Apple’s New Operating System iOS 5 coming soon
Apples iOS 5 operating system has been previewed for the iphone,ipad and the ipod. And in less than a day it has been jailbroken by the iphone Dev team.
Now I own a iphone and I have never felt the need to jailbreak it, but if your wondering what jailbreaking is here’s a quick summary for you.
What does it mean to Jailbreak your iphone
The process of jailbreaking your iphone means that it can open up the device to do far more than apples operating system previously allows. Once your phone is jailbroken it can run apps and other software that has not been approved by the Apple Store. The process of opening up the iphone operating system has been around for years in fact ever since the first iphone came onto the market.
Should you jailbreak your iphone
To be honest I have been totally happy with my iphone and everything on it. I think Apple has done a great job with the iphone operating system, its stable and does what it says on the tin. But if you want to break away from Apple’s grip on your iphone then jailbreaking could be a way to go.
Sounds all a bit risky to me
In the past there was a risk of legal action, but that’s no longer a problem. The main risk is on a technical level. If you are allowing your phone to use third party, non-approved applications then this will carry the same risk as surfing the web. I know I’ve been in this situation, you download a program from the internet and think it looks ok, but after a while you come to realise that its stuffed full of malware and other nasty stuff. Well the same could happen to your iphone. With the average price of an app at 59p it doesn’t break the bank and you know its legit. And with so many free apps out there as well I really don’t see the point in trying to jailbreak your iphone.
Moshi Monsters now has 50 million members
If you have children then you may have heard about a website called Moshi Monsters. Its a popular childrens social network where they can play games, build
a house for their Moshi Monster and send messages to their friends.
The Founding British company based in East London has just signed up its 50 millionth member since starting Moshi monsters three years ago.
Michael Acton Smith is the brainchild behind Moshi Monsters and in the UK alone the site has signed up 13 million children, thats over half of the country’s
6 to 12 year olds.
It has been said that the service is widely considered as one of the most successful technology businesses to have emerged from East Londons tech hub for
years, it is expected to turn over £50 million by the end of this year.
The parent company of Moshi Monsters, Mind Candy was close to bankruptcy 3 years ago but with the invention of Moshi Monsters this has reversed thier
failing fortunes.
