Apple Watch Design Guidelines.

 What You Should Have Known Already.


If you are one of the many individuals who believe that the Apple Watch was designed with the sole intent of making all other Apple products obsolete in nature, you may want to think again. The intent of the Apple Watch is to simply provide an alternative device in terms of weight and accessibility. This specific watch will definitely allow you to make the most of your time, especially with the state-of-the-art smart screen.
The screen of the Apple Watch is available in two different sizes: 38 millimeters and 42 millimeters. As expected, the screen is touch-sensitive, though actual gestures are not supported; however, the Apple Watch screen is able to differentiate between taps and holds thanks to the pressure-sensitive setting that the screen contains.
A digital crown on the watch’s side acts as a form of scrolling up and/or down in order to allow the user to not have to continuously touch the screen. The crown can also work for pressing buttons and zooming in and out of the screen.

HOW TO USE SIRI ON YOUR LAPTOP IN MACOS SIERRA.

APPLE PUT YOUR FAVORITE VOICE COMMAND ASSISTANT ON YOUR COMPUTER


Here's our guide on how to use Siri for the MacBook series in macOS Sierra version 10.12. For our complete guide to using macOS Sierra, head over here.

Siri got another upgrade

Apple's voice-activated virtual assistant Siri got a boost in iOS 10, but it doesn’t stop there. After updating your Mac to the latest version of the new operating system, macOS Sierra, Siri appears automatically on your home dock. You can remove it from the dock if you want, but Siri is fun to use and can actually help you out.
To get Siri to pop up, all you have to do is click the icon on the dock. Siri appears in the top right corner of your screen, asks her usual “What can I help you with?”, and waits for you to say something. If you don’t, Siri provides a list of sample questions that you can ask, as seen above.
Simply speak your request and Siri will tell you what it finds in a menu on the right-hand side of your screen. If you ask it about this publication, for example, it will provide you with this information:
If you ask Siri to play music, it’ll automatically play what you want, so long as it recognizes your speech correctly. I asked it to play “Frank Ocean’s Nikes,” which it picked up as “Frank Ocean’s 90’s” before quickly correcting to Nikes and playing the song for which I asked.
Siri can help you get directions, put dates into your calendar, send emails, search your files and more. Your old voice-recognition buddy moved in and can potentially be a super helpful tool on your laptop or desktop.

Kids toys are getting more creative with technology.


Sure, kids can pick up a tablet or smartphone, but the true innovative toys are those that combine high tech and simplicity. The Moff band collaboration with Pac-Man is a perfect example of this. Kids wear the Moff band and swing their arms to play Pac-Man through an app — making them physically active while using a smartphone or tablet.

Just 24 Hours! Teen Hacker Jailbreaks Apple iPhone 7



Short Bytes: Not even a month has passed since the release of the Apple iPhone 7 and the iOS 10. And, a 19-year-old hacker, known as qwertyoruiop, has managed to jailbreak the iPhone 7 in just 24 hours. He tweeted the screenshot evidence of the jailbreak. However, he won’t be disclosing the jailbreak process until Apple releases the relevant patches.
Jailbreaking iPhones has been there since the time of the original iPhone. In 2007, George Hotz (Geohot), an American hacker jailbroke the original iPhone. His motivation was to remove carrier restrictions from the device. Nowadays, you don’t have to be a hacker to jailbreak your iOS device. We have advanced, easy-to-use and completely untethered jailbreaks.
Luca Todesco (qwertyoruiop), has managed to jailbreak the new iPhone 7. It took him around 24 hours to exploit some bugs and vulnerabilities in the iOS 10 running on the iPhone 7. He was able to gain “root” privileges on the Apple device.
“They definitely made my life harder,” he told Motherboard. “The iPhone 7 is a step in the right direction. Obviously, it’s not 100 percent secure—like nothing else is.”
Todesco won’t be revealing how he jailbroke the iPhone 7 until Apple releases a patch for the vulnerabilities. He is planning to submit his finding in Apple’s bug bounty program. Till then, he will work on making the jailbreak smoother.
It is believed that Todesco is the first person to have successfully jailbroken the iPhone 7 but other people will figure out the method soon. It’s possible, some people might’ve done that already but they haven’t revealed their findings.
“I don’t but given his track record, I wouldn’t be surprised,” an Apple spokesperson said when asked if Apple knows whether Todesco’s jailbreak is legit.
Todesco is not a first-time jailbreaker. He is a renowned and trusted name in the bug hunter community. In August, he jailbroke the iPhone 6S running iOS 9.3.4 and tweeted the image.
