iPhone alarm glitch

xeonx8 — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:36:44 +0000

First of all a Happy new year to everyone. However due to the new year coming, some software glitches appeared as to the timing of clocks and alarms etc. The iPhone has yet a disturbing glitch which iPhone users has already experience during the new year of 2011 which should not have as software has been advance and being rectified during the Y2K bug. It seams that the iPhone has this glitch or so called bug within the iOS system that makes the iPhone unable to trigger the alarm set by the users and as a result had people miss their flight, appointment, etc. However while Apple is still looking into this problem, there is an alternative to this matter as to install 3rd party software or add another alarm and set it. Here’s how on the steps on creating another recurring alarm…..

First you have to tap clock.
Then you have to tap Edit.
Now you have to tap your alarm.
Now you have to tap Repeat.
Now you have to set a repeat interval.
Now tap save.

or users can download an app which is Clock Pro as a second alarm solution

however by 3rd January 2011 according to Engadget, It is one time alarms that are causing the problem, not repeats.

Hope this works as the issues is yet to be rectified.

Have a Happy New Year 2011 : )

Facebook hack: Firesheep

xeonx8 — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:37:44 +0000

There is an extension where Firefox can actually be used to steel “cookies” from another computer by using the extension called Firesheep. It steels cookies from another computer via unsecured wifi networks and uses it to login to other peoples account without needing to input the username and password.

Normally, when logging into a website you usually start by submitting your username and password. The server then checks to see if an account matching this information exists and replies back with a “cookie” which is used by your browser.

This leaves the cookie (and the user) vulnerable to the hijack. HTTP session hijacking also called “sidejacking” is when an attacker gets a hold of a user’s cookie, allowing them to do anything the user can do on a particular website. On an open wireless network, cookies are basically shouted through the air, making these attacks extremely easy. For more info visit : http://codebutler.com/firesheep/

WARNING!!! for your safety, don’t connect to an unsecured wireless network. Have a look at the video below:
