Keeping a mobile device secure is something many worry about. But if you an iPhone or iPad, the security of any Mac can be increased when paired with the Keycard app.

The way that the Keycard app works is that the iPhone or iPad is connected to the Mac computer over Bluetooth. When the user walks away from their computer with their device in hand, the screen of the mac locks automatically.

This is a great help for those who work out of coffee shops, or just use their Mac in public places often. The automatic screen locking provides an additional barrier to thieves who may be looking to steal information off a users laptop. It may not keep them from stealing the laptop, but Keycard provides a good step toward keeping your information private.

New year, new Apple rumors. There’s speculation circling the interwebs about the Cupertino based tech giant potentially testing the waters with different colors and screen sizes for its next iPhone. Of course, this all started from an analyst last month who came out with a bold proclamation that the iOS maker’s next-generation iPhone could launch in the middle of this year with as many as 6-8 colors.

Now another analyst by the name of Brian White from Topeka Capital Markets, has come out with a report today that piggybacks off that earlier report. However, White also believes the next-generation iPhone will carry different screen sizes as well. White’s explanation for the different colors goes as followed:

“Our checks indicate that the next iPhone will have more choices for customers. This entails an expansion in both the color patterns and screen sizes with the next iPhone (i.e., likely called the iPhone 5S) that we currently believe will be launched in May/June with certain supply production starting in March/April.”

He’s basically using the assumption that more colors to come based off of what Apple did with its latest iPod Touches. White also dove into the prospect of different sized displays, suggesting that Apple could be entertaining the idea to better accommodate customers who like specific form factors. He wrote, “We believe this is about to change with the next iPhone offering different screen sizes that we believe will allow Apple to better bifurcate the market and expand its reach.”

Honestly, I don’t see any reason for Apple to increase the size of its screen, especially after it just made the decision to do so after five years of rocking the same 3.5-inch screen. Furthermore, we all know how psychotic Apple is when it comes to pixel density, so messing with its current structure makes no sense. As for different colors, I could see this happening because people are tired of being offered the same black and white flavors.

The next iPhone and its accompanying iOS 7 software have apparently turned up in developer logs, indicating that the next-generation phone is already in the testing stages.

The log, shown off to The Next Web, highlights the code "iPhone 6,1". The iPhone 5 -- Apple's current flagship -- bears the moniker iPhone5,1 or 5,2 in the logs, suggesting that this is indeed the next generation of phone.

Without any further details however, it's impossible to judge whether the phone is a complete overhaul in the form of an iPhone 6, or whether it relates to a more modest update in the form of an iPhone 5S. The log also refers to the next iteration of Apple's mobile operating system iOS 7, although again, details are nonexistent. Apple typically releases developer versions of its software at its WWDC event in June, so we may have a while to wait before we hear anything more concrete.

Remember when you purchased your first iPhone, received your first telephone call on it and were entirely perplexed when the screen turned itself off every time you raised the device to your head during the call? I certainly remember getting the original iPhone in 2007 and believed the behavior based on the inclusion of the proximity sensor was nothing short of with craft. As I learned more about the device it became obvious that switching the display off in those circumstances was a pretty clever idea and now thanks to a new tweak users can invoke that functionality at will through a pre-defined gesture.

The new Always On Proximity tweak is a package that gives the end-user control over the hardware sensor that forms part of Apple’s iOS devices. Apple obviously made a conscious decision to include the proximity sensor in the iPhone in order to reduce heat emissions from the display when the user has the device against their face as well as reducing overall battery consumption thanks to the screen being turned off. The developer of this jailbreak package has decided that those benefits should be enjoyed at any time by allowing the proximity sensor to be activated or deactivated at will.

Just like a lot of other packages within Cydia, Always On Proximity makes use of the Activator package from Ryan Petrich to allow users to specify a custom gesture to invoke the given functionality. When that gesture has been set from within the Activator preferences panel in the Settings application, the proximity sensor will be enabled meaning that any objects close to the top of the device will force the screen to be disabled. Inputting the custom gesture again will disable the features.

Other than making a telephone call or placing the device into a pocket to disable the screen, I can’t really think of any other really useful uses for this package. Some users may find that it saves a little time to be able to slide the device into a pocket without needing to lock the phone, but considering it takes less than two seconds to unlock it doesn’t really seem worth it. With that said, the package itself is free so always worth checking out.

Always On Proximity is available as a free of charge download from the Big Boss repository with no specific iOS version requirements being given.

Facebook’s Poke app has taken the App Store by storm, and in less than a day, already sits aloft the iTunes Free app chart. The app, which, in essence, is a chat app with a few twists, only just released for iPhone, but already, has become the most popular free on the App Store.

Google made similar waves when it released its Maps app for iOS, but while Google Maps was deemed by many as a necessity thanks to the shortcomings of Apple’s stock Maps app, the success of Facebook Poke is perhaps a little more of a surprise.

Then again, maybe it shouldn’t be all that surprising. After all, Facebook really seems to have got it together with regards to creating solid, clean apps, and where many users would berate and pour scorn over Facebook for iOS with every new release, it now offers a great service to those looking to network on-the-fly.

Facebook seems keen to dissect its services into separate entities, and having already brought the likes of Facebook Messenger and more recently, Facebook Camera to the fold, the arrival of Facebook Poke seems – if anything – an inevitability.

It’s the perfect time for the likes of Facebook and Google to be releasing apps, and two of the most influential companies in the game have capitalized on the boom in downloads during the holiday season. At this time of year, folks are contacting friends and family more so than they would if it was another month, and by offering a relaxed messaging service, Mark Zuckerberg’s team has certainly struck the iron while it’s hot.

As well as the contact side, lots of people are – or will soon be – firing up brand-new iOS devices, and instinctively looking for content to fill up the home screen by checking the top apps sections. I’d suggest the vast majority of Facebook users will download the Poke app out of pure intrigue, and having used it myself earlier today, I was very impressed by its seamless nature.

With a billion users, it’s easy to see why Facebook’s latest export has gathered so much traction. Whether it withstand the test of time and remain there in one, two or three weeks’ time remains to be seen.
