How to easily bypass iPhone 3G screen lock password

For all those who thought that the latest generation gadget would be less susceptible to security flaws. The iPhone has such a very simple way to By Pass and compromise on the Screen Protect lock.

Anyone can easily access all the iPhone’s functions without needing the password at all by following the simple steps below.

Lock your iPhone.
Now press of the “Emergency Call” key from the passcode entry screen.
Gently double-tap the home button.

Voila!! That's all it takes for anyone to get into your favourites, from which they can easily access the address book, from which they can get into the e-mail client (by tapping a contact’s e-mail address) or the browser (by tapping a URL) and you now know HOW PROTECTED your iPhone really is?

Seems like the engineers at Apple have miss judged the functionality of the Emergency Call feature and looks like the feature was there to help the crooks. I expect Apple to soon come out with a fix as it seems to be a simple programming mis-judgment. iPhone is already under fire from security experts for lacking important security features.

You can also tap the blue arrow next to a contact's name and you'll have full access to applications such as Safari, Maps, complete Contacts list, SMS, "complete" iPhone access, and Mail by accessing various entries on the Favorite's page, i.e. tapping their home page brings up Safari for a good browsing experience of the crooks at your expense.

I was thinking only BBMP (Bhruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Pallike - the Government agency that takes care of the infrastructure in Bangalore) was only lathergic - now looks like the private builders have taken a leaf from BBMP too.

BTW, did my IT Pals in these facilities go boating to work this morning?

Timex unveils the Nail Watch :: A revolutionary watch

It's time you are made aware of a simply superb and revolutionary watch from Timex - called the Nail Watch. Yes, it sits on your finger nails. This new watch will allow you to get the Time on your nails!!

There have been many different types of futuristic and concept watches with strange shapes and design from many manufacturers but none as unique as this. To begin with the Nail watch is a device that can be worn on the thumb. Till date you may have never seen a watch that can be worn on the thumb(anyone who told you so would have been considered dumb) but times are going to change thanks to Timex. Timex has collaborated with a leading design firm called Core77 to design this watch. The watch was showcased in a recently held global design competition called '2154: the future of time design'. BTW, the watch is code named as TX54 concept which was a runner up in the competetion.

Moving on to more details about its functionality. The watch sports a translucent body. The smooth flow design blends seamlessly with your nail while a selection of text color options and a glow feature activating on command make it supremely functional as well. You'll just have to press the end of your thumbnail and lo the watch will light up for you.

I feel it's a perfect blend of appearance, user interface, and technology - makes it a great package! Also, I feel that the nail watch passes most standards of modern design with flying colors thanks to its functional and minimalistic design. It's a watch that'll truly make a fashion statement and is also chic and has a touch of Geeky style as well. Well, the only downside of this watch is that it is disposable. Though it is quite innovative with a minimalistic build and design, but it won't last long on your fingers.

As for now no official details about the availability neither the price of this watch has been released by Timex. But since it is tiny and disposable, I don't expect the price to be high either.

New Niko Bellic Artwork

Another great GTA IV fan artwork was released recently. This time it’s from a friend of Patrick Brown, whose amazing art creations we all admire so much, Bob Baxter. I’d say Bob did a very good job on his representation of Niko. The colors and shadows complement each other in every way, and a hint of humor completes this artwork perfectly. Those creative Australians just keep giving and giving. No doubt we’ll see more GTA artwork from Bob Baxter in future. Well done and hopefully we’ll see other main characters from GTA too!

Max Payne 3?

It’s not 100% confirmed, but apparently the next chapter in a long-dormant Max Payne series is currently in development by Rockstar Toronto. The very studio that’s responsible for the movie-inspired game The Warriors.

Max Payne was originally created by Remedy Entertainment, and debuted in 2001. Publisher Take-Two then purchased the property from Remedy and producer 3D Realms in 2002, with a Remedy-developed sequel following in 2003.

There are a lot of speculations and rumors on the web about Max Payne 3. Some sites can even offer an occasional remark or comment from people who one way or another involved with Max Payne, but that’s about it. The only information really know for now is that the game is currently in development. The studio owner Take-Two stays in the shadow for now, and they aren't releasing or confirming any information about the game.

The first Max Payne was a revolution in gaming world and generated endless amount of fans. Games don’t get any better than that, its smart narrative, audacious aesthetic and its perfect gameplay all come together in one solid game. It was simply amazing in every single way. Hopefully Max Payne 3 will astonish us the same way.

The question now isn’t IF Max Payne 3 will be release, but WHEN it will be released.

EXCLUSIVE: Newsifact investigation reveals Zimbabwe cover-up (PRESS-RELEASE).

An exclusive investigation by Newsifact has revealed stunning misinformation by the mainstream media about the African nation of Zimbabwe. In a year-long investigation, we interviewed hundreds of witnesses, looked at thousands of documents and followed numerous leads. Now, Newsifact can exclusively reveal that rather than the media lie of Zimbabwe as an impoverished, poor and broken nation, the country, in fact, has the largest number of dollar millionaires and also billionaires on Earth.

Our investigation has conclusively found that almost every single citizen of Zimbabwe is a dollar billionaire, so rich that they often carry around banknotes in carts. People are so rich, that the government can barely keep up with printing banknotes to accomodate their citizen's wealth, and shops too are almost empty as they struggle to satisfy consumer demand for more. Why have the mainstream media covered this up? Or did they just fail to do their homework?

We expect this news will be huge as it breaks across the world - another scoop from Newsifact.

Feed migration from FeedBurner to Google Feeds

As you maybe aware, the RSS feeds on this site are handled by FeedBurner from a long time now. A couple of months ago Google purchased FeedBurner and has begun to fully integrate the service into the mainstream Google Apps. Hence, I had an option to migrate into the newly created Google Feeds.

The migration of RSS feeds from FeedBurner to Google Feeds has been happening for this blog from the last couple of days. The folks at Google had communicated to me this morning that the migration was complete, but would take upto 24hrs for everything to be up and running. The new RSS feed for this blog is located at http://feedproxy.google.com/jsbi ,so the old FeedBurner url may retard gradually.

But looks like there are already a couple of issues after the migration like the ones I have listed below:

Updates via E-mail: I know that there is a sizeable number of folks who receive updates on this Blog via e-mail and it seems they may be facing small glitches. It seems that the FROM field of the mail isn't getting set properly by Google Feeds and it comes as Unknown. This may result in the e-mails being marked as SPAM by your mail server or the mail client. I will be taking up this matter with Google and hope this will be resolved soon. Till, then if you miss on the updates please head over to the website.

FeedCount :

This is the number that comes up below the Orange RSS icon. The image is provided at runtime by FeedBurner indicating the number of people hooked onto to the site via RSS Feeds. This number has been pretty healthy for a long time now. But suddenly there was a drastic fall in that number during the migration period and it seems to have been re-enforced back but to a lower number. I am not very sure if some of the reader's via RSS have been lost in the migration process or it was simply a technical glitch and things will be fine soon.

Also, there was a small line reading as "BY FEEDBURNER" below the numbers, which has been grayed out now. I guess it's gonna be changed to something like "BY GOOGLE FEEDS".

If any of you are facing any other issues, please keep me updated so that we can try to resolve the same at the earliest. Also, if you faced any migration issues during this period - let me know - I would be happy to hear.

Cheers!!
