My favorite announced feature of iOS 7

Control Center is a feature that has been long awaited. I hated having to dig into my settings just to turn on Bluetooth or turn off Wi-Fi. I just wish they added a gesture to bring up multitasking (you still have to click the button on an iPhone/iPod).

Including a flashlight feature in Control Center makes a lot of sense. I've been using a 3rd-party app for some time now, and the time it took to unlock my device and launch the app when I really needed a flashlight... And now I can launch a flashlight right from the lock screen!

And now for something I don't like:

The one confusing design change is Game Center. Why the bubbles? At what point of the thought of games visualize itself as bubbles? That's the only part of the design I didn't "get" – the rest of the system looks great!

iOS 7 coming this fall

In case you missed the keynote today, here's a picture I took of the event.

You can clearly see here which iOS devices will support iOS 7, so if you don't have one of the above listed, no iOS 7 for you!

I'm still rocking the iPad 2, so it's cool that it's supported. 

Mac Spyware Found Called macs.app

There is a new piece of spyware for Mac computers called macs.app, and it will send screenshots of your desktop to a server. It will create a directory called MacApp in your user folder, and store screenshots there to be uploaded to securitytable.org and docsforum.info.

Unlike other spyware, this time it has been signed with an Apple Developer ID. The signer is Rajinder Kumar, this is probably to get around Gatekeeper on Lion and Mountain Lion (Lion requires the 10.7.5 update). Since it's signed, Apple theoretically could disable the spyware from being installed, which would pretty much kill any change of more people being infected (unless you disable Gatekeeper, that is).
