AdThief malware found infecting 75,000 jailbroken devices
Security researcher Axelle Apvrille recently published a paper about AdThief, a malware aimed at hijacking ad revenue from a reportedly 75,000 infected devices. First discovered in March 2014, and also known as "spad," the malware, which comes disguised as a Cydia Substrate extension, was found to replace the publisher ID of publishers with the one of the malware creator, effectively attributing all ad revenue to him.
Apple working with Quanta to correct labor violations found in FLA report
Apple is once again being criticized for the behavior of one of its Asian supply chain partners. The Fair Labor Association (or FLA) has released a new report, auditing two factories operated by the company's partner Quanta, and it found quite a bit of non-compliance at both facilities.
The issues detailed in the report range from inappropriate recruitment fees, to extended overtime. In fact, the FLA found that 62% of Quanta employees at its Changshu plant failed to receive mandatory rest days at least once over a three-month period during the fourth quarter of 2012...
Apple adds Beats Music to ‘Apps Made by Apple’ section in App Store
Following its addition to the 'new user' prompt in the App Store earlier this week, Apple has added the Beats Music iOS client to the 'Apps Made by Apple' section of its digital storefront. The move comes just two weeks after the two companies made the acquisition official.
If you've never seen the section, you can find it in under the Quick Links portal of the App Store—either on the right-hand side of the desktop version, or the very bottom of the iPhone version. And it houses a number of Apple's iOS apps including iBooks, Podcasts, and Remote...
Poll: is ability to use iPhone 6 with one hand a priority to you?
Analysts and bloggers take it for granted that Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 6 employs smart desing in order to make it perfectly usable with just one hand.
Whether or not the handset adheres to Apple's supposedly “unwavering principle of one hand use,” as one analyst put it, is anyone's guess because no one's seen the phone yet.
Most people would agree that older 3.5-inch iPhones are perfectly suited for one-handed use.
And by making the 4-inch screen taller but not wider, Apple's made recent iPhones efficient enough for the vast majority of users for whom one-handed use is a priority.
But 4.7 inches is on a different level than 4 or 3.5 inches. Unless Apple pulled some dark magic tricks, not everyone may be able to hit the top left corner with their thumb.
In today's poll, we challenge you to focus on the conceivable usability issues with the upcoming iPhones stemming from their much-talked-about bigger screens.
So, is being able to use an iPhone 6 with one hand important to you? Cast your vote below and meet us in comments...
Apple adds more diversity to its Executive Profiles web page
Just three days after releasing its diversity report in which it was revealed that its employees are 55% of white and 70% male, Apple made an interesting move by adding five Vice Presidents to the Executive Profiles page on its website.
Of course, it could be the cynic in me believing that adding two women is just pure coincidence, but it's definitely a timely addition.
Is Clima a worthy stock Weather app replacement?
Though Apple's build-in Weather application has been upgraded over the years, the application still lacks notifications and an interesting interface. When looking for a replacement for the stock app, I came across Clima, a new design-focused weather app for iPhone. Read my full Clima review to see if it's a worthy Weather app replacement.
Fully reversible Lightning cable leaks in new photo
The USB Promoter Group in December of last year formally announced [press release] a brand new USB 3.1 Type-C specification.
We've gotten pretty excited by this development as the updated standard calls for much smaller, twice as fast cables with reversible connectors that can be inserted with either side facing up, much like Apple's own Lightning I/O.
We then heard these new cables and connectors would be arriving this summer. Sure enough, on Tuesday the group said USB Type-C connectors are now ready for production and available to PC and mobile device makers.
Coincidentally or not, Apple's upcoming iPhone 6 and new iPads may ship with an enhanced Lightning cable featuring a reversible connector on the USB side, according to a Chinese outlet which provided photos of the new cable...

TMZ passes this cheap Android clone off as iPhone 6 — and CNBC fell for it!
As per usual, there's no shortage of iPhone 6 clones. Virtually each and every one of them classes as a plasticky Chinese knock-off — though, quite frankly, some are in fact elaborate. Anyone can order an iPhone 6 clone online, with prices starting as low as $100.
It goes without saying that these laughable devices, based on a truckload of iPhone 6 rumors, typically run Android and sport a user interface skin that does a bad job mimicking iOS 7 aesthetics.
Though not fooling bloggers, the iPhone 6 clones have proved themselves too tempting a target for linkbait outlets such as TMZ. The infamous celebrity news and gossip website is now notoriously jumping on the opportunity to troll the nation by offering an Android-based iPhone 6 lookalike as the real thing.
And guess what? CNBC fell for it!
How iPhone 6 may be suited for one-handed use
Shortly after Apple released the iPhone 5s in September 2013, KGI Securities' Ming Chi-Kuo speculated that a future larger-screened iPhone won't go beyond five inches for Apple, in the analyst's own words, would be foolish to abandon its “unwavering principle of one hand use”.
A year earlier, Apple for the first time publicly articulated its philosophy in an iPhone 5 television commercial dubbed 'Thumb', which pictures a user comfortably operating the four-inch device using only their thumb.
So, what engineering and design feats might the handset employ in order to make it suitable for one-handed use? Read on for the full reveal...
Watch Apple’s boss Tim Cook getting ice bath to benefit ALS research
Yesterday, Apple's marketing honcho Phil Schiller undertook the Ice Bucket Challenge. In a tweet accompanied by a series of images showing himself dumping a bucket of ice water on his head at the beaches, Schiller called on Apple CEO Tim Cook to accept the challenge and also get doused, by tagging him in the post.
Sure enough, Cook rose to the occasion and had a bucket of ice water poured over his head by recording artist Michael Franti.
Even better, this all happened in front of company employees who earlier tonight gathered for Apple’s Diversity beer bash at 1 Infinite Loop headquarters. And in an even more peculiar move, the iPhone maker has documented this in a video posted to its official YouTube channel and included for your viewing pleasure right below the fold...
