Link found that will reset some Samsung Galaxy phones without warning

A security hole has been discovered that allows some Samsung Galaxy phones running TouchWiz to be automatically factory reset without warning. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S2.
It was found by ex-Gadget Geeks presenter Tom Scott, among others, and all unsuspecting users have to do is go to a webpage via a specific link and their phone will be wiped back to how it came in the box.
"The USSD code to factory data reset a Galaxy S3 is *2767*3855# and can be triggered from browser like this," wrote Scott.
Developer Tom Hutchinson, who has helped Pocket-lint work out the incredibly damaging bug, says that the security blunder affects the Samsung Galaxy S3 too. The Ace, the SGS2 and S Advance have also been found to be affected so far. "Most, if not all Gingerbread phones or newer running TouchWiz will be vulnerable," he claims.
The fear is that those looking to wipe out Samsung phones would be able to embed the code easily on a website without Galaxy owners even realising what was about to happen. It could easily be used in a QR code too, and unwittingly scanned by a user.
In testing on the Pocket-lint SGS3, we've been unable to get the command to work. However, Arnoud Wokke, a journalist at Tweakers.net, claimed on Twitter to have the bug affecting the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Galaxy S Advance. He too was unable to get it working on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S III.
Worrying, nonetheless.
UPDATED 26 September: Samsung has told SlashGear that Galaxy S III users should ensure their phone is running the latest software as this resolves any issues:
“We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the GALAXY S III
has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all GALAXY S III customers to download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service.”

WordPress Theme Review : Pinboard by Themify

Pinterest has obviously gotten a lot of attention lately,it focuses on visual appearance to spread your words and it is one of the best way inspire people nowadays. Pinterest is using dynamic grid layout, features an auto stacking layout with infinite scroll. Themify created Pinterest style theme for WordPress name Pinboard that uses an auto stacking layout with infinite scroll.  The Pinboard theme is working perfectly and responsively on any resolution using a desktop or mobile devices, such as iPad, iPhone, Blackberry and Android.

A. Installation

Installation is very easy just like other WordPress theme.

1. Upload the theme via FTP to WP-Content > Themes folder

2. Go to WP-Admin > Appearance > Themes > Pinboard > Activate

B. Setup

This documentation is really helpful. They even provided sample content within the theme folder if you new with WordPress or just want quick guide to setup the theme.  I imported the sample content into Pinboard install. I quickly get same content and look with Demo site.We can change all content later.

Pinboard Settings page is also easy to use. I just configured what I need and what I want for the theme to display. In a matter of minutes, I was able to configure the settings, widgets and colors. It worked really well.

Pinboard has 7 theme skins, we don’t need to create custom color. If you want your site display different color every week, this theme made that easy

C. Look

The theme look alike Pinterest, especially small board layout. The infinite scroll work well and very fast to load. Medium and Large boards are also good, you can provide as options for visitor to choose just like demo site. I also view Pinboard on Android/iOS (responsive), it just as amazing as Pinterest. The theme also support lightbox gallery for images, videos

D. Pros & Cons

Pros

The interface in the WP Dashboard allows significant theme changes without worrying about coding.

Cons

You can upload featured image via Themify Custom Panel, however no option to change it to uploaded images in Media Library
I don’t use this feature much, instead I go straight to Media Library to upload then set featured image or change it by set another image as featured image

Conclusion

I recommend Pinboard by Themify if you are looking Pinterest style theme for WordPress. The features is amazing, overall is easy to install and use.Pricing is also competitive and fit to budget
