Apple iPad Running Windows 95 Operating System
Last Updated on Monday, 12 April 2010 03:29 Written by DarkKnightH20 Monday, 12 April 2010 03:29
Why anyone would want to run the operating system (OS) Windows 95 on their Apple iPad, I do not know. However, it has been done anyway! It would be far cooler to have something such as Ubuntu on the iPad though, not to mention far more useful. Anyway, take a look at this video of Microsoft Windows 95 on the Apple iPad:

iPad Jailbroken Already Using Old Security Flaw
Last Updated on Tuesday, 6 April 2010 02:49 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 6 April 2010 02:44
That’s right guys, the Apple iPad has already been jailbroken! Don’t know what jailbreaking is? Well, to put it simply, it allows apps not authorized by Apple to run on the iPod Touch, iPhone, or, in this case, the iPad. This is usually done to run homebrew applications or games, and so forth.
A security flaw that existed in the iPhone 3.1.3 operating system (OS) was used that allowed for root access to be obtained in order to run these unauthorized apps. Expect updates that will close this hole in the near future!

Mac OS X is ‘safer, but less secure’
Last Updated on Monday, 22 March 2010 04:12 Written by Naota Monday, 22 March 2010 04:12
According to various tests conducted, Mac OS X isn’t as safe as people have been claiming. You can read about it in the article listed here.
It can be summed up here is my favorite quote from the article:
Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town.
I am not really a Mac user so I cannot offer my opinion on this. It is an interesting read regardless.

Free iPod Touch / iPhone App: Safe OR – Safety Checklist
Last Updated on Saturday, 13 March 2010 07:29 Written by DarkKnightH20 Saturday, 13 March 2010 07:29
This particular app, though well-rated (4/5 stars), is for select people really — people who work in the operating room. That doesn’t mean you can’t still go ahead and get it anyway! It is FREE for a limited amount of time. You can get it from HERE. Basically, this is a 19-point checklist with rules to follow in the operating room. Imagine someone whipping out their iPhone or iPod Touch in the operating room to make sure that they don’t kill you, lol. Here’s some information on it:
The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has recently been reported to reduce post-operative mortality by over 40%. This checklist has now been adapted into an easy to use iPhone App.
No need to remember the 19-point checklist – run through it on your iPhone. This tool is designed to help surgeons, anesthetists, OR nurses and other health care professionals reduce the risk of surgical complications and mortality.
Designed for use in the OR, this software was converted from cutting edge research to an iPhone app within a week of online publication. Now that’s knowledge translation at its best.
