iPhone security alert: your lock screen can be bypassed!

/in ,

This YouTube Video shows how you can bypass the iPhone lock screen to make calls and list contacts. You can even browse photos if you attempt to add a photo to a contact.

While you can’t run any apps or do anything other than work with contacts or make phone calls, the facts is that anyone who watches this video can unlock a part of your iPhone without knowing your passcode.

I’m sure Apple will have a fix soon but until then, don’t let that phone go to the wrong hands!

Here’s the tree:

Google Launches Nexus Trio today

/in

Today Google launched the Nexus 10 inch tablet, the Nexus 4 Phone, and and updated Nexus 7 tablet.

The 3 Nexus Devices

I was personally waiting for the Nexus 4 phone but right off the bat its lack of LTE speed is an immediate deal-killer for me and that’s a bummer because it looks like a nice phone.

The tablets are interesting though I’m not sure they are competitive with Apple’s iPads at “only” $100 less. Why would someone not spend the extra money on an iPad and get the most popular device with the most apps?

However, if you love Google (like I do) and not so enthused about Apple (while I do buy Apple hardware I run Google software on it), these are worth a closer look.

I do wish, though, that there was a Google Store I could go to and get hands-on with these devices.
