Mail More Photos: Attach More Than 5 Photos to an Email

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 7, 2012

Beware! Fake Apple Billing Information Emails Circulating

by Oliver Haslam on Dec 28, 2011

When you are as big as Apple, bad guys will always seek to use you as a means to take people’s money, and unfortunately there is a new scam making the rounds.

According to The Mac Security Blog, the latest method of stealing people’s money comes courtesy of fake emails which purport to be from the iPhone maker, claiming that the user’s billing information is out of date. Obviously, the “helpful” email offers a link that gives the lucky recipient an easy way to make things right.

Of course, that link doesn’t take you to Apple’s billing pages, but rather a third party who wishes to steal your information… Read More

 

How to Add Sharing Options to Safari’s Reading List

by Jeff Benjamin on Nov 24, 2011

Reading List, the Instapaper-like feature included with iOS 5, is a great way to save web pages for reading later. But what if you want to share some of the content that you’ve saved to your reading list? What then?

Sadly, Apple has neglected to add any sort of sharing options to Reading List. Perhaps they’re saving the sharing features for a future iOS update. With that in mind, one developer in particular thought it would be a good idea to enable Reading List sharing by means of a handy jailbreak tweak, and that’s just what he did.

Take a gander at ActionList, a tweak that enables a variety of sharing options for Reading List…

New eBook Collects All of the Emails that Steve Jobs Sent Over the Years

by Alex Heath on Nov 23, 2011

iCloud Apple ID Security Flaw Plaguing Some Users

by Oliver Haslam on Nov 23, 2011

One of iOS 5′s marquee features is the ability to backup and restore devices from iCloud without the need for iTunes or any of those pesky wires. Let’s be frank, we’ve all got hundreds of those little white USB cables, but can we find one when we need it? We know we never can!

As is so often the case with such new and ambitious services as iCloud, it appears that the process is not without its problems, more specifically, problems surrounding a possible security risk.

According to Electronista, there appears to be a real issue that could potentially reveal the Apple IDs of random users… Read More

Sent is a Gmail App for iPhone that Gets Things Right, But Not Perfect

by Oliver Haslam on Nov 20, 2011

It seems like iOS Gmail apps are a little bit like London buses: you wait an hour for one, and then three come along at once. Two notable Gmail apps have entered the App Store as of late.

Gmail users rejoiced when Google finally brought an official Gmail app to the App Store, but after downloading the app, it was clear that the bug-laden effort wasn’t what it should be. Google pulled it and eventually made it available again after fixing some of the more glaring bugs. That said, it’s still not great, and is missing some features that we hope Google will eventually get around to adding.

A new app to join the Gmail fray goes by the name of “Sent,” and while it is indeed a more native experience than Google’s solution, the app doesn’t get everything right… Read More
