| Did you know you could delete digits in the Calculator app by swiping? Posted: 30 Mar 2013 04:23 PM PDT
We’ve come across some pretty cool tricks in iOS over the years. There’s the six hidden buttons on the iPad’s split keyboard, the long-hold action in the Mail app that brings up your last draft, and my favorite, Photo Stream websites. Today we’ve got another neat little tidbit to share with you involving the stock Calculator application. I know, for most of you this app rarely gets touched. But for those of you that use it more often, this tip could prove very useful…(...) "Did you know you could delete digits in the Calculator app by swiping?" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Chpwn and other developers hit with iMessage DoS attack Posted: 30 Mar 2013 03:19 PM PDT
Over the past few days, several well-known iOS and jailbreak developers have reported that they’ve been hit with an iMessage DoS, or denial of service, attack. The attacks feature a series of spam messages that end up crashing the iMessage app. The list of affected developers include Sn0wBreeze creator iH8sn0w, Zephyr creator Chpwn, and others. And the perpetrator has been tracked to a Twitter account involved in selling things like provisioned UDIDs and Siri proxy servers…(...)

| Tension rises as Samsung complains about not receiving iPhone 6 chip orders Posted: 30 Mar 2013 03:05 PM PDT
Despite the ongoing legal wrangling over mobile technology patents, Samsung to this date remains the only supplier of Apple-designed processors which drive iPhones, iPads and iPods. The South Korean conglomerate has been exclusively building these chips according to Apple’s blueprints at its multi-billion dollar fabrication facility in Austin, Texas. However, recent chatter increasingly points to rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) possibly stealing the Apple contract from Samsung as Apple looks to further distance itself from its chief rival. A new report from South Korea alleges Apple has now actually excluded Samsung as a future mobile processor supplier. In turn, TSMC, which is the world’s largest independent semiconductor foundry, may produce a significant portion, even possibly all of mobile chips for Apple’s next-gen iPhone 6 to be released in 2014…(...)

| US Patent Office turns down Apple’s iPad mini trademark application Posted: 30 Mar 2013 12:59 PM PDT
Apple’s been having some pretty bad luck on the patent and trademark front lately. It recently lost a trademark battle in Mexico for its world-renown ‘iPhone’ moniker, and it’s fighting a similar battle in Brazil. And that bad luck continues this week with reports claiming that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has turned down the Cupertino company’s trademark application for its just-launched iPad mini…(...)

| Samsung worried second damages trial could see Apple extract north of $1 billion Posted: 30 Mar 2013 12:07 PM PDT
As you know, United States District Judge Lucy Koh shaved $450 million off the $1.05 billion verdict the jury handed to Apple in the high-stake Apple v. Samsung patent trial last August, citing "an impermissible legal theory." She ordered a new trial for the remaining fourteen Samsung products and Nokia – of all companies – filed a brief with the appeals court on behalf of Apple, claiming Judge Koh got it all wrong. And in the latest twist to the ongoing legal saga, the South Korean conglomerate in court documents expresses worries that the second damages trial could see Apple win even more than before…(...)

| Meet Mittens, Disney’s new physics-based puzzler Posted: 30 Mar 2013 09:47 AM PDT Who would have thought Disney Interactive would ever produce a smash hit for the iPhone? Seemingly against all odds, that’s exactly what the company has accomplished with its charming puzzler, Where’s My Water? (free, $0.99 universal). The game knocked Rovio’s Angry Birds off the top spot on the App Store’s list of paid apps just 24 hours following its release and ratcheted up a million downloads in its first month of release, enough to score an Apple Design Award for iPhone apps. Where’s My Water? was also Apple’s 25 billionth app download and was featured in a free download promotion. Disney, of course, wasted no time building a merchandising business around the game. But that was 2012. Now in 2013, Disney is looking to replicate its success with a brand new physics-based puzzler involving kittens and aptly named Mittens. Have a look at the official trailer and jump past the fold for additional info…(...) "Meet Mittens, Disney’s new physics-based puzzler" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| How to re-enable background audio playback for Safari videos in iOS 6 Posted: 30 Mar 2013 05:00 AM PDT
Remember the good old days, in iOS 5, when you could listen to a video’s audio in the background on your device while multitasking? All you had to do was double tap the Home button, swipe to the left to reveal the iPod controls, and press Play. But for some reason, Apple disabled this feature in iOS 6, leaving us without a native way to do things like listen to YouTube videos in Safari while texting or browsing Twitter. But the good news is, we’ve come across a fairly easy way to get it back…(...) "How to re-enable background audio playback for Safari videos in iOS 6" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

| Keep your apps up-to-date with Auto App Updater Posted: 30 Mar 2013 12:36 AM PDT
I’m on my iPhone all throughout the day, so when an update for an app pops up, I usually grab it right away. On my iPad, however, it’s a different story. Sometimes I’ll go a couple of days without using it, and the updates tend to pile up. For those of you with a similar problem, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s a jailbreak tweak called Auto App Updater that can automatically install your updates for you. So you’ll never have to worry about installing them manually again…(...) "Keep your apps up-to-date with Auto App Updater" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
