That’s right one of the worlds most loved mobile apps is going to Facebook. Angry Birds which first debuted in on iOS devices in December of 2009 is now making the move to one of the world’s leading websites. 

The new version of Angry Birds is going to offer social network goers some more features not included on the Mobile or other Internet platforms. Angry Birds on Facebook will offer power-ups to allow players to beef up their arsenal against the competition. While Angry Birds is free to play however, the power ups are not. Power-ups can be purchased at the rate of 20 per 1$.

There are some users that are not to terribly happy with the new version however. Many people are saying that this should have been designed on HTML5 code rather than Adobes Flash Player 11. Guess it goes to show that Adobes not entirely out of the game yet…

That’s right, scammers are out in full force to steal anyones credit card information they can get their hands on. The sad thing is most times, including this attempt, consumers freely but unknowingly give the information to them with little to no hesitation.

Hitting just after Christmas is over is an email scam that is targeting new Apple product owners. The email is designed to look as if it is a legitimate email with carefully written grammar and official looking links to an even more official looking website.

Unsuspecting users are directed to the fake website and instructed to login to their account and update their billing information. Logging into the users account immediately sends the user to a account update page that asks the user for the normal billing information and pretty much gives the scammers full access to use your credit cards how they like.

As we’ve said many times, you have to be very, very careful with your personal information. Generally, due to scams like this, it is a good idea to go directly to their website and login to your account to do updates rather than following any links contained within emails. Links in email can easily hide malicious websites which can harm you simply by browsing to them.

If you are unsure if they really need your information, look up the customer support number on the legitimate website and give them a call. If you speak to customer service more than likely they can clear up any confusion as well. Better safe than sorry always.

Apple update’s their Operating Systems to for their mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, etc…) to version 5.  With much added improvements and several bug fixes.  One thing that was improved upon is the way Apple’s iOS handles notifications.  Previously users received a pop-up message displaying they had a new text message or a missed call, but now with iOS 5 Apple has implemented a notification system similar to that of Android.  Users can now swipe from the top of the devices display and quickly see everything from missed calls to text messages.  Users of iOS 5 can now also decide what they want to synchronize with iCloud.  Everything from email messages to calendar appointments and even contacts!  This feature happens instantaneously allowing users to access content anywhere with no delay.
iOS 5 is set for release this Fall 2011 and looks to bring with it a lot of great new functionality.  Keep up-to-date with Apple and iOS here.

In the event that every parent’s worst nightmare were to come true, the FBI has developed an App for that. That’s right the FBI is even jumping on board with the mobile craze. This past week the FBI developed a new App that allows a child’s parents to add crucial information to help law enforcement agency’s find missing children more quickly. Once parents setup that appropriate contact information (of their local authorities) the App allows for one click emails, emergency calls, etc. to them which gives authorities more of the precious time needed to try and find the missing child.

The strange thing about this new app is that they chose to release it on Apple products first. With Android holding a significantly larger portion of market share when it comes to mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets one would think that would have been the platform of choice first. At any rate generally apps that hit Apple products end up on Android fairly quickly so if you have children keep an eye out for this app it just may be your child’s life line.
