Security flaw for ipad 2
First Siri starts doling out personal info when your phone is supposed to be locked, and now an even bigger security oversight has been discovered in iOS5 for iPad 2 owners.
Anyone with a Smart Cover can get into your iPad 2, reports 9to5Mac, even if youve been careful and locked it with a password. That sound you hear is a thousand Apple programmers facepalming at once.
Heres how it works: if youve locked your iPad 2 with a password, just hold the Power button to take the device to the power down page, but dont slide the bar to shut it down. Instead, pull the Smart Cover over the screen, open it up again, and click Cancel, and youll be taken to the homepage, or last web page or app you were using when you locked the device.
Bad news, especially if you lose your iPad after locking it with a confidential message open.
Whoever uses the Smart Cover wont have full access to your device, as they wont be able to unlock it, but they will be able to use the program you were last using, or if on the homepage, play media and adjust settings.
However, there is a solution. Go to Settings>General and disable Smart Cover Unlocking, and you should be fine. Its only a temporary get out though, so lets hope Apple has a proper fix on the way.
On Thursday it was revealed Siri can be told to carry out actions on your behalf by anyone while the handset is locked. Just hold down the Home button and start speaking, and itll do as you say -- send a text, email, anything. Not very secure, though again you can disable it in the Settings.
What do you think of iOS5s security? Flawed, or tighter than Fort Knox? Or somewhere in between?

Smarter Stand for iPhone 5 Review Price and Release Details
Apple is top most electronic gadget brand. Its iPad and iPhone in this segment. Last year, smarter stand for ipad has been launched. This time, Smarter Stand for i-phone 5 has been launched. Kickstarter follows up smarter stand for iphone 5. As previous smarter stand for ipad has rocked the world with the ability to hold the iPad at many different angles same as this stand for iPhone 5 help in such a manner. It not only helps in better movement of iphone 5 but also keeps your ear phone untie.
Brief look on Smarter Stand for iPhone 5-
The design and overall apparel of this smarter stand for iPhone 5 is quite dazing and unique. The stand is flexible and light which sorted out the problem of breaking and carrying in the pocket.
Talking about its main feature as stand purpose, actually it fails to impress in this department but rather than that failure it has some positive aspects as it is great earbud detangler. By the way you will have to plug your headphones into iPhone if you want to use it as a stand, because it uses the jack as support. Also, the stand is not friendly with other brand headphones, it was specifically meant for Apple products.
The stand is made up of thermoplastic polyurethane that provides rubbery touch and enough firmness. There are some issues like, the stand unable to support the lightest pressure of hand while applying on iPhone. The stand falls whenever you lightly press either home button or swipe iPhone screen. It cannot grasp the bulk of iPhone and external incentives.
One thing I really like about this stand is that you can easily pull out or insert your headphones bud at the center-top of stand which makes better utilization of space and design. Also, the two forks at both the end of smarter stand makes your headphone wrapping easily and properly with any tangling issue of wires. But remember that, not to wrap it tightly as it may broke the stand or cords.
The bundle of smarter stand comes with a stand and headphone binder. The Kickstarter campaign has been closed this 10, April and they are happy with their overall journey. However the campaign has been closed and you can now only pre-order order this smarter stand for iphone 5 through online.
Price: - $9 +$3(shipping charge).
AMD Bridge both x86 and ARM Processors for Data Center
AMD Changes Compute Landscape as the First to Bridge Both x86 and ARM Processors for the Data Center
Company to Complement x86-based Offerings with New Processors Based on ARM 64-bit Technology, Starting with Server Market
SUNNYVALE, Calif. —10/29/2012 In a bold strategic move, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced that it will design 64-bit ARM® technology-based processors in addition to its x86 processors for multiple markets, starting with cloud and data center servers. AMD’s first ARM technology-based processor will be a highly-integrated, 64-bit multicore System-on-a-Chip (SoC) optimized for the dense, energy-efficient servers that now dominate the largest data centers and power the modern computing experience. The first ARM technology-based AMD Opteron™ processor is targeted for production in 2014 and will integrate the AMD SeaMicro Freedom™ supercompute fabric, the industry’s premier high-performance fabric.
AMD’s new design initiative addresses the growing demand to deliver better performance-per-watt for dense cloud computing solutions. Just as AMD introduced the industry’s first mainstream 64-bit x86 server solution with the AMD Opteron processor in 2003, AMD will be the only processor provider bridging the x86 and 64-bit ARM ecosystems to enable new levels of flexibility and drive optimal performance and power-efficiency for a range of enterprise workloads.
“AMD led the data center transition to mainstream 64-bit computing with AMD64, and with our ambidextrous strategy we will again lead the next major industry inflection point by driving the widespread adoption of energy-efficient 64-bit server processors based on both the x86 and ARM architectures,” said Rory Read, president and chief executive officer, AMD. “Through our collaboration with ARM, we are building on AMD’s rich IP portfolio, including our deep 64-bit processor knowledge and industry-leading AMD SeaMicro Freedom supercompute fabric, to offer the most flexible and complete processing solutions for the modern data center.”
“The industry needs to continuously innovate across markets to meet customers’ ever-increasing demands, and ARM and our partners are enabling increasingly energy-efficient computing solutions to address these needs,” said Warren East, chief executive officer, ARM. “By collaborating with ARM, AMD is able to leverage its extraordinary portfolio of IP, including its AMD Freedom supercompute fabric, with ARM 64-bit processor cores to build solutions that deliver on this demand and transform the industry.”
The explosion of the data center has brought with it an opportunity to optimize compute with vastly different solutions. AMD is providing a compute ecosystem filled with choice, offering solutions based on AMD Opteron x86 CPUs, new server-class Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) that leverage Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA), and new 64-bit ARM-based solutions.
This strategic partnership with ARM represents the next phase of AMD’s strategy to drive ambidextrous solutions in emerging mega data center solutions. In March, AMD announced the acquisition of SeaMicro, the leader in high-density, energy-efficient servers. With this announcement, AMD will integrate the AMD SeaMicro Freedom fabric across its leadership AMD Opteron x86- and ARM technology-based processors that will enable hundreds, or even thousands of processor clusters to be linked together to provide the most energy-efficient solutions.
“Over the past decade the computer industry has coalesced around two high-volume processor architectures – x86 for personal computers and servers, and ARM for mobile devices,” observed Nathan Brookwood, research fellow at Insight 64. “Over the next decade, the purveyors of these established architectures will each seek to extend their presence into market segments dominated by the other. The path on which AMD has now embarked will allow it to offer products based on both x86 and ARM architectures, a capability no other semiconductor manufacturer can likely match.”
At an event hosted by AMD in San Francisco, representatives from Amazon, Dell, Facebook and Red Hat participated in a panel discussion on opportunities created by ARM server solutions from AMD. A replay of the event can be found here as of 5 p.m. PDT, Oct. 29
Supporting Quotes from Industry Leaders
Dell“With its planned 64-bit ARM solutions, AMD brings the experience of a proven enterprise CPU provider to the ARM ecosystem," said Jimmy Pike, vice president and senior fellow of the Dell Data Center Solutions group. "ARM has the promise of being a serious player in areas like web front-end servers and as a worker node in a Hadoop environment. AMDs opportunity is to deliver serious value in performance-per-dollar and performance-per watt-where low-power server platforms running massively scale out workloads can shine. The availability of 64-bit ARM solutions is an essential milestone needed to accelerate enterprise adoption of this technology.”
HP
“In order to handle evolving workloads, business demands and the information explosion, enterprises are looking for flexible compute solutions that drive optimal performance and reduced energy consumption,” said Paul Santeler, vice president and general manager, Hyperscale Business Unit, Industry Standard Servers and Software, HP. "As part of HPs Pathfinder Program, AMD and HP are continuing their decade-long relationship to innovate power-efficient computing with the development of a rich ecosystem of highly energy-efficient, dense server technology.”
Red Hat
“The ecosystem for hyperscale computing is starting to take shape as workloads quickly evolve. Red Hat and AMD have been at the forefront of this movement, and today we are announcing our collaboration efforts to support the next-generation ARM-powered 64-bit architecture, ARMv8,” said Jon Masters, Chief ARM Architect, Red Hat. “This is only the first step, and we’re excited about sharing our enterprise Linux expertise with AMD and the ecosystem as they are striving to become a disruptive force for choice in the emerging ARM-based server market. As part of this effort, Red Hat’s ARM team is looking forward to supporting AMD’s processors in a future release of Fedora, our community-powered Linux distribution.”
