Still happy with ur Toys R Us Iphone ..??

Not only the address book on the iPhone is outlawed, including all photographs and videos by faulty apps can be uploaded without permission to unknown servers. Apple was working on a fix.

Again fuss about privacy of the iPhone. Apps that ask for permission geolocation, get automatic access to all photos and videos stored on the device, and can then silently upload.
Photos outlawed

After previously showed that many apps without permission the entire address book of iPhone users upload to their servers. As with the book issue is also not unknown in this case developers. It is unclear whether any abuse actually is made of.

The New York Times had an app build PhotoSpy order to test the issue. The privacy vulnerability works as follows: Photos and videos shot with the iPhone geolocatiedata get along. If an app uses geolocation, first appears a clear neat popup to give consent.

  • Trial underway with initial batch of prototypes

Rolle, Switzerland, 16 January 2012: Nissan today announced the latest piece of must-have kit for the iPhone* – a ground-breaking self-healing iPhone case. The Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case features the brand’s pioneering self-healing paint finish, a world first in paint technology developed in 2005 and already used on a number of Nissan and Infiniti models. Now this ground-breaking technology has been applied to a product that’s prone to scratches through everyday use – the smartphone – with Nissan’s new Scratch Shield case meaning iPhone-lovers can keep their phone looking at its best for longer.

Developed by Nissan in collaboration with University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials Inc., the unique Scratch Shield paint finish was initially designed for automotive use and is available on the Nissan Murano, 370Z and X-Trail along with the Infiniti range of products.  Now, thanks to Nissan’s pioneering approach, this technology is being trialled for the first time on a non-automotive product in Europe, with the Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case.

Incorrect time setting could leak iOS 5 album picturesDecember 31, 2011 by Ade BarkahI always get a bit antsy about hacking researching vulnerabilities when I travel, and this time is no exception. Often I notice “glitches” or abnormalities which I want to investigate, but since I’m in the middle of riding my motorcycle from Canada to Argentina, infosec has been on the back burner.Recently I took advantage of great wi-fi in Costa Rica to finally upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. Double-clicking the home button now allows one to quickly access the Camera app even from a locked phone:The camera icon bottom-right is now accessible from a locked iPhoneSince the camera is locked, Camera app has a smart feature barring access to the iPhone’s album. You can only see pictures taken from the current locked session.As an aside, I thought I noticed a glitch whereby I could completely bypass the passcode lock, but turns out it’s just poor UI from Apple. There’s a state where the phone is locked but a passcode is not yet required, and the UI during this period can be misleading. I changed the passcode setting to “immediate” after that.
