Dash for iOS Returns to the App Store

May 24, 2017 by RSS Feed

In October of last year, the popular iOS (and Mac) app, Dash, was pulled from the digital storefront following reports of “review manipulation” by Apple.

The entire month of October was a back-and-forth between the developer of the app, Bogdan Popescu, and Apple, as they tried to straighten out the situation, which eventually devolved into the app staying off the digital storefront as the developer claimed the account tied to the app had been mishandled by a third-party. Apple surfaced evidence of its own, and, before October closed out, it seemed like Dash might not make it back onto the iOS App Store.

However, months later, Popescu is back, announcing on his official blog that Dash for iOS is back in the App Store. According to Popescu, following a variety of different “pirated copies” of Dash making it onto the App Store, he wanted to make an official version of Dash once again and make it available for iOS users. As a result, he created a personal developer account that Apple accepted, and Dash has once again made a return to the storefront:

“Quite a few “developers” have even added it to the App Store themselves, violating the GNU GPL license in the process. Apple has been very responsive in removing these apps, but the developers kept adding it back in different shapes and forms and I got tired to fill the same copyright claim forms over and over.

I’ve made a personal developer account which Apple accepted and the review for Dash for iOS went through without any issues. I hope this will somewhat stave off the pirated copies of Dash from appearing on the App Store. We’ll see.”

Popescu notes that the Mac version of Dash will be sold directly through his website, so it won’t be making its own return to the Mac App Store like the iOS version has.

Here’s the official description of Dash for iOS, by way of the official landing page for the app:

Description

“Instant search and offline access to any API documentation you may need.

Dash is an API Documentation Browser that gives your iPad and iPhone instant offline access to 150+ API”

Dash for iOS is free, and you can find a link to download it below.

Comcast’s Xfinity Mobile is Now Available

May 23, 2017 by RSS Feed

Earlier this year, Comcast announced its own MVNO, a brand new wireless service that accesses Verizon Wireless’s network called Xfinity Mobile.

And now that service is available. There are two rate plans to choose from. The first of which costs $12 per gigabyte of data usage, and also offers unlimited access to text and talk. The other rate plan runs $45 per month for X1 Infinity Internet customers for unlimited data, talk, and text. It will cost $65 per month for everyone else.

However, for a limited time Comcast is offering the $45 per month, per line deal to all of its internet customers. So even if you can’t access, or just don’t want to access, the X1 infinity bundle option, you can still sign up for the MVNO at a slightly discounted per month rate.

The unlimited plan comes with a soft cap, too. If you use more than 20GB of data per month, Comcast says it will reduce your internet speed down to 1.5Mbps, so be aware of that.

It’s also worth noting that you can’t bring your own device to this MVNO, so you’ll have to buy one from Xfinity Mobile. They have the PRODUCT(RED) iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus available, as well as the more traditional color options, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and the iPhone SE as well. The MVNO also has a few Android-based options as well.

With the new service now live, do you plan on taking advantage of the MVNO’s rate plans?

How to Use New 1Password Travel Mode to Protect Your Data

May 23, 2017 by RSS Feed

The next time you’re traveling across the border, consider using 1Password Travel Mode. It’s an easy method to prevent certain passwords from getting intercepted if your iPhone or Mac is held by border agents. This way, even if you surrender your device’s password, only passwords that you deem safe for travel are accessed by law enforcement. Here’s how to turn it on and start using it.

1Password Travel Mode

I’ll start by noting that the new Travel Mode is only available for those with a 1Password membership. It isn’t enough to buy 1Password and unlock the Pro features. The membership is a monthly subscription and starts at US$2.99 for individual accounts.

AgileBits, the creator of 1Password, explained the new feature in a blog post. Travel Mode goes beyond hiding your vaults, or making them “invisible.” They are actually removed from your device, including the encryption keys. Even if a border agent forces you to unlock 1Password, there is no way they can tell that Travel Mode is enabled.

If you’re an enterprise user with 1Password Teams, the administrator has control over which company secrets your employees travel with. You can turn Travel Mode on and off for each team member.

Before you start, you’ll need to determine which passwords are safe for travel. Examples might include accounts to innocuous websites. If you’re a non-U.S. citizen, you may need to hand over your social media passwords to TSA agents.

Set up Vaults for Travel

1. To get started, sign into your account on 1Password.com. It’s probably best to create a new travel-safe password vault. You can do this by clicking New Vault on your Home screen on the 1Password website. Name your vault, and give it a description.
2. To move items to the new vault, open the vault with your passwords and select the ones you want. Click the share button and choose Move/Copy. Click Move next to the travel vault. Do this for all items you want to move.

Using Travel Mode

1. Once you have finished setting up your travel vault and moving safe passwords to it, click the pencil icon on the vault. Select Safe for Travel, and click Confirm.
2. Next, Click your account name in the top right and choose My Profile.
3. Click Enable Travel Mode.
4. On the devices you’re traveling with, open and unlock 1Password. Vaults that haven’t been marked as safe for travel will be removed from the app.
5. When you’re done traveling and safe, return to My Profile and click Disable Travel Mode.
