Infinity Blade II, The Eye-Popping iOS Masterpiece Is Now Available For Download Dec 1st 2011, 16:47 By Usman on December 1st, 2011 0 Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. The developers of Infinity Blade, Chair Entertainment, are back a year later with Infinity Blade II which is now available for download in the App Store for $6.99. The game which is often quoted to be "a showcase piece", is a technically and visually stunning title that consistently delivers eye-popping stuff. In screenshots, the game might look indistinguishable from its year-old predecessor but in fact, it offers much more. The sharper shadows, stronger lighting, and a glut of atmospheric effects appear amazingly beautiful, especially on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Like the first game, this one is on a loop, lasting about 20 minutes on a play-through before you will face an end boss, bring your accumulated armor and ability upgrades back to a restart and play through again. The game now allows dual-wielding of some blades and heavy weapons adding new defensive techniques and offensive combos. You can now specialize weapons by adding gems that induce special effects like poison or health re-generation. Even the story is worth caring about, as your first death introduces a twist to what these Infinity Blade games are really about. Here is the iTunes description: From Epic Games' award-winning studio, ChAIR Entertainment, comes Infinity Blade II, the sequel to the best-selling sword fighting action game developed exclusively for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Powered by Epic's cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology, Infinity Blade II takes handheld gaming to even greater heights with stunning visuals, new combat styles, and advanced character customization in a beautiful, fully 3D world. The Award-Winning Infinity Blade Story Continues! The God King has been defeated, an unlikely hero has emerged and now you must discover the truth behind the secrets of the Infinity Blade. The continuing journey of young Siris unfolds as you delve deeper into the world of the Deathless tyrants and their legion of Titans. Can you unlock all the mysteries and successfully wield the power of the Infinity Blade in this timeless sword fighting adventure of champions and villains? A Robust & Dynamic 3D World: Explore beautiful and immersive environments that dynamically change over time during your travels and venture to exotic locations such as the Asian themed Saydhi's Estate or the medieval inspired Vault of Tears featuring multiple paths to explore. Featuring 3 All-New Styles of Combat:  Now you can choose from multiple classes of weapons, armor and spells, each with specialized capabilities such as Dual Wielding, Two-Handed and the standard Weapon & Shield class. Learn each discipline by using Infinity Blade II's intuitive pick-up and play game play style that is easy to use, yet difficult to master! Infinity Blade's Trademark Character Customization Evolved: Create and forge even more powerful weapons with mystical objects you discover and collect along your journey, expanding your overall arsenal with all-new elemental powers & capabilities! The Secrets of Your Past Revealed: Delve deeper into the fantastical story of Infinity Blade as your journey leads you to the realm of the mysterious Deathless Saydhi and discover the truth about the Worker of Secrets and the powers he holds.

iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource: ‘Carrier IQ’ Spyware References Discovered In iOS, Here Are The Details

iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource iPhone News and Tips for Canadian iPhone Users // via fulltextrssfeed.com

'Carrier IQ' Spyware References Discovered In iOS, Here Are The Details Dec 1st 2011, 15:54 By Usman on December 1st, 2011 0 Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. References of 'Carrier IQ', the infamous spware, have just been found in Apple's iOS. For those who aren't aware, 'Carrier IQ' is the rootkit that Carriers put on many of their phones to monitor customer usage.  As previously discovered by a security researcher, 'Carrier IQ' monitors keystrokes and sends them back to its own servers. Luckily on iOS devices, it appears to have been cut off from such activities. On iOS, it merely stores information but doesn't seem to be sending anything as long as 'Diagnostics and Usage'  in iOS 5 is turned off. Chpwn, a renowned member of iOS hacker community has published a blog post explaining what 'Carrier IQ' references discovered in iOS mean: Carrier IQ, the now infamous "rootkit" or "keylogger", is not just for Android, Symbian,BlackBerry, and even webOS. In fact, up through and including iOS 5, Apple has included a copy of Carrier IQ on the iPhone. However, it does appears to be disabled along with diagnostics enabled on iOS 5; older versions may send back information in more cases. Because of that, if you want to disable Carrier IQ on your iOS 5 device, turning off "Diagnostics and Usage" in Settings appears to be enough. Importantly, it does not appear the daemon has any access or communication with the UI layer, where text entry is done. I am reasonably sure it has no access to typed text, web history, passwords, browsing history, or text messages, and as such is not sending any of this data remotely. As of now, Windows Phone 7 is the only mobile operating system without this installed. However, if you really are concerned about any information your iOS device is sending to 'Carrier IQ', then you can head to Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > and select 'Don't Send.' In case you'd like to know what information is sent to 'Carrier IQ' if the above option is not disabled, here it is: CoreTelephony your phone number your carrier your country active phone calls (However, I only saw it noting that a phone call was active, not what number was dialed or it was received from. But, I am not going to claim it doesn't do that: it's certainly possible, but didn't see it.) CoreLocation your location (Only, however, if Location Services are enabled.)

iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource: Check Out Robin Williams’ Impersonation of Siri on Ellen [Video]

Check Out Robin Williams' Impersonation of Siri on Ellen [Video] Dec 1st 2011, 13:00 By Gary Ng on December 1st, 2011 0 Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. Robin Williams is one of those comedians that has wit as quick as lightning. During his appearance on Ellen in late November to promote his new movie Happy Feet Two, he gave his best impersonation of Siri, everybody's favourite personal assistant. When Ellen brought up the subject of Siri and the iPhone, Robin went off and did his 'thing'. I won't spoil it for you–check out the video below: Robin Williams noted he is 'fascinated' by the iPhone 4S and admitted he uses Siri often in a recent interview with Associated Press: AP: As a big technology buff, what gadgets or games are you into at the moment? Williams: I'm fascinated by the new iPhone. I bought it and kept trying to use it in France. "Siri, what is a good restaurant?" (In a robotic voice.) "I'm sorry, Robin. I can't give locations in France." "Why, Siri?" "I don't know." It's like she was upset with the French or something. "They seem to have an attitude I can't understand. Should I look for Germans, Robin?" Good ol' Robin Williams. [via Vic Gundotra] Gary Ng Founder and Editor-in-Chief of iPhoneinCanada.ca. Follow @iPhoneinCanada and on Google+.
