Mobile technology: Mobile Spy


As we know , Technology can do incredible job, and there have a news was talking about Mobile Spy, and I found it from-Security NBCNEWS.com.
The title is " 'Mobile Spy' app may be open to, yep, spying.
Do you think it is cool, like we always imaging something that we may have saw it in the movie or in your dream. Anyway, here is what Mobile Spy do: It is designed to let its customers monitor the information, including text messages, GPS location and call logs, of other phones installed with the app. That private info is then uploaded to the app user's account and can be viewed in any Web browser, either on a computer or phone. 
Unfortunately for those doing the watching, Mobile Spy contains several srcurity vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to inject malicious code into the target's phone, via SMS message, and hijack their spy session, according to researchers at Vulnerability Lab, who disclosed the flaws.
Because the developers of Mobile Spy say it is available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone, the presence of a security glitch makes it a top target for exploitation.
To make things even more confusing, there are at least five separate Android apps in the Google Play store called "Mobile Spy," and none of them seem to be the one about which Vulnerability Lab issued its warning. Nor is there any app in the iTunes App Store by that name.
The Mobile Spy website states that iPhones must be jailbroken in order to install Mobile Spy, and hints that Android versions will need to be "side-loaded" from a PC. Usage licenses run from $50 for three months to $100 for a full year.
Anyone who jailbreaks an iPhone or sideloads Android apps is running a big security risk. And from the looks of the "Mobile Spy" apps that are in the official Google Play store, you probably shouldn't install them either.

Mobile Technology: Kindle Fire HD

 Mobile Technology: Kindle Fire HD


          Who would had ever imagined that we would be able to hold something in our hands that is like a book but without the weight or dog eared pages? In mobile technology today we have the access to the Kindle Fire. Ranging from $199 for 16 gig model and $249 for a 32 gig model. Seems kinda expensive but wouldn't that beat carrying around dozens of books in a book bag? With the Kindle Fire, it is a affordable one-stop device for reading Amazon books, magazines, streaming video, and playing music. Amazon provides support at their various stores and have more than enough content to keep customers entertained for the next 20 years. The display is very sharp and clear and has excellent viewing angles. The speakers are pretty incredible for just a 7 inch screen, followed by a battery life that will last. 
The only thing to remember is the Kindle Fire is not an Ipad so if reading books, magazines, streaming videos, and playing music is what you tend to do then the Kindle is for me what about you?

" The Obsession of the Iphone"

         On the 29th of June an advancement in mobile technology began. The Iphone costing around $600, had no physical keyboard, had limited email, and had no feature of copy and paste. Apply has now sold more than 217 million Iphones worldwide. In a study at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass, stated that "76 percent say they've experienced "phantom vibration," that insistent buzz from an imagined text or phone call".
        Scientists speculate it’s the result of random nerves firing, biochemical noise that our brains easily tuned out until they were reconditioned by the iPhone. According to Larry Rosen, a psychologist, professor, and author of iDisorder: Understand Our Obession with Technology and Overcoming Its Hold on Us, states " The Iphone has changed everything about how we related to technology, for both the good and the bad". In his research, nearly 30 percent of those born after the 80's, feel anxious if they can not check Facebook every few minutes. Others will catch themselves patting their pockets to make sure their smartphone is still there with them. He says, " The relief is not pleasurable," mean that is a sign of an obsession. Rosen also stated, " The great thing about the Iphone is that we carry it with us all day long" However, " the bad part is that we carry it with us all day long". By 2016 Cisco Systems predicts their will be more mobile devices than people.

With all this science and research do you see the Iphone or Iworld causing problems for society?
