S4BB Releases Their First BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Game “Tiles”

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 09:54 AM PDT

RIM recently allowed developers to start submitting their BlackBerry 10 apps into App World and many are doing so. This allows other devs to test out your apps and functionality and it seems to be working well. The latest app we have seen in App World for BlackBerry 10 and available for BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha owners is Tiles by S4BB. It is a fun puzzle game that sort of reminds me of Bejeweled. The goal is to clear the screen in the least number of moves by selecting tiles that are connected with the same color.

You can find Tiles in App World for $0.99 if you have a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha

RIM Co-sponsoring Pwn2Own Contest This September with $200,000 in Prizes

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 08:45 AM PDT

BlackBerry Torch 9800 hacked

Things are gearing up for Pwn2Own again this year with the mobile space heating up. Pwn2Own is happening in Amsterdam at EUSecWest this year on the 19th and 20th of September. TippingPoint is once again the main sponsor for Pwn2Own along with RIM, AT&T, and HP DVLabs. This year Pwn2Own is dedicated to the mobile attack surface including attacks on mobile browsers, NFC, SMS, and the cellular baseband.

The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) part of the contest is offering up four prizes with one each going to the first researcher to compromise a device through one of the following vectors:

  • Mobile Web Browsers
  • Near Field Communication (NFC)
  • Short Message Service (SMS)
  • Cellular Baseband

Each contestant will be allowed to select the device they want to go up against during the pre-registration and the only requirement is that it be a current device and running the latest operating system. They gave some examples including the BlackBerry Bold 9930, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Nokia Lumia 900, Apple iPhone 4S. Successful attacks must require little to no user interaction and must compromise or extract/exfiltrate useful data from the phone. It can also simply cost the owner money by doing things like calling long distance numbers or listening in on phone calls. Each successful compromise will win a BlackBerry PlayBook along with a cash prize with the first in each category winning:

  • Mobile Web Browser
    • $20,000 USD
  • NFC
    • $40,000 USD
  • SMS
    • $40,000 USD
  • Cellular Baseband
    • $100,000 USD

Check out the full details over at the TippingPoint blog. It should be interesting to see what comes out of the event this year!

Free London 2012 Olympic Games Official “Join In App”

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 08:29 AM PDT

As you assuredly know (unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere) this year is a Summer Olympic one. And with the first games in London having been played (congratulations Japan!) and the Opening Ceremony soon to follow, sports fans worldwide are turning their attention away from their other options and toward the international quadrennial spectacle in London. Unable to attend, but want to follow? There’s an app for that.

The official Olympic app (free in App World) has a huge amount of features, most of which can be utilized from wherever you are. Though it looks like it’s really designed for people attending the games (I keep being told I’m 99+ miles from the action) most of the app is also useful to those who are following from a distance. In that vein, I should point out that when times are listed, my local time as well as London time are both given.

Some key features include:

  • What's on: full and up-to-date event listings for thousands of exciting activities, including free events, London 2012 Festival cultural events and big screens (Live Sites), across London and the UK – find out what's happening near you, on an hour-by-hour basis.
  • Torch today: view the Olympic Torch Relay with street-level routes for 1000+ communities over 70 days, and details of Torchbearers. View the current Torch position in real time using the Torch Tracker function.
  • Paralympic Torch Relay: find out about the Flame Festivals taking place across the UK in August.
  • Spectator guide: get searchable maps, details of facilities and information about how to get the best out of your historic day out.
  • Road events: find out about free medal events such as the Marathon and Road Cycling Race.
  • Jump to: interactive, searchable maps of the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, the UK, London and the Olympic Park.
  • Detail maps: access and seating maps for the Olympic Park and 20+ venues.
  • Live updates: news, photos and social commentary from the Games.
  • My Games: create a personal schedule creation to help you plan your Olympic and Paralympic experience.
  • Facebook, Twitter and BBM integration: tweet, upload photos, post to your wall, check-in and let your friends know what you’re doing.

PlayBook-deconstructed

RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 just joined the rest of the BlackBerry family by gaining FIPS 140-2 certification. This comes along with RIM's BlackBerry Device Service, a component of BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, also getting FIPS 140-2 certification. That component is the one that manages the security and policy on the BlackBerry PlayBook and will also manage future BlackBerry 10 devices. This new FIPS 140-2 certification essentially certifies that RIM securely stores personal and sensitive information on the devices.

USB Promoter Group Approves USB Power Delivery Of Up to 100 Watts

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 07:45 AM PDT

usb Power usb Power2

Now this is one technology movement I am excited about. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has approved a new specification for power delivery over USB. Specifically it is called the USB Power Delivery specification and its meant to offer a smarter way to pump power through USB. This means that they will be able to pump up to 100 watts over a USB cable which should be able to power your laptop and way more. I am secretly hoping that it also means my BlackBerry and PlayBook will finally charge at their max even when hooked up to a PC.

Check out the new approved spec at USB.org. Oh and don't forget there will obviously be new cables required for this. :) via SemiAccurate
