Bomb Jack DX C64 - C64 classic overhauled is looking seriously good

Seeing as my brain hasn't completely shut down I can still remember in the late 80's on my Amstrad CPC 464 playing the brilliant Arcade port ' Bomb Jack '. It is a game that required you the player to high jump and float about getting rid of all the bombs on the screen before they are used to blow up historic places of interest, which is made more difficult by the enemies on screen. It was

Download Tecno Camon C9 Firmware Update

Tecno Camon C9 receives software update C9-H535B1-M-160722V28 .

The Tecno Camon C9, a smartphone which was released to the Nigerian market a years back, has received it’s first software update C9-H535B1-M-160722V28.

Going by the description on the software update, it’s more like a security update courtesy of Google. Google sends out monthly security patches to it’s nexus and Android One smartphone and it’s nice to see that the Tecno Camon C9, which is running a HiOS customized Android 6.0 marshmallow OS, is actually getting the monthly security patch.

Perhaps, it’s a step in the right direction. Who knows, maybe, just maybe, the Camon C9 smartphone may get the Android 7.0 Nougat OS when it becomes available.

Another fix or adjustment the update brings about is the latest GPRS parameters. The beauty make up effect for selfie lovers is also getting a slight improvement among others.

To be on the safer side, you should do a full back up of your tecno Camon c9 smartphone to an external SD card before upgrading.

iOS 10.1.1 Jailbreak Released!

In its current state the jailbreak is considered super beta and Todesco warns that it could mess up your device and require it be restored.
this is likely (nah not really but pretend it is) to your device up forcing you to restore, so better safe than sorry. wait for stable release
The jailbreak currently supports the iPhone 7 on iOS 10.1.1 but it appears to support the iPhone 6s and iPad Pro on any 10.x firmware.

"First beta will only support iPhone 7 on 10.1(.1), iPhone 6s and iPad Pro on any iOS 10 fw. Support for more devices will be added at a later date. The vuln used on 7 is fixed on 10.2, pre-7 is a full KPP bypass which I consider hard to fix, and is 0day."

Beware! Malware Has Been Discovered On Google Playstore

Beware! Malware Has Been Discovered On Google Playstore

Beware! New malware has been discovered on playstore which has currently affected more than 40 applications on Google Playstore and more than 500 applications on unofficial appstore despite that Google Playstore is the most secured store to download applications for Android device.

 In case you want to the meaning of malware, it is an "umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software.".

Well, I don't actually know how this malware got to creep into Google Playstore which have successfully affected many applications. This malware is called Dresscode. This malware will create a so called botnet. The attackers are able to use infected devices to route traffic through them. Checkpoint says, the hackers only use it to generate false ad traffics and click and for collecting ad revenue. However, a botnet who is this malware can be used for more serious attacks I.e getting access to companys server and files.

So even though the malware has power to generate ad clicks and traffics, you still have the power to stop to from it from running on your device background orelse it will affect your device performance. Always make sure that your Android device have the latest security patch installed and always be careful of what you download in apps store.

ChampOne launches C1 smartphone for Rs. 501

ChampOne launches C1 smartphone for Rs. 501

                  Not so long ago, a Noida-based start-up Ringing Bells Pvt Ltd had announced the cheapest 3G ‘Made in India’ smartphone at a shocking price of Rs. 251 (less than $4), which took everyone by surprise considering the price it was sold at. If this was not enough, an unknown Jodhpur-based company known as ChampOne Communications has listed a Rs. 501 (less than $8) smartphone called ChampOne C1 on its website, with opening registrations for the first flash scheduled for September 2.

                 According to the company, the smartphone originally comes
priced at Rs. 7,999 (around $120). However, in order to buy the smartphone for Rs. 501, you need to participate in a flash sale on ChampOne’s website. One needs to go to the www.champ1india.com, fill the given form to register for the flash sale, and you will get a unique code that should be used on the day of the flash sale.

                 Talking about the specifications of the smartphone, the ChampOne C1 features a 5-inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1280×720. It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and supports dual-SIM. The smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6735 quad-core processor and has a 2500mAh battery packed inside. It comes with 2GB RAM and offers 16GB of inbuilt storage with support for microSD expandability. On the camera front, it includes an 8-megapixel back camera with LED flash, and a 5-megapixel front snapper. The device also gets a fingerprint scanner at the back. Its connectivity options include 4G LTE with support for all Indian bands. It will be made available in White, Silver, and Gold colour options.

                  If we look at the specifications, the device seems to be quite average. However, looks like the company is trying this marketing gimmick to draw attention. After the listing went viral on Monday, the company updated its website to say “only existing customers are eligible for flash sale.” Both the website and the offer look rather shady, and the registration button is also inactive. Further, the company has put out a disclaimer citing “payment gateway” difficulties, and says that “you would not be able to register for the application for next 24 hours”. However, it says that the smartphone will be sold through the ‘Cash On Delivery Option.’ Considering all these fishy details, we recommend you not to buy this smartphone.
