Weather HD Comes To The iPhone

I remember when the iPad came out in April I sat in front of my MacBook and watched all the videos of new apps I could find on Youtube. The Yankees were getting a new shiny Apple tablet and I was not  - but then eventually I spent some bucks more than I would expect and bought one from the US. It’s been a great companion ever since.

“Curated” Doesn’t Necessarily Mean “Secure”

With absolutely no slight intended towards Apple or its App Store Reviewers, it is, in practice, impossible for Apple to guarantee that a user’s data won’t get sent from any application that Apple has approved. In fact, the curated nature of the iOS App Store makes Apple’s approach less secure in many ways, as the tools used to detect the breaches in security on Android would not be approved on the iOD App Store currently, so iPhone users don’t have as simple a way to detect if their phones are sharing their personal information.
