| Facebook rumored to be launching a ‘Find My Friends’ type app next month Posted: 05 Feb 2013 12:58 AM PST
It is thought that the new app will help Facebook to sell more ads based on a user's location and daily routines. While it is not uncommon for current Facebook users to check in and tell the world where they are at any chosen time, the thought of the app automatically updating that information for you and reporting your whereabouts to your friends at all times is something quite different. Of course if true, this will be an optional service and will only be activated if you choose to do so. Would you be happy to allow Facebook to know where you are at all times? Source: Bloomberg

| Taking the Vader-black iPhone to full-on Blackout! Posted: 04 Feb 2013 08:30 PM PST
When Apple first showed off the new, unibody slate and black iPhone 5, I referred to it as Vader black. I liked the look so much, I escalated it by going retro-black with my Lock screen and Home screen wallpapers. Then, when AnoStyle was announced, I immediately wanted to take it one step further. I wanted the Blackout look you see on high-end watches and cars. Problem was, AnoStyle didn't offer black anodization. Not yet, at least... So I bugged Ally and her Ano-Ninja accomplice, Rob, and volunteered to be test subject zero for their first-ever Blackout iPhone 5. They agreed, I bought a new phone for them to try it out on, and as you can see from the results above and below, they did not fail to delight. If you turn it into the sun or bright light, it looks like a normal black and slate iPhone 5, only several shades deeper and darker. If you turn it away from the sun, it's matte black as the emptiness of space. It's so black, only the slight difference in refraction of the Apple logo and iPhone lettering can be seen, darker or brighter, shadowed or gleaming across its back. If you hold the the blacker-than-Vader black iPhone next to a regular black and slate iPhone 5, the difference is immediately apparent. Above is a shot I took with a 5D Mark III and f/1.4 lens under Hue LED lighting. However, in normal use it's understated and subtle and almost no one will notice anything different about it all alone and at a glance. I love that, and more than one friend I showed it off to at Macworld|iWorld could only smile and mumble "damn" as well. Others may prefer being loud and colorful and shiny in red or blue or gold. I wanted something simple and pure and authentic and utterly capable of getting lost any and every time I leave it on a dark surface. I wanted stealth. And that's what I got. More: AnoStyle.

| Blue Microphone Nessie at Macworld|iWorld 2013 Posted: 04 Feb 2013 05:42 PM PST Blue makes legendary mics. That's according to Hillary Money, who spoke to us at Macworld|iWorld 2013. Their Yeti are frequently used by podcasters amateur and professional alike, and due to both those markets, Blue is amping things up yet again with the Nessie. Take everything you like about the Yeti, give is a sexy, serpentine new body, and add a ton of automagic-ness, and that's what you get. If you're new to microphones, the Nessie will do all the heavy-lifting for you. It's got a built-in shock mount to prevent rumbling trucks, appliances, or machines from introducing noise, and a built-in pop-filter to cancel out p-p-puffs of expiration. Nessie also automatically applies audio processing that's smart enough to adjust to what you're trying to record, giving your audio the same treatment auto-focus, auto-exposure video's been enjoying for years. There's also a raw audio option for pros, who know what they're putting in, and want complete control over what they're getting out. Combine that with a zero-latency headphone out for direct monitoring, volume, and an easy to get to mute button, and you have all the power of a supercar, with all the amenities of a luxury ride. It even has an articulated "neck" so you can position it just where you like it. It'll work with your iPad via USB to Lightning or USB to 30-pin Dock connector, or with your Mac or Windows PC. And it should be available sometime in the next few months. More: Blue

| How to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on iOS 6.0 or 6.1 with evasi0n Posted: 04 Feb 2013 12:33 PM PST
It's that time of year again, jailbreak time! The new evasi0n jailbreak is compatible with any device running iOS 6 or higher, including the just released iOS 6.1.

       Remember, after a large release jailbreak like this, you may experience issues with Cydia running slow. This is very typical of a new jailbreak since the servers get hit hard. If you can't update Cydia or access everything right away, it'll pass as soon as the initial rush is over, which will leave you to enjoy your jailbreak once again!

| How To Manage iCloud Storage & Backup on the iPad Posted: 04 Feb 2013 09:45 AM PST

| Skype for iPad Updated: Automatically Reconnects Dropped Calls & More Posted: 04 Feb 2013 07:55 AM PST
Skype for iPad, the iPad app for the hugely popular VOIP service, has been updated today, to Version 4.5. Here's the change list for this latest update:
Those first three new features all sound very good to me. Dropped calls are a relatively common event on Skype so automatic reconnects should hopefully help make them less painful. Being able to add money to a Skype account is handy too – as you always tend to see your...  Related Stories

| Three UK to offer LTE as standard when available later this year, no premium price plan needed Posted: 04 Feb 2013 02:12 AM PST
So if you are planning on switching to EE to get some of that LTE action, you may want to think again. Three will offer true unlimited access to its LTE services at prices that are way more competitive too. The only downside is when Three will be in a position to turn on LTE. The only information they're giving out is sometime this year; let's hope it is sooner rather than later. I personally can't wait, I have been a Three subscriber for a couple of years now and find their unlimited data offers excellent value for money and have no complaints on service either. Source: Three

UK network Three has announced that it will offer LTE on its network later this year and unlike other operators, there will be no premium for the service. Three UK announced that it plans to roll out LTE later this year on its 1800MHz spectrum which it acquired as part of the deal which gave EE (Everything Everywhere) a head start in the launch of LTE in the UK. Because EE has an exclusive, its deals are less than favourable to consumers with small data allowances at a premium price.| You are subscribed to email updates from iPad By Davis To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
