| NSA can hijack ‘most sensitive data’ on your iPhone, top secret files reveal Posted: 08 Sep 2013 03:04 PM PDT
The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has pretty much compromised every online user’s security through a previously unknown ten-year program against encryption technologies that made “vast amounts” of collected data “exploitable.” After these shocking revelations came to light Thursday, a new report Sunday in German news weekly Der Spiegel has given the privacy scare a whole new meaning. See, owners of iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices are at risk of their “most sensitive data” being fully exploitable because the NSA is able to crack protective measures of these systems, previously believed to be highly secure…(...)

| Martin Hajek’s vision of the Lord of the Rings iPhone 5S Home button Posted: 08 Sep 2013 12:34 PM PDT
A pair of sketchy images posted Friday by the Chinese-language blog C Technology prompted quite a stir among technology denizens. If you haven’t seen them already, the purported photographs show an odd-looking iPhone 5S packaging (likely Photoshop’d) sporting device graphics on the box’s front. The most curious aspect of it: a redesigned Home button, without the square in the middle and with a silver ring around it. The photos led armchair analysts to postulate that the ring is actually a fingerprint sensor – nevermind that virtually every single rumor points to the sensor being actually built underneath the Home button. Anyway, here’s 3D artist Martin Hajek’s awesome Lord of the Rings mockup which draws from the supposedly “leaked” packaging…(...)

| VLC 2.1 arrives with souped up subtitles, FTP web downloads and lots more Posted: 08 Sep 2013 10:59 AM PDT
After a two-year hiatus from the App Store, VideoLan’s comprehensive media player for iOS devices, VLC, has finally made a comeback in July. Rewritten from the ground up to take advantage of modern media technologies, the new VLC brought as a revamped interface along with its trademark support for a bunch of non-iOS media formats such as .mkv files. Following on the initial re-release, the team yesterday posted a major VLC update. Version 2.1 extends media playback capabilities with new features and numerous improvements, including UPNP and FTP discovery and streaming, web content downloads through the FTP protocol, deinterlacing (Always, Automatic or Never), subtitles font customization and lots more…(...)

| 2013: Infected Wars contaminates the App Store Posted: 08 Sep 2013 06:00 AM PDT
With all these brand name high profile games coming out this week, it is easy for lesser-known titles to go unnoticed. Sometimes, games that don't have a huge following are just as good as, or even better than, popular titles. 2013: Infected Wars is an action horror shooter that puts you on the streets with the kind of creatures you might find in the Resident Evil world. Luckily, this game doesn't leave you to fend for yourself. You can also blast away mutant monsters with your friends in co-operative multiplayer mode…(...)

| Everything we think we know about the iPhone 5S Posted: 07 Sep 2013 11:30 PM PDT
It’s been a long, long time, or so it seems, since Apple unveiled the iPhone 5. And while the handset has done decidedly well for the company, it’s been close to a year now, and consumers are ready for something new. If our intel is accurate, they shouldn’t have to wait much longer. Apple sent out invites last week to a media event set to take place on Tuesday, September 10 at its Cupertino, California campus. And it’s widely expected to use the stage to unveil a new handset. In fact, most of the evidence suggests that, for the first time in its history, Apple will unveil two new iPhones next week. One is the replacement for the flagship iPhone 5, believed to be called the iPhone 5S, and the other is an all-new budget model, allegedly called the iPhone 5C. Now, Christian has already done a great job going over what we expect to see from the latter, so it’s time to take a look at the former. Here’s everything we think we know about the iPhone 5S…(...)
