screen-shot-2012-07-19-at-9-46-27-am

Today security company BitDefender published a report (via MobileEntertainment) that highlights the importance of adopting Apple’s data isolation policy in iOS 6.

Starting with the iOS 6 release this fall, apps that need access to personal data (reminders, photos, contacts, calendars etc.) will have to ask users to allow them use such data.

Rovio is set to release a new game



angry-birds-pig

It seems that everybody around has already heard of the fabulous Angry Birds. Millions copies of the game was sold worldwide. Now  Pocket-lint reports that Angry Birds’ maker Rovio is almost ready to introduce a new game later this year.

The idea of the new game will see you trying to protect the eggs you've grabbed from the birds, but still feature a catapult and the now famous wooden and stone structures. The game, which is expected to be available sometime before Christmas, will feature a number of different pigs and -like the birds in Angry Birds - they will come with different strengths and skill sets. Although it is not certain, from what we've seen, we would hazard a guess that it looks like the idea will be to protect the eggs against incoming birds by firing pigs at them.

Other details are unclear, though Pocket-lint has claimed that saw the game in action but was not permitted to post screenshots.
