If you want to give gifts to your buddy on this Christmas and searching for something special here is the post for you. Apple has just brought back the ability to gives apps as gifts.
Because if you are shopping for someone who has everything, surely there must be an app for that.
The feature was present in iOS 5, but Apple dropped it for iOS 6. But now it’s reinstated, you can get started on your Christmas shopping over at the iTunes Store.

All you have to do is open the App Store on your iOS device and choose the paid app you’d like to give. Click the Share button in the top right, and a Gift icon will appear.
Tap it, and enter your Apple ID password. You may also have to confirm your payment method.
Enter your recipient’s email address, and add a personal message, if you like. Select the date for them to receive the app, and a colour theme (like a digital version of wrapping paper), tap Buy Gift, and you’re done.
Of course, if you don’t know much about your recipient’s taste in apps, you can always give them an iTunes voucher through Facebook Gifts.

Lately, Apple has been experimenting with fingerprint technology and it’s many uses. There are already apps for iPhone that require a fingerprint (rather than a password) to unlock the phone, thereby providing optimal security. However, now, Apple has disclosed that, in combination with a mobileOne fingerprint pad, the iPhone can fight crime, too.

With this mobileOne device, an iPhone user may scan the fingerprints of those who have stolen their phone. The device is equipped with a FIPS 201/PIV fingerprint sensor, providing a full 256 bit grayscale, 508 dpi image in only 700 milliseconds. With the mobileOne technology and iPhone or iPod touch combined, a person can capture all 10 fingerprints and facial images in seconds.

It’s only logical that law enforcement would pick up on this crime-fighting technology. The FBI is currently testing different fingerprint technology and this iPhone fingerprint device is currently in the running. Starting the testing on the mobileOne and iPhone technology in 2012, the FBI announces that the technology will take a while to approve.

The FbF mobileOne device will cost around $600, a reasonable price for efficient and practical technology.
