Apple Paying $15 To iPhone 4 Users, Guess Why ?

Actually its kinda lol story but yes it has occurred. Apple has started to pay $15 to each iPhone 4 user and the reason is the antenna gate, the big issue of old days. Ira Rothken tweeted about the payment by Apple

The iPhone 4 Antenna Class Action Settlement website is up if you want to make a claim or get info please visit http://www.iphone4settlement.com

The iPhone 4’s leading issue of antenna gate got many fixed and stuffs, it was also confirmed that a less percentage of people are facing the call reception problem. The Cupertino company claimed that its due of holding the iPhone in a wrong way which leads to call drop. After the lawsuit ending, Apple will have to pay $15 or a bumper if you haven’t received one before, the website which is in the above tweet contains a form where you have to place your iPhone 4’s identity to get the case solved, the entries are to be taken till 28th of August.

After the releasing of the fifth generation iPhone, the lawsuit came to an end, will anyone even go for this or not a big question though ? And this offer is only for the US iPhone 4 users, respectively.

Internet Clampdown Will happens This Saturday by Anonymous Hackers

The internet is growing day by day with the advancement in technology. There was a time when we were limited to a particular bandwidth, area, location, or region where we didn’t have internet. These days, internet is like water. It is available in almost every part of the world and more than trillion people are using it. Some use it for good and some use it for bad. The good ones make something good and when it comes to bad, don’t ask. Every person in the world suffers due to it. If you didn’t understand about the bad thing, so it is Hacking. Hacking is the one and only crime which cannot be stopped or controlled by any one. If you think that this can be stopped by any means, so you won’t be totally wrong. No doubt that the hacking can be stopped by firewalls and all the stuff like that only if it is done on low level.

When the hacking goes beyond the high level, it turns out be a great challenge for someone to stop it. Like this a group of Hackers call themselves, Anonymous, came into action when GeoHot got arrested for hacking Sony PS 3 and Sony filed a lawsuit against him. They hacked Sony EU website and leaked all of their data on the web. This time they have pledged to shut down the internet for a day. This time they are not fighting for any of their fellow partner, instead they are fighting against the SOPA, Wall Street, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are busy in making money. The shutdown of the internet is planned for this Saturday which is 31st March, 2012. The main aim of the internet shutdown is to protest against the internet censoring done by SOPA.

“To protest SOPA, Wall Street, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun, on March 31, anonymous will shut the Internet down”

Like mentioned above that the group doesn’t wants to kill any of the internet addicts, they just want to make some loss to all of those who are involved in internet censoring.

 “Remember, this is a protest, we are not trying to ‘kill’ the Internet we are only temporarily shutting it down where it hurts the most.”

The group has named the task as Operation Global Black Out 2012. In this operation they are planning to disable the DNS servers of the website which will make the websites go down and no one would be able to access the website on Saturday. As noted by BGR, Cyber Security Experts say that it won’t affect much and this cannot happen. There is really no need to fear about this shutdown.

“The Anonymous hackers can certain cause local pockets of disruption, but these disruptions are going to be localized to networks where their attack machines are located, or where their ‘reflectors’ are located”, said Robert Graham of Errata Security. “It’s unlikely they could take all of them down, at least for any period of time. On the day of their planned Global Blackout, its doubtful many people would notice.”

This is really a great threat for the government of U.S.A. Just imagine that Wall Street is down for a day and the economy would be affected really badly. Anything can happen.

Apple Illuminates about the Lightening Charge Speed of the New iPad

The most-recent week we told you about a strange fact about the iPad 3 that it still continuous to charge even it get 100%. People reported that the fresh iPad in contrast charges up to an hour after it is charged until 100%. Other than this, we also came across news that the New iPad heats more than the previous iPad 2. This reason was understandable because the New iPad got a new battery which is more improved than the old iPad 2. The New iPad gives you about 10-hours of extreme fun. When the fun ends, the charging starts, The New iPad still charges up to an hour after its 100% charged.

This was a strange mystery until AllThingsD took a step on this and conducted an interview of Apple’s Michael Tchao. Tchao told Allthings D that this nothing new and nothing to be worried about because this an effect of trickle charging, which has been there in iOS from the start.

So, here’s how things work: Apple does in fact display the iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) as 100 percent charged just before a device reaches a completely charged state. At that point, it will continue charging to 100 percent, then discharge a bit and charge back up to 100 percent, repeating that process until the device is unplugged. 

Doing so allows devices to maintain an optimum charge, Apple VP Michael Tchao told AllThingsD today.

“That circuitry is designed so you can keep your device plugged in as long as you would like,” Tchao said. “It’s a great feature that’s always been in iOS.”

Like we told you before that the New iPad can give up to 10- hours of battery life, regardless the fact that when the person puts the iPad on charge/discharge and the trickle cycle starts. When the iPad reaches 100% and it is still charging, the iPad discharges and then starts to charge by its self. It is also assured that when a person disconnects the iPad from charging, the battery is shown 100% because the person shouldn’t be confused about his iPad that it is charging or not.

The New iPad Gets Approval for Sale in China from Regulatory

China is the world’s largest maker of Apple’s Product. It makes 100% of Apple products and sells around the globe; on the other hand, it also produces 60% of Apple (Fruit) in the world. China is well-known for their production of different things. Recently, the Chinese quality control approved the New iPad bearing model number A1416 for sale in China.

China is no doubt a major market for Apple’s New iPad. People in China are so crazy about Apple products that some dealers had started to smuggle New iPad’s in China over the border for Grey Market. In our previous report, we told you about more than 200,000 New iPad’s were smuggled into China for sale in grey Market. How ever, the official sale of the New iPad is said to be only of WIFI Models, whereas the 4G+WIFI models need approval from the Chinese Quality Control to start the sale in China. The 4G models might be available in Grey Market at a high price. Once the iPad is launched officially in China, the prices at the grey market might fall.

Until now, no date has been announced for the authorized sale of the New iPad in China. Stay in touch with us to hear about the formal launch date/news from us.
