Apple has made ringtones from the Beatles most popular songs. They include:
- “I Want to Hold Your Hand”

- “Let It Be”
- “Something”
- “Come Together”

- and more.
These ringtones are now available via the iTunes Ringtones Store on your iPhone.
Under the right — though easily arranged — circumstances, a simple paperclip could allow someone to circumvent your iPhone’s passcode and access your voicemail, contacts, recent call list, and other data.
The security flaw which allows this undesired access was first discovered by members of the iPhoneIslam team, a group known for occasionally figuring out sneaky ways to circumvent Apple’s security measures. The group posted a YouTube video to show how the flaw can be exploited and I have managed to easily duplicate the process on my own iPhone.
In order to take advantage of the security flaw, a sneaky individual would need to have a paper clip (or another tool which would allow him or her to open your iPhone’s SIM tray) and physical access to your device — which would have to be running iOS 5. There would also have to be a missed call notification visible on your home screen (which the snoop could arrange if he or she knows your phone number, of course).

Ever since the iPhone 4S hit the streets (and friends of mine began getting one) I’ve been wanting to get one. But my contract wasn’t due for a while. While I considered paying full price for one, my financial resources weren’t good enough to justify it.
A few months later, Apple began offering unlocked iPhone 4Ss. So, I asked myself, “what’s the difference between a locked and an unlocked phone?” After speaking with some knowledgeable people, here’s what I have come up with:
An unlocked iPhone means:
If you’re willing to pay the full price for the cell phone, that one can use the phone on any carrier as long as one has a current cell plan. So, for example, you have a cell phone and a plan with AT&T, and do not want to sign up for another two year contract, one can purchase an unlocked phone, take his/her sim card out of the old phone and put it in to the new one, that the new phone should activate normally. An unlocked phone should not inter fear with your current year plan.
A locked phone means:
You have to buy the phone from the carrier, and you have to sign the carrier’s yearly or multi-year contract.
In order to buy an unlocked phone, you’ll have to purchase it from a non-cell phone company (such as Apple.com, Amazon.com, eBay.com, Sam’s Club, WalMart, etc.)

Okay, I’ll say it for you – “A review on an iPhone cover???” Give me a break, it’s a slow news day.
A few days ago, I wrote that StarTrek.com was selling an iPhone cover for the device. While writing it, (and beings I am a die hard fan) I decided to get one (the captain’s one).
So, I got it yesterday. It came in a nice (Apple-like) box. The display of the item was very Apple-like as well.
The actual cover itself is kind of slippery, so you may want to be careful when handling the device.
Putting the cover on was quick and easy – not like some of the others where you need a pry bar when trying to get it on. I haven’t tried taking the cover off yet, though.
The device’s buttons are easily accessible and are not crammed in to holes that you have to fit the device in just right.
All in all, except for the slipperiness I’d recommend this for any Star Trek fan in your life.
For those of us who have been waiting to purchase an iPhone 4S, as of Monday morning, it seems that Apple has finally caught up to demand of the device as the wait times have fallen from 2-4 weeks to 3-5 business days.
This may be old news, but I’m putting this up as a FYI anyway….
StarTrek.com has been selling Star Trek themed iPhone 4/4S covers. The back of the cover has the ever famous Star Trek officer’s badge on the back, and sells for $19.99/Each.
