Facebook is blocking Instagram Competitor Vintage Camera to access their API
Antoine Morcos of Vintage Camera has made an appeal to the iPhone publishing community, including us with the following message;
The reason for the app being denied of uploading photos, according to Facebook, is that it was receiving a “high amount of negative user feedback”, which is not true…
As you can see in the attached screenshots of Facebook developer admin, for a total of 1000 to 3000 photos shared per day via Vintage Camera application, only 1 or 3 negative feedback are reported on Facebook, which we think is due to an inappropriate use of Vintage Camera application. This is less than 0,3% of negative feedbacks.

Significant iPhone 5 battery life improvement with iOS6.1 and saving tips
After complaining about some 3G issues with the new install yesterday, today I can report you something very positive about the new mobile OS. Last evening I charged my iPhone fully until nine o’clock in the evening. I answered some emails on the iPhone 5, went to bed early, set my alarm clock, received some messages in the mean while and fell asleep. This morning snoozed my alarm 3 times. Arriving at work I looked at my screen around 8:30 AM and it still showed 100% battery life. And that is cool, never happened before. It would at least have gone down around 10%.

3G toggle switch gone in iOS 6.1 and other 3G issues
Because of the security updates in iOS 6.1, I decided to upgrade my iPhone 5 yesterday. I recommend this to everyone who takes security seriously, however realise that this might impact the iPhone’s 3G behaviour.
This morning I looked at my iPhone and saw the 3G icon in the top bar. Strange, because I always have it disabled. I noticed yesterday that after the firmware upgrade and reboot, 3G was active. This is the default setting after each new upgrade, so I switched it back off afterwards. How can the iPhone then switch alone to 3G?
