Installing Full Siri on your Jailbroken iPhone 4 will send your Personal Information to a Server in China

This is a warning if you have a jailbroken iPhone 4 and want to give Siri a try. Apparently if you install Full Siri on your jailbroken iPhone 4, a hack will send your personal information to a server in China. This simply means that your email, contacts, calendar, SMS and location can be viewed by a group of people who made this hack possible.

Grant Paul was the one who detected the hack that will make your iPhone vulnerable after installing Full Siri.

How to Make your Friends Say “I’m Gay” on Facebook

Here’s a little Facebook exploit that might interest pranksters. This trick will make your Facebook friends say “I’m Gay” on Facebook.

You need to sucker them into doing the following steps.

‎1. Copy this: @+[251859230739:0]
2. Paste it as a comment below.
3. Delete the “+” sign.
4. Press “Enter.”

Well, the word doesn’t really have to say “I’m Gay.” You can actually make them publish anything you want on Facebook, if the’re gullible enough to fall for it. The reason for this is that the numbers inside the bracket represents an ID for a Facebook page called “I’m Gay.” So by typing a string other than 251859230739 will give you the power to make your friends say anything you want (if they’re stupid enough).

A New Life for your Old PCs and Netbooks

What do you do with an old laptop or netbook once it cannot handle the software upgrades that seriously make them crawl to their death? If you want to stick with your favorite operating system, then you should upgrade the hardware or buy a new one. Another thing that you can do is install an operating system that takes up little space and requires less RAM and Processor speed to run. If you’re asking where you can find such an OS, then you’re in luck. The guys at Ubuntu made this awesome Ubuntu variant called Lubuntu.

Lubuntu is a desktop project by Ubuntu. The main objective here is to create a lightweight operating system that’s less resource hungry and more energy-efficient. They made this happen by using light weight applications and a lightweight GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Lubuntu is targeted at “normal” PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. The minimum system hardware requirement for Lubuntu is a Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MB of RAM. It’s probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu. It should be possible to install and run Lubuntu with less memory, but the result will likely not be suitable for practical use. This simply means that it’ll run great on computers from five years ago. Another great treat is that Lubuntu can be used by those who aren’t really familiar with Linux command line tools.

If you’ve been meaning to try out Linux but don’t have enough resources for full-featured mainstream distributions (distros), try out Lubuntu on your old computer and see how it works out for you. Who knows, you might find a suitable function for your old laptop that’s been lying around since your last upgrade.

iPad2 Hack: Bypass iPad2’s Security Code Using the Smart Cover

The iPad2’s smart cover just got a little smarter. The guys from 9to5mac discovered a security flaw in the iPad2. You can actually bypass the security code on any iPad2 by using the smart cover. All you need to do is activate the off screen (home + standby on/off) of the iPad2 without actually sliding to turn it off. The next step is to place the smart cover on the iPad, close it and flip it open and click cancel and you’re in.

The bypass procedure doesn’t actually let you fully use the unlocked iPad2. It’ll allow you to browse through the apps but not actually open them. The real security threat here is when you’ve left a sensitive application open when you locked your iPad2. If your iPad got unlocked this way and you’ve left your email, contact list, notes and other apps that the perpetrator could use against you, then you should be worried.

So, until apple updates this security flaw, the best measure that you can take is to not leave an app open when you lock your iPad2.
