With the two-factor authentication, most hacks are expected not to work as they wouldn’t have access to password for the account. The additional security measure complicates the login process, but Twitter believes it’ll be welcomed by most its users. The Associated Press’ account was cracked, when hackers sent out a message claiming the White House had been bombed.

“Despite a more competitive marketplace and other challengers nipping at its heels, Apple’s ability to maintain its no.1 position demonstrates the value that having a strong brand brings to business,” stated Nick Cooper, managing director of Millward Brown Optimor. “People still love the brand regardless of its stock price.”

Apple is still on the top but there’re some companies, who are ahead of getting scores in their growth this year. Apple’s today value is just 1 % more than last year, while in 2011 it’s 84 % jump.

Google takes the second place with a brand value of 113 billion. AT&T, which is the sixth received 75 billion. Then, there’s a Chinese carrier China Mobile with its value of $55 billion. Samsung, Apple’s main competitor, received only the 30th position with a brand value of $21 billion.

The main goal of the tour was to give a push the FATIH project, which will equip 42,000 schools. The project is launched by the prime minister and is aimed to put technology at the heart of education. The project is planned to take four years to succeed and expected to cost about $3- $4 billion.

Recep Erdoğan said: “We wanted to see the latest developments in the information technology sector before we launched the Fatih bid by visiting the Silicon Valley because we plan to realize a similar project in Istanbul. Our first aim is to produce 10,600,000 tablets as part of the Fatih project, which will be followed by the production of 2 million to 2.5 million tablets.”

Apple is near a significant push into the Turkish market and believes that its iPad’ll successfully place textbooks. This meeting wasn’t the first between Apple executives and Turkish government officials. Thus, in 2012 Turkish President Abdullah Gül met with Tim Cook during a visit to Apple, and Apple Vice President for Education John Couch including a number of Apple executives  visited the President in Turkey earlier this year.

The strategy is the following: gather the blobs so that there were four of the same color, standing next to each other. Although DipDrop seems to be easy to play, it’s hard to master. Well, it looks like a universal appeal Tetris-style games and has a quite similar game plan. You need control slowly falling blobs and move them to create an appropriate positions. Thus, when you put four blobs in the same color together, they all vanish, offering you more place and time for thinking your next step. Don’t allow the pit to be filled up with them. If it is, you have to start playing again.

The app offers you great number of power-ups, that makes the game more addicting. Use the freezing power to get more time for organizing the blobs. To use more power-ups, you have to buy virtual money.

The most cool feature in the app’s controls is the opportunity to add more space between the buttons you use, if they are too close.

The graphics is in a cartoon style and music is excellent.

Open new challenging levels and earn all the achievements with DipDrop!

When Father Andrew Small, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States held the iPad for the pope, the pope asked: “I push here?” Then he placed his finger on the button, but Father Andrew Small had to take the iPad, as it was time to take it away.

“As soon as the Holy Father hit the button, a little notice came across the top …and it said, ‘Pope Francis has unlocked the MISSIO App. He sort of looked a little bit surprised.”

There are already 1,140 people from 27 countries who have already tried Missio. The app is free and available for both Apple and Android devices. According to the Catholic News Service, Missio can be used in eight languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Arabic.

As the research manager with IDC’s Mobile Phone team, Ramon Llamas said lately: “Android and iOS accounted for more than the lion’s share of smartphones in the first quarter, but a closer examination of the other platforms reveals turnaround and demand for alternatives. Windows Phone has benefited from Nokia’s participation, and BlackBerry’s new BB10 devices have already hit a million units shipped in its first quarter of availability.”

And while Android continues to succeed in the smartphone operating system market, reaching almost 41% of Android hardware, Apple’s iOS is still a leader in this sphere.

Thus, IDC stated: “Although demand remains strong worldwide, the iOS experience has remained largely the same since the first iPhone debuted in 2007. That appears ready to change as online rumors and speculation predict a massive overhaul of the user interface when iOS 7 debuts.”

As for the BlackBerry, there were more than a million units operating on its new BB10 platform shipped lately. The company puts hight hopes on its new hardware and software.

“I can tell you unequivocally Apple does not funnel its domestic profits overseas. We don’t do that. We pay taxes on all the products we sell in the U.S., and we pay every dollar that we owe. And so I’d like to be really clear on that,”-said Cook.

Apple has $145 billion in cash and if the company uses bonds, it will have money to use without getting hit with what’s currently a 35 percent corporate tax rate. By the way, Apple made up decision not to bring the cash into the U.S. to invest its stock buyback program. Though the Senate committee isn’t pleased with such tax step, the Apple’s CEO told that the company is promoting to the country’s economic growth:

“Apple is contributing in a lot of different ways to the economy, and we’re very, very proud of it, particularly in the job-creation area and the work we do to protect our environment.”

During the interview, Cook also explained where its offshore cash comes from,  Apple’s plans to create more jobs back to the U.S.,  he also reasoned why the company will ask policy changes in Washington:

“We don’t have a large presence in Washington, as you probably know, but we care deeply about public policy and believe creative policy can be a huge catalyst for a better society and a stronger economy… I hope to make some clear recommendations, and I trust there will be receptive parties there.”

“As one example, a display associated with (or incorporated into) a secondary device may display text instructing a person holding that device to move in a particular direction, for a particular distance, to angle or move the device in a certain manner, and so forth,»-the patent stated.

That means that the primary unit can send instructions remorely to the person holding the secondary device. By the way, with a graphical interface a user can preview a test shot and offer control over the secondary devices acting as slave flashes. It’s also possible for the primary device to display scene options which automatically change slave units’ flash fire intensity or send instructions for repositioning.

It was not the one person who’s responsible for the idea connecting multiple iOS devices, so the patent can be supposed to be “social camera flash” system. It also should be mentioned that Apple’s remote flash patent application was first filed in November 2011.

The last big contest came in March 2012, when Chinese resident downloaded the 25 billionth app. That time, Chunli Fu was gifted a $10,000 card and a trip to one of Apple’s stores to use it. Not so far this year, Apple paid out a 10,000 Euro iTunes gift card for the 25th billion song sold on iTunes.

Meanwhile, Apple wasn’t the first to introduce an App Store-Nokia did. Currently, there are about 800,000 apps to choose from on both Apple’s and Google’s store. Variety of the sizes is an important weapon in the smartphone wars between the largest electronic companies, such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and BlackBerry. While Apple and Google compete for the largest and most profitable stores, Microsoft’s Windows Phone and BlackBerry are still in need of key apps such as the Instagram and Snapchat.

The App Store has done much for Apple, being a huge moneymaker for the company, which receives 30 percent of the revenue from its app store, which comes to about $3.86 billion since 2008.

There are still debates over use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing. Meanwhile, iPhone is suspected to be responsible for a 2011 incident, as it may have caused interference with the flight equipment on a regional airliner. One of the pilots suspected the iPhone caused interference with the plane’s systems. The matter is that the time of the iPhone turning off and stabilization of the navigational issues coincided.

According to the Bloomberg’s report, there were problems with compasses on the flight, but the system was stabilized after a passenger was asked to turn off the iPhone. In spite of the incident there are some carriers, which still support the relaxing of rules on use of electronic devices under 10,000 feet. Already existing rules prohibit the use of most electronic devices — Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPods — while the plane is at such height.

Being under the pressure of passengers, who require to relax the rules, the Federal Aviation Administration had to assure that rule changes would be announced soon. The problem connects with different understanding of the term “airplane mode”, which originally featured to turn off all of the wireless radios. But today variety of devices complicates the way of adopting one standard for all units.
