5 things would be great to see in iOS 7

No operating system is perfect, that's obvious. Everyone always have some little mistake or do not have some property that we would like to have. iOS, as we know, is the second most popular mobile operating system in the world, lagging behind Android only. It is expected that in the coming months to be released a major new version of this operating system: iOS 7 . Of course, this new version will not be perfect, but there are some things that would be good for missing:

- A Smarter Siri Siri was released in October 2011, it's been 1 year and a half. The wizard quickly became very popular and at that time had no competition. Today, the Voice Search from Google not only more accurate, but also faster. Even Microsoft is preparing itself as told assistant, so Siri will need to improve.

- iCloud : This is a good service, but there are better on the market. Apple needs to improve and also improve integration with third-party apps. It would be great if we could move apps to the cloud in the form of backups.

- App Store : Apple store is great for all applications that are available, but lacks some things, like a preview mode for example. Would be great to download a paid app for free and that works for a limited time, so we can test it and make sure that is what we seek.

- The lock function and the home screen : if something has hardly changed since it was launched the iPhone, that is the function of lock screen and home screen itself (the Home). Any design change would do no harm.

- Application Management taskbar : iOS interface can be too rigid to some, especially when cruising between the different applications available. A general redesign of this and also of the taskbar would be phenomenal.

Now tell us: What new features, functions or designs you would like to incorporate iOS 7?

For creators of Steam, Windows 8 will be a "catastrophe for all '

 

The Windows 8 will be a catastrophe for those who like to play on PC and will harm the computer market. Who was it said Gabe Newell, Valve's CEO, producer of games like Half-Life, Left 4 Dead and creator of Steam.

Microsoft's new platform will have its own app store - the Windows 8 Store. And Newell believes it affect similar services already available today.

"The Windows 8 will be a disaster for all of the computers in space. I think we lose some manufacturers, who will end up leaving the market, "said Newell, according to Mashable. "If true, then we need good alternatives to it."

One of the alternatives considered by Valve is the version of Steam for Linux, which is already being developed. Newell believes that what is lacking for the open source system gain more space among consumers is a good supply of games - what would be possible to adapt the service.

The store apps Windows 8 will, somehow, a competitor to Steam. The distribution service games company Newell currently has more than 40 million active users and 2500 titles from different developers.

Apple tries to protect brand App Store

 

Again, the Apple is considering taking legal action against a rival, this time to protect the name of your app store, the pioneer App Store.

The initiative is mainly because of growth of the Amazon in the mobile area. Encouraged by the success of the Kindle Fire, the megastore is expected to release new versions of the tablet and possibly even a smartphone, and bolster the image of your 'Amazon App Store'.

Since Apple just released the economy of the applications with the iPhone and the very concept of a smartphone, the name App Store has been considered by generic companies that decided to invest in niche and was embraced by several brands in their own systems for the provision of software .

The U.S. brand claims, however, that this can lead to confusion among consumers, so it is likely to act legally against the companies that adopt the term.

The first lawsuit to ban the use of the mark was made ​​in March 2011, when the name was still Amazon Appstore for Android. But now the Silicon Valley company claims that the Amazon App Store omitted the supplement 'for Android' to knowingly induce consumers to confusion with the Apple store.

Meanwhile, Apple tries to get the copyright registration of the mark in the U.S. App Store - a process that has been challenged by Microsoft and is still being decided - and also in Europe.

The company has gained notoriety for framing their competitors on the court and try to use legal action to prevent that they can make inroads in areas that Apple is strong, especially in the production of tablets and smartphones. The favorite target is Samsung, which had already banned the sale of tablets in the United States and Europe.

First trojan for the iPhone and iPad is identified by security expert

 

A security specialist Kaspersky claims to have identified a trojan designed for Apple's mobile devices - iPhone, iPhone and iPod. The worm was disguised as a digital application called "Find and Call" and also have a version for Android devices. Apple has removed the malicious application of the store.
In one post , Denis Maslennikov, Kaspersky Lab expert, says that installing Trojan horse (malicious program that opens up security holes on the device is installed), the application sends the contact list of devices to a remote server. The data are used later in this remote server to send spam via SMS. The main target users in Russia.
Maslennikov said he had contacted Apple and Google to report the malicious application, but did not yet return. In App Store, the app no ​​longer appears, but you can still find it via search engines.
For the "Wired," the Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller said only that the application was removed from the App Store for "unauthorized use of your contact list, a violation of the rules of the store."
It is not the first time that an application "steals" the catalog of contacts in iOS devices. In 2008, the game Aurora Feint was removed from the App Store for security and privacy problems. Aurora sent the contact list of users to their own servers without using encryption features.
More recently, the Path, application to share posts, photos and videos, also captured private data from users of iOS. The company apologized for what happened and claims to have deleted the data collected.
The "Find and Call", unlike the Aurora Feint and Path was developed exclusively for stealing data from mobile devices - what would rank as the first malware for Apple's system.
