Another iPhone 5 design concept surfaces on the web by Antoine Brieux from NAK Studio which won’t surprise me a lot when it comes this fall. Apple must change the iPhone 5 design to bring a great number of customers as most of people now have an iPhone 4 and it’s very good.

The concept makes the iPhone 5 much simpler than older products as it’s a one body of metal edged off with two pieces of curved glass. Have fun with the gallery below:

Awesome, isn’t it?

Have you been invited to Google+? Well, I’ve already been invited and I think it’s awesome but Facebook gonna do something about this. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has today announced that Facebook is about to launch something awesome next week, Reuter reports.

Chief Executive and founder Mark Zuckerberg told reporters in a visit to Facebook’s Seattle office on Wednesday that the company planned to “launch something awesome” next week.

He said the project had been developed at the 40-person Seattle office, Facebook’s only major engineering center outside of its Palo Alto, California headquarters.

Reuters suggests that it may be the much-much-waited Facebook app for iPad. It could be also the photo-sharing app, something like Instagram or PicPlz. Reuters asked Facebook to comment but they prefered to keep this things private. May be a dislike button?

Thoughts?

Are you surprised? Yes that’s right we have got some news that the most-famous hacker Geohot behind LimeRa1n jailbreak tool which still used till our day to jailbreak iOS devices. Anyway he dissapeard for some time but today we found that George Hotz (aka Geohot) is actually working for Facebook since May, but why do you think Geohot is working for Facebook? Check Geohot Facebook profile below:


The come-back of Geohot to Facebook amazed all the Dev-Team members and especially P0sixninja who made a video talking about the come-back of Geohot again. Surprisingly, you can’t add Geohot on Facebook as there’s no “Add as a Friend” button. Interesting, isn’t it?

Now give us your thoughts about what kind of work is he doing for Facebook?

The most observant of you surely remember the words of Steve Jobs when, about a year ago, presented FaceTime, the new service from Apple that make video calls from the device IOS, at first only fourth-generation iPhone. With a little ‘amazement, it turned out, indeed it was the same Steve Jobs to announce that FaceTime would have been a feature WiFi only “throughout 2010. At the end of the fifth month of 2011, one wonders if the new iOS 5 things will change.

Certainly almost no one expected that FaceTime also on the 3G network could be introduced without a major upgrade of IOS, which could then update to match its new5.0 firmware that Apple will be presented June 6 on the stage of the Moscone Center during the Keynote d ‘ opening of the WWDC 2011.

Could FaceTime on 3G as one of five new IOS? Very likely. Technically, Apple could implement this function from the beginning. However, to ensure that users always have as an efficient and precise, he preferred to wait and launch FaceTime only WiFi to test primarily the use by users and also to assess the prevalence (FaceTime could initially be used only between 4 iPhone , then also on your Mac, iPod touch and fourth-generation iPad 2), which was limited by its need to be connected to a WiFi network for video calls another contact.

Apple has nevertheless proved to be very careful with regard to this technologyhas been improved with every new iPhone firmware update, both internally and through integration with other applications on Mac and implementing the new cam in HD on newer models models . Precisely for this reason, given also the good results obtained by FaceTime on 3G iPhone on jailbroken (thanks to programs such as 3G Unrestrictor available via Cydia), there would be no surprise that in 2011, just 5 with IOS, Apple will allow users to FaceTime is used in WiFi on 3G.

If this happens, Apple users could hypothetically video calls to each other completely free of charge. However, it remains to understand what might be the response of the Italian telephone operators faced with a similar solution that both recalls the VoIP, certainly not loved by some, and what the actual traffic flow data users.

Recalling the words of Steve Jobs ” FaceTime will only work on WiFi for 2010 “we are quite confident that Apple can implement iOS 5 video in the long-awaited 3G iPhone and iPad 2.

There is a new scam going on on Facebook right now, which involves you, your friends, and the yet to be released iPhone 5. Here is how it works. You see in your stream that one of your friends commented on an article titled “First Exposure: Apple iPhone 5.” Because your friend commented on it and because you really want to know about this iPhone 5, you click on the link as well.

You are then directed to a domain ending in .info (that should be a bad sign in itself), where you are asked to enter a captcha code to prove you are human. That should really be a second warning that this is not so legit…

After verifying that you aren’t a bot, a message is posted directly to your wall, notifying your friends that you have commented on the story. Your friends may or may not fall for it like you did. In the meanwhile, you are asked to fill out a survey to win some crappy prizes.

This technique is known as clickjacking. Although not as dangerous as a virus or spyware, it still acts on your behalf without your consent.

So really, watch out for what you click on. Sometimes a little good sense can go a long way.
