New iPhone Speculation

The majority of my posts are and will be actually truth and known facts. My goal is to help educate people about computers and internet security. As well as helping to spread awareness about the internet because one it is fragile(which I will talk about in future posts.) but secondly it can also be dangerous.

My goal with this blog is to help give facts to the users however this post will not be following those guidelines. This post is all about iPhone speculation!

I myself have an iPhone 3gs..... Sadly my contract is up in a month and I still don't feel the need to upgrade. I know I know the iPhone 4 is awesome I fix them I have taken them apart I know... Trust me they are cool.. But they are not capable of doing the one thing they are almost advertised to do is run on a 4g network (that includes the Verizon version)

Ok above are facts below is speculation......


I believe that their will not be a new iPhone version this year for either AT&T or Verizon. I do believe that they will be releasing a white version of the iPhone 4. Below is my evidence.

1. They have not released any new iPhone OS to any developers. This is done in order for app developers to have plenty of time to flood the market new/updated apps to take advantages of any new feature/hardware updates. This is usually done 4-8 months before a new release is scheduled.

2. The number one supplier of iPhones is AT&T and they currently do not have a 4G network in place. As well as Verizon's 4G network does not really meet the (quasi technical non standard definition of 4G{There is no government standard guidelines for 4G network, anyone can say they are 4G in reality}). So why would Apple screw up a good thing. They know this phone will keep selling. And that when they release a new phone they will still sell just as well. So why rush until the network is actually in place giving them time to perfect the phone's antenna problems.
2.1 An AT&T and upgraded Verizon Network could finanly get to 4G speeds most likely sometime in the fall from what I have read. So that would put a good guess at a new iPhone probably around January 2012 a new iPhone 4GS .

3. An argument for a white iPhone, is because the manufacturer I deal with for parts has been selling iPhone 4 white conversion kits since January. These are the real deal. I have them as well as green,pink and red conversion kits. They look sharp.

That's my argument feel free to add any ideas.

Thanks for reading

Bluetooth & Your Security

One new way open to Hackers is Bluetooth.
For those that don't know Bluetooth is a wireless connection similar to Wi-Fi.

However it can make your computer extremely vulnerable to a person with the right knowledge.
This goes for GPS,Cell Phones and any other gadgets with Bluetooth.

Someone can take control of the device or even still information off of it.

In fact I believe this is most likely how a hacker published Paris Hilton's phone list on her phone.

So turn it off if your not using it that is the safest way to go.

If you can set a password do it and make it a tough one add numbers or a capital letters mixed with lower case.
But in some cases you can not add a password.

But a password still does not guarantee safety.

Having it turned off is the only way to keep the bluetooth portal shut to would-be hackers.

1 in 290 emails are malware

About 1 in 290 e-mails in February were malicious, making the month one of the most prolific periods for the threats, according to Symantec’s February 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report.

So think twice before you open an e-mail from someone you don't know.

If you still want to check it out, clear out your spam folder, then mark it as spam. Then find in the spam folder (only one if you cleared it before hand) and then open it.
In the majority of e-mail servers, usually disable html/java script in e-
mails. Which would disable any launch programs from an e-mail. However if you click anything in that e-mail it could take you to a website which you will NOT be protected.

Happy Browsing...
