iOS 7 experience on Android via iLauncher

Not all Android users give a hoot about
iOS 7, but we know there are a few of
you out there that may be a little
intrigued about Apple’s new operating
system. We have come across an
Android app called ‘iLauncher’, which
gives you the iOS 7 experience on your
Android.
This app is fairly decent, there is one
feature within iLauncher iOS 7 users
would love Apple to add to its next
update, a few iOS 7 users experienced
motion sickness when using the new
operating system, but this Android app
allows users to disable the zooming
function that makes iPhone users a
little sick.
iLauncher provides a similar experience
as iOS 7, same design with a few added
extras. Once you have installed this app
your entire Home screen will look like
Apple’s UI.
Main iLauncher Android app features
include smooth scrolling, the ability to
uninstall apps from the Home screen,
you can edit exit mode by pressing the
back button, support 5 rows mode just
like the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C. The apps
have rounded corners and gloss
effects; it also includes a dock bar
and so much more. The app does cost
just a little over $2, for more
information about iLauncher, please
visit the Google Play Store .
If you do decide to install the app you
must be aware that you may lose the
ability to add widgets to the Android
Home screen, shortcuts can be added
still.
Not sure why Android users would want
to add iOS 7 to their devices, but hey
we are sure someone would like to give
it a go. If you do decide to install
iLauncher please give another app some
thought, this Android app is called
‘Espier Launcher iOS7 ’ and unlike
iLauncher this one is free.

Facebook says bug exposed 6 million users' contact information

Facebook Inc has inadvertently
exposed 6 million users' phone
numbers and email addresses to
unauthorised viewers over the past
year, the world's largest social
networking company disclosed late
Friday.
Facebook blamed the data leaks,
which began in 2012, on a technical
glitch in its massive archive of contact
information collected from its 1.1
billion users worldwide. As a result of
the glitch, Facebook users who
downloaded contact data for their list
of friends obtained additional
information that they were not
supposed to have.
Facebook's security team was alerted
to the bug last week and fixed it within
24 hours. But Facebook did not
publicly acknowledge the bug until
Friday afternoon, when it published an
"important message" on its blog
explaining the issue.
A Facebook spokesman said the delay
was due to company procedure
stipulating that regulators and affected
users be notified before making a
public announcement.
"We currently have no evidence that
this bug has been exploited
maliciously and we have not received
complaints from users or seen
anomalous behaviour on the tool or
site to suggest wrongdoing," Facebook
said on its blog.
While the privacy breach was limited,
"it's still something we're upset and
embarrassed by, and we'll work
doubly hard to make sure nothing like
this happens again," it added.
The breach follows recent disclosures
that several consumer Internet
companies turned over troves of user
data to a large-scale electronic
surveillance program run by U.S.
intelligence.
The companies include Facebook,
Google Inc, Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc
and Yahoo Inc.
The companies, led by Facebook,
successfully negotiated with the U.S.
government last week to reveal the
approximate number of user
information requests that each
company had received, including
secret national security orders.
