Did you notice that the figures are 71% of web deliverd malware was for android users and 14% for iOs users. Its not 71% of android users and 14% of iOS users. What is the ratio of android users to iOS users? However the 99% figure for targeting Android is alarming.

A lot of people blaming the parents here! The story is about how ridiculous the cost of in-app purchases is. Yes, you can prevent it by not having a credit card on the account but that was not the point of the article. Have you ever made a mistake? Is there a lack of empathy here? In-App...

One thing you can say for iOS 7 - it has inspired a lot of people to join this forum! How many first posts have been made on this topic? I like iOS 7 and I get car sick driving round the block!

You avoided mentioning Mythbusters! Hopefully no one is going to flame you for it! To those criticising others about not being able to turn off their device for five minutes... That is called playing the man and not the ball.

There is zero chance of emissions from mobile devices affecting an aircraft. However it is obvious from the responses here that a lot of people still believe it is. We all watch too many Movies. There are lots of shows that show what really happens. Mythbusters does a fairly good job most of the...

Reseting just restores it to factory settings. It will be fine. I am sure you can get iOS 5.1 for it still. When I replaced my iPad 2 (with a new iPad 2 as it had a failed battery) I reset my old one to factory settings before giving it to Apple. It just reset back to the original iOS setup...

Yes it is (I do) and I checked - the Guided Access option is available.

The battery in my iPad 2 swelled and caused the screen to start to seperate from the back as well as slightly bowing. It was 19 months old and I took it to the Apple Store where they replaced it for $109 rather then the $279 they normally charge as it was clearly a battery fault.

One method of ad blocking is to edit the hosts file and set all the ad sites to localhost. I know one person who does that to block ads in apps on android. Ad blockers work in a number of ways - some prevent the connection and others simply stop the display. Ad blockers on firefox can use the...

You may be right but the article said the data comes from contact with its ad network. If you block the ads does that still count as contact? It is hard to believe that the other tablet users do not use a browser. Is the iPad market share 81%?

I just got my iPad 2 replaced by Apple ($109 as the battery was bad - it was swelling up and pushing the screen up). Anyway I used a screen protector for a year as I found myself spending a minute cleaning the screen every time before using the iPad. However this time I did not put one on and I...

I prefer Seagate to WD because Seagate have a local address to send the drives to rather then having to send them to Singapore ($10 to Sydney or $30 to Singapore).

The other tablet users will have ad blockers

I am surprised that people are surprised at this story. I would not expect a parcel left on my doorstep to be safe. Couriers / postmen do not normally leave parcels if they don;t fit in the mailbox - they leave a card. Perhaps it is the small town versus city mentality. Also how many people...

You can try CopyTrans Manager or Media monkey. I have used CopyTrans to get files from an ipod. It should work for the music and pictures.
