iOS 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2 Security and Bug Fixes | iPhone 5c 5s improvements |

With the release of iOS 7 last month we have seen the best that Apple has to offer thus far. For some though, the many improvements to the popular iOS may be overshadowed by continuing bugs and security flaws, across the entire range of Apple's iOS compatible products. The iPhone 5S is having its newest feature, a fingerprint scanner, extremely criticized as being easily hackable. Apple does not completely agree with these claims but does agree that it is possible. The Touch ID scanner is reportedly able to be hacked with the installation of an exploiting application.

In only a few weeks after the release of iOS 7.0 two more versions have followed -- iOS 7.0.1 and 7.0.2. The 7.0.1 update was strictly meant for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, which contained various bug fixes and improvements as usual. iOS 7.0.2, released September 26th, contained major security fixes for the iPhone 4 and later devices. On these devices it was possible for a person with physical access to the device to be able to make calls to any number.

Description: A NULL dereference existed in the lock screen which would cause it to restart if the emergency call button was tapped repeatedly. While the lock screen was restarting, the call dialer could not get the lock screen state and assumed the device was unlocked, and so allowed non-emergency numbers to be dialed. This issue was addressed by avoiding the NULL dereference. -- Apple

Additionally someone with physical access to a device may also be able to see recently used applications, as well as see, edit, and share a users photos.

Description: The list of apps you opened could be accessed during some transitions while the device was locked, and the Camera app could be opened while the device was locked. -- Apple

These seem to be some rather serious flaws for a flagship operating system release although not uncommon for any OS release of this magnitude.  Apple reportedly sold over nine million new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C models in three days following the launch on September 20th. Additionally more than 200 million iOS devices are now running iOS 7, making it the fastest upgrade in history.

Logic Pro for Ubuntu Linux ? | Best Music Production Apps for Ubuntu | DAW Software for Ubuntu

Is there software like Logic Pro for Mac available for Ubuntu?

Most avid hobbyist musicians out there have likely heard of, or used, Logic Pro for Mac. This is one of many industry standard application for music creation; in fact it is even required by some college music programs. So you may be wondering, Is there anything like this for Ubuntu?

Well, yes, and a huge, resounding No! There are various Linux applications for music production but, nothing comes close to matching Logic Pro.

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Alternatives for Logic Pro, Cubase, or ProTools for Ubuntu:

Logic Pro X on OS X Lion 10.7.5 10.7.4

With the newest version of Logic Pro being released many Mac OS X Lion may be feeling left behind. That is, Logic Pro X requires the newest version of Mac OS X (10.8.4) Mountain Lion. Thankfully there are a few crafty OS X developers who have figured out a way around this, permitting Logic Pro X to function in an un-supported operating system version.

Those who’ve seen the Roman numeral X slapped onto Final Cut Pro may approach this release with some initial trepidation. Has Logic Pro been stripped of vital features to make it more accessible to GarageBand users? Is Apple abandoning professional audio engineers and musicians to cater to the prosumer user?No and no. While Logic Pro has indeed adopted some of the look of Final Cut Pro X—with its dark visage and panes that can be invoked or dismissed as the mood strikes—Apple’s digital audio workstation (DAW) has lost none of its power and gained valuable features on just about every front.

Logic Pro X has more than just a new look — it gives you new options you’ve never had before. You can work the way you always have, with the full power and depth of Logic Pro. Or if you’re exploring ideas, you can choose to work with a more streamlined set of controls to keep things moving right along. You can also personalize Advanced Tools to make your workflow match your creative flow. -- Apple.com
