An American woman is suing US Customs and Border Protection over what she claims is the illegal seizure and search of her iPhone at Newark airport … The BBC reports that agents asked her to unlock the phone at Immigration, and retained it when she refused to do so. The complaint alleges that the seizure and search were illegal. Her iPhone was seized by agents after she refused to unlock it for them […] According to legal documents, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) kept the phone for more than 120 days before returning it to Ms Lazoja […]...

Requirements and system Setup In order to follow along with the fuzzing exercises in this article, you will need two networked systems – one Windows system (Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7) running the vulnerable application Vulnserver which will act as our fuzzing target, and one Linux system to perform the fuzzing using SPIKE. I recommend using a copy of BackTrack 4 Final or later as your Linux system, as all of the software that we require to perform our fuzzing work comes already included....

While noting its March numbers indicate continued growth for the iPhone’s marketshare, Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley (via AllThingsD) said the iPhone is currently outselling “all other smartphones” at both AT&T and Sprint together. He also said Verizon is selling roughly as many iPhones as all Android phones combined: Canaccord’s month-over-month comparison of the top three selling smartphones on the four biggest carriers shows Samsung’s Galaxy S II right behind the iPhone 4S since December on AT&T and Sprint, and the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Razr lineup is not far behind on Verizon....

We’ve already seen teardowns of the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2, but a rather brutal teardown by Vietnamese site Tinhte has given us our first look at the rather astonishing amount of technology packed inside Apple’s deceptively simple-looking 3.5mm-to-Lightning adapter. There had been some speculation about whether Apple had managed to squeeze a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) into it or whether the company would instead find a way to do simple pass-through audio....

An Apple patent application published today describes how a truly smart home could configure itself. Anyone who has ever set up new smart home devices will know that, even with HomeKit, it can be a fiddly and sometimes frustrating experience. When you add a physical smart light switch, for example, telling the app which light(s) it controls isn’t the most user-friendly of experiences… The patent application is a dense one, and has the prosaic title ‘Object tracking and authentication using modular wall units....

Snake actually has an ending I never knew this. I don’t think many people did, but you can actually complete Snake. You know, that old cellphone game? Yeah. I always figured it kept going until it was impossible to go further. That’s not the case. There is an ending, and a quick ending screen. You can see it in the gif above. Link BioShock Infinite as a text adventure If you’ve ever wanted to see what BioShock would play like as a text adventure (I know I haven’t, but whatever....

Adobe just took the wraps off the iOS version of Adobe Reader, which admittedly doesn’t bring much functionality we don’t already have with third-party apps. Either way it’s a welcome addition to their iOS app lineup and could possibly have the potential to be more than just a reader down the road. The app allows you to read and share PDFs from your email, the web, or any other third-party app that supports “Open In”– pretty straight forward....

Since the landfall of Hurricane Michael last week, Verizon has been under scrutiny for its seemingly poor efforts to restore service in the Florida Panhandle. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and Florida Governor Rick Scott have both slammed Verizon’s response to the disaster, while Scott has praised AT&T’s efforts. Now, Verizon is responding to those concerns. In a statement this afternoon, Verizon executive Ronan Dunne said that “every Verizon customer in Bay and Gulf counties” will automatically receive a 3 month credit for each line of mobile service....

On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. you will not be able to find one character who hasn’t undergone a huge character development. Ward went from hero to zero, May became one of the kindest individuals you would ever meet, and Daisy became one of the most powerful superheroes in the MCU. However, that’s not to say the other agents have had an easy time as the likes of Fitz-Simmons, Coulson, and Elena have all had to adapt after going through tragedy....

Beyond that, the chipmaker said architecture work has begun on Celestial, its third-gen CPU, that will appeal to the ultra-enthusiast segment. Intel also said it is planning a new service to deliver access to Intel Arc GPUs for an “always-accessible, low-latency computing experience.” The service, currently called Project Endgame, should be available later this year. All told, Intel expects to ship more than 4 million discrete GPUs in 2022. Intel previously revealed that first-gen Arc consumer graphics products, code-named Alchemist, will have hardware-based ray tracing, use artificial intelligence to power super sampling, and have support for DirectX 12 Ultimate....

Norton Mobile Security includes several groovy features including Anti-Theft, Anti-malware, call blocking, and web protection. Norton says that its software can find your phone when you lose it, lock your phone if you think it’s stolen, and protect you from unwanted calls or texts. It sounds good in theory, but from a free Norton app, is it too good to be true? According to my testing…. yes. The first screen you see when loading the Norton Mobile Security app shows right away that half of the features advertised won’t be available unless you upgrade to the “Full Version....

We first heard a report of an ‘entry-level’ 13-inch MacBook back in January. That was backed by Ming-Chi Kuo in March, who suggested that it would be branded as a new MacBook Air … A couple of reports suggested that the machine would debut in June, which obviously didn’t happen. What’s been reported so far is that the machine would have a lower price than the current MacBook Air, which starts at $999, and have a Retina display....

Everyone has their regrets in life from time to time, but only a very select few could ever rank appearing in a Star Wars movie among them. Star Wars is arguably the biggest movie franchise of all time. To feature in one of these films is to enshrine oneself in the very fabric of a movie universe that may well end up outliving us all. Even so, it has ended up being a thorn in the side of many a career and a source of constant remorse among those fabled few....
