A forensic analysis shows that a sophisticated attack on Jeff Bezos’ iPhone X gave full access to both his photos and messages. While iOS is far better protected against malware than Android devices, iPhones are not immune, especially to sophisticated, targeted attacks. Background The National Enquirer ran a series of posts in which it said it had evidence of an affair between Bezos and former Fox anchor Lauren Sanchez.

“We believe this decision is not based on a technical assessment of Kaspersky products – that we continuously advocated for with the BSI and across Europe – but instead is being made on political grounds,” the security company said on Wednesday. “We believe that peaceful dialogue is the only possible instrument for resolving conflicts. War isn’t good for anyone.” One does not need to look much further than a classic Clausewitz quote to realise that war and politics are very much linked....

Jon Gosselin called out ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, for letting their kids film Kate Plus 8, despite an official judge ruling against it.

The preferred alternative name would be iPhone (2021)… The survey was carried out by SellCell, which posed the question, “Could naming the next Apple smartphone ‘iPhone 13 put you off as the number 13 can be deemed unlucky?” One in five iPhone and iPad users (18....

More importantly, Geekbench results (seen below) tell us that iPad 2 is clocked around “25 percent higher than the iPhone 4S”. Overall, the Apple-designed dual-core A5 chip inside iPhone 4S is estimated to run at 800MHz versus iPad 2’s 1GHz A5 processor. This isn’t entirely unexpected due to the battery concerns and the handset’s much smaller 5.25 Whr battery. Furthermore, Apple says iPhone 4S has “up to seven times faster graphics” versus the advertised “nine times faster graphics” on the iPad 2 – another proof that the two device’s graphics processing units are not clocked equally....

In the photo above, you’ll see that the two phones share near identical dimensions, though the Nexus still manages to pack a larger 6.22-inch display space into the same body. The Nexus is actually a bit bigger than it looks in the photo, though the perspective makes it a little hard to tell....

Following Apple’s earnings report on Tuesday, several analyst groups have attempted to estimate Apple’s iPhone sales for the quarter. The latest is IHS, which has the most optimistic take we’ve seen so far in regards to iPhones shipments for fiscal Q2 2019.

That gives Apple a 14 percent share of the entire smartphone market, which IHS estimates shipped 323....

First up, iRobot has added a new type of command that allows Roombas to target a specific area for cleaning.

The company suggests this will be particularly useful for high-traffic zones that may get messy far quicker than their surrounding areas. For whole-room jobs, Alexa can now also create regular cleaning schedules using commands like “Alexa, tell Roomba to clean the living room every weekday at 1 pm,” or “Alexa, tell Braava to mop the bathroom every Saturday morning....

That’s an age that’s given new meaning to the clever caption engraved on the iPod touch in Apple’s marketing material: “You’re only as old as your playlist.” If Apple doesn’t plan on replacing the aging iPod touch hardware with a new model, we’re entering the point in its product life where it should probably be discontinued....

A friend contacted me yesterday to report that his iPhone was displaying the wrong stores for some of his recent Apple Pay transactions, and it seems he’s not alone in this … Andrew Poodle told me that a transaction actually made at a branch of the pharmaceutical chain Boots was listed as Soboro, an unrelated store next door. Another one made at supermarket Aldi showed up as St Neots Windows, a company across the other side of the street....

[This review of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia contains SPOILERS.] - A decade ago, even the most loyal and ardent supporters of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia couldn’t have predicted that the series would be finishing its 12th season in 2017. What’s even harder to fathom is that the diabolical sitcom centering on the most despicable band of ne’er-do-wells on television would have managed to keep things fresh and oh-so funny after all that time....
