Motorola Makes Fun of iPhone 4, Again - Droid Fans Laugh At Apple

It seems like the latest trend in the smartphone advertising scene is to make fun of Apple by designing banners containing supposedly funny and enjoyable quotes about reception, cases, bars and whatever it is that makes you think about the iPhone 4.

Samsung did it a few days ago. Motorola is doing it again. Droid-Life laughs at Apple, because Motorola decided to run this ad. Makes sense?

Check out the popular banner and alleged smart description of the product below. Oh, and here’s video of the Droid X, too.

Pano, Now Fully iPhone 4 Compatible

Pano was one of the applications I used the most on my old iPhone 3GS: it’s an awesome photography application that lets you take a series of pictures to build a panoramic view. It’s simple and produces stunning results.

Too bad that as I got the iPhone 4 I tried to install Pano, take some a picture and…it crashed. I tried again, and it kept crashing. Something was wrong with the iPhone 4 camera, I figured. Now, I’ve just noticed  an update for Pano in iTunes, which fixes those camera incompatibilities and makes the app fully compatible with the new device.

Awesome news. Pano is available at $2.99 in the App Store.

Safari 5.0.1 Addresses AutoFill Security Vulnerability

If you haven’t updated to Safari 5.0.1 yet for Safari Extensions, maybe you should to address a recent security vulnerability? MacRumors reports that the latest update addresses a critical flaw that could allow malicious sites to gather Address Book information. According to Apple,

Safari’s AutoFill feature can automatically fill out web forms using designated information in your Mac OS X Address Book, Outlook, or Windows Address Book.  By design, user action is required for AutoFill to operate within a web form. An implementation issue exists that allows a maliciously crafted website to trigger AutoFill without user interaction.
