: Apple to Hold Product Event on January 27 |
|
 |
 |
|
The invitation to the January 27 event, sent out to the media
Monday, doesn't specify what will be announced. But for those who like
to read the company's tea leav es, the e-mailed invitation could be telling.
The
e-mail reads "Come see our latest creation," with the Apple logo
superimposed on a background of paint splotches. Apple's invitations
usually include some clue as to what the event will be about--the invite to last fall's iPod-only event,
for example, featured a silhouetted iPod dancer with the words "It's
only rock and roll, but we like it." The fact that this latest
invitation doesn't reference any existing products will only fuel the
speculation that Apple has something new up its sleeve--and that
something could be the tablet-based computer of myth, legend, and song.
Apple
will hold its event at 10 a.m. PT on January 27 in the Yerba Buena
Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. Macworld will be on hand
at the event to tell you every last detail.
Long Time Coming
Tablet rumors have been heating up for some time now, but speculation reached a boiling point last month. An ex-Google executive said that Apple would unveil a tablet in January, and The Financial Times reported that Apple had booked space at the Yerba Buena Center for a product unveiling. (Of course, the Financial Times originally reported that the event would be held January 26--one day off, as it turns out.)
Apple's competitors seem to think a tablet is in the works as well. At this month's CES, Microsoft honcho Steve Ballmer showed off a prototype of HP's touchscreen tablet PC, a move many CES attendees saw as an effort to steal some of Apple's tablet thunder.

: Security : New iPhone hack |
|
|
|
|
Computer security experts are presenting a new security hole in the Apple (AAPL) iPhone that could be used by malicious hackers to spread a computer virus targeting smartphones.
According to website QuickPWN,
cybersecurity researcher Charles Miller discovered an SMS hack six
weeks ago and reported it to Apple, which has yet to respond to the
threat. Miller and cybersecurity researcher Collin Mulliner will
explain their iPhone SMS attack today at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas.
The concern is that once the technique is revealed, it may be used by
others with malicious intent. The virus would come in the form of a
text message, or SMS message, which stands for short message service.
The text will contain a single square character, reports say. If you
were to receive such a text, turn off your iPhone by holding down the
home and power buttons and slide the red arrow across on the screen, or
switch the iPhone into airplane mode.
"This is serious. The only thing you can do to
prevent it is turn off your phone," said Miller, according to Reuters.
"Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world with
this."
A virus message would likely come from someone whose number you'd
recognize because the attacker would need to know your number in order
to access your phone, QuickPWN reported. Once a hacker accesses your
phone, he can control it remotely.
Other flaws in the iPhone's security were recently revealed as
forensics expert Jonathan Zdziarski was able to get beyond the iPhone
3GS's pass code PIN and backup encryption with relative ease, the International Business Times reported today.
This is the first iPhone virus that we're aware of at DailyFinance.
If successfully unleashed, it would be a major blow to Apple, which has
for years touted its superior security as a major strong point in the
battle against Windows machines. As a top selling cell phone since its
release two-years ago, a security flaw or series of issues for the
iPhone could undermine the trust Apple has built with its customers.
Folks at Apple press relations did not return DailyFinance's calls for comment.
