Chrome, Opera, etc are all rated as 17+ for “mature content” ans such by Apple.
So they think nobody with Safari will see any mature content?
What a laugh!

It looks like everything signed by an Adobe Code Signing Certificate can be malware
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/29
If I read Inappropriate Use of Adobe Code Signing Certificate my conclusion is that anything signed by the Adobe Code Signing Certificate since 2012-07-10 potentially can be malware.
As a precaution, I will manually revoke the certificate on all my systems (that’ll take a while!). If anyone knows how to automate that process, please post a comment showing how to.
Hitching on a trusted certificate of a big software company comes close to the ultimate hack: trojaning signed malware in the distribution of an OS vendor.

How to solve stuck iPad keeping asking for Exchange password (via: My Ipod touch is stuck in the password…: Apple Support Communities)
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/24
The missus had a stuck iPad that kept asking for her Exchange password (which worked fine in webmail).
Turns out this is a known bug and has a simple solution: Reset your iPad.
That solution works for both iPad, iPhone and iPod touch as lllaass answered:
Re: My Ipod touch is stuck in the password screen and I can’t turn it off or cancel. The screen that it is stuck at says :enter the password for the exchange account “exchange”

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Updating our Philips BDP5x00 BlueRay/DVD player, Philips PFL767x 3D TV and MyRemote apps for Android & iOS
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/01
Since the auto-update nor manual update feature of Philips devices over the internet never seems to work:
Today is Philips firmware using USB stick and app update time (:
One bummer is that the “firmware installation instructions” do not mention that you have to start with a cold boot one time before updating the devices. If you don’t, then the devices (especially the TV’s) do not recognize there is an update available.
So: always start with cutting the power (either by switch or by plugging the cable) then enabling power again. You only need to do this once before plugging in a USB stick with the update.
Another bummer there is that Philips does not publish direct links on their site either, so you have to browse through pages, select languages, then download the stuff. But the actual files are still static.
So below are the URLs of the pages and download links I used.
Note the links have been static, even over firmware versions.
- Android: Philips MyRemote – Android Apps on Google Play.
- Apple iOS: App Store – Philips MyRemote. / Philips MyRemote HD for iPad on the iTunes App Store.
- BDP
BDP | Toengel’s Philips Blog / TP Vision Blog. - Philips links for BDP5200/12
BDP5200/12 Philips 5000 series Blu-ray Disc/ DVD player BDP5200 3D playback DivX Plus HD Net TV – Philips Support. - PFL
Offiziell: Weitere Informationen zur 7000er Serie von Philips in 2011 (Update 18) | Toengel’s Philips Blog / TP Vision Blog. - Philips links for 42PFL7676H/12
42PFL7676H/12 Philips 7000 series Smart LED TV 42PFL7676H 107cm (42″) Easy 3D DVB-T/C with Ambilight Spectra 2 and Pixel Precise HD – Philips Support.
Some tips on the links of the Philips site above:
- Replace the 42 in the URLs with the screen size of your TV to get the download specifically for your TV.
- Replace DEU or ENG in the URLs with your own language abbreviation to try getting it in your language.
This is the list of language codes and languages that Philips uses: Read the rest of this entry »
