Review: Misfit’s Bolt LED bulb promises iPhone and wearable control of color-shifting lights






Review: Misfit’s Bolt LED bulb promises iPhone and wearable control of color-shifting lights


- 9to5mac.com



Two of the hottest product categories at this year’s CES were home automation and wearables, which Apple is now tackling with HomeKit and the Apple Watch. As has historically been the case, the price premiums Apple has set for its products have left plenty of room for more affordable alternatives. Misfit, a company co-founded by former Apple CEO John Sculley, is now competing in both categories: the just-released Bolt Wireless LED Smart Light Bulb ($50) joins a small collection of Bluetooth-controlled lights, while its late 2014 wearable fitness and sleep tracker Flash ($33-$50) is in the process of being upgraded to control Bolt.

Misfit’s pitch for Bolt is interesting. It’s billing the color-shifting bulb as producing “gallery-quality light,” and focusing its new Misfit Home app for iOS on creating “Lightscapes” — lighting scenarios including neutral bright white, warm sunrises and sunsets, candlelight, forest and volcanic tones, amongst other “scenes” where the color is set but the brightness is adjustable. When Bolt works, it’s a wonderful source of light, but as is common these days, some post-release tweaks will be needed to exploit its full potential…

The first time you strap on an Apple Watch, it’s hard to tell what it can do. When do you use the touchscreen, and when the digital crown wheel? When, exactly, does Force Touch actually do something? The answers are here: Apple just published a full, searchable User Guide.

It’s an enormous guide—spanning 23 topics and almost 100 pages—and it’s almost required reading. Apple’s video tutorials are a great start, but there are lots of little things in the guide that would be hard to figure out on your own. Did you know that the watch can send turn-by-turn directions to your wrist by vibrating in specific, recognizable patterns? We didn’t, and neither did John Gruber at Daring Fireball.

Security Flaw Lets Attackers Crash Any iPhone or iPad Within Wi-Fi Range






Security Flaw Lets Attackers Crash Any iPhone or iPad Within Wi-Fi Range


- gizmodo.com



[embedded content]

At the RSA security conference in San Francisco today, researchers from security firm Skycure presented ‘No iOS Zone’, a vulnerability that would let attackers crash any iOS device within range of a WiFi hotspot — whether you deliberately connect or not. Gulp.

The vulnerability takes advantage of a bug in iOS 8: namely, that by manipulating SSL certificates sent to iOS devices over a network — certificates used in virtually every app, and in iOS itself — the researchers could make iOS devices crash, in the worst-case scenario putting them into a constant boot-loop.

At first glance, the vulnerability doesn’t seem too bad: after all, in order to have those bad SSL certificates sent to you, the attacker needs control of the Wi-Fi network. So just don’t connect to random Wi-Fi hotspots, and you should be fine — or you’d think.

The researchers combined the SSL certificate flaw with an older exploit, one they’d named WiFiGate. In short, they found that iOS devices are pre-programmed by the carrier to automatically connect to certain networks. For example, AT&T customers will auto-connect to any network called ‘attwifi’. There’s no way to prevent your phone from doing this, short of turning Wi-Fi off altogether.

The end result is that the Skycure team could create a tainted Wi-Fi hotspot, which any nearby iOS device would connect to, and then constantly crash, rendering the device useless. And, because the device is stuck in a bootloop, there’s no easy way to disable Wi-Fi, and escape the hacker’s network.

As the researchers pointed out in their presentation, the vulnerability can be used to render any iOS device in a certain location completely useless. Sure, that means no more Snapchat for the tweens, but in sensitive locations (cough, Wall Street) it could wreak havoc.

The team is working with Apple on a fix; in the meantime, they haven’t disclosed the full details of their attack, but anyone with an iPhone is theoretically vulnerable for now. Consider this your monthly reminder to stay the hell away from dodgy Wi-Fi networks. Better yet, just burn your smartphone and live inside a Faraday cage. [Skycure via The Register]

New MacBook Review: Stupidly Thin

The new MacBook is a marvel of engineering. It’s beautiful, and far more functional than a computer this size has any right to be. But it’s not for me, and I doubt it’s for you, either. It’s just too damn thin.

What Is It?

The latest crazy-thin Apple computer—a tiny 12-inch laptop with a incredible high-res display. So tiny you could practically stuff it into a large purse. So thin that it required Apple to create an entirely new type of ultra-shallow keyboard and touchpad so you can actually use it for work. So minimalist that it only includes a single I/O port—a do-it-all USB Type-C jack that’s clearly the future, but requires dongles for now. A little pricy at $1300 for the base version, though you get 8GB of RAM and 256GB of speedy solid state storage for the money.

After just releasing a new version of Chrome for the desktop, Google is out today with an updated version of Chrome for iPhone and iPad. Version 42 includes a new widget in the Today section of Notification Center, support for 1Password and LastPass and other app extensions, plus more.

Chrome’s brand new Today view widget in Notification Center puts Voice Search a swipe away from anywhere on your iPhone or iPad. Once you add the Chrome widget, you can swipe down and quickly open a new tab in the Chrome browser or open Voice Search to have a Siri-like experience within Google’s browser. If you have a URL copied to your clipboard from any app like Safari or Twitter, you’ll notice this in the widget as well; tapping the copied URL from the widget will open it directly in Chrome from Notification Center.

Chrome also includes support for app extensions like 1Password and LastPass for filling in your passwords from the apps that securely manage them without leaving the browser. Unlike Safari, which features the share/action button on the bottom toolbar, Chrome includes its share/action button in the top right corner of the window under the three-dot icon. If you have compatible apps installed, you’ll notice the extension sheet next to copy and print options alongside other options like AirDrop and share options.

Tumblr for iOS adds blog creation, trending tags widget, quick video embedding, more


- 9to5mac.com



Tumblr is out today with a brand new version of its blogging and community app for iPhone and iPad. Version 4 adds several new features like the ability to create new blogs from your iPhone or iPad and create video posts quickly by pasting YouTube or Vimeo URLs into a new post. The update adds a new widget for the Today section of Notification Center on iOS 8 for quickly seeing which tags are trending on Tumblr when you’re not using the app and much more.

Previously, blog creation was only available through the web interface while the iOS app served as a way to manage a blog you already created or follow other blogs. Now Tumblr says you can “make it, name it, give it an avatar, give it a header image, title it, describe it, post your first post to it” right from the iPhone and iPad app. No web browser or computer required.

Tumblr says its new video embedding feature was the most popular request among its mobile app users. Similar to other blogging platforms, the Tumblr app on iPhone and iPad can now translate URLs for videos on YouTube, Vimeo, and similar sites automatically into video embeds for new posts without requiring any coding.

Search is also more capable in the new version. Tumblr for iPhone and iPad now offers filters when searching the platform for content including photos and chats. Great way to quickly find the GIF you’re looking for… and Tumblr says GIFs now “load in a much more pleasing fashion.”

Apple Patents A System To Broadcast Your Availability For Calls


- techcrunch.com


Apple Patents A System To Broadcast Your Availability For CallsApple has a new patent, granted today by the USPTO (via AppleInsider), that would use contextual information including your current time zone, ringer silence status, battery life, location and cell network strength to determine whether or not you’re available for a call automatically, and display that information to friends.The new Apple patent details a system that would use all relevant signals from a mobile phone, including whether it’s been placed in airplane mode, or set solely to vibration. Using a combination of various bits of information, it could determine when you were in meetings, for instance, or in the middle of some kind of exercise activity and unwilling to take a call.

The information would be made available to contacts looking to connect on an on-demand basis, with the user of the phone sending status able to specify which contacts specifically should be able to have access. It would appear in contact cards on the iPhone, with status polling happening on demand to ensure you’re looking at current information.

Apple revealed the first look at its all-new Music app for iPhone and iPad with the first beta release of iOS 8.4 today, which brings a new look to iTunes Radio among other major changes. Pandora Radio, the similarly-modeled music streaming service that’s arguably superior to iTunes Radio in music variety and selection, released a timely update this evening adding Apple Watch support to its iPhone app ahead of the new wearable device’s release on April 24th. Pandora Radio’s WatchKit app for Apple Watch will include a glance for swiping up from the watch face to identify the song currently playing from the iPhone app.

HBO Now Review: It Passed the Game of Thrones Test, But Is That Enough?

HBO Now Review: It Passed the Game of Thrones Test, But Is That Enough?

I still remember that terrible night in 2011 when millions of fans screamed in agony as Game of Thrones started, stuttered, and died on HBO Go. We all felt burned by HBO’s crappy internet service. But HBO Now, launched just in time for last night’s GOT premiere, promised to be better. Was it? Yes.

What Is It?

HBO Now is a brand-new app designed for people who don’t have cable. It’s been available for Apple devices since last week. You just download it from the App Store, sign up with your email address, and you receive a free month to get you hooked. If you don’t have an Apple device, you can get the same content via Sling TV on a variety of other platforms. Either way, it’s $15 per month, roughly twice what it costs for similar streaming services from Netflix or Hulu Plus.

Still, you get a pretty big bang for that 15 bucks, with every episode of HBO’s popular series on tap—from Silicon Valley and Girls, to Boardwalk Empire, Veep, and the John Oliver show. When you’re done with those, you can mainline classic HBO series like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, and True Detective. There are several popular Latin American shows as well. You can finish your night by watching dozens of on-demand movies, too.

Of course, you’ll be doing it on your iPhone or iPad (like I did), unless you have an Apple TV or Sling TV. That’s fine. I love watching TV on my iPad.

Polling data suggests the Sport made up 55-60% of all Apple Watch sales to date


- 9to5mac.com



With estimated Apple Watch preorders getting close to a million, a number of polls suggest that the Sport made up between 55% and 60% of these. Our own poll, by far the largest of those featured in a Fortune roundup, put Sport sales at just under 56% based on 11,865 responses at the time.

A second poll of just over 5,000 responses showed a slightly higher number of 59%, while a pre-sale poll of purchase intentions put the number at 60%. Only one poll differed markedly from this range, but that was based on a much smaller number of respondents so is likely to be less reliable … 

Slice Intelligence – which analyses email receipts from panel members – put the number a little higher at 62%, though its data is based on US sales only.

Our poll showed that 78% of readers were able to get the model they wanted, with 13% opting to wait and 9% compromising on their first choice in order to get their Apple Watch sooner rather than later.

It’s possible that Apple may release total sales numbers today, though as it doesn’t release model by model breakdowns for iPhone numbers, it is extremely unlikely to do so for the Apple Watch.

You can still take part in the polls – the main one below, the others here.

Almost all Apple Watch models sold out, AppleCare+ pricing revealed


- 9to5mac.com



Whether due to high demand or low supply, all models of Apple Watch have now almost entirely sold out with many slipping delivery date estimates in mere minutes of preorders opening. In the US, the 38 mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Classic Buckle is the only model still on offer with a ‘April 24th – May 8th’ shipping date.

AppleCare+ pricing is now also visible on store.apple.com. AppleCare+ costs $49 for Apple Watch Sport, $69 for Apple Watch and $1500 for Apple Watch Edition. Interestingly, Apple is also offering a ‘combo purchase’ where you can buy AppleCare+ for both your iPhone and your Watch at a bundled price of $100 more. The bundle prices don’t offer any saving over buying both devices  (if you can ignore the negligible $1 difference), so they seem to be offered as a convenience purchase only.

Report claims Google nearing Android Wear for iOS release, shows off FaceTime notification on LG Watch + MORE






Report claims Google nearing Android Wear for iOS release, shows off FaceTime notification on LG Watch


- 9to5mac.com



Adding to recent reports that Google is working on iOS support for Android Wear devices, today The Verge reports that the company is “close to finishing the final technical details” on the companion app for iOS. The report cites sources close to the development of the project and also includes the image above showing a FaceTime notification on the LG G Watch R. More from the report:

In its current state of development, Android Wear works along with a companion app on the iPhone and supports basic functions like notifications — as you can see in the photo below. As it does on Android, on the iPhone Android Wear also supports Google Now’s ambient information cards, voice search, and other voice actions. It should also support some more advanced features with Google’s own iOS apps, like replying to Gmail messages.

A previous report noted that Google was developing Android Wear support for iOS and could debut the project as soon as its I/O developer conference in May.

Today’s report brings up the possibility that Google might have a bit of trouble getting through the App Store’s approval process. At the very least it could run into guidelines that prevent it from bringing over all of the features it offers on Android devices to iOS. Pebble and other smart watches have companion apps, but like them Google will be limited to working within the iOS and App Store guidelines, unlike on Android.Filed under: Apps, iOS Tagged: Android, Android Wear, Apple watch, Google Visit 9to5Mac to find more special coverage of Apps, iOS, and Google.What do you think?
