Apple’s ‘iPhone’ trademark is being challenged in India

iphone_6_6plus_primary-100413338-primary.idge

Tamil Nadu-based company iVoice Enterprise is moving forward with its challenge to Apple’s ‘iPhone’ trademark in India, reports PatentlyApple. The firm has asked the country’s Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) to remove the trademark from their registry.

The initial complaint, known officially as a “rectification petition,” was filed on October 20, and many figured it would be immediately tossed out. However, today it is being reported that the IPAB is taking the trademark issue seriously, and has asked Apple to respond.... Read the rest of this post here

iOS 8 完美盤古越獄教學,最新 Pangu8 v1.1 版下載


為什麼 iOS 8 越獄都推出一個多禮拜了,我到今天才發佈這篇文章呢?一是到 iOS 8 系統後需要越獄的理由越來越少,iAcces 嘸蝦米輸入法、蘋果 SBSettings 和小工具 Widget 都有了。再來是這次大陸 iOS 8 盤古越獄在還是測試版就趕著推出,除了沒有附 Cydia 外又綁定了大陸 PP 助手,在越獄後出現非常多小錯誤。

盤古越獄團隊在經過一個禮拜的修正和除錯後,今天終於推出整合 Cydia 的「Pangu8 v1.1版 」越獄工具,還讓日韓版 iPhone 可以靜音拍照,並且增加支援英文界面。小弟我個人的生活用機 iPhone 6 不越獄,因為沒這個需求,而且系統安全和穩定對我很重要,所以我拿備用機 iPhone 5 來測試。建議想要越獄的朋友,先看看下面這篇文章後再決定。

越獄前必看: 為什麼你的 iPhone 非得 JB 越獄不可?



iOS 8 JB 越獄教學

●工具名稱:盤古越獄 for iOS 8
●支援機型:iPhone/iPad/iPod touch
●支援版本:iOS 8.0~iOS 8.1
●工具下載:Pangu8_v1.1.0 (備用載點)

iOS 8 越獄教學影片


1. 不再贅述,越獄一定有風險,越獄前請先詳細閱讀公開說明書,並用 iTunes、iCloud 做好重要資料備份。
2. 用 USB 線將 iPhone / iPad 與電腦連接,然後把 iPhone 解鎖密碼、Touch ID 指紋解鎖和「尋找我的 iPhone」關閉,以降低越獄過程出錯機率。


3. 開啟電腦中下載的 Pangu8 v1.1 程式,然後點擊「執行 」。(Vista 以上系統請用管理員權限執行)

4. 將「支持盤古越獄安裝 PP 助手」打勾去掉,然後點擊下面藍色按鈕「開始越獄 」(雖然越獄後還是會被強迫安裝 PP 助手,不過可以到 Cydia 裡反安裝移除)

5. 越獄須知,請做好備份和開啟 iPhone「飛航模式 」,以免越獄過程被干擾。

6. 就放著不要動給它跑就好,越獄過程中 iPhone 會重開機。

7. 越獄成功重開機後,點擊開啟桌面的「Cydia 」。(iPhone 要連接網路)

8. 等 Cydia 載入重新啟動主畫面後,能進入 Cydia 商店就大功告成了。

原來這就是傳說中的蘋果使用體驗


記得大概七年前在台北 COMPUTEX 展顧攤位時,有一位外國客人從口袋拿出一台小機器,看他手指在機器上點來點去以為是 PDA,但他又沒有拿觸控筆。很好奇靠近看,那台機器上沒有按鍵,就一塊玻璃和一顆圓鈕。看他用手指直接點擊螢幕就能換頁、打字和撥打電話,當時那台手機的外型和操作方式讓我驚為天人。我以為所謂的智慧手機都有鍵盤,不然就是要愚蠢的從機身上抽出筆來點擊,原來智慧手機外型能這麼漂亮、操作這麼直覺優雅,後來才知道這支手機叫 iPhone。

2007 年蘋果推出第一支大螢幕電容觸控手機後,其他當時所謂的智慧型手機開始拋棄實體鍵盤,紛紛也把自己家手機變成一整塊觸控玻璃。但有些不要臉的廠牌,竟然說自己是最早開始做大螢幕手機,好像全世界所有東西都是他們國家發明。



當年 iPhone 離我們台灣很遙遠,全世界只有美國有賣,而且很貴、會鎖機和沒有中文,不過當時我知道這就是我要的手機。雖然當時我用的是周杰倫代言的最強拍照手機 Panasonic GD88,相機足足有 11 萬像素,一台要價 $18000 台幣。


從 2007 年 1 月賈伯斯在台上把電話、網頁瀏覽器和 iPod 三台裝置變成一台 iPhone 開始,iPhone 讓人感動的經驗就非常多。像第一次親手摸到兩面玻璃的 iPhone 4、金屬機身鑽石切邊的 iPhone 5,和 2.5D 螢幕圓滑超薄機身的 iPhone 6。蘋果產品不管是外型工藝和使用體驗,在在都能觸動人心。

蘋果使用體驗

我平時最喜歡在床上或廁所用 iPad 上網、看影片,今天在廁所做蛋糕時 iPad 突然響起鈴聲,看一下電話號碼原來是某公關公司,點擊接聽鈕開始用擴音講電話,通話音質非常清晰。又再一次體會能在 iPad 和 Mac 電腦上接聽 iPhone 電話的方便,如果沒有蘋果這個接續互通功能,剛在廁所就漏接一通重要電話。

我在《iPhone News 愛瘋團》社團跟瘋友們分享這個美好的經驗,想不到馬上就有好幾位朋友留言,表示自己也有這樣的經驗。一位朋友說:「前陣子從外面回來,把 iPhone 放在車上忘記拿上來房間,使用 iMac 打電腦時頓時響起鈴聲,直接接了一通家裡打來的重要電話。」另一位朋友說:「有時候 iPhone 在房間,人在客廳玩 iPad 或 MBA,iPhone 來電手上的 Apple 行動裝置都能互通,神方便。」

什麼是能讓消費者感動和真正需要的功能?可能每個人需求都不同,不過對我來說絕不是什麼觸控筆、眼球感應、手機測心跳和晃頭換頁,而是上面這種小確幸。

Apple changes its mind again, will allow calculator widgets in Notification Center after all

yes no buttons

Yes. No. YES!

These three words sum up the situation of PCalc, a powerful calculator app that features a Notification Center widget, whose developer was asked by Apple yesterday to remove as it apparently wasn’t in line with App Store rules.

Today, it appears that Apple has changed its mind (again), as TechCrunch reports that they’ve been “hearing that Apple is changing its course. The PCalc app and widget will remain in the App Store, and all calculator-type widgets will be allowed as well, an Apple spokesperson has confirmed to us.”

How to use a passcode with the iOS 8.x jailbreak

iOS 8 Jailbreak passcode fix cydia substrate

At this point in time, running Cydia on a jailbroken iPhone can still be a bit confusing for users who aren’t always knee-deep in this stuff. One of the biggest issues encountered when running Cydia on a jailbroken iOS 8 device at the moment involves using the passcode and Touch ID.

After installing Cydia on a jailbroken iOS 8 device, many are reporting that establishing a passcode sends them into a bootloop. I verified that I encountered the same issue.

Let me just preface this by saying that the problems encountered here are no fault of the Pangu team or of Saurik. This jailbreak is a work in progress, and we’ve been advised that the jailbreak is only for developers at the moment. That said, many of you are adventurous and want to take the plunge as soon as possible; as do I.

In this video, I share an unsanctioned workaround to the boot loop issue. I show you how to establish a passcode on a device with Cydia and Cydia Substrate installed. I’ve tested this out, and have recorded the entire Cydia installation process for your convenience. Have a look inside for the full tutorial.... Read the rest of this post here

I’m still tweaking my new iMac so it behaves the way I want it to. While all my main apps have been installed and set up as needed, there is still all these little things that need to be finetuned. One of those things is file extensions.

By default, OS X hides the extensions of filenames. I imagine this is made to simplify the view for casual users, and I’m totally fine with that. However, I like to see the extensions of files on my desktop or in Finder, which allows me to use files differently depending on their extensions.

不藏私!iOS 8 必裝 Widget 第二彈


升級到 iOS 8 系統後,除了可以用嘸蝦米、大易等超多輸入法、蘋果雲端硬碟「iCloud Drive」、跨平台雲端相簿「iCloud 照片圖庫」和 OS X Yosemite 系統電腦「接續互通」無縫連接外,最棒的是還能加入了先進的 Widget 小工具。

蘋果哲學向來都是"要嘛不做,要做就做到最好",主導整個市場。像 Apple Pay 行動付款才推出三天就超過百萬信用卡激活量,超過 Google Wallet 等所有電子錢包過去幾年的總合。就像很多人說的,NFC 還是要等蘋果做才推的動。可憐的小米,每代小米手機都有 NFC,卻突然在最新第 4 代小米手機把 NFC 拿掉,理由是 NFC 用戶使用率太低,看來雷軍不緊急推出重新加上 NFC 的小米 4S 或小米 5 不行了。


更好用的蘋果 Widget

回到主題 iOS 8 Widget 小工具,為什麼說它比 Android Widget 先進好用。蘋果向來考量的很遠,四年前突然把 iPad 電流升到 2.1A,讓全世界的電腦為 iPad 升級;還有為什麼 iOS 系統設定和通知分成上下兩欄,上面通知中心、下面控制中心,而不是像 SBSettings。這種種疑問,隨著 iOS 支援 64 位和加入通知中心 Widget 小工具一一解開,蘋果下的是一盤大棋,不是像某些公司走一步算一步。

iOS Widget 比 Android Widget 好用在,裝置不需要解鎖就能使用,而且全系統所有 APP 和操作畫面都能快速操作,不像 Android 就真的只是桌面小工具,一定要回到桌面才能使用 Widget。iOS 只要由上往下滑動,不管在任何畫面都能立即查看行事歷、郵件、追蹤股票、球賽資訊、匯率換算、Dropbox 或 Ecernote。而且蘋果開放 iOS 8 第三方 Widget 給開發者,所以和 APP 一樣會有用不完的 Widget 可以安裝,不需要到處去安裝一些有風險的 APK 軟體。


iOS 8 Widget 小工具教學:

如何為 iOS 8 的通知中心加入 Widget 小工具
玩轉 iOS 8 通知中心,好用小工具 Widget 推薦


iOS 8 好用 Widget 小工具推

360手機衛士

可以在通知中心顯示記憶體和硬碟使用情況沒什麼特別,之前介紹的「iMonitor for iOS 8」和「N Stats」都可以。「360手機衛士」特別是下圖最右邊的"流量",你能設定要統計幾 GB 流量,隨時查看剩餘和可用多少,對於沒有辦上網吃到飽的朋友,能清楚知道本月用了多少和還省多少流量可以使用。


Ticker

雖然 iOS 內建的股票可以掛在通知中心,不過如果你想要進一步追蹤各國市場指數,或是追蹤某些股票的話,「Ticker」都能提供更專業的進階功能。


Forecast+Raincast

這是兩款不同天氣類 Widget,而且都是付費。Forecast+能顯示5天天氣預報,Raincast 能顯示 6 天降雨機率。不想花錢的話,iOS 內建的天氣、免費「Yahoo天氣」、「The Weather Channel」和「Weather Underground」就很好用。


● TimeWidget

有重要節日、行程或事件除了能用「Countdowns with Widget」倒數計時外,這款「TimeWidget」也能設定事件 (Event) 在通知中心隨時提醒自己還剩幾天。


另外它還能設定世界各國時鐘和台灣農曆 (點一下變國曆),超級強大。


Wdgts

在一個 APP 裡提供了 8 個 Widget 小工具,能看時間、記憶體、行事曆、計算機等,還有這個「Photo Frame」,能讓你把喜歡的照片放在通知中心裡,讓你每天心情都很好。另外還有一款「Photorium」,也能把相簿放在通知中心裡。


大事件

如果你不排斥簡體字的話,「大事件」能讓你知道歷史上的今天發生了什麼大事,以古為鏡順便長知識。


Widgets

這是「Widgets」其中的一個 Currency 匯率追蹤功能,常出國或有在投資外幣的朋友,可用這款 Widgets 自定想要追蹤的國家貨幣,同時也能進行台幣換算。(※用 iPhone 內建股市軟體免費查各國匯率)


● Coins-Bitcoin Value Tracker

如果你有在投資比特幣 (Bitcoin) 的話,它能追蹤漲跌和進行台幣換算。


Vidgets

功能無敵多的 APP,能讓你看時間、電量、天氣、GPS、流量、記憶體和系統狀態等,能自由選譯想加入的 Widget 功能。


老黃曆-傳統日曆萬年曆

Caltrix 、TimeWidget 一樣能顯示農曆,不過「老黃曆」只能顯示一周。

ReachAll brings Reachability-inspired functionality to the iPhone 5s and older devices

ReachAll Screenshot

ReachAll is a recently released jailbreak tweak that brings one of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ flagship features—Reachability—to older devices. Reachability, as you’re likely aware of, allows you to shift down the contents of the iPhone’s interface via a double-tap on the iPhone’s Touch ID sensor. For large devices like the iPhone 6, this feature was added with one-handed usage in mind.

Obviously, a smaller device like the iPhone 5s lacks the need for such a feature out of the box, but don’t tell that to jailbreak developers. ReachAll not only brings Reachability to the most likely candidate, (the iPhone 5s is the only Touch ID enabled iPhone without Reachability) but it also works, thanks to a special “Tap Box” option, on older devices like the iPhone 5.
