Apple iPhone went on sale on June 29th, 2007; that’s five years to the day. Yes, it is five years old, and I am using it again just for today.
I am looking forward to the next iPhone which will be unveiled in 3 months.
Google Drive for iOS.
Google Drive for iOS is now available at the App Store.
Google Drive comes with 5 GB of free storage. Additional 25 GB of storage for Drive and Picasa costs $24.99/year. The additional storage is also available through in-app-purchase; that means Apple is getting $7.50 for each upgrade through the app.
Google drive is also available for Android, Mac and Windows OS.
Google Chrome for iOS.
Google Chrome for iOS is now available at the App Store.
John Gruber noted that Google Chrome for iOS does not use Google’s own rendering or Javascript engine. One of main features of Google Chrome is the ability to sync across devices. Google Chrome is also available for Android, Linux, Mac and Windows OS.
WordPress 3.4.1
WordPress 3.4.1 is now available.
One interesting point from the release note:
- Adds early support for uploading images on iOS 6 devices.
I bet there are significant numbers of iOS developers running their own WordPress site.
For those who are running their own WordPress installation, what are you waiting for besides making sure all the plugins are compatible?

Securing your Wireless Access Point.
There are many reasons why you should secure your Wireless Access Point (WAP). We were informed that an 86 year old woman received a Notice of Copyright Infringement by the ISP for downloading a Pokemon game through BitTorrent. How can an 86 year old woman be downloading Pokemon game through BitTorrent? Upon investigation, the 86 year old woman had an unsecured wireless network which she uses to connect her iPad. It is the likely scenario that an unknown individual was using her wireless network to download the Pokemon game.
Since then the wireless network has been secured with WPA2 encryption.
