Apple has iPhone from Cisco hands like?

Apple has used these tactics to gain what brand iOS iPhone and its capital is owned by Cisco computers?

Recently, in his book "Inside Apple" (roughly translated "Inside Apple"), author Adam Lashinsky revealed that CEO Steve Jobs of Apple was "grab" from the hands Cisco iPhone trademark.
CultofMac magazine, not just computer giant Cisco iPhone trademark Apple for years, but they also own brands iOS. So Apple may be two brands that how?

The story is told in his book Lashinsky as follows:

One day, Steve Jobs personally called Charles Giancarlo, Cisco's executives at the time. Mr. Giancarlo said: "Steve Jobs called me and said that he wanted the iPhone trademark. Steve Jobs did not suggest anything to change it. As if what we get is promises will be good friends. I answered "no, we have plans to use it (ie the trademark" iPhone ")."
 
Not long after, the law office of calling Apple announced that Cisco has "de-brand iPhone," which is the point of Apple, Cisco is not sufficient grounds to protect intellectual property rights, called "iPhone" and Apple has the right to use.
 
Mr. Giancarlo said a day after Apple introduced iPhone, Cisco filed a lawsuit.
Then the negotiation process between the two sides have shown a classic negotiating tactic by Steve Jobs. According to the Giancarlo, Steve Jobs has called to his home to dinner on Valentine's as an appointment.
After some talk, Steve Jobs said, "He can receive mail at home?". This question makes surprise Giancarlo. It was in 2007, when broadband Internet was popular throughout the normal household in the U.S., let alone a family of Silicon Valley leaders, who have many years of work in the technology progress. Giancarlo recalled: "He asked if I could check email at home. You know, he's trying to irritate me the most polite way. " Cisco has abandoned litigation shortly afterwards, and the two companies come to an agreement is ambiguous will work in both areas of mutual interest.
 
According to the book "Inside Apple" trademark use rights iOS also undergoing negotiations before belonged to Apple, and of course, Steve Jobs has adopted the "tactics" to achieve its own goal of his.

Android, iOS, BlackBerry security competition

Good security without freedom, "size" is less secure comfort. What is the mobile platform that best suits you?
Neohapsis Labs Research Institute (Chicago) has studied the problem of security in general and to the assessment of the most popular platform is now iOS, Android, Blackberry and some platforms are very different potential as Windows Phone, Meego, WebOS, Bada.

Android

Google's Android platform is currently the most popular mobile tablet PCs and smartphones with large custom version because the manufacturers provide. Interaction "swallow" a lot of Google services, Android is rapidly developing with the latest version of the Ice Cream Sandwich, supports many new features.
However, security is an issue that Android will go a long way to have control over. The delay in making security patches are always caused much trouble by each network, each manufacturer, each sample requires a different patch. As a result, a lot of equipment required to use the old version and not the safety of the OS.

The application is downloaded from the Android Market are mostly free applications. They are usually the developers give up and widely shared without prior testing. Disguised this opened the door to applications "garbage" that may exist for a long time, long before Google found and removed.
Meanwhile, the Amazon app store Appstore again promised to applications the ability to block spam better, even though many users still complain that this app store is updated too slowly.
Do apply the model flexible application, Android applications can do many things that the application on other platforms can not be done. When installed, the user is informed of what is right to make application, and can choose to install or not. Once installed, the 3rd party applications (if allowed the installation) can read and receive messages, make calls and receive calls, access the Internet or on / off the microphone, camera.
It is the flexibility of the Android platform that would become the choice of many different users. However, Android requires users to have certain knowledge of self-security to their devices better. Obviously, if you require secure, then Android is not for people of other religions.

BlackBerry

Android market share accounts for most users, but BlackBerry is precious to highlight business people. With its loyal users, RIM's BlackBerry devices still promote their values. This is the reason that even President Obama can hardly take your eyes off RIM.

Security and control are the biggest advantages of the BlackBerry. RIM's devices enable data encryption completely, what is controlled action on the device, limiting the individual applications ... Along with that BlackBerry App World application store has always been tightly controlled carefully before uploading.
However, this weakness is that all have control over its price and the security administrator can be extremely expensive for the ordinary users. And this makes the BlackBerry device is suitable for business users and become too complex for ordinary users. Recently, the BlackBerry will also talk about the BlackBerry platform 10 in the direction of more user-friendly population. But for now it remains only in the future.

iOS (iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch)

Ranked No. 2 in market share of mobile devices, but apparently there are many products iOS users "cult" and run the most, but sometimes they do not care about the platform This can actually be done.

In fact, the IOS platform are tightly controlled than Android with features designed to bring consistency to the experience, flexibility and can be controlled. Plus the unique design of Apple, iOS makes a great satisfaction to the user within the scope of what Apple designs available to users. But when you need beyond that framework, it is inappropriate. Due to the tight control of Apple, users can not patch the vulnerability until Apple releases new update, but sometimes it takes several months, and in many cases, the old equipment is not compatible with the updates and never patched.
Apple has the ability to control applications on the App Store. Lots of applications refused permission settings for unknown reasons (the most common case is Google Voice application in 2009). However, despite the compatible devices and Apple's platform is very tight, but users can still manually remove the security lock devices memtren Apple (jailbreak). Jailbreak allows users to add new features to the device, but Apple has not patched the error handling, or installation of applications not supported on older platforms. But jailbreak also limit the ability of the device IOS security.
As such, IOS is safe choice between Android and BlackBerry; though of course would be forced to sacrifice the flexibility of Android, but the more experienced users will not want.

Windows Phone 7 and all other system

In addition, there are many other potential platforms enriched for the mobile platform. Most notable is the Microsoft Windows Phone 7, Meego of the Linux Foundation, and Samsung Bada. Symbian (Nokia) and WebOS (HP) can be re-exported and developed in the future, but can clearly see that at this time, the two have absolutely no voice. Windows Phone 7 with the alignment of Microsoft and Nokia promises will bring something different. However, this platform can do anything or not, make sure the user will have to wait a while longer.

The general conclusion

What mobile platform do deserve to be chosen to be assured about security issues?
The answer is:

• For a regular user groups: iOS (iPhone / iPad / iPod touch)
• For people and technology: iOS / Android
• For the group of business people: Blackberry / iOS

Skype for IOS application problems serious security flaw

A break in the Skype application information for the operating system IOS could make personal data of users stolen.

Inter-site scripting vulnerabilities (XSS) has appeared in Skype 3.0.1 and earlier versions.

 



This vulnerability makes the hacker creates a bad JavaScript code is triggered when users view messages in the chat window of Skype. This code can be used to access any files which Skype application access, even the phone book on the iPhone.

Skype became aware of this vulnerability and is currently looking for a fix. "We are trying our best to fix this in the next version release," Skype said.
