Twitter Under Hackers Attack

Leave a reply

Twitter

Twitter admitted recently in a micro-blog post that they found some unusual access patterns on some user accounts. In retaliation they withdrew access from all suspicious accounts as the anonymous hackers might have stolen user data and personal information from their accounts. These compromised accounts are around 250,000 in number.

Although Twitter mentioned the two large scale attacks on Wall Street Journal and New York Times but like the two giant news providing companies, Twitter did not say anything about the nature of cyber-attacks on Twitter.

“This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident,” Twitter said. “The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked.”

It really is the time for you to change your twitter account password. If you are one of those account holders, whose account has been compromised by Twitter, then you will receive an email from them asking you to reset your password. If you have more accounts using the same email address and same password combination, you need to change them as well to be altogether secure.

Not only Twitter but you should change passwords to all your important accounts due to a large scale of cyber-attacks are happening out there and you never know where the next attack will be.

Apple iPad 128 GB

Till yesterday it seemed like another rumor that Apple is launching a 128GB iPad but the rumor has turned into reality as Apple has officially confirmed that they are releasing the iPad 128GB.

There is no difference between the shape of 128GB Apple iPad and the one currently in the market. The only difference is the storage capacity of the new device. The fourth-generation Apple iPad currently available in the market contains 16GB, 32GB and at maximum 64GB of storage capacity.

Philip Schiller who is the Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said that “With twice the storage capacity and an unparalleled selection of over 300,000 native iPad apps, enterprises, educators and artists have even more reasons to use iPad for all their business and personal needs,”

It is easy to judge that Apple is planning to make a lot of money with this popular product of theirs as the prices for the device are substantially high. Wi-Fi only model will cost you 799 dollars apiece. On the other hand Wi-Fi and LTE model will cost you 929 dollars each. These prices will make this tablet one of the most expensive tablet devices in the market. The availability date of the device as announced by Apple is February the 5th.

 

 

 

 

“Infinite Street View” by Noah Veltman

Noah Veltman

If you know what place do you want to check in Google map or even sometimes you don’t know the exact location, you can still trace it down in Google maps. Isn’t it a great tool by Google? It certainly is. But it the street view of Google is rather restricted and it will force you to keep travelling down a straight path along the street on the map. Now we have another improved discovery for the Google Street View developed by the web developer Noah Veltman. You need to specify an area and its radius. Infinite Street View will show you a huge number of images in the street view format. The radius you can select is between 0.5 and 10 miles. You can scroll down and a random selection of the streets in that radius will appear in front of you. The developer of the website Noah Veltman intends to include an option of “two blocks” in near future.

Although it is not the best possible way of exploring an area, but it certainly can tell you a lot about an area in very less time as compared to Google maps street view. You can get the taste of an area and tell the character of the area.

BlackBerry released Q10 and Z10

BlackBerry Q10 Front

BlackBerry Q10 Back

 

BlackBerry Z10

Research In Motion also known as BlackBerry now, finally revealed two new phones. Remember this is after a long delay that RIM has released new phones. Both of these new phones are operated by BlackBerry 10 system. Q10 and Z10 are the new phones. Q10 contains a physical keyboard. On the other hand Z10 contains a touch-screen keyboard. Z10 has a 4.2 in or 10.7 cm touchscreen while Q10 boasts 3.1 in or 7.9 cm screen and a physical keyboard. UK’s market will be the first where Z10 will be released on Thursday.

RIM also revealed that the company name is now BlackBerry. The primary reason for that is to manage a single brand rather than two.

RIM’s system 10 has been retouched in order to comply with the multimedia and touch-screen demands of today. Many are trying to figure out an answer for the question that is it too late for BlackBerry to keep up with the pace of technology. Apple and Android running devices are very much in trend these days. Can BlackBerry make it up to the mark with current trends?

In New York, the ceremony was hosted by CEO of the company. A live video of Thorsten Heins’s appearance was shown simultaneously at Toronto, London, Paris, Dubai, Johannesburg, New Delhi and Jakarta.

Let us remind you that the company announced that BlackBerry 10 would be released in the market by early 2012. It never happened as the company decided to push the date further to late 2012. They never released it in 2012 and now it is released in early 2013. Unfortunately they missed the Christmas and holiday season across the globe. Although the company was showing prototypes but this event on Wednesday was the first time that the company revealed a complete product. Pricing, when and where this device will be available were also disclosed. It is a common thinking among the business circles that BlackBerry 10’s success is really necessary if the company is to survive.

There are a few features that the company promises will improve in BlackBerry 10. These features include speed of the device, typing experience and maintaining two identities on the same phone. It will be possible for the same person to keep both identities separate on a single phone. It is good news for BlackBerry that their software is having a positive feedback on technology blogs. Although the market is taken over by Apple’s Iphone, Samsung’s Galaxy S-III and some others, but still financial analysts presumes that BlackBerry still have a slight chance of a comeback. BlackBerry can avail the opportunity by concentrating on the ever growing market of smartphones. They necessarily do not need to target those customers who already are using Iphones or other smartphones.

Interesting Rumors You Might Want to Know About iPhone 6

iPhone 6 Concept

The newest update on Apple phones is now here with their iPhone 6 rumors of release. Anybody would think that you hear false information since iPhone 5 is still fresh in the market but this next Smartphone from Apple is packed with all the applications and more on its thinner display plus higher resolutions that can compete with the latest Smartphones from Samsung and HTC.

Reported Specifications

There are several reports saying that the new Apple phone has an IGZO screen with a 4.8 inches Retina from Sharp. This makes iPhone 6 slimmer, brighter, and clearer because of the high definition resolutions. According to reports on the new Apple phone, the iPhone 6 has various screen sizes and different colors. It has an A7 processor that is much more efficient and faster than any other Apple phone. The best feature you should anticipate on the iPhone 6 is the sonar sensors that will replace the infrared type of sensors. Continue reading →

Samsung Galaxy S4 Specs Detailed

The news is that Samsung is expected to release Galaxy S4 by late February or early March 2013. Like the release of Samsung Galaxy S3 which was unarguably the biggest Android release of 2012 with a sale of over 30 Million units, Galaxy S4 seems to be matching the same for the year 2013. Quite few positive changes are anticipated.

Galaxy S4 Screen

According to the news leaked on a Korean news website the presumption is that Samsung Galaxy S4 will pack in a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch which is even better than the ‘Retina Display’ used by Apple’s iPhone 5 at 326 PPI with a size of 4.99-inch full HD Super AMOLED display. It is needless to say that Samsung is about to bring smartphone video revolution with this unique effort.

Galaxy S4 Processor

Secondly Galaxy S4 will come having the Exynos 5450 processor and that will be based on the Cortex A15 architecture. Here is the best bit because it will be clocked at a stunning 2.0GHz. The Samsung Galaxy S3 boasts the Exynos 4412 quad-core processor, and this clocks in at a cool 1.6GHz, so to have 2.0GHz would be more than wonderful to experience. Exynos 5450 by far is the most powerful processor any smartphone has.

Galaxy S4 RAM

The new SGS4 could possibly come having 3GB of RAM and this is not really going above its potential, this could be what we call realistic in terms of specs because Galaxy S3 already has 1GB of RAM and to support all the new features Samsung is putting into the new S4, one can imagine that the RAM needs to be improved substantially for the optimum performance of the new device.

Galaxy S4 Camera and Android Version

Finally, the phone is said to include a high-resolution 13 megapixel camera on the rear, which will include a powerful autofocus system and the ability to capture Full HD video as well as high-resolution stills. Support for the new 360-degree panorama mode introduced in Android 4.2 ‘Jelly Bean’ also seems likely, as does a high dynamic range (HDR) shooting mode – something seen in an increasing number of smartphones. A higher amount of megapixels will make it more challenging for Samsung to have the handset perform well in low light conditions, since pixels get smaller and noise gets in easier in those conditions. This 13-megapixel sensor was originally planned for the Galaxy S3 and second-generation Galaxy Note, but when the time came to release the two devices, Samsung chose to stick with an 8-megapixel sensor for efficiency. A 13-megapixel shooter would be capable of capturing images with 4208 x 3120 resolutions. This camera would require more processing power and extra RAM if Samsung were to include it on the fourth-generation Galaxy S.

The thickness of the device is also claimed to be reduced, with Samsung rumoured to be using a next-generation memory chip it has developed with a far thinner profile than its current-generation parts.
