16-Year-Old Who Hacked Apple Servers And Stole Over 90Gb Of Data Walks Free


Remember the 16-year-old Australian kid who was arrested for repeatedly hacking into the computer systems of Apple and accessed over 90GB of private data? Yeah, the kid won't be serving jail time but will serve an eight month probation instead.



As reported before, the teenager who could not be named due to privacy concerns is from Melbourne, Australia, and was accused of hacking several times into Apple servers between June 2015 and April 2017.

Within that period, the teenager downloaded over 90GB of secure files, including some extremely secure authorised keys used to grant login access to users, as well as multiple accounts.

During a raid conducted by the police, several hacking tools were found with instruction on how to use them in a folder called 'Hack hacky hacky.'


The hacker pleaded guilty to the charges labeled against him by the FBI and the Australian Federal Police during a court hearing. However, the court didn't convict him due to the fact that he had enrolled in a University where he is studying criminology and cyber safety course.

"Your offending is serious. It was sustained, sophisticated, and a successful attack on the security of a major international corporation," the magistrate told the teenager.

Investigator handling the case at that time said the teen method 'worked flawlessly' until he was caught.

While speaking to the Guardian, Apple assured customers that no personal data were compromised during the hack, and that their security professionals responded to the threat posed by the hacker.

This post is a throw back to 2007 when Iran felt threatened by animal agents. The Islamic nation intelligence officials arrested and detained 14 rodents within the nations border in its bid to combat espionage by the West.

Mug Shot of a squirrel
According to the Iranian Intelligence officials, the rodents were spying for Western powers determined to undermine the Islamic Republic.

"In recent weeks, intelligence operations have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran's borders," state-sponsored news agency IRNA reported. "The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act. Thanks to the alertness of our intelligence service."


Confirming the report, the Iranian police commander Estmaeil Ahmadi-Moqadam confirmd the report, saying that a number of squirrels bearing foreign spy gear had been arrested within the Iranian borders.

"I heard of this but i have no specific knowledge on the subject," the Iranian police said.

The use of animals as spying agents have increased since World War 2. During the war, the Germans attached cameras to pigeons to take aerial pictures. Pigeons were also used to fly out critical intelligence matter out of occupied France during the second World War.

The US is said to have trained Dolphins and Seals to identify underwater mines, and even disable enemy swimmers too. Also, the US Marines in Kuwait are said to have chickens for a -tech chemical detection system.

Everyday More Complaints Keep Trailing The New Sets Of Iphones!!!


Apple's new set of iPhones are exactly what most iPhone lovers had hoped for after last years's launch of the iPhone X. As you all know, Apple always try to get things done in a unique way so as to come out top on the competition. The only perkara is that when they get it wrong, they also get the perkara uniquely wrong.

So many complaints have trailed the new sets of iPhones. Take for example the iPhone XS and XS Max, the most expensive set of iPhones ever built is said to be having weak WiFi and network signal strength.

Considering the price, Apple users were expecting more peace of mind from this piece of gadget.


A tear down of the new iPhone XS Max 256GB which is sold by Apple for $1,249 in the United States is said to be far worth less than the amount its been sold.

According to a research carried out by TechInsights, while estimating and looking into each cost part on the iPhone XS Max, the results sees Apple charging $1,249 for a device that the overall production costs just $443. That's almost three times the cost of production!

Though the selesai cost of production involves research, development and marketing, the hefty price tag can't still be justified.

 The display on the iPhone XS Max, a 6.5-inch OLED panel which is the largest display ever used on an iPhone costs $80.50. The iPhone XS Max display is an upgrade from last years iPhone X 5.8-inch display which costs just $77.27. Now thats just a $3 difference despite the obvious difference between the two.

Another perkara associated with the new set of iPhones is the charging time when using wired charging...erm, even the wireless charger.


According to a break down by PhoneArena, charging from flat to full with the bundled charger takes about 3 hours 3 minutes on the iPhone XS, while the iPhone takes about 3 hours 29 minutes -- findings PhoneArena reviewer Daniel Petrov described as "borderline criminal."

Despite the heavy price of these devices, their charging speed still lag behind cheaper Android rivals from LG and OnePlus.

"With most android phones, I can plug in my phone,take a shower and know that i have enough battery to get me several more hours of battery life," Todd Haselton of CNBC said. "With the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, unless I use a bigger charger like the one included with the iPad, I don;t get the same experience."

Apple however, came out with a lame excuse for its decision to make a tiny charger. The Cupertino company said its reason for opting for a tiny charger was because her customers preferred it to larger ones due to its portable nature which makes it easy to be carried about.

Google Has A Secret Text Adventure Game; Here's How To Access It




Do you know that there's a full text adventure game hidden with Google.com? Yes, there's a full text adventure game hidden within Google's Dev console and it's available to anyone... erm, only if you know how to find it.

Well, don't worry, we will show you how to find the hidden text game so that you can also join and be part of the fun which has been trending for some days now.

Discovered by Reddit user attempt_number_1, the game sees yo playing as a "big blue G" while you search for your other friends which are the remaining letters that make up the Google logo.



To go about this, first, you will need the right browser for it. Supported browsers includes; Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera Mini and Microsoft Edge. Though the game works on the Edge browser, the text wrapping isn't right on it, and Safari browser doesn't support it. However, i will still recommend Google Chrome because the other browsers might give you error at any point.

After you've gotten the right browser, the next step is to Google the term "text adventure".

Once the search result comes out, on your Windows device hit Control+Shift+J while on Mac devices hit Command+Option+J to access the Dev console. The moment  you hit the command, you will see a message like "Would you like to play a game? (yes/no)"

Reply by typing Yes followed by the enter key. Now you will embark on an adventure as you explore Google campus trying to find the remaining letters of the search engine.


For those who don't know how to play a text world adventure game, it is simple and not difficult. To control your character, you simply type in commands to go through the puzzles and story. Commands likes "north," "south," "east," or |"west" will move you around, while commands like "grab" and "use" will let you interact with items.

I began the game and found myself in Google's headquarters in mountain View, California. While browsing around the environment, i got to a "large field" where i saw some "googlers playing ultimate frisbee and dodgeball."

In no time, "a horde of lost nooglers (new googlers) surrounds" me and begin to ask how to get around the place! well, i helped them out anyway.

The game is fun and very good for killing time. You should equally give it a try.

This game has now been included in Google's list of easter eggs on Wikipedia.

Oppo Find X With A Massive 10Gb Of Ram Gets Certified


OPPO is set to release another Android device, a new variant of the OPPO Find X. This device is set to come with a whopping 10GB of RAM to power it.
According to a TENAA listing, the OPPO Find X device will be shipped with 256GB of internal storage, and as well 10GB of RAM. Now, if this is true, the OPPO X variant will be the first device to carry such RAM power.

 The current OPPO Find X comes with 8GB of RAM, has a very thin chin below the display and has almost no bezels.

Announced back in June this year, the OPPO Find X came with a curved display, while the display itself is made out of metal and glass.


The device has a 6.42-inch fullHD+ AMOLED display and is being powered by a Snapdragon 845 64-bit octa-core SoC. It comes with Android 8.1 Oreo pre-installed with OPPO's ColorOS 5.1 skin, and a massive 3,730mAH battery size to keep the device running all day.

One key feature of the OPPO Find X was the sliding mechanism. The camera on the OPPO Find X is buried within the device, and thus, when ever the user wants to use the cameras, the sliding mechanism comes into play.

Whenever the user wants to make use of the camera, maybe to take pictures or to scan the users face (3D Facial Recognition) the cameras will have to move in the right position for it to be able to work. The device doesn't come with a finger print scanner.

So far, its just the listing of the OPPO Find X variant on TENAA that is available. Lets wait and see what the release will be.

To catch the suspect, Sony bought two of the consoles from Scales and saw printed instructions on how to install illegal game copies. Scales even wrote a message encouraging people to "enjoy all games for free."

The petition also seeks an injunction against the accused forcing him to stop all alleged infringing activities, and as well dispose hard drives, all jailbroken PS4 consoles, and any pirated games that may have been downloaded.

Husband Divorces Wife After He Caught Her Cheating On Google Street Map



A Peruvian man has divorced his wife after he caught her cheating with another man on Google Street Map.

According to local news media, the man was searching on Google street Map for the best route to reach a popular bridge in Lima, the capital of Peru, when he stumbled upon a figure that looked familiar in one of the photos.

One thing that caught his attention was the womans clothe in which was putting on. When he zoomed close, he found out that the woman was actually his wife. The woman wore a white top, jeans and heals and was sitting on a bench while a male figure lay across her lap as she stroked his hair.

The angry man confronted his wife with the pictures and she admitted of having an affair with another man, and not being faithful to her husband.


One thing you have to note here is that these photos were taken by Google Street Map at Puento de los supiros de Barranco (called Beridge of Sighs of the ravine), back in 2013. However, the couples were already married then.

The man went onto Facebook and shared the photos with his followers, and these were some response he got;

"What a small world it is... It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more." one Facebook user said.

Another wrote: "Our of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha)."

Google Street View has captured so many funny and bizarre results. Below are a few examples of weired photos Googl Street Map capture:

Here Is Google's Solution To Hide The Pixel 3 Xl’S Ugly Notch


Google recently launched the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL devices with nice specs and features that put the two device up against other flagship devices in the market.


The Pixel 3 comes with a 5.5-inch (18:9) 2160x1080 AMOLED, 443 PPI display while the Pixel 3 XL comes with a 6.3-inch (18.5:9) 2960x1440 AMOLED, 523 PPI display.

The difference between the two Pixel devices is the screen size, battery size, and the notch. Yes the notch. The notch has always been one thing that most Android users hate. However, it seems Google has come up with a solution to hide the notch from the Pixel 3 XL device for those who hate that crazy notch.
According to Twitter handle Made By Google, the Alphabet company has come up with a solution that hides the notch from the Google Pixel device. Well, the notch doesn't go away entirely, but instead, the status kafe is blacked out entirely so as to make the notch less visible...giving it a bezel look.

Could this method of  hiding the notch be the solution or even making the situation worse?

Well, for now the feature isn't available for users to try it out as it is still in developer-option mode. However, we will keep watch and see what the outcome will be when its finally released for users.
