Noisestash: Zendure, a tough battery that will keep your mobile devices juiced!

Zendure MacBook Pro
One of the biggest problems plaguing the first world is dead cellphone batteries. Nothing is worse than being out for a night on the town and seeing that low battery warning. Now you’ve gotta hunt down an outlet, and that’s assuming you even have your charger with you. Otherwise you’re stuck with a useless phone and nobody wants that.

Thankfully, external battery packs are a thing that exists. I even reviewed one for my iPhone a few years ago. They’re pretty useful for getting yourself out of a jam, but what if… you got run over by a car? Wouldn’t you want a battery that could stand up to those kind of rigors?

Famous last words? Instagram may never make it to BlackBerry 10

Windows Phone has long been criticized that their low rate of adoption from consumers is in large part due to the fact that they have not been able to get native apps from the biggest and most popular developers.

Windows Phone 7.5 beats iOS, Android in false certificate, MitM attacks

At the most recent Blackhat conference, the high-end information security meeting, mobile devices were put to the test with false certificates. Microsoft Exchange allows for IT departments to remotely lock or wipe devices, assuming the certificates check out. Well, that’s the theory. According to Peter Hannay, a security researcher, iOS and Android are both susceptible to a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack, allowing a hacker to send a … Continue reading Windows Phone 7.5 beats iOS, Android in false certificate, MitM attacks

Afternoon Roundup: Bored at work edition

So it’s a few hours after my first post, and I figured I’d give you another round of things to look at, contemplate or click on and ignore. Your choice.
