Is Apple playing Ispy?

Just about any film that has watched spy movies is familiar with authorities asking a person to produce papers proving they are not a spy. According to a report by Reuters yesterday the Russian government is asking a similar question of United States technology giant Apple and European software giant SAP. The reason for the question was to make sure the two companies were not carrying embedded codes that could make their software government spying tools.

“The revelations of Edward Snowden in 2013 and public statements of US intelligence to strengthen surveillance of Russia in 2014 raised the question seriously the confidence of foreign software and hardware,” said Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov . “It is obvious that those companies that disclose the source code of their programs, are not hiding anything, but those who do not intend to cooperate with Russia on this issue may have undeclared capabilities in their products.”

Some of you are probably asking “Why isn't Redmond-based Microsoft getting the same treatment?” The answer according to Mr. Nikiforov is that starting in 2003 the Redmond-based giant has been sharing all of their source with technology institute Atlas. Atlas then reports their finding to Russia government.

"Obviously, companies which disclose the source code of their programmes are not hiding anything, but those who do not intend to establish cooperation with Russia on this issue may have undeclared capabilities in their products," Nikiforov said.

With the except of open source that have an external revenue source, most companies kept their source codes a highly guarded secret. The reason for this is that the source code is what translates the software into basic machine language. Meaning that whoever has the source code has the power to modify the software. An good example is Linux since it is open-source there are dozens of variation of the software available.

T-Mobile offers a modified simple choice

When you are the number 4 cellular provider you are always looking for new ways to out do your competitors. If you can poke a little fun at them so much the better. That is just what John Legere, CEO of Bellevue-based T-Mobile, did yesterday when he announced that starting tomorrow, through September, customers can sign up for the newly modified simple choice plan.

“Leaving my office last week, I pulled alongside a bus covered with yet another ad for AT&T’s “Best-Ever Pricing” for families. These ads are everywhere. AT&T’s sinking some serious dough into marketing their latest-greatest family pricing, which strikes me as funny. Because their deal is no deal at all, and next to T-Mobile’s Simple Choice Family Plan, AT&T’s “Best-Ever Pricing for Families” is a joke,” Mr. Legere wrote in a blog post.

The AT&T “Best-Ever Pricing to Families”, Verizon's “Everything” and Sprint's “Framily” plans all cost $160 for a group of 4 compared to T-Mobile’s “Simple choice” that has a price tag of $100. The first three all come with unlimited talk & text compared to T-Mobile’s plan that also adds unlimited data. With AT&T and Verizon you do get 10GB of shared date on their plans but on Sprint they only include 1GB per line for a total of 4GB.

“It infuriates me that they’re selling this to hardworking families who could use that money for more important things.  And they have the nerve to call it “Best-Ever Pricing.”  I just couldn’t stand by without speaking up and calling them on their BS,” Mr. Legere wrote in the same blog post.

One thing that did seem a little confusing at first when looking at T-Mobile’s plan it says unlimited data but also advertises 10GB (2.5GB per line) of 4G data. Further reading cleared this up that they include 10GB at 4G and dial the data speed down to 3G speeds. This modified “Simple choice” will only last through next year.

Sprint and T-Mobile been in negotiations for a merger. According to Reuters the merger could happen in September possibly explaining why Mr. Legere chose that month as the cut off for customers to sign up for the modified plan.

Microsoft has 2 new Windows smartphones in the works

Earlier this month Redmond-based Microsoft's Nokia division released their Lumia 635 smartphone. While it was touted as a great low-end smartphone there was one big criticism about it not having a front-facing camera for 'selfies'. That flaw will not be repeated in the phone that Microsoft Executive Steven Elop has dubbed the “selfie phone”.

The Verge first reported on the smartphone codename “superman” back in April. There still isn't much know about the smartphone other then it will come with a 5MP (megapixel) front-facing camera for video chatting and taking all of those 'selfies'. The only other things that are know about the “selfie phone” are that it will have a large 4.7-inch display, running Windows 8.1, have the snapdragon 400 processor and an 8MP rear-facing camera. It has also been confirmed by wmpoweruser that this smartphone will be the successor to the Lumia 720.

According to an article this morning by the Verge the “selfie phone” is not the only smartphone the Redmond-based giant has planned for the summer. They will also have a more high-end offer that is codenamed 'tesla'. The telsa smartphone will feature Nokia's high-resolution PureView camera. Not much else is known about what we can expect from the 'tesla'. There have been some leaks of the Lumia 830 that could very well be the 'tesla'. If the the 'tesla' is the Lumia it appears to have a 4.5-inch screen.

Don't sleep with smartphones

In today's mobile society you cellular phones have become a necessity. We carry them everywhere we go all day so that we don't miss calls, can tweet our friends and take pictures. When we get home our obsession with our cellular phones continues going as far as taking them to bed with us were we often use them as our wake up alarm. One 13-year old girl in Texas found that sometimes to obsession get be dangerous when the smartphone she put under her pillow.

'I didn’t think much of it, so I went back to sleep and then I woke up again and it was more prominent,' Ariel Tolfree said.
When she lifted her pillow she was shocked to find that her smartphone had a meltdown that destroyed the phone and scorching the pillowcase and sheet where that came in contact with the device. Ariel showed her parents what happened. After they recovered their shock at the sight and what could have happened, the family contact Samsung about what took place. The person they spoke to at Samsung was quick to point out to them that the problem was likely the fault of the replacement third-party battery.

After talking to Samsung the Tolfree family took their stort to the local news station to let more people know about what could happen to anyone taking their phone to bed.

"The whole phone melted," her father, Thomas, told FOX 4 in Dallas. "The plastic, the glass. You can't even really tell it was a phone."

When the new station contacted Samsung they explained that they do put out a warning with every smartphone that warns against using third-party replacements and confining their smartphones in tight clothing on under pillows. Samsung also said that they felt bad for what happened and would replace the phone, mattress, sheets, pillowcase and pillow. They did ask the family to send them the melted remains of the phone so that they could fully investigate and figure out if their suspicions are correct or if they need to make any changes.

IPhone 6 rumors

On any given day the web is buxzzing with a new rumor about the next mobile device or technical advance. Of those rumor none grows faster then the speculation on what the next iPhone has in-store for us. It was just a few short months after the iPhone 5s was announced there were already rumors of what we can expect with the iPhone 6.

The rumors at the time were that we would be getting two iPhones that would have 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays. With new leaked part images it would seem that those rumors were indeed true and Apple will joining in the 'Phablet' age. It was the online blog MacRumor that first posted the leaked photos of the flex cable for two smartphones.

The rumor weren't just limited to the size of the iPhone(s). Earlier this week online newspaper The Gardian reported that the new iPhone(s) could come with a sapphire glass blend. In the article they talked to Prof Neil Alford of the department of materials at imperial College London. 18 months ago Apple had consulted with the professor.

“Apple has patents for both sapphire lamination – taking two different cuts of sapphire to induce strain and increase its resilience – and for fusing quartz or silica (glass) to sapphire,” Alford explained to the Guardian. “So they could certainly do that.”

According to gsmarena.com some of the other rumored features that we can expect are a 8MP primary camera and a secondary camera for video chatting. It will reportedly also run Apple's A8 dual-core 2GHz processor. Just like the previous iPhone it is expect to have 2GB of RAM and come in models with 16/32/64 and 128 GB of internal storage.

Kendrys Morales returns to Seattle

The Seattle Mariners had a great June seeing them build on their lead for the second wild card and closing in on the Los Angeles Angels. July though has been a different story seeing them struggle in the final few games going into the all-start break and the 6 games after the break. It has made us all wonder just how far they will slip before GM Jack Zduriencik made a deal to bring some pop to a line that has been struggling to get that clutch hit with runners on base.

Today, he finally made a move by bring back our top RBI producer from last year. Slitting time between first base & DH, for the Mariners, Kendrys Morales hit a respectable 277 with 23 homeruns and 80 RBIs. Mr. Morales is also switch-hitter giving the Mariners the much needed right-handed batter that we have been searching for this season.

The trade with the Minnesota Twins did cost us relief pitcher Stephen Pryor. Mr. Pryor did show some promise with the Mariners since he first arrived on the scene in 2012 with an ERA of under 3 in 34 games and 32 innings. Pryor has been rehabbing from surgery from an injury early on last season and has only made one appearance this year before being sent back to triple-A Tacoma. With the best bullpin in baseball it made Pryor expendable.

With the re-acquisition of Kendrys Morales it could make Justin Smoak, Logan Morrison of Corey Hart expendable. All three of those players have been struggling as of late batting 208, 211 and 212 respectfully. In the case of both Smoak and Morrison they have been above average in the field and have had some decent batting streaks With Hart time in the outfield has been limited with knee trouble but he did show some good pop as DH earlier this season. 

Stubhub hackers caught

On Wednesday authorities wrapped up an 8 month long investigation into a hacking attack on the popular ticket exchange site Stubhub. The international investigation resulted a total of 10 people in New York, London and Toronto. 6 of the 10 involved in the international ring were arranged in Manhattten.

“Today’s arrests and indictment connect a global network of hackers, identity thieves and money-launderers who victimized countless individuals,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance said at Wednesday’s news conference.

Stubhub was alerted to the attack in December of last year and quick contacted the authorities. The authorities sifted through over 1.000 customer accounts that were found to have been affect by the malicious scheme that stole information and made purchase that were estimate at $1.6 million or more. Some of the fraudulent purchases charge to the account were tickets to Jay Z and Elton John concerts, a New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game and Broadway shows like The Book of Mormon.

“It is important to note, there have been no intrusions into StubHub technical or financial systems,” spokesman Glenn Lehrman said.

Much the same as other attacks that have hit other retailers, restaurants and e-commerce sites the attack didn't break into the main server. It was instead an ambush attack where the perpetrators will place malware at the checkout were it will latch-on to customer's accounts as they would buy or sell their tickets. The malware can then burrow into that persons computer to retrieve passwords, credit card information and other account information.

According to Stubhub they have reimbursed all of the customers that were victimized in the attack. They also helped those customers change their passwords. They didn't say if they were providing any type of account monitoring.

Authorities advise that advise keeping a close watch on back statements and use monitoring services. Other precautions that are advisable to help prevent other such incidents are to have updated security software, such as, firewalls, anti-malware and account encryption.

Will Microsoft update Windows 8.1 next moth?

According to an unofficial source, we can expect to see a second update to Microsoft's Windows 8.1 operating system. The Russian website PCPortal.org.ru has the new update scheduled for an August 12, 2014 release. The leaked source was immediately picked up by both neowin and Redmondpie with mixed results on whether or not there is any truth in them.

The leaked information didn't have much information on what we can expect as far as enhancements to the operating system. The one thing we probably be sure of is that this update will not contain the start menu that we saw pictures of earlier this month. It will probably be more keyboard and cosmetic enhancements like the ones we were giving in the first update back in April of this year.

These recent leaks are not the first ones. Shortly after the first update a pirate group, WZOR, leaked information about a second update to be released in either August or September. Those leaks had the start menu as part of the update. In the same leaked report WZOR talks about Windows 9 having a more classical version of the “metro” interface and have some cloud-based features.

When Redmond-based Microsoft first released Windows 8 on October 26, 2012 it was not too well received by most users. There were several reasons ranging from navigation to lack of key features. The complaints did get back to Microsoft and since then they had been giving up periodic fixes starting with the Windows 8.1 upgrade that came out in October of last year.

According to a report by the next web, last month, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 still only accounted slightly more than 12% of Windows users. These numbers have been going up with each big update to the operating system.
