NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter, a tool of choice for dissidents and activists around the world, found itself the target of global outrage Friday after unveiling plans to allow country-specific censorship of tweets that might break local laws.
It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time. Twitter insisted its commitment to free speech remains firm, and sought to explain the nuances of its policy, while critics — in a barrage of tweets — proposed a Twitter boycott and demanded that the censorship initiative be scrapped.
“This is very bad news,” tweeted Egyptian activist Mahmoud Salem, who operates under the name Sandmonkey. Later, he wrote, “Is it safe to say that (hash)Twitter is selling us out?”

It is quite precise to say that more of iPhone (mostly 4S) running on iOS 5+ are facing battery life problem with fast draining. However Apple failed to solve the problem with software update but seem like there is a tool on Cydia claimed to solve this problem with a simple tweak which is currently sold for $4.99 but it is NOT. This tweak can’t solve anything.
This tweak is called iOS 5 Battery Fix. After measuring by two iOS hackers, Dustin Howett and Sam Bringer, iOS 5 battery fix can’t do anything or solve the battery life problem.
This is what Bringer said:
There has been a lot of hype recently about a 4S ‘Battery Fix’ – DHowett found that all it does is replace /System/Library/CoreServes/powerd.bundle/com.apple.SystemPowerProfileDefaults.plist
I looked for any possible impact of this
While this sounds good… we’re changing the power settings right? The reality is that it does absolutely nothing.
We would like to recommend you to stay away from this tweak. Make sure that you won’t fall in to this kind of trap in the future.
