Charlie Miller won’t be defending his Pwn2Own hacking crown this year.
Miller, a Pwn2Own regular who makes headlines every year for his work breaking into fully patched Mac OS X machines, says he is skipping the contest this year because of the new rules that require on-the-spot writing of exploits.
Forget Super Tuesday. For technology enthusiasts, it’s all about what happens on Wednesday in Cupertino, Calif., where Apple is expected to unveil the next generation of its iPad.
The company is headed into its Wednesday media event with plenty of consumer anticipation for its next tablet computer, despite the fact that Apple hasn’t even confirmed that it is introducing a new iPad. The company’s media invitation said only: “We have something you really have to see. And touch.”
Reports are circulating that Google is developing a voice assistant technology that would rival Apple's Siri.
Google is reported to be working on a task-oriented voice technology, dubbed Google Assistant, according to TechCrunch, which cited unnamed sources. Google Assistant is reportedly slated to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
We’re still a long way from seeing Apple confirm the iPhone 5. Some say it’s going to be unveiled this summer at WWDC 12, while others are convinced the launch will occur at a special event in fall, just like the iPhone 4S.
And while the second scenario is indeed more probable, there’s one thing about the iPhone 5 we now know for sure - Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
A man bought what he thought was an iPhone in an electronics plaza in Zhengzhou. But when he found out it was fake, he grabbed a kitchen knife and went back to the plaza to find the seller. After coming back every day for several days unsuccessfully finding the seller, he found another group of counterfeit iPhone sellers, got into an argument and ending up stabbing one of them to death.
Apple's special media event—one that many believe to be for the next-generation iPad—is now mere days away. By this time next week, we'll know once and for all how many of those pesky pre-event rumors were true and which ones were made up by "optimistic" sources.
Because there are so many elements to consider for the as-yet-unannounced iPad, which is colloquially being referred to as the "iPad 3," we thought we'd round them up in one spot to talk about what seems most plausible.
The iOS App Store was created so that users could download and operate apps in a secure space. Theoretically, an application would not be able to execute malware on a device or purvey copyright infringing content. And all applications would pass under Apple‘s watchful eye.
However, developers who wish to bend the rules or try to defraud users of their money and sensitive information are finding new avenues by which to accomplish their goals.
The Apple rumor mill has mostly focused on the iPad as of late. If it hasn't been churning out report after report on the iPad 3, it's been chugging along on news of the Apple TV. However, today brings an Apple rumor of a different breed. According to Digitimes sources, Cupertino could be considering a 14-inch version of its super-skinny MacBook Air laptop.
Whoa there -- the iPad 3 is launching next week, we know that much, but a new Apple TV could be coming too.
Unfortunately it won't be the fabled TV set Apple is said to be working on, but rather its dinky set-top box. But still, should be quite a day.
Apple finally released an official invitation to the press regarding the much-anticipated launch of their newest iPad dubbed as iPad 3 on March 7.
