0
The Loop reports that Apple has finally confirmed the long-awaited media event. Apple has scheduled a press conference next Tuesday, October 4. that new Apple CEO Tim Cook will deliver the presentation, a first for Cook in his new CEO role.
According to the invitation received by The Loop, the event will be held on October 4 at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif. campus. The event will begin at 10:00 am PT.
Apple’s next iPhone is expected to sport a dual-core A5 chip, 1GB of RAM, twice as much as the iPhone 4′s A4 chip. Camera will be upgraded to eight megapixels with a backlit sensor with ability to shoot Panorama photos. Other additions include a Qualcomm Gobi baseband chip that support dual network GSM and CDMA.
One of the coolest addition that probably will be an iPhone 5 exclusive is the new voice activated feature called Assistant, after Apple’s acquisition of Siri, a search intelligence startup by Nuance technology. The “Let’s talk iPhone” tagline surely hints at this feature.

How To Enable Facebook Timeline Right Now
0
This morning Facebook announced Timeline, a look at everything that has ever happened in your Facebook lifespan. It’s like a story book of your life. Although the feature has been announced, it is not yet available to the public – only developers can get access.
Things to consider:
- You probably don’t want to do this unless you’re actually a developer. Expect bugs.
- Only you will see your timeline at first (unless you decide otherwise), but it will automatically go public after a few days. My timeline was automatically hard-set to go public on September 29th.
- It seems that if you login into Facebook on another machine, Timeline gets disabled automatically on all of your machines. With that said, it seems you can get back to your timeline (but ONLY after following the steps below) by navigating to http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
- You’ll need to have a “verified” account for one of the steps, which means you need a credit card or phone number attached to the account.
How to enable it:
Step 1: Log in to Facebook.
Step 2: You will need to enable developer mode if you haven’t already. Simply type “Developer” in the search box and click on the top result.
Step 3: Go to the developer app, which can be found here should Facebook not automatically redirect you.
Step 4: Create a new app (don’t fret, nobody will be able to see it), and give it a name and namespace (no CAPS allowed with the namespace).
Step 5: Once that’s done, click on the “Get Started using open graph” under the “Open Graph” header.
Step 6: You will then be asked to create a test action for your app, like “read” a “book”.
Step 7: Next, you’ll be met with a config page of your selected action. Navigate through that page and the next three pages of settings.
Step 8: Once you have gone through the last page and hit “Save and Finish”, after a couple of minutes, an invite to try Timeline should appear at the top of your homescreen.
Click it, and you will be met with a page which seemingly covers every story of your Facebook life since the day you joined. Enjoy!

Hacker Group Anonymous Plans A Series Of Cyber Attacks on Sept 24
0
Hacktivist group Anonymous have been busy this year. The group issued a press release this morning announcing that they and other groups will protest all over the United States considering a nationwide “Day Of Vengence” that to take place in various cities across the USA on September 24, 2011.
Various targets including Wall Street, Corrupt Banking Institutions and the NYC Police Department. Follow Twitter account @PLF2012 for ongoing reports.
The full press release:
Wednesday – September 21, 2011
On September 17, 2011 approximately 15,000 peaceful demonstrators
in dozens of cities around the USA gathered, marched – and occupied
public space to protest the unjust policies of the US government
and the corruption in our financial institutions. The central
protest site was in the financial district of New York City, where
peaceful protesters faced phalanxes of heavily armed paramilitary
police officers from local and federal jurisdictions. The arrests
began almost immediately, many for violating the 1845 so called
“mask” laws.Later that day, and according to plan – many of these protests
ended with a peaceful occupation of public space. Again, the
central occupation occurred in NYC. More arrests continued to take
place. All of this was expected, it is part of progressive
activism. Anonymous was content to challenge these stupid “mask”
laws in court. Not only is the Guy Fawlkes mask covered under
freedom expression as a symbol of our movement, but we believe that
everyone has a right to protest anonymously using bandanas, masks -
etc.But then on Tuesday – September 20, 2011 everything changed in a
flash of police instigated violence. As rain began to fall on the
NYC encampment, heavily armed police moved in; Removing tarps used
to cover media equipment, arresting independent journalists,
confiscating media equipment – and using excessive force against
and arresting innocent peaceful protesters, several of whom were
abused and injured.This year, we heard President Barack Obama and Secretary Hillary
Clinton say over and over in country after country from the Balkans
through the mid-east to Africa that the right to peacefully protest
and occupy public space is a right that MUST be respected in every
instance. And they are correct, and this also applies to the USA.
In fact, even more so. In the USA of all countries in the world,
the police should have been deployed to PROTECT the protesters -
not a giant brass bull that is the ultimate symbol of greed and
corruption in America. And yet we were treated to the grotesque
picture of dozens of armored police surrounding this brass bull,
while thousands more police were deployed solely to harass, arrest -
and abuse peaceful protesters.Anonymous & the other cyber liberation groups around the world
together with all the freedom loving people in the USA will NOT
stand for this. We will peacefully yet forcefully resist the abuses
of the NYC Police Department. And so Anonymous announces a
nationwide “Day Of Vengence” to take place in dozens of cities
across the USA on Saturday – September 24, 2011 at High Noon.Poster – http://t.co/BSuXCdRR

In coordination with these protests across the USA on September
24th, Anonymous and other cyber liberation groups will launch a
series of cyber attacks against various targets including Wall
Street, Corrupt Banking Institutions – and the NYC Police
Department. We encourage the media to follow the Twitter feed
@PLF2012 for ongoing reports throughout the day.We Are Anonymous – We Are Everywhere – We Are Legion – We Never
Forget – We Never ForgiveEXPECT US — Anonymous
