Evernote Food For Android Goes v2.0 - Now Lets You Explore Recipes And Restaurants, Is Kind Of Amazing

Posted by in Applications, Apps/Games, News

When Evernote Food for Android was released last year, I had my, shall we say, doubts, about its real usefulness. Today's update to the app has significantly reduced them. Evernote Food has gone from being a tool to record your homemade recipes and restaurant eating endeavors into a food exploration experience.

Which is to say, now you can browse recipes from a large repository of popular sites, and look up restaurants. Of course, these features wouldn't be complete without a heaping helping of Evernote-infused awesomness. You can tag restaurants as "saved" (oddly, it doesn't seem you can un-save them), so you know you've been there, or want to go.

Evernote Experiences Security Breach, Resets Passwords As A Precaution

Posted by in Applications, News

The problem with relying on cloud services is that they are prime targets for hackers. Earlier today, popular note-storing service Evernote acknowledged that it had detected "suspicious activity" on the network. In its blog post, Evernote specified that the intruder(s) had only gained access to account details, including usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. The announcement further clarified that passwords are protected with one-way encryption, a process where a password is first salted and then hashed to make decryption extraordinarily difficult. The company also states that no content (stored notes and pictures) or payment information had been compromised. Aside from email addresses, the wrong-doers failed to get anything particularly valuable.
