Google Chrome going iOS on iPhone, iPod & iPad soon

The famous Google chrome browser has took hearts of millions of people around the globe especially when Mozilla gained a lower rank than Chrome in a security based browser comparison that took place earlier. According to research analysts at Macquarie (USA) Equities Research, Google's Chrome browser will hit iPhone, iPod and iPad devices pretty soon.

The group further mentioned how this move could reduce the money Google pays to Apple for its' searches in their iOS Safari browsers. Such moves could prove drastic for the Safari browser only if users started transitioning to Chrome on iOS. But history proves that success of third party browsers on iOS are very limit. Reason? You cannot set them as your default browser and thanks to Apple, Safari will always be default. But this is just an assumption owing to what past has showed us.

It would be ironically stupid to think that Apple would let loose control on their smartphones. Currently Chrome's mobile version shows open desktop tab and you can expect that in Safari soon too as Apple won't let their users feel "something's missing!". Hence the odds of Google winning over Safari or being iOS's major browser are a 100 to 1.

Spy Gadget: Top Secret USB uses Wax Seal for Identification

In the dark ages of internet, long before 128 bit encryption was introduces, imprinted wax was used and identification was done on the basis of waxed symbols. The symbol was so unique that it could not be forged. Hence if mail was received with the same symbol intact, people considered it sealed, tampered free and unread.

This authentication method used has now reached USB keys. Today, unless your USB is encrypted, you cannot ensure if the USB key is tampered free. There are chances that some keylogger or other malicious software could have been encoded onto the USB drive.

Hence a porcelain USB key has been designed to accept the wax seal so one can make sure its tampered free if the seal is not broken. I call it a spy gadget now! Hence, once the USB is open, the seal physically breaks up. A mix of the past and present right? The key costs about $46 for the 2GB and $59 for the 8GB model. It 0is known as a TOP SECRET USB. What do you have to say about this gadget? Leave a comment below!

World's Most Unique uni-directional Speaker Arrives - Soundlazer Parametric [Review + Video]

Soundlazer parametric speaker is the world's most unique speaker which is not only open source and has a low cost but it is also hack friendly.

The speaker carry Sonic technology which allows audio to focus in one direction. This means that if there are hundred people sitting besides you and the speaker is focused towards your face, only you will hear the sound (if the voice is not reflected from any source).  This speaker was developed by Richard Haberkern. It uses pure ultrasonic carrier waves for sound transmission from a connected media (iPhone, MP3 player) to a listener.

Haberkern gained inspiration to create this product since he had his keep interests in sonic experiments which were undertaken by various companies. He began his work on Soundlazer system a few years back which involved various tweaking phases until it was ready earlier this year for public production. Kickstarter was used as a base for funding by Haberkern and finally he gained more than his expected target of US $48,000 while the deal has still a week to go on Kickstarter.

Haberkern declares the speakers as problem free for prolong audio hearing if the recipient maintains a distance of 5 feet at least. The basic kits with fully functional boards, power supply and audio cable are being given to those who have dumped in at least $175 for Haberkern's product.

And if a user had backed more than $499, he will get Sigma Studio software and programming cable alongside the gadget. Pricing of the product is still unknown but it shall soon hit markets with a reasonable cost. Check out the video below:

As pod2g heats  up the iPhone community with his deadly tweets which claim that he will soon release untethered jailbreak device for  iOS 5.1, our other jailbreak gurus, iPhone Dev team, have updated their Redsn0w which includes untethered jailbreak Corona A5 for iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4S and  iPad 2.

The updated Redsnow 0.9.10b7 includes added new features which are:

Corona A5 untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S for iOS 5.0.1

The added update features a re-installation of jailbreak for users who accidentally uninstalled the untethered.

It further has added updates of showing more information about your device. These include information relative to vulnerable baseband bootloader or information of an existing old exploitable bootrom

Dev team has also featured a release in which they plan to add built in restore support to Redsnow. This will now act as an alternative to iTunes restore and will be the greatest feature of all at it will reduce the annoyance users faced in errors popping up while restoring custom iOS firmware files.

Redsnow 0.9.10b7 will only perform tethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod touch 3rd generation and iPhone 4 for iOS 5.1 only (tethered means connect the iOS device to a PC on every boot).
