You’d have to keep your head in the sand to not know that Pinterest has taken off like crazy this past year.  Seems like everywhere you turn, someone is sharing something (pinning) a blog post about some craft, recipe, or activity that they really adore.  It’s all good, we’ve done it, too.  It’s probably the easiest way for us to keep an eye on what our friends are doing for the next birthday party or holiday get-together.  Be it a new snack, fun game, or clever way of spending time, Pinterest folks are going crazy.

Lookout updates security app in wake of Galaxy S III dialer scare

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 02:23 PM PDT

Remember the big story from earlier in the week where everyone was worried about Samsung’s Galaxy S III  getting remotely wiped?  Do you recall hearing how easy it would be to initiate a remote attack on select Galaxy models?  Yeah, well even after Samsung advised things were actually okay, the threat for such a problem still exists for other Android users. To that end, Lookout has updated its Mobile Security app to better handle such a problem.

For what it’s worth Lookout advises that they are “not aware of malicious examples of a dialer-based attack in-the-wild”,  adding that “it remains a concerning vulnerability: the worst known exploit results in total data loss”.

If you already have Lookout Mobile Security installed on your Android device then you are all set!

Google optimizes Flight Search for tablets

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 01:33 PM PDT

Google has optimized its Flight Search experience for tablets today, making it much friendlier on larger display sizes.  Users will now find that Google takes advantage of the extra space that comes with 7-inch screens and larger.  If you’ve not used Google Flight Search to track a flight or book an upcoming ticket then you’re doing yourself a disservice. It’s actually quite handy stuff to have and we’re only too glad to see tablets get some love with the newly optimized site.

Samsung mysterious device coming soon to AT&T?

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 12:00 PM PDT

Samsung is on a hot streak nowadays with devices like Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Note II, and their competitors are working on devices to get head-to-head with Samsung. Though, Samsung is not all about “high-end” devices, they are also focusing on mid-range devices as well, because not everyone is interested in “super-phones”.

A device showed up in a NenaMark2 Benchmark test, named as Samsung SGH-I437. In other news, the device is known as Samsung Talos and AT&T will launch it officially in USA. It will feature a Qualcomm 1.5 GHz Dual-Core Snapdragon S4 processor along with Adreno 225 GPU, and a display with resolution of 800×480. Though, it will be running on Android 4.0.4 a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich, so no Jelly Bean for Talos at the moment.

Well, are you planning to grab this mid-range device from AT&T? Tell us in the comment box below.
