Every time you walk in to a coffee shop or a McDonald’s, along with your money you also give away your sensitive personal information regarding your e-mail accounts and possibly even your bank details. How you ask? Two words; free Wi-Fi. Yes, the free Wi-Fi you use on your Mac, iPhone or iPad in places like Starbucks or McDonald’s is not safe as you think it might be. One of the main reasons for that is that they are not password protected which means a hacker who is skilled enough can hack in to your device through the flow of signals and you would think that would be quite rare.
But, there are software today like FaceNiff and FireSheep which can hack into the Wi-Fi and provide the user with the login details of the people who are logged into the network at the time. It includes your mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, you name it, and the worst part is you won’t even know what hit you.
But now Cloak is here for you to prevent your accounts and Apple devices from getting hacked. Cloak is basically a VPN (virtual private network) service that converts your normally flowing data into encrypted codes. These encrypted codes cannot be picked up by hacking tools like FireSheep and FaceNiff. The program is operated via multiple cloud servers that form a dynamic VPN that cannot be infiltrated easily.
Though the service is neither free nor terribly cheap but in our opinion it’s a small price to pay to protect your data and your privacy.

Insync is a sync service with one major twist; it doesn’t actually store your files unlike other synchronization services, it doesn’t have a file storage or bandwidth quota either. Instead of creating and using its own infrastructure for storing and delivering files, it instead uses that of Google Docs.
An Apple a day is essential in our life and it is also a ubiquitously loved fruit across United States. But which apple is the most essential for us today? Is it Steve Job’s Apple or Isaac Newton’s apple? Is it a gadget of Apple or simply apple the fruit in question?
According to a survey, it is the Cupertino based world famous tech giant company, Apple Inc., not surprisingly though. Even parents recommend Apple products (iPad) for their children as they insist their kids to include apple as a fruit in kids’ regular diet. This survey is conducted by MBA Online which has shown that the Apple Inc., produces more products and profits than apple fruits. Demographics consuming apples are no lesser than the same owing Apple products. The Apple iPhone 4S weighs similar to the apple fruit and it is worth of around 2000 apples. Do all these comparisons verify that Apple gadgets juice up our lives than real apple fruits? Following INFOGRAPHIC shows the recent status of the two in terms of rate of consumption, production, origin, sales and varieties. Let’s check out –
Apple’s recent announcement to dip into the tech industry has sparked a bit of controversy. Personally, I don’t feel as if it’s realistic. The technology — iPads and whatnot — they’re all here and ready, but I don’t feel like people are ready to let go of traditional methods and embrace the now, even if the now is more efficient.
That being said, I do like the idea, and here’re a few reasons why.
