Apple will announce iPhone 5S on 20th June(Source--absinthejailbreak)


Apple will announce iPhone 5S on 20th June – We have already heard many rumors about the release of iPhone 5S in the second quarter, but none of them have told the exact date of release. We can assume that Apple is reverting back to its Mid-year product release Cycle. If we recall the release of iPhone 3G, 3Gs and iPhone 4, all of them were released in the second quarters but Apple changed their strategy towards the release of iPhone 4S and it was released in October. However, iPhone 5 was released in the September of the very next year. But now, it seems that Apple is either going to release the two iPhones every year or probably revert back to mid-year release.

iOS 6.1.3 Jailbreak To be Released by P0sixninja - After working hard for days and even months, Evad3rs were able to release the Jailbreak tool, called Evasi0n to Jailbreak iOS 6 on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Recently, Apple released iOS 6.1.3 to fix the Lockscreen bug and patch the Evasi0n Jailbreak. Indeed, this is a sad news for all Jailbreak community because Evasi0n doesn’t work with the latest release of iOS. In an interview, Planetbeing told that more than six vulnerabilities were fixed in the iOS 6.1.3 making Evasi0n useless.

iOS 6.1.3 Jailbreak To be Released by P0sixninja
Well, we have a great news for all our readers, as Evasi0n couldn’t find any other vulnerabilities in iOS 6.1.3, but someone from Chronic Dev Team has done this task. The famous iOS hacker, Joshua Hill aka p0sixninja has found vulnerabilities to Jailbreak the iOS 6.1.3 and the even good news is that Hacker has found the exploits by his own. The hacker was working for several months to collect the exploits to make a Jailbreak software. In the other news, p0sixninja told that Evad3rs is not going anywhere and he is just collecting his exploits to make a Jailbreak to be used in the near future.
It is not clear yet that weather he will use this exploits for iOS 6 or will wait for the release of iOS 7. iOS 7 will be announced in the second quarter of the 2013, but will be released with the next generation of iPhone. We hope that we will not have to wait so long for the release of Jailbreak for iOS 7.

Apple Reportedly Cuts iPad mini Shipments by 20% For Q2 2013 (source--iphonehacks)


ipad_mini-2
Taiwanese publication, DigiTimes reports that according to their supply chain sources, Apple has cut shipments of iPad mini for the second quarter of 2013.
The report notes that the cut could be as much as 20% in April, and will continue to decrease throughout the quarter.
From DigiTimes reports:
Apple has reportedly cut its shipments of the iPad mini to between 10-12 million units for the second quarter of 2013, according to industry sources. The figure is based on shipment information given from multiple sources who provide various components for Apple’s iPad mini.
The decrease may be as high as 20% on month during April, the sources noted, and may continue to slightly decrease throughout the quarter to bring total shipments of the iPad mini to as low as 10 million units during the quarter.
According to the report, the cut is because of increased competition from 7-inch Android tablets.
It is also possible that Apple is gearing up for the launch of the next generation iPad mini. According to the latest rumors, Apple may launch the iPad mini 2 along with the iPad 5 in April.
It will be interesting to see if Apple continues to sell the first generation iPad mini with iPad mini 2, a strategy it has successfully used for the iPhone and the full-sized iPad. If Apple sells the 1st generation iPad mini for $249, I’m quite sure it will sell like hot cake

13 year old UK boy accidentally generated $5600 bill from in-app purchases(source--absinthejailbreak)


13 year old UK boy accidentally generated $5600 bill from in-app purchases – One of the new features introduced in iOS 5 were restriction options in the settings panel, which lets you block the usage of different applications, and the purchasing of App Store and iTunes contents. This feature is very useful for parents, allowing them to prohibit purchases of unwanted content from the App Store. However, parents may forget to enable the restrictions, which can lead to very serious consequences.

13 year old UK boy accidentally generated $5600 bill from in-app purchases

Recently, such a misunderstanding took place and the son of a policeman in the UK purchased $5600 worth of content from the iOS App Store.
13 year old UK boy accidentally generated $5600 bill from in-app purchases
Earlier this month, a 5 year old UK boy made multiple in-app purchases which generated a bill of $2500, in a mere 15 minutes. Apple refunded all money to that child’s parents – but the situation was different when father of Doug Crossan contacted Apple, and said that his son had mistakenly made multiple in-app purchases: Apple refused to refund the $5600.
This news was reported by the DailyMail, who asked 13 year old Crossan about the incident. He responded, “I thought, I wasn’t charging for them”.
According to the DailyMail, about 300 transactions were made by the boy, who purchased Plants VS Zombies, Gun Builder, Hungry Shark and Nova 3. Most of the transactions were related to in-app purchases.
Crossan’s father called the national Action Fraud helpline, in the hopes of getting his money back from Apple. Unfortunately, attempting to get his money back, Mr. Crossan has inadvertently idicted his son for fraud, and Crossan now faces the possibility of arrest, and questioning by detectives.
This, of course, was not the intention of Mr. Crossan, who stated “I am sure Cameron had no intention to do it.”
What do you think about this silly mistake? And, have you enabled the Parental Guidance on your iDevice? Let us know in the comments section below.

Take care of your heart


                               
There was a time when no one thought about their own heart(everyone care about there life patner's heart lol ) health unless they had a close call. After having chest pains or even a heart attack, a doctor might suggest steps to take and then people would begin to change their lives. Now, it has become increasingly obvious that the time to think about these issues is before problems develop. 

Exercise regularly. 
A regular workout is good for your heart as well as your waistline. You do not have to bench press heavy weights or run marathons. Anything that will elevate your heart rate to a good target level should be sufficient. The right level for good heart health should be somewhere between your resting heart rate and your maximum heart rate. A good rule of thumb is that if you can converse as you exercise, you are not overdoing it.
Eat colorful, 
low-fat meals. Adding color to your meals will give you a lot of nutrition to help you maintain good heart health. If you eat an assortment of colors of vegetables and fruits, you will be getting a variety of vitamins and minerals too. As you concentrate on produce as a key element in your diet, remember that these foods should not be drowned in heavy fats. Accompany them with fish or lean chicken for a low-fat meal.
Get good sleep
Getting enough rest is vital to good heart health. A strong correlation seems to exist between a lack of sleep and developing certain heart conditions. It appears that 7 to 8 hours is about right, while 5 or less can be harmful. Even sleeping too much may be a heart risk. Do yourself a favor and get just the right amount of sleep. If you think you have a sleep disorder, this is a great reason to get help with it.
Reduce your stress.
Stress not only creates problems within your body, such as dangerously elevated levels of certain hormones; it also may contribute to how you manage your other risks. When you are under stress, you are not so focused on what you will eat, how you will exercise, and other habits you might have. You can improve your health by learning to meditate, pray, or just plain relax.
Take fish oil supplements.
Omega-3 fish oil supplements have been shown to help with certain aspects of heart health. If your triglycerides are high, it can be a precursor to heart problems if not treated. Omega-3 fish oil supplements can lower those triglycerides significantly or keep them at a healthy level. Omega-3 has also been shown to help by reducing arrhythmias and decreasing plaque in the circulatory system.
Try garlic supplements
You may or may not decide to use them as a part of your daily regimen. The evidence on whether garlic helps your heart is mixed. It seems to lower blood cholesterol somewhat, and may lower blood pressure. It can be helpful, and many people have seen good results from using it. It is not a dangerous substance by any means so it would not hurt to try.
Get supplements
You can get a supplement containing plant sterols. Plant sterols are well known for their ability to maintain low cholesterol levels. They work by imitating cholesterol and preventing its absorption into the body. They can be found added to certain foods or in capsule form as supplements
