A new virus, or more like a security breach, has been found. Like a previous Rickroll breach, this one uses the SSH in order to gain control of your iPhone. Unlike the Rickroll virus that only changed your wallpaper to a picture of Rick Astley, this one is actually trying to steal your personal information and banking passwords.
If you have jailbroken your iPhone you most likely have OpenSSH installed. OpenSSH allows you to view and edit the core files on your iPhone over a WiFi connection. It is highly recommended to change your password for this because every newly jailbroken iPhone with OpenSSH defaults to the password “alpine” for root directory access to your iPhone. I’m actually really surprised that it has taken this long for someone to come up with a virus to hit all the people that never change this password.
Here I will show you how to change it and protect your iPhone from intrusions. It is super easy and only takes a minute to change. Read the rest of this entry
Touch DJ is a completely new way to create stunning DJ mixes whenever you like. You can touch and feel your tracks, move around them, scratch them, EQ them, loop them, and mix them even without prelistening.
SPLIT MODE
As an alternative for the users who really need to prelisten to the tracks, Touch DJ also offers a second “Split” mode of mixing which requires the usage of a special L/R splitting adapter.
EXTRA FEATURES
Among extra features – LP filter FX for each track, vinyl Spin and Break effects, onboard sampler with 3 sample slots (accepts .WAV files) and the ability to record samples via the microphone. As a bonus, Touch DJ is shipped with 25 dance tracks provided by DanceMusicHub.com so that you will be able to start jamming away instantly.
IMPORTANT!
Currently it is impossibleto get the music from the iTunes music library. This is a technical restriction which cannot be resolved. Touch DJ uses its own MP3 library. To get your own music into Touch DJ: use Wi-Fi (slow) or companion programs (fast) available for PC (Win) and Mac OSX. Contact us at support@amidio.com if you need any help regarding getting your own music into Touch DJ.
Finally, there’s an app for that, blowing out your birthday candles! If you just can’t muster up the strength to blow out your own birthday candles, Qneo has developed an iPhone application that will do it for you. Don’t believe me, watch the video.
The developers say that you can use it to “blow out candles, herbs, and refresh your skin during hot summer nights.” I wonder how many candles you can extinguish before your speaker breaks from all the vibration. [iTunes App Store]
Sorry I haven’t been posting as often as I would like to but I’ve been hard at work building up the new site iPhoneZapps.net
The iTunes app store is extremely hard to find those hidden gem apps, but with iPhoneZapps.net I will make it extremely easy for you. Please keep checking back, it shouldn’t be too much longer. It will be a great place for you to share those hidden apps with others and interact with fellow iPhone owners.
If you watch CNN, you’ve probably seen iReports – videos submitted by users around the world about news events via the company’s citizen journalism website. The site played a key role in helping the network obtain footage during the Iran election crisis.
Now, YouTube is letting anyone launch their own iReport-type site through a program they’re calling YouTube Direct, which they describe as “a new tool that allows media organizations to request, review and rebroadcast YouTube clips directly from YouTube users.” Read the rest of this entry
Fact, maybe: Human beauty has nothing to do with subjective judgment, and everything to do with some obscure mathematical equation. Fact, definitely: There is an iPhone app based on this theory.
Designed by giant human baby Ed Nash, above, Fit or Fugly (Fit: Brit., informal: SEXXXY) judges your attractiveness based on the proportions of your face, processed from a photo and a little user input—to peg exactly where your nose, ears, eyes and mouth are. Does it work? As a tool for determining objective beauty, possibly. As a tool for planting tiny, fertile seeds of doubt about your attractiveness in your subconscious (and others’!), yeah, sure. A dollar, and you look beautiful today.
ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is.
Developed by the guys at Big In Japan, ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone’s camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much. Obviously, something like this is a window shopper’s dream. Read the rest of this entry
