 20 percent felt the same way about Macs.
Some experts say Mac users have appeared immune to cybercrime because hackers have spent more time devising ways to hack Windows operating systems, which still run on the vast majority of PCs. As Macs grow in market share, however, they will likely receive more attention from hackers, and Mac owners should be more vigilant about keeping their computers secure by installing antivirus software and keeping their software updated, according to Alan Woodward, a visiting professor at the University of Surrey’s department of computing.
“Those using Mac OS have, perhaps, been lulled into a false sense of security,” Woodward wrote in a post on a blog hosted by the security firm Sophos.
He added: “Mac OS users may be ‘safer’ than Windows users, simply because they have fewer attacks focused on their systems, but they are not more ‘secure.’”
The Flashback virus is not the first time Macs have been targeted by hackers. Last May, between 60,000 and 125,000 Mac users were infected with the so-called Mac Defender malware, a phishing scam that tried to trick users into revealing their credit card information.
And two weeks ago, security researchers found malware on older versions of Microsoft Office for Mac that was distributed by rogue emails appearing to target Tibetan activist organizations. The infected Microsoft Word documents allowed hackers to take control of Macs in order to download, upload and delete files, steal passwords and credit card numbers, or send spam.
Researchers at Intego, a security firm for Apple products, wrote that “while, in the past, we did not see this type of attack targeting Macs, it is clear that the game has changed, and that we are entering a new period of Mac malware.”

Hacker DHowett Teases Us With An Untethered iOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4S VideoOn January 15, 2012, by Jaden
Today we broke news that hacker Planetbeing managed to get unsigned code running on the iPhone 4S. This is yet another step forward in the right direction for a public release of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak. Now, hacker Pod2G has written a quick update on his blog sharing a video uploaded by hacker @DHowett, a member of Chronic-Dev, of a Jailbroken (Untethered) iPhone 4S running the iOS 5.0.1 firmware that you can watch below.
If you watched the video above of DHowett’s Jailbroken iPhone 4S you will notice that everything seems to be working extremely well. He was able to reboot his iPhone 4S without a problem and browse through a special version of Cydia not yet released to the public.
The reason someone like DHowett is able to Jailbreak his iPhone 4S is because he has an official Apple developer account and has the technical knowhow of how to correctly apply the unfinished A5 Untethered Jailbreak to his iPhone 4S. The public will not see a release of this unfinished A5 Untethered Jailbreak because Apple could patch the exploit used before a fully functioning version is ever released. Thus, we will just need to sit tight and wait a few more days (according to Pod2G) until the Untethered iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Jailbreak is released.

[Rumor] iPad 3 May Launch On February 24th, Steve Jobs Anniversary
On December 25, 2011, by Braden
With any rumours surfacing around the world wide web, you have to take them with a grain a salt, as they are simply different people or groups speculating for hype. This upcoming news is no different, just another rumour circling the internet. As we know Apple has a quite predictable product update schedule ranging from 10 to 14 months for most of their products. Keeping this in mind we can assume that the update to the very successful iPad 2, will be coming sometime in the first quarter of 2012.
Focus Taiwan, a news channel publication has apparently obtained information from their Taiwanese makers in Apple’s supply chain, that many suppliers are being rushed in order to meet supply demand for the launch of the iPad 3 which will coincided with Steve Jobs’ birthdayanniversary, February 24th.
After the iPhone 4S successfully took the tech market by storm, the iPad3 is widely expected to be Apple’s first hit product to be released next year.
ndustry sources said the first shipment of the iPad3 could exceed 4 million units.Because it is a new gadget, it is taking time for makers in the supply chain to raise their yield rates. The sources said all OEM and ODM makers have exercised great caution in ensuring the smooth operations of their production lines.I

While this does make some sense, as Apple likes releasing products on Fridays, and the 24th definitely is a Friday, and it falls within the expected launch time. Apple has launched new products on his birthday anniversary before including the thunderbolt technology (sigh) and Safari 9. The original iPad was introduced back on January 27th 2010, and the iPad 2 was announced on March 2nd 2011.
Much of the hype surrounding the update to Apple’s tablet has been referring to the changes that we can expect or hope to see in the new model. This includes increasing the processing power of the tablet to remain competitive with the new Tegra 3 processor, and increasing the screen resolution ofthe iPad. Apple’s new core, the A6, would also be a quad-core processor, allowing for much quicker applications, video rendering, and overall speed. The increase in the screen quality, was one of the features that many were missing in the iPad 2 update from the first-gen iPad, dubbed Retina Display.
In addition to the hardware side, many believe that everyone’s favourite voice-assistant, Siri, will also come standard on the new iPad. These are a few of the more likely updates which also includes an upgrade of the rather pathetic cameras in the current iPad 2, but there are other suggestions including support for LTE, thicker, or thinner, and a different size of connector.

With whatever upgrades we see, or we are let down with, the first quarter of 2012 looks to be the time that we can expect to see just what Steve Jobs had planned for the tablet update.
