Touchgrind already available in the AppStore

Sure that the name “Touchgrind” do not sound anything but if you remember this post that we published in Applesfera a few months ago and you see the video that accompanies this entry surely start to remember. Touchgrind is a game of skate something different to what we know from game skate.

This time our role is to foot, literally. That way through a precise control can use the table to skate with our two fingers to accelerate, turn, jump or even “grind” with her.

The game is very funny, his finishing and design from the menu to the boards is surprising and its gameplay is good but somewhat difficult at first, nothing that can not be practiced to solve. Of course I’m hooked, and by 3.99 euros seems to me a fantastic recommendation.

Thanks for the warning Rober

Meizu M8 “the king of the clones” in trade

The Meizu M8 is a “Patacca” some ‘detail: it is, in fact, one of the only cases that we remember that a clone was announced before the original model, the iPhone.

But Patacca Patacca or not, as befits the products that arrive on the shelves (though in this case, the actual availability dell’M8 will in a week or so, obviously in China), can not miss the ritual of unpacking: the entire tunnel found on the website of China Pconline.com.cn.

Everything is full of deja-vu: every detail of Meizu M8 from the pack to the charger to the device itself, calls the melafonino. Similar, but somewhat objectively ‘as the worst …

Apple introduced a gift card for 3G iPhone

Although Apple does not sell directly to the iPhone 3G by the virtual Apple Store (basically you can not escape the contract Movistar), the company has found a way to sell over the Internet for this Christmas.

The solution is a gift card, whose value we can choose us, so that another person may have a discount by buying a 3G iPhone or any iPod or computer from the store (since the gift card can be loaded with 25 U.S. dollars at least to 2500 maximum).

Unfortunately, it is a service that I have seen is only available in the USA, so in Spain, unless they launch the service within a few hours or days, we will have to give the 3G iPhone in other ways if we want do.

Features: anti-phishing protection Safari 3.2

The latest version of Safari launched a couple of weeks ago has as its main novelty the incorporation of protection against fraudulent websites, enabled by default in the Security pane of the preference of the browser. In this way, Safari 3.2 alerts us when we try to visit a site “known” to contain malware (viruses, trojans and other crap) or simulating be the site of a bank or corporation for the purpose of getting our personal or financial data.

The information provided by Apple on this but did not give much for the kids of Macworld say that in reality it is nothing short of the Google Safe Browsing technology developed by the giant search three years ago as an adjunct to Firefox to be integrated later in the version 2.0 and recently in the beta of Chrome.

The operation of this technology is based on two blacklists drawn up by Google with fraudulent addresses (one for sites with malware and another for Web pages that are moving those who are not in reality) that are stored in safebrowsing.clients.google. com. Obviously, Google needs to know the URL of the page you are visiting we want to be able to show a warning in case of any difficulties with it so when you launch Safari, this will download an updated copy of the domain trouble. If you try to access any of them, the browser encodes the full URL and sends it to Google for the check. If matched, shows us the warning concerned. More »
