Earlier this year, the New York Times ran a story claiming that almost every law enforcement agency in America was able to break into your phone.
A new report from Matthew Green, teacher of cryptography at Johns Hopkins, and his students, Max Zinkus, and Tushar Jois details what they?ve found. ?Authorities don?t need to break encryption in most cases, because modern phone encryption sort of sucks.?

But what if you don’t want an iOS device? Well, the world of Android opens up a lot of other options – with one of the more interesting (and unique) ones being the Unihertz Atom XL.

Most studies point out that you actually retain more if you write – rather than type – as you?re forced to make decisions about what you?re writing down, instead of simply transcribing (most of us type much faster than we write). This is why an eInk device like the Mobiscribe is so interesting to me, as it seems to be the best of both worlds – notes recorded digitally, but in your own handwriting.
(more…)As it turns out, it may not be your imagination. Sure, batteries degrade over time, and sometimes they just straight up need replacement. However, if it was able to get you going through a day and then all of a sudden is acting like an electron sieve, then the latest Google Play update may be to blame.
