SD Tabletwear iPad 2 / iPad 3 LuxFolio Case [REVIEW]

The moment I received my new iPad I was in awe. This is the device I’ve dreamed about since seeing the handheld tablets on Start Trek:TNG when I was a kid. As beautiful as the naked iPad is, having upgraded from the iPad 1 I’m very aware of how easy it is to scrape, dent [...]

1 and 1 iOS Apps sloppy coding allows domain theft and email hijacking

In many ways this is much worse than the LinkedIn and Facebook Plist vulnerability exposed last week. Both social apps exposed plain text OAuth Tokens which enable a large amount of personal information to be snaffled from accounts, and in the case of Facebook, access any website or application you’ve authorised via Facebook. What makes [...]

Using iOS Keychain for Data Protection and Migration

Given the number of requests I’m currently recieving re using the keychain following my post regarding the use of plain text credientials in plists I’ve decided to reprint an excellent series of articles from Use Your Loaf which helped me get to grips with Keychain access and permissions. Hope this helps out! Remember for maximum [...]

AgileBits 1Password Updated OAuth Tokens Moved to Keychain

1Password, a cross platform passwords management solution by Agile Bits snatched the crown for the first app developers to publicly test their own iOS app, own up to having, and subsequently fix the plist vulnerability discussed on my April 3rd Post Re Facebook Credential Theft Not only is their blog post oozing with professionalism and [...]

LinkedIn also Vulnerable to Plist Theft

[UPDATED] LinkedIn update on 26-4-2012 appears to resolve this vulnerability, though no statement or reference to the vulnerability has been made by LinkedIn. Still, they have fixed it, which is a heck of a lot more than Facebook has done! Further testing on popular social apps has revealed that LinkedIn also suffers from the plist [...]

Facebook Plist Mobile Security Hole Allows Identity Theft [Updated]

I’ve made posts about various iOS games and the fact that developers, rather than encode add to keychain or save values in the binaries, choose to save those values in plain text plists. The majority of traffic to this site is to the pages relating to using these oversights for cheating in iOS games, but [...]

Scramble With Friends Cheats

A week ago I expressed my distaste with Zynga games charging to play games you had already purchased. In doing so, I showed how you could modify configuration files to bypass these charges and play free. Today I’m going to the same to scramble with friends. Scrabble with friends is a boggle type game just [...]

Orange 3G and Data Down Nationwide #orangefail

Orange can’t tell me when it’ll be back up. Check out http://orangefail.co.uk for live tweets to see when it comes back up. Use hashtag #orangefail in tweets (if you can get online to tweet) wifi ftw!

Voicemail “Hacking” isn’t new, it isn’t hard, isn’t clever

This is really starting to wind me up! There’s no hacking involved here at all. The voicemail “hack” is a well known shortcoming of cell voicemail services. When calling your voicemail number from your mobile your caller id is used to put you in the right mailbox, but if you call that voicemail number from [...]

OrangeFail.co.uk Orange 3G Outage Map Published

Throughout August Orange mobile cellular data suffered a huge loss in connectivity. Initial Orange Customer Service responses stated that outages were limited and service would resume shortly. It became quickly apparent from social network postings that the issue was not limited (unless one counts UK wide as limited). I set up http://orangefail.co.uk to raise awareness [...]

OrangeFail

After 3 days of Orange Data failures I’ve set up #OrangeFail at http://orangefail.co.uk to bring together the collective frustrations of our twitter users and hopefully give some idea of where there are still problems occurring. Remember to user hashtag #orangefail to appear on the site!

Simultaneous browser testing

Just a quick post as I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while and would like some quick feedback from other designers. As all web designers will tell you, it’s a pain in the proverbial to do any structured testing of sites in multiple browsers, noticing the nuances in each page as they render [...]

A Quick Look At The New BBC News iPhone and iPad Apps

The long awaited and much disputed BBC News application is available on your iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad free of charge via the Apple AppStore.
As you would expect from Auntie, I was quickly impressed with the overall user experience.
Those familiar with the Pulse news application will recognise the familiar carousel allowing a simple swipe to reveal other stories in each section.

Inception Movie Review – No Spoilers

Sadly it’s not often I feel the urge to post about a movie. In the case of Inception I find it hard not to. There is a good reason this film is seeing a lot of buzz in social media circle. Director Christopher Nolan made his name with the unforgettable Memento (no pun intended) though [...]

It’s almost here!

PFA say they’re busy [...]

Apple to recall iphone4? Stock Market thinks so

There’s been much controversy about Apples latest and ”greatest” mobile offering the iPhone 4. Users (I refuse to brand every Apple user a ‘fanboi’) all over the world have reported serious antenna attenuation fluctuations when bridging the two external antenna (Gray band around the phone), causing varying degrees of signal loss. Facing growing media coverage Apple has announced a media conference this Friday 16th July [...]
