If you thought your iPhone 3GS’ hardware encryption was safe, you better think again. Yes while many of us (including myself) have great faith and trust in Apple and their OS developers, what we’ve found on YouTube completely shatters our minds on the definition of safe security. The quick video below shows you how vulnerable the iPhone can be at times when Apple tells you that there is nothing to be worried about. Removing the passcode PIN and backup encryption from the iPhone is actually easy-peasy!
Automakers are always constantly brainstorming for new ideas, these also include robots. Like Honda’s ASIMO robot, Toyota’s new humanoid prototype hopes to portrait us and the functions and capabilities which we take for granted in our everyday lives. Toyota’s new humanoid stands 130cm tall and weighs 50Kg, its legs have seven degrees of freedom allowing it to run at an average speed of 7 km/h. In contrast, their rival – ASIMO’s maximum speed is only 6km/h. In order to achieve this, Toyota researchers had to develop new real-time methods for balance control. These methods make it possible for the robot to remain balanced when an external force (for example, when a 100m race gets dirty!) is applied while it is in motion.
Settle down, this is by no means an official release. In fact this is merely just a concept, a thought of what a MacBook tablet computer could look like. While the MacBook Touch tablet concept by Isamu Sanada from Japan doesn’t come with any specs (leave that to your imagination), I’m not absolutely sure whether I would like to see the iPhone OS running on a tablet version of the MacBook. This makes it feel like a supersized iPhone, why not go for Mac OS X instead?
Gadgets that aim to enable and enhance gaming experiences are increasingly becoming more popular. The world of gaming has had its share of HD needs. With vastly improved graphics and video rendering, it seems apparent that the need for complimenting peripherals such as mice and surfaces come out with their own line of high definition peripherals.
This is so much more easier than many other smartphones currently available. Remember, the key is USB mode! Check out the quick tips video by Brian from CNET:
We’ve just received this helpful infographic from Sony which describes a very common question nowadays – what’s the difference between LCD and LED tvs? Even as gadget geeks, we sometimes forget the core facts about these things so this quick reminder below is definitely a good reference for anyone who’s in the middle of choosing their next telly set. Remember, the key difference lies in the backend!
