After banning the word 'jailbreak' from its app store and music library, Apple [Friday] reversed course and again permits the term — slang for hacking into a device to download unauthorized content — to appear on iTunes and its App Store. On Thursday bloggers noticed Apple had censored the word, using the Thin Lizzy album 'Jailbreak' as an example. For awhile, the title was listed as 'J******k' in Apple's music library, at least its U.S. version. In other instances, digital content continued to bear the full name Jailbreak

Unless you're lucky enough to live in Scandinavia, you'll have to wait till the end of summer to get yourCotton Candy fix. Aching to nab yourself a computer-on-a-stick before then? If you're willing to step down in specs, the Chinese-made MK802 could be the PC in your pocket. For $74 (versus $199 for the Cotton Candy), this 7-ounce device gives you a 1.5-GHz Allwinner A10 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage and, like the Cotton Candy, Android 4.0. FXI's version, on the other hand, packs a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos processor, and while the MK802 offers an HDMI port, the Cotton Candy includes an HDMI connector. The MK802 is slightly bulkier than its sweetly named competitor (3.5 inches vs. 3.1), but that Android logo on the front does wonders for its design cred. AliExpress.com is currently selling the MK802 with free shipping to the US -- click the source link for a gander.

"The malware business growing around Google Android — now the leading smartphone operating system — is still in its infancy. Today, many of the apps built to steal money from Android users originate from Russia and China, so criminal gangs there have become cyber-trailblazers. Sophos and Symantec on Wednesday released their latest Android malware discoveries written in Russian. While the language narrows the number of potential victims, the social-engineering tactics used to get Android users to install the malware is universal. The gang tracked by Sophos is using fake antivirus scanners, while Symantec is tracking cybercriminals using mobile websites to offer bogus versions of popular games. Sophos says the criminals are like other entrepreneurs launching startups. They're starting in Russia, but have far greater ambitions. 'I don't think we can say that they're necessarily using it as a testing ground — think of it more as a local business that as it grows may gain multinational ambitions,' Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, said in an email interview on Wednesday. The cyber scam tracked by Sophos was reported this week by GFI Lab, which discovered links to the bogus antivirus software on Twitter. Sophos dug deeper and found that the .ru domains pointed to the same Internet protocol address hosted in Ukraine."

[Buddhra] wanted to use a set of ear buds that also had a controller built into the wire. The headset he chose to go with is meant for use with iPod, but he figured it should be possible to make it work with Android too. He was right, and managed to alter the controller for Android use and still fit it into the original case.
He had already made a custom control module that has fast forward and rewind features and play/pause events. The signals used for the controls are based on resistive dividers. The play/pause button on the iLuv headset already worked, so he cracked the controller open to see why the forward and back buttons didn’t work. It turns out all he needed to do was add the right resistors to those buttons. Here you can almost see the 0603 surface mount packages he used to add a 220 Ohm resistor to the back button, and a 600 Ohm resistor to the forward switch.

Apple has rebutted a legal complaint about its Siri personal assistant by telling the plaintiffs that they should have returned their phones.
An American customer, who alleges that the advertisements for the service are misleading and deceptive, filed a lawsuit in March this year.
The complaint says that the ads, which show people making appointments, finding restaurants, looking up points of social etiquette and finding text messages are “contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri.â€
According to the Wall Street Journal, a motion to dismiss the case was filed by Apple’s attorneys, which reads:
“They offer only general descriptions of Apple’s advertisements, incomplete summaries of Apple’s website materials, and vague descriptions of their alleged – and highly individualized – disappointment with Siri. Tellingly, although Plaintiffs claim they became dissatisfied with Siri’s performance ‘soon after’ purchasing their iPhones, they made no attempt to avail themselves of Apple’s 30-day return policy or one-year warranty – which remains in effect.â€

The original Amazon's Kindle Fire was unveiled to great acclaim last Autumn and was widely hailed as the first viable competitor for iPad.
At first all looked good, with Q4 sales at an estimated 4.8m, but thenQ1 delivered just 700,000.
The tablet has still to be launched outside the US.
Now Reuters reports the Kindle Fire 2 is being readied for a Q4 launch in the US, and will sport an 8.9-inch screen, outmeasuring the original seven-inch Kindle Fire, while bringing it closer to the best-selling 9.7-inch iPad.

A poll of 30 banks and brokerages by Reuters revealed the cost of Nokia's debt rising, and that the firm is tearing through reserves at a rate that will wipe out its 4.9 billion euros reserves in a couple years.
Nokia has two bond issues outstanding: 1.25 billion euros of 5.5 per cent bonds maturing in 2014 and 500 million of 6.75 percent notes due in 2019.
They're are both junk-rated by Fitch and Standard & Poor's.
The article reflects a mixed attitude to Nokia's fortunes, with some analysts maintaining its reserves are large enough to see it through, while others are spooked by its burn rate.
"In our opinion, the company's ability to repay even its shorter-term 2014 bond could be an issue," said Societe General credit analyst Juliano Torii.

Now that iPhone 4Ss are in the hands of Apple fans across the globe, speculation has turned to what we can expect from the iPhone 5.
Both The Wall Street Journal and Reuters are reporting that Apple plans to use a larger screen on the next model of the popular smartphone.
Sources are claiming that the new screens will be four inches diagonally, compared to 3.5-inches now.
The firm is likely responding to competition that may not have quite the market presence of Apple, but do have significantly bigger screens – such as Samsung’s Galaxy line. Whilst many are waiting to see when Apple will lose its grip on the market, this move shows it is not complacent about current successes.
LG Display Co Ltd, Sharp Corp and Japan Display Inc are likely to produce the new screens, and rumours suggest the next iPhone could begin production as soon as this summer.

Ten times the current amount. Should put a strain on central London's 2.5 networks.
New stats from Informa Telecoms & Media estimates the value of the whole mobile biz will go from from $325.8 billion to $627.5 billion between 2011 and 2016. There will be a rise of 23 per cent in phone ownership overall.
And its data that's driving the rise, with traffic up from 3.89 trillion megabytes to 39.75 trillion megabytes.
The main uses of data will be web, P2P messaging and apps. Video streaming will consume one third of all bandwidth but only deliver one per cent of revs. Bit worrying.
Average users will consume 6.5 times as much video, over eight times as much music and social media, and nearly ten times as many games as in 2011.
Informa reckons the average number of text messages sent in a month will go from 118 now to 146 in four years.

Broadcasters resolve legal differences for the sake of Jersey Shore fans.
Viacom – parent network of MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon – and Time Warner Cable have ended their ongoing lawsuits, which begun over a year ago.
The differences arose when TWC planned to introduce Viacom TV shows to subscribers via its iPad app to allow streaming on the move, similar to the UK's Sky Go service.
Now, the broadcasters have released a joint statement to say: "All of Viacom’s programming will now be available to Time Warner Cable subscribers for in-home viewing via internet protocol-enabled devices such as iPads."
Additionally, the pair claim to have resolved other issues to their mutual satisfaction.

It's seldom the case that we get to look at world smartphone market share on a national level, but Kantar WorldPanel has given a rare peek that might give Windows Phone fans some good news to crow about. Even though things haven't always gone well for the Microsoft camp, Nokia phones like the Lumia 800sparked a minor Renaissance in some countries in the three months leading up to mid-April: Windows Phone was up to between three and four percent in France, Italy, the UK and the US. The Metro interface must also be sehr gut for Germans, which nearly doubled Windows Phone's local share to six percent in that short space of time.
Kantar is eager to point out that it's still mostly a tale of Android and iOS successes, though. Google took extra ground in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and the US, while Apple was on a tear both on its native soil and in the UK. HTC's upbeat predictions may have played a significant part in Android's continued rise -- the One X cracked the British top 10 list despite having only been in shops for a few days. About the only underdog story not going well in early spring was RIM's, where the BlackBerry's share of the US was cut to a third of its year-ago glory at three percent.

The creator of Dragon Shout, a free iOS app containing a hand-drawn map for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, has been sent a copyright infringement notice by ZeniMax Media, parent company of publisher Bethesda.
The move follows ZeniMax's threat of legal action against Mojang, developer of Minecraft, last year. Touch Arcade reports that the app creator, known only as Blalock, has not been ordered by Apple to remove his work from the App Store because "ZeniMax didn't specify what the app is specifically violating.
"I did my best to ensure the app was not violating anything," he said. "I looked up US trademarks and copyrights for 'Dragon Shout' and at the time there [weren't] any. I had the map hand-drawn.
"I intentionally didn't use any graphics or wording that would possibly be owned by Bethesda. So, I'm still not sure what they say the app violates."
It sounds harsh, but ZeniMax is known for protecting its brands. Its chief complaint against Mojang's upcoming card game, Scrolls, was that customers would confuse it with The Elder Scrolls, and given that Dragon Shout is solely focused on Skyrim, the same logic could be applied: users might naturally assume that the app is the work of the game's creators. It should be noted, too, that the app's full title is given on iTunes as Dragon Shout For Skyrim, drawing a clear line between it and Bethesda's sprawling RPG.
Last month ZeniMax filed a number of trademarks in a bid to shore up its ownership of Skryim's signature dragon shout, 'Fus Ro Dah', presumably with the intent of cracking down on the array of unofficial Skyrim merchandise available on the internet, much of which riffs on the phrase.

[Rob Morris] has been hard at working improving his guitar augmentation techniques. Here he’s demonstrating . This builds on the work he shared a few years ago where he strapped a Wii remote to the body of his ax.
Just like the Wii remote, the iPhone includes an accelerometer. As you would expect the best parts of the older hack made it into this one, but the inclusion of the touch screen adds a lot more. In the clip after the break he starts by showing off the screen controlling a whammy bar functionality. But we really love the octave offset feature that comes next. This kind of sound manipulation simply can’t be done using a purely physical method (like the whammy bar can). But he’s not done yet. The demo finishes with a Theremin feature. You’ll notice he plucks a string but no sound comes out until he starts touching the screen. This turns it into an entirely different type of instrument.
The only info we have about putting this together is the list of packages he’s using: TouchOSC, Max/Msp, and GuitarRig

CWmike writes with news of a significant change in Google's strategy for Android. According to a Wall Street Journal report, "Google plans to give multiple mobile-device makers early access to new releases of Android and to sell those devices directly to consumers, said people familiar with the matter. That is a shift from Google's previous practice, when it joined with only one hardware maker at a time to produce 'lead devices,' before releasing the software to other device makers. Those lead devices were then sold to consumers through wireless carriers or retailers." JR Raphael adds, "Signs of something big have been brewing in AndroidLand for some time now: First, we've had the increasingly loud buzz about Google's top-secret mission to build an inexpensive Nexus-like tablet. Then, last month, Google opened the door to selling unlocked Nexus devices directly to consumers, eliminating the need for carrier meddling and contract commitments. Now, at long last, we're getting a glimpse at what's likely the final piece of the puzzle

Google is set to alter the market strategy for the Android operating system according to a Wall Street Journal report, providing early access to the latest Android OS builds to more handset makers.
Traditionally Google has partnered with one handset manufacturer (and one type of SoC processor) for each generation of Google-branded 'Nexus' phone. The scheme is intended to provide a benchmark reference Android phone that grounds third-party versions and hopefully avoids extensive delays in upgrades and excessive mobile operator meddling with OS features.Arguably that hasn't worked out too well with massive delays in Android OS upgrades still plaguing many of the world's smartphones, even those sold as recently as last year. The Journal claims that Google is set to provide early code to many more manufacturers.
Google will now work with up to five handset makers, suggesting a raft of Nexus-branded phones rather than one 'hero' device. In addition the devices are going to be sold directly by Google, off contract. The initiative is also aimed at reviving the flagging fortunes of Android tablets which have so far failed to make much of an impact against the rampaging sales of Apple's iPad.
Google is gambling that there's a good deal of punters that will fork out hundreds extra to buy unlocked, off-contract devices. That seems a reasonable bet for tablets, since much of the market isn't convinced by cellular data-equipped tablets with their monthly charges. However it remains to be seen if it will make much of an impact in the smartphone market where most customers buy phones for very little up front in order at the expensive of being locked into contracts.
Even if most punters continue to buy phones from the carriers, Google's Nexus-branded phones have been fairly popular handsets sold by the carriers anyway. With more devices, more differentiation will be possible - raising the possibility of a Nexus-branded phone that might actually fit in the hand of the fairer sex, for example, or dare-we-say it, a Nexus phone with a battery good for more than a day?
Google is widely expected to launch at least one Nexus-branded Android tablet at the internet giant's Google IO conference in San Francisco at the end of June.
Rumours of Nexus tablets have been fairly thick on the ground with the most frequent one suggesting that a budget 7-inch Asus-made Android 4.0 tablet could cost as little as US$200 to $250. More recently another tablet has come to light based on notes in recent check-ins to the open source Android OS.
The Samsung tablet would be based on a new Exynos 5250 SoC with the latest A15 ARM CPUs and a faster Mali T-604 graphics part. These specifications hint at a high-performance Android tablet that might be seen as a more direct competitor to the iPad.
So perhaps Google IO will be the launch point for Google's multiple-Nexus strategy with a cheap 7-inch tablet made by Asus and a beefier, larger model made by Samsung? We'll have to see.

Infographic demonstrates the effect the tech will have on the app space.
Analyst IDC has released an infographic on HTML5 that says one billion mobile web browsers will be compatible with the tech next year.
Meanwhile, HTML5 web developers will hit two million as 79 per cent of mobile app developers look to use the platform this year.
This will push more than 80 per cent of mobile apps to incorporate the tech by 2015.
The Financial Times has been a key mover in the space, launching a HTML5 web app after become enraged by Apple's App Store charges, which now has two million users.
