Good news for humorists–a dedicated mobile app for comedic video site Funny or Die will be coming to your iPhone, eventually. Web content platform Babelgum announced on Thursday an exclusive wireless deal with Funny or Die to bring videos from the latter to mobile applications like the iPhone. Look for a Funny or Die app to hit Apple’s iPhone App Store sometime in the near future, though Babelgum hasn’t yet revealed when it plans to submit the software to Apple. The license agreement also allows Babelgum to integrate Funny or Die videos into the comedy channel of Babelgum apps. Babelgum, which streams videos in film, music, and other categories, says it will also feature a Funny or Die section on its online comedy channel. The exclusive wireless partnership between the two companies will last for two years. Note: Funny or Die features some video clips with mature themes.
A massive security flaw has been found in the iPhone which would allow a hacker to “take over every iPhone in the world” security research Charles Miller said. The flaw exploits how the iPhone handles text messages and once hijacked, that iPhone could hijack other iPhones within that user’s contact list. The security hole was found by Charles Miller, a well known iPhone security researcher and another unnamed researcher. While they are the only ones who know about this at the time, the pair contacted Apple over a month ago but the Cupertino based company never responded. It will make its debut at the Blackhat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas tomorrow. If you receive a text message containing a single square character, immediately turn off your iPhone and deactivate it until a public fix is revealed. “This is serious. The only thing you can do to prevent it is turn off your phone,” said cybersecurity researcher Charles Miller. “Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world with this.” Via: Everything iCafe Original source: feedproxy.google.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru
