First Ever Automated Security Update For Mac Released, iOS To Follow?

Published

on

apple_logoApple is well known to be a company that continues to push the envelope when it comes to technological advancements and firsts. This time around, Cupertino has introduced the first ever automated security update for Mac computers in order to assist them in preventing attacks from recently identified bugs, which are also the very same bugs that that security researchers have pinpointed and warned against, as those could be the gateway for hackers to actually gain remote control of machines.

This automated security update was introduced on Monday so that it can fix critical security vulnerabilities in a component of the OS X operating system, which is known as network time protocol, or NTP. Apple spokesman Bill Evans did share that NTP was used for synchronizing clocks on computer systems.

Gone are the days when Mac users will laugh at PC owners on the perils of using the latter, where there are viruses and the like to worry about, as the Mac platform no longer has the moral high ground to lay such a claim, although such incidents are still far less on the Mac platform even right now as opposed to those using PCs. The beauty of this update? It is seamless enough, that you do not even need to restart your machine after it has been applied, how thoughtful is that by Apple? Does this mean we will soon see similar updates arrive on the iOS platform in the same manner down the road?

Published

iphone6-diamond-ecstasy-goldIf you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries

With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors

Published

on

apple-logo2It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.

Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.

Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
