![Oracle Releases Java 7 Update 11 To Address Security Vulnerability [Updated]](http://cdn.iphonehacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/java-194x129.jpg)
Oracle has just released Java 7 Update 11 to address the vulnerability, which we reported on Friday.
The security vulnerability could allow the installation of malicious software and malware on machines that could increase the chance of identity theft, or the unauthorized participation in a botnet that could bring down networks or be used to carry out denial-of-service attacks against Web sites.
Earlier this week I posted about an ingenious person getting Rhapsody OS to run on a jailbroken Microsoft Surface Tablet (Surface RT, it should be noted). I also mentioned how Microsoft appeared to be generally okay with the hack (only for the time being it turns out), commenter Kraken followed up on this idea and I thought I’d dig into the topic a little more.
AirPrint is pretty cool, if you have an AirPrint-enabled printer that is. My mom happens to have one and when I’m at her house printing is a piece of cake. At home, however, I don’t have an AirPrint printer and sometimes I do need or want to print things from my my iPhone or iPad, so want can I do? Several things, in fact.
We’ve covered many of Don Melton’s posts about the birth of Safari (I’m really tempted to switch back from Chrome…just because), from how it got its name to how engineers hid it in plain sight during its development. Today Don talks about the day Steve Jobs took the wraps off Apple’s own browser.
We (sorta) know how Safari got its name, but during the time it was being developed, how did we not know about it? Heck we think we know Apple is working on iOS 7 (and OS X 10.9) through our server logs, how did we miss Safari? Simple, the developers hid it in plain sight.
Lots of sites are looking back at 2012 to review the year gone by, but while there is no doubt it’s been a pretty exciting year, I thought I’d start with a look at the year to come and make a few arm waving predictions about what we might see. Well, a few arm waving predictions and a good number of pretty sure bets as well.
Just breaking via TNW, a new Trojan named “Trojan.SMSSend.3666″ has been found by the security firm Doctor Web. The fake installer asks the victim to put in their mobile number to receive a code. This, then triggers an automatic subscription fee tacked onto the users’ account. While these fake installers are common for Windows users, this is the first time one has been found for Macs.
