Why Erasing Files Is Not Enough Sure, you could erase the contents of the drive, but keep this in mind: the act of erasing a file does not remove it from a storage device.

Apart from the name—which I personally approve of very much—Zenitum's iKat app has another cool edge to it.

When planning your next Japan visit, better put aside a night for a "factory night jungle cruise" if you want to be right up there with the latest Japanese otaku craze. They literally visit factories, at night. According to Japan Trends, which brought the fad to our attention, the "factory love" is popular among photographers—which I can understand, as lit-up factories can be quite scenic—but also families and couples too.

South Korea has overhauled its public transport network with recharging roads, where the vehicles use power from buried electric strips in the road. It was invented at the University of California, before South Korea adopted it for an amusement park. The system is being tested at an amusement park in Seoul, but if all goes well, the country hopes to expand it to the whole city's bus route—helping minimize unsightly overhead power lines and obviously doing a good turn for the environment.

It's not a micro four thirds, but Pentax has lifted the lid on the 645D medium format camera, which will be available this May for close to $10,000. Why so expensive, you ask? There's that 40MP Kodak sensor for starters. It's also got a SAFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points, a Pentax original Real Image Engine, 14 bit A/D converter, and is the ultimate kick-around camera, with 70 seals making it dustproof, weather resistant and cold-proof.

According to McAffee CTO George Kurtz the cyber-attacks that occurred in January targed a small number of employees who controlled source code management systems.  These source code management systems handle the myriad changes that developers make as they write software, the breach of which can have a cascade effect across multiple levels of Google and as many as 30 other business targeted in the January attacks.  Aside from being awesome and using ‘cyber-attack’ in a sentence, I a...]]> http://video.gearlive.com/video/article/q110-popcorn-hour-popbox/ http://video.gearlive.com/video/article/q110-popcorn-hour-popbox/ 5 March 2010, 10:49 pm
We talked with Syabas Technology, makers of the Popcorn Hour line of set-top boxes, about their new Popbox at CES 2010, where they gave us a walkthrough of the 1080p streaming, Netflix-supporting, app-centric home theater device. Seriously, this thing seems to support everything under the sun, including Java, Flash, and tons of video codecs in full HD.

Last week Rush Limbaugh admitted that he had never clipped a coupon in his entire life.  This week CouponSurfer has challenged him to use their coupon site to clip his first-ever coupon.  Based upon market studies and tons of compiled data, I have come to the conclusion that Rush is going to be disappointed in couponsurfer.com’s performance in this arena; nowhere in the entire internets did I find coupons for ‘blood of 1,000 virgins’ or ‘Oxycotin.’...]]> http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q110-audio-fiction-rock-band/ http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q110-audio-fiction-rock-band/ 5 March 2010, 8:14 pm
Alt-rockers Audio Fiction have become one of the first bands to use the Harmonix games and MTV’s newly-launched Rock Band Network Music Store for the Xbox 360 to author their own Rock Band song.  The band used Harmonix tools to author their track ‘Race the Hourglass’ as their first addition to the Rock Band Network catalogue.  Audio Fiction’s bassist, Darren Korb, then put it into a game-compatible file format, had it peer tested and approved in the debut launch of Rock Band Ne...]]> http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q110-sony-ericsson-xperia-x2-wiredia/ http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q110-sony-ericsson-xperia-x2-wiredia/ 5 March 2010, 7:38 pm

If you’re looking for something with a SCOTTEVEST flair, but made with denim, take notice of what WTFJean has going on. They make jeans with specially-fitted pockets, lined with microfiber, meant to house your iPhone or iPod touch. In addition, they even have pockets meant to hold on to USB sticks, which we guess the pockets on your regular jeans are no good for?

The iPad news that a lot of you’ve been waiting for is finally here, as we now have a firm launch and pre-order start date for the Apple tablet. The iPad will be shipping from Apple for online orders, and also available at retail Apple Stores and “select Authorized Retailers” on April 3rd, which technically falls short of the “late March” timeframe.

One MacRumors user, owning a phone that looks pretty beat, demonstrates the full process of restoring his phone with sandpaper and a new LCD kit.The poster makes a point of noting that on most phones, you'll only want to use a rougher sandpaper to try and remove 90 percent of the scratches, not get to a completely clean and polished look—with the scratch-resistant coating completely removed—as shown at the...]]> http://lifehacker.com/5484825/push-doctor-fixes-push-notification-issues-on-unlocked-iphones http://lifehacker.com/5484825/push-doctor-fixes-push-notification-issues-on-unlocked-iphones 3 March 2010, 10:00 pm

When the iPhone initially launched in 2007, the much anticipated iPhone OS required an arsenal of jailbroken apps to perform even the mildest tasks such as MMS and video recording.

I screened the film version of the story, and MacBook Pros are visible throughout as the the tool used to solve mysteries. It's a good film as well, as far as taut thrillers from Sweden go.

We actually got to see them press the button on the release live and in person, and sure enough, the game is in the App Store right now for $9.99.

Filed under: App Store, iPad The number of eBooks in the App Store has surpassed the number of games for the first time, and the spread is widening. Mobclix, a mobile device advertising agency, reports that as of last month, there were over 27,000 eBook apps while games were relegated to the runner-up position of 25,400 apps. Over the last reported month, new introductions of eBook apps more than doubled that of games (158 eBook versus 71 game apps).

If you can’t get enough of Twitter, need more ways to use it more often, and you run your iPhone jailbroken, then TwitScreen may be just the little lock screen pal you’re looking for.

The Dacha Works Module SmartCase is a lot like a corset for the iPhone: it focuses on changing the appearance and form factor of your favourite little device.

Paper Toss – one of my favorite iPhone games – has just had another update, to Version 1.40.

Doodle Jump for the iPhone is something like a developer’s fairy tale: two brothers set out to make a game using only the talents they’ve got at hand, and end up striking gold.

It’s not quite as fancy as the Palm Pre and the battery is certainly a little more expensive, but inductive charging is inductive charging (that is to say, it’s always awesome).

What’s a Caligo and why am I chasing it? Actually, you know what? That’s neither here nor there.

A few weeks ago I wrote an article about why Cydia sucks and how it could be improved. Maybe Saurik heard me because he decided to give Cydia a small update that aims at making it faster.

When the iPhone initially launched in 2007, the much anticipated iPhone OS required an arsenal of jailbroken apps to perform even the mildest tasks such as MMS and video recording. But through product refreshes and several software updates, that list of apps is shrinking and the iPhone OS is now considered among the industries top mobile platforms. Now that functions such as copy/paste and video recording are available in the stock OS, jailbroken applications like Clippy and Cycorder are no long...]]> http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/2010/03/07/march72010/ http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/2010/03/07/march72010/ 7 March 2010, 4:00 pm

Adobe took a new strategy to put Flash animations on the iPhone, with the release later this year of Flash Pro CS5 Beta, Adobe will enable any Flash developer to create an iPhone application (.ipa file) and then the developer could send it to Apple for approval.

One of the simplest ways to keep your accounts secure is to create a strong password that is resistant to attempts to discover it.
