Mars’ Grenade is the follow-up single to Just The Way You Are US singer Bruno Mars has scored a double chart success, with number ones in both the singles and album charts.
His single Grenade held on to the number one spot for a second week and his album Doo-Wops and Hooligans went straight into the top spot after selling 86,000 copies.
Grenade held off Adele’s new single Rolling In The Deep – from her new album 21 – which entered at two.
Grenade is Mars’s second number one single after Just The Way You Are.
The song is still in the top 20 at number at 18.
The trio behind the song were last week named by Music Week magazine as the most successful songwriters in the UK chart in 2010.

There are plenty of news apps for the iPad, but I’m happy to see USA Today aggressively improving what was already a useful and easy to use app.
Version 2.0 is still free, and has added more extensive tech coverage. Tech reviews feature iPad apps, and there is a video player, along with a spiffy This Week in Space section. The app also has increased travel coverage, along with a map that displays airport delays.
The app now multitasks in iOS 4.2 and the developers seem to have squashed a nasty crash on start up many people were seeing.
With more and more news apps like the the New York Times and the Washington Post getting ready to slip behind a pay wall, it’s nice to see USA Today maintain this app as a free service.

Apple has hired David Rice, executive director of the Monterey Group and faculty member with IANS, as its global director of security. It’s the latest in a series of high-profile security hires for the company. Former Mozilla security chief Window Snyder was hired as a senior security product manger in March.
Mr. Rice may be familiar to some readers as the author of “Geekonomics,” a book about “the astonishing lack of consumer protection in the software market and how this impacts economic and national security.” Rice suggests that software is infrastructure, and the risk of a poor security in consumer and business software is, in fact, a security risk to all of us.
Rice goes on to suggest that taxes may be required to spread the cost of reducing risk and that weak security in the tech sector is a matter of public policy, not just of private enterprise building unsafe systems. An analogy is made to the auto industry in the 50s and 60s, where style trumped safety. It will be interesting to see how Mr. Rice’s employment at Apple bolsters their security profile going forward with the rise of iOS devices in enterprise and government.

The evidence of a shift in Apple’s wireless chipset choices for upcoming iDevices is growing stronger. First there was Engadget’s strongly sourced report indicating that Qualcomm (the key innovator/inventor in the CDMA space) was going to take over the radio component sourcing for both the iPhone 5 and future iPads, instead of the Infineon hardware that’s been used up until now.
Add to the pile this new post from jailbreak impressario Zibri, who says that there are key items in the current iTunes build that clearly show support for a Qualcomm baseband. It’s great that they’re there, don’t get us wrong, but chances are they’re in place to cover the forthcoming/announced Verizon iPhone rather than future unannounced iPhone and iPad versions. In fact, as far back as August of 2010, TechCrunch put a stake in the ground and predicted a January 2011 launch of a CDMA Verizon iPhone based entirely on the chain of component orders that could be traced back to Qualcomm’s manufacturing partners.
Any time there’s a drastic shift in the architecture of an Apple product, the component story has to change along with it (see the 68040 to PowerPC transition, PPC to Intel only five short years ago, and hard-drive-based to flash memory for iPods as past examples). Chances are we will be hearing a lot more about Qualcomm in the weeks and months to come.
Thanks to Zibri for sending in the tip.

On Friday, we got a rather nervous tip from reader Julian (echoed in this MacStories post) pointing to his Apple Discussions thread about the future of @mac.com addresses. The thread cited a conversation with an Apple support chat representative that seemed to indicate an imminent end-of-life for the vintage mac.com emails, with all incoming and outgoing mail being forced over to the equivalent me.com address.
Since the mac.com domain predated the July 2008 relaunch of Apple’s web services as MobileMe by several years, many subscribers have never bothered to update all the various spots where their mac.com addresses are used, and the prospect of being pushed to do so is obviously a bit worrisome. It’s not at all clear, however, that this is actually happening, despite the rather sharp level of anxiety.
Why the agita right now? As with most Apple news nowadays, it begins with the iPhone. In a subtle tweak to iOS 4.2, Apple changed the MobileMe account setup to only allow the me.com address if you’re activating your mail account ‘fresh’ on the device.
While anyone who upgraded from 4.1 or earlier without deleting and reactivating accounts is completely unaffected, trying to set up a mac.com account under MobileMe on a 4.2 iPad or iPhone will always result in the me.com equivalent address being used for inbound and outbound mail. (Keep in mind that you will still get incoming mac.com mail regardless of the account setup, as the two addresses are linked to the same mailbox — [email protected] is the same as [email protected] as far as inbound traffic is concerned.)

Apple has aired a new iPhone 4 commercial which features both the fierce rivals; AT&T and Verizon. The commercial doesn’t show much other than both Verizon and AT&T’s phones performing the same tasks.
Watch the commercial after the jump…
Two is Better than one:
Verizon and Apple will launch the new CDMA iPhone 4 on Feb. 10 for a starting price of $199. [AppleInsider]

TinyUmbrella 4.21.05 is now available for download. Notcom releases TinyUmbrella 4.21.05 to save SHSH blobs for iOS 4.3 beta 2. You can download TinyUmbrella 4.21.05 from the link below.
For those who don’t know, TinyUmbrella lets you save SHSH blobs for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV which are required to be able to downgrade device firmware to an older version. Some of the recent untethered jailbreak tools like Redsn0w 0.9.7 also uses SHSH blobs to provide untethered jailbreak.
Though I have been busy, I have not forgotten you. I’ve just added iOS 4.3b2 support. For those of you with Apple Developer accounts, this means you can save your SHSH’s for that version and restore to it permanently. Keep me posted of any issues. I’m still working on my next big contribution to the scene…
EDIT: Ok so I had a FEW bugs. 4.21.05 should work peachy

iPhone Dev-Team has successfully ported RedSn0w 0.9.7 Jailbreak Monte, the untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak technique, to iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. Now the Dev-Team is working on untethered iOS 4.3 Jailbreak by porting the same Jailbreak Monte-4.1 to iOS 4.3 beta.
For those unfamiliar, Jailbreak Monte is an untethered jailbreak technique developed by the Dev-team which uses iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1. iOS 4.2b3 is not publicly available so, this technique encouraged iOS 4.3b3 piracy in an effort to get an untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. However, starting with next RedSn0w 0.9.7 beta update, Jailbreak Monte will use iOS 4.1 (which is publicly available) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1.
Now the iPhone Dev-Team is working on untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3 beta using the same Monte-4.1 technique in RedSn0w 0.9.7. Monte-4.1 untethered jailbreak technique won’t use any new exploit but the same iOS 4.1′s jailbreak exploit on iOS 4.3 (Wastes no exploits).
We hope that iPhone Dev-Team will succeed in porting Jailbreak Monte-4.1 to iOS 4.3. We’ll update you as we know more on iOS 4.3 jailbreak. Stay Tuned!

iPhone Dev-Team just confirms that untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak Monte has been ported to iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. It means now you don’t need iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 with RedSn0w 0.9.7 beta. Indeed a great news for all those who have iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs saved and want untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.
For those unfamiliar, Jailbreak Monte in RedSn0w 0.9.7 beta provides untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 firmware but it required iOS 4.2 beta 3 with SHSH blobs saved for it (beta firmwares are available to developers only). Now that Dev-Team has successfully ported Jailbreak Monte to iOS 4.1, which is publicly available, so anyone with iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs saved will be able to enjoy untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.
MuscleNerd also calls Jailbreak Monte a ‘Green Jailbreak’ which uses the same iOS 4.1 exploit to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1. So, no new exploit wasted.
Dev-Team is now working on porting the same Jailbreak Monte to iOS 4.3 firmware.
Note: If you do NOT have iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs saved you cannot use Jailbreak Monte technique, sorry. RedSn0w 0.9.7 currently supports Mac OS only, Windows version is still in development.
Greenpois0n is also expected to be released soon to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 untethered. We’ll keep you posted as soon as RedSn0w 0.9.7 new beta and Greenpois0n is out to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 untethered using iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. Stay Tuned!
