Already looking to the next Apple news
Database, James Hein, Published on 17/02/2010
» Seems the feedback for the iPad has been a bit lukewarm. Some have described it as ''an iPhone having a mid-life crisis''. It is like the iPhone but without multitasking, no Flash and no wide screen video playback capability. The iPhone itself is still dong well but the new unit didn't live up to expectations. Some of the problem is the responsibilities Apple has. They need to keep their developers happy to minimise app rewriting. Then there are the shareholders who expect customers to be locked into the iTunes store for everything, hence there is no Flash and you will not be able to play Evony or Farmville on your iPad.

How to get around your ISP or country's restrictions
Database, James Hein, Published on 21/07/2010
» Internet control around the world seems to be settling out into a number of different camps. On the one hand there are the open Internet societies such as you might find in places like the United States. Next are those places that specifically restrict subject matter on a case by case basis if it causes some offence, like Qatar, Pakistan and Bangladesh. At the bottom of the stack or the restrictive nations that actively censor all manner of sources, like you may find in places like China and North Korea. Places like Thailand are not as free as the US but nowhere near as restrictive as China.

Success for the security-conscious
Database, James Hein, Published on 25/08/2010
» A bit over a week ago a free anti-virus app from DroidSecurity passed the 2.5 million download mark from Android users. This puts the utility in the top 50 most popular Android downloads. The reason this is news is because there have been no security threats in the form of malware aimed at the Android platform.

The app also includes some spam filtering for anti-text messaging instances.
