For those who do not password protect their phones, perhaps you might want to reconsider that course because thanks to a recently discovered iOS 7 bug, it basically allows someone who has access to your phone to not only delete your iCloud account, but also disable Find My iPhone which will essentially render Activation Lock moot.
Now Apple has thought about security before and has made it pretty complicated in order to delete or to disable certain features. However what this bug does is that it allows users to bypass certain password requirements in order to delete either the iCloud account or to disable the Find My iPhone feature. (more…)

It’s safe to say that datacenters, which tend to be pretty huge, require a lot of power to keep them operational. Not only is the power needed to keep the servers running, but it is also required to keep them extremely cool as well lest they overheat and cause a bunch of other problems.
As we know there are many ways to generate electricity either through the burning of coal, nuclear, or going green by using kinetic or solar energy, which is what companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google are doing, and according to Greenpeace, they found Apple to be the most environmentally friendly of the bunch.

Earlier today Amazon announced the Fire TV, a device that has long been rumored, which is basically their answer to other set top boxes like the Apple TV and Roku. In fact its asking price of $99 is on par with Apple’s own asking price of $99, making it a pretty credible competitor to the Apple TV.
So is this something Apple should be worried about? Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster certainly seems to think so and believes that the Fire TV is basically what the Apple TV should have been all along, and that he hopes with the launch of the Fire TV that Apple will finally start to do something about it.

Later this year, quite possibly in the second half, Apple is going to launch the iPhone 6. Rumor has it that this time around the company will again launch two models, if it keeps the current naming scheme, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6c. Customers have a lot of expectations, the biggest being increased display sizes. They might be impressed by what Apple puts before them, but Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster believes it will take a lot more to meet the expectations of major Wall Street investors.
