This week, Walter S. Mossberg answers readers' questions on Apple's new iPad

Q: I have noticed that, on my new iPad, parts of the back get warm or even hot from time to time, something I didn't experience on the iPad 2. Is this just me?

A: No, I've had a number of others tell me the same thing, including some who described their iPads as getting "hot." While I didn't notice this on the iPad I tested for my review, I have noticed some mild warming once or twice, briefly, on the new iPad I bought for myself. The company says that, because of the larger battery and the greater power being consumed, it wouldn't be unusual for parts of the back of the device to feel warm from time to time. If it gets uncomfortably hot, I would advise you to take it back to the store. Apple says it shouldn't get so hot as to be uncomfortable to use.

Consumer Reports said Tuesday that it had run lab tests showing the new model runs up to 13 degrees hotter than the iPad 2 when playing an action game uninterrupted for 45 minutes. But the magazine said: "When it was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period."

Q: I have read that, because of the higher resolution on the new iPad, apps and content will take up more space. Does that mean I either have to keep less content on the device, or buy a model with more capacity?

A: According to Apple, it all depends on the app and the nature of the content. The company says apps that are very graphics or photo intensive may swell in size if they want to take full advantage of the new, sharper screen. Others, which mainly rely on text, can either stay the same size or grow only slightly.

As for content, the biggest issue will likely be photos and videos taken on the iPad itself, which create dramatically larger files. I suspect relatively few people will use a large tablet frequently as a camera. And because of the screen, some people may be tempted to download more high-definition videos, which take up more room. Whether you need a model with greater capacity depends on what kinds of apps and content, and how much, you plan to store on it.

Q: I bought the new iPad and agree with you that text is incredibly sharp, but I've run into some apps—including The Wall Street Journal's—that looked fine on the older model, but fuzzier on the newer one. Are developers upgrading their apps?

A: Apple says that most text, even on older apps, still looks sharp, because they use the iPad's built-in fonts, which have been adjusted to match the new screen. And that has been my experience. However, on some apps, text looks more pixilated on the new high-resolution screen, because they use custom fonts. Developers are starting to release updates to fix this issue, as well as to sharpen their graphics. As for the Journal app, the publisher says a version that is retuned for the new display is in the works and is planned for release around April 1.

Apple's new iPad getting taken apart.
(Credit: iFixit)

Flying to Australia to be the first to buy one of Apple's new iPads sounds a bit crazy to start with. So how much crazier is it to do that... and then tear the thing apart?

The folks at iFixit have done just that, putting their newly acquired "new iPad" through a full tear-down. While a complete version of that report has yet to come, the service is doing a "live tear down" akin to a live blog you'd get at a news event, uncovering parts of the unit as it's taken apart piece by piece.

One of the first findings is that the model numbers on the back of the display are similar to ones used by Samsung. Samsung was reported to be the sole supplier of the Retina Display panels for the new device; however, other manufacturers have apparently disputed that, albeit anonymously. Clearly finding something distinctively non-Samsung would be more compelling, but the iFixit teardown bolsters the initial claim.

In the past, these reports have provided a detailed look at Apple's construction techniques and the parts it uses. While Apple now publishes a list of its suppliers (PDF) as part of its annual supplier responsibility report, teardowns had previously been one of the only ways to figure out where the company was sourcing some of its components.

Some other tidbits so far include that the connector that hooks up the display to the logic board is different from the one on the first two iPad models, thus confirming that the leaked Retina Display panel that cropped up in mid-February was legit.

The 4G LTE chip comes from Qualcomm, while the 802.11 a/b/g/n chip with Bluetooth comes from Broadcom. Separately, the A5X chip was made by Samsung, which iFixit notes was manufactured in the first week of January this year.

We'll keep updating this post with more findings as they emerge.

Google is popular, but Privacy is concerned: Pew

According towards the Pew survey, only 38 percent of on line adults realize that there are methods to restrict the quantity of private information collected by websites, using the abolition within the web of history, using the the privacy setting parameters within the website and also the browser modifications as the most famous methods.

Google remains the lookup motor by far the most famous inside U.S., however it seems that there is increasing concern about privacy and also the quantity of private information from Google as nicely as other lookup engines are picking up users, according to a latest questionnaire through the Pew web & American lifestyle Project.

The Pew survey, announced on March 9, discovered that 83 percent of respondents say they make use of Google, another reminder of society's domination more than other alternatives regarded as Yahoo, ms and Mozilla Firefox Bing. there was so overwhelming fulfillment in the expertise of consumers of lookup engines, possibly Google or elsewhere.

However, the questionnaire performed in February, so a increasing unease, with hints quantity of private information about these engines would be the selection of users, possibly to customize lookup outcomes or long term provide additional targeted advertising.

About 73 percent of web consumers Thurs not want lookup engines to track their investigation and use this information to customize long term results, due to the fact they see an invasion of privacy, even though 65 percent feared it could restrict the information which they would inside long term outcomes of investigation and information that could possibly be online.

68 percent of consumers do not want due to the fact they are uncomfortable using the conduct of specific marketing on line is tracked and analyzed, the examine said. Twenty-eight percent mentioned they like specific advertising, due to the fact it provides them information about solutions and matters that most curiosity them

The questionnaire shows that web consumers are becoming additional dependent and pleased using the lookup engines to find information, but at a similar time, most have a increasing discomfort using the quantity of information from these engines will be the selection research, as Kristen Purcell, the Pew web statement within the Deputy Director of investigation and author. Eighty-one percent of lookup motor consumers mentioned they usually or most within the time to find the information they seek, even though 86 percent mentioned they learned a little something new or important.

"A obvious vast majority of researchers say they really feel they do not shed sight within the background of lookup engines lookup is an invasion of privacy, as well as care concerning the lookup outcomes are restricted to what is regarded appropriate to them. "

This arrives at a time when Google and others searching like Facebook and Microsoft, are theme to evaluation through the growing quantity of private information it collects about consumers and what they do using the data. Google, in particular, reside inside center of attention, which made modifications towards the privacy policies of this month. Google announced in April changes, which essentially permits info on the on line conduct of the user in any within the Google lookup services along the lines of search, YouTube, Gmail and Google + - coming jointly once again to produce a profile additional total user, advertisers can then be utilized for solutions of specific destination. Critics argue that that is another way for Google to enhance on line marketing by making a additional total profile of the users.

European Union officials have questioned no subject whether the plan modifications violate the laws within the United States, and also the electronic digital Privacy information Center, final thirty day period sued the Federal buy and sell Commission expects the fact that regulatory impact of excess fat to cease Google modifications to come.

"Many people today are worried about ads and particular research, but most consumers do not really feel they are able to carry actions to restrict the quantity of private information is collected and utilized by lookup engines and websites," mentioned Joanna Brenner , Pew web and web Coordinator co-author, in the study.

Former NSA Head: Hitting Iran with Stuxnet Was a 'Good Idea'

The former top-ranking military intelligence officer in the U.S. armed forces discusses Stuxnet on this week's episode of "60 Minutes," and he may give some ammunition to cybersecurity watchers who believe the United States had something to do with the sophisticated computer worm that wreaked havoc on Iran's nuclear program in 2010.

Retired Gen. Mike Hayden called the sabotaging of Iran's nuclear program with Stuxnet a "good idea" during an interview with Steve Kroft to be aired this Sunday, according to an episode teaser sent out by "60 Minutes" on Friday (see preview clip below).

Hayden, a former director of both the National Security Agency (1999-2005) and the Central Intelligence Agency (2005-06), told the CBS news show that he doesn't know who was behind Stuxnet, but in the 18 months since the cyberattack that destroyed more than 1,000 Iranian centrifuges occurred, there has been much speculation that either the U.S., Israel, or both countries may have developed and deployed the worm.

"This was a good idea, alright? But I also admit this was a big idea, too," Hayden told Kroft. "The rest of the world is looking at this and saying 'Clearly, someone has legitimated this kind of activity as acceptable.'"

Stuxnet, unlike the computer viruses that attack PCs and other consumer devices, targets critical infrastructure systems—specifically industrial control systems like the SCADA systems used to control centrifuges used at Iran's nuclear reactor.

Hayden told "60 Minutes" that Stuxnet, or something like it, could one day be used against the U.S. "So there are those out there who can take a look at this ... and maybe even attempt to turn it to their own purposes," he said.

Built by a Tiny Team?

Nobody has proven who was behind Stuxnet, but last December a pair of security researchers said they believed it and the related Duqu computer worm were based on a common software platform built by a dedicated team of malware developers around the end of 2007.

"We believe Duqu and Stuxnet were simultaneous projects supported by the same team of developers," Kaspersky Lab researchers Alexander Gostev and Igor Soumenkov wrote in their December report.

Stuxnet spreads through Microsoft Windows but specifically targets Siemens supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Duqu, discovered in September, is thought by many security researchers to be virtually identical in origin and makeup to Stuxnet, though it appears to have been tweaked to steal information from industrial control systems rather than damage them like its cousin.

"In terms of architecture, the platform used to create Duqu and Stuxnet is the same," Gostev and Soumenkov write. "This is a driver file which loads a main module designed as an encrypted library. At the same time, there is a separate configuration file for the whole malicious complex and an encrypted block in the system registry that defines the location of the module being loaded and name of the process for injection."

Gostev and Soumenkov have dubbed the code kernel they believe is underneath both computer worms the "Tilded" platform, in reference to its authors habit of using file names starting with "~d". In its first iteration, the Tilded platform was used to create at least one spyware module in 2007 or 2008, and "several other programs whose functionality was unclear" between 2008 and 2010, they said.

The researchers believe the platform underwent "its most significant change" in the summer or fall of 2010. That produced Stuxnet, which now has four driver file variants that have been identified, and Duqu.

They also think the Stuxnet/Duqu story has yet to be fully told. Kaspersky Lab last year came across previously unknown driver files they think may have been part of early Tilded platform-based spyware modules that didn't appear to be associated with Stuxnet but which may have been predecessors to Duqu.

Gostev and Soumenkov think that what they are probably seeing is various stages of the "evolution" of the driver files used to "load and execute a main module" like Duqu or Stuxnet. The authors of those driver files wouldn't write new ones from scratch, the researchers said, but instead would "tweak ready-made files."

Commonalities between versions of the driver files for Tilded platform-based worms suggest not just a common ancestry for Stuxnet and Duqu, but common authorship of the programs by a team working together, according to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.
