Google Releases Chrome for iPhone and iPad

Finally, Google releases Google Chrome for iOS devices. For quite some time now, most iOS users were depending on Dolphin Browser and other fancy browsers that could compare to Chrome’s features. Now that the official is released, what do you think will it bring? Perhaps Safari will have to go now?

However, those who have tried out claims it’s not really Google Chrome but rather still the built-in OS because of this:

 

Google’s browser UI wrapped around the Webkit rendering engine

I haven’t tried it but about to download, it’s available in iTunes now so give it a try! Google Chrome - iTunes App Store

WordPress 3.4.1

Version 3.4.1 addressed some security issues and fixed 21 bugs. For more information, see the release notes.

Yes, apparently there’s another WordPress update out. So you should update your wordpress blogs now to stay secured. Also, don’t forget to make sure your wordpress files aren’t using chmod 777 for file permissions, it will mean lots of trouble because it makes your wordpress files vulnerable to nasty hackers.

To update, simply click the link at the upper part of your wordpress dashboard (wp-admin) and then you’re set! Make sure to back up too, just in case ;)

Wordpress Update 3.4.1

WordPress Update 3.4.1

Updating your wordpress site or blogs is essential because really, hackers take advantage of the bugs that are in the previous versions.

Microsoft Surface Tablet

Just yesterday,  Microsoft unveiled their first ever tablet which they call the Microsoft Surface Tablet. According to tech pros, it looks really sleek and something that can be compared to iPad however, it was also said that it will be on wifi only at the moment. Nevertheless, here are the specs. It comes in two versions.

Windows RT, light weight but with kick-ass specs.

  • 676g
  • 9.33 mm thick
  • 10.6″ ClearType HD DIsplay
  • 31.5 Wh battery
  • microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video
  • Office Home & Student 2013 RT, Touch Cover, Type Cover
  • 32 GB, 64 GB

 

 

Windows 8 Pro, almost same specs with Windows RT but a bit more “pro feel”

  • 903 g
  • 13.5 mm thick
  • 10.6″ ClearType Full HD Display
  • 42 Wh battery
  • microSDXC, USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort Video,
  • Touch Cover, Type Cover, Pen with Palm Block
  • 64 GB, 128 GB

 

Maybe after all, Windows/Microsoft stand a change against Android, Blackberry and Apple. My only theory is, they won’t succeed that quick as developers of apps and games are still glued to the said other two competitors.

Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1

I am so late to blog about this, but just a few hours ago, the untethered jailbreak for ios 5.1.1 was out! It doesn’t work on all devices I believe. I’m still thinking of upgrading or not. But anyway, so far here are the devices that it works for:

iPhone 4S
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPad (3rd gen)
iPad 2
iPad 1
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
Apple TV 2G

I guess it’s better to update to find out the new perks of the updated iOS version!
