As we all know, Dropbox has just enabled the new security feature which is 2-steps verification for even safer usage. I would say this all comes from the recent force hack on an iCloud account of a famous blogger cum writer. Furthermore, some accounts have been compromised due to unwanted app hacking etc.

No idea what the hell Dropbox is? This is what Wikipedia says about Dropbox:

Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, and client software. In brief, Dropbox allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronises so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of the computer it is viewed on. Files placed in this folder are also accessible through a web site and mobile phone applications.

When I heard about this, I was trilled as I was drying to get it done. Guess what?! It took me close to 2 hours to figure it out (on how it works). Well, I don't want anyone of you to have the same luck as mine and thus, here is how you going to get it done...the easy way of course.

Dropbox 2 factors authentication

 
Things you need to enable the Dropbox 2-steps verification:

• A verified and registered Dropbox account
• Smartphone with Google Authenticator app installed
• Some patience :)

Once you have all those prepared, you are now absolutely ready for some easy authentications using smartphone app:

1. On your smartphone, run the Google Authenticator app and leave it on.
2. From your laptop or computer, head to Dropbox > Your login name > Settings > Security > Enable 2-steps authentications.
3. If you are not able to see the option to turn on the 2-steps authentications, then you need to type this on your browser: Dropbox Two Factor
4. Let's assume you have completed all, then you are ready to click on the option 'Use a smartphone app'.
5. The barcode will be displayed and all you have to do is to go back to your Google Authenticator on your smartphone and select Scan Barcode.
6. A special 6 digits code will be visible and all you need to do is to type it in the box provided by Dropbox.
7. Walaa! You have successfully enabled the 2-steps authentications on Dropbox.

  Now, what happens you don't have a super high-tech phone? Is there another way to get this enabled? Of course there is and this is how you can do it:

1. From your laptop or computer, head to Dropbox > Your login name > Settings > Security > Enable 2-steps authentications.
2. Select the first option which is authenticate using a short message system (SMS).
3. Ensure that you get the country code and number right and hit Send.
4. You will received a SMS on your phone with the 6 digits code in it.
5. Key it in the box provided by Dropbox and you are now able to enable the 2-steps authentications on Dropbox for further security.

I know this is something very common among all of us. Especially for those who are new to the Apple and Jailbreak world, you might (or someday come across) wonder where you can download those free Cydia tweaks for free. Well, it is very simple and I am going to share with you these simple steps.

Battle Nations is one of the most anticipated and upcoming free game for iPhone, iPad and Mac. So what is Battle Nations all about? According to Wikipedia, Battle Nations is a freemium turn-based strategy video game developed and published by Z2Live. The game puts players in control of land with limited resources where effective management of resources will be vital to expansion and advancement. Building a productive nation then allows players to form armies which are used as the basis for the game's core: PvP combat in turn-based strategy warfare. Routine updates by Z2Live keeps the game fresh with new units and missions.

Setting up your base
This is just like any other games. Make sure you base is setup well and during the early stages, try not to turn on PvP as this might affect you dearly. Remember that in Battle Nations, you need to have a very balance number of resources, buildings and army. If you can get these three sorted out well, you are probably on your way to some serious fun!

Army is not everything; Strategy is!
During the early stages, try not to have too many armies in your inventory. As you can see, you have a specific number of populations and thus, having too many armies might actually effect you down the leveling path. If you have very limited populations, you will face many issues and the worst case scenario is to shut down some buildings just to cater for your 'appetite'.

When it comes to army, you need to know your men. Trooper is cheap but try not to have too many of them. They actually only comes useful when they hit Rank 4 and Double Shot comes available. The main armies that you should have are:

• Small amount of long ranged attackers such as Mortar and Grenadier which is extremely useful against armoured personnels and vehicles
• Some Shock Troopers as secondary tankers
• A few Riot Troopers as they are the best 'human shield' in game
• Focus slightly more on heavy vehicles for damage and tanking

5. Once the pop up window shows up, type in this URL: http://cydia.hackulo.us and select Add Sources. If there is a pop up asking if you are sure to add it, just click Add Anyway.

6. Now, allow Cydia to reboot itself and update. I do hope that by now, you are on WiFi as there will be a download going on background to update all the sources and packages. if you are not on WiFi, you should definitely turn it on right now!

7. Once everything is ready, search for Installous on Cydia and install it. Again, let it update itself for awhile. don't worry as Installous is free.

8. Once downloading is done, you can now fire up Installous which is located on your springboard. Now, every paid apps on App Store is basically in your hands and best part of all, they are all free!

So, how to download paid apps for free using Installous?

1. Search for the apps you are looking for in Installous. Make sure the name is correct though.

2. Select the app found on search results and select Download.

3. A list of downloads will pop up for you to choose and on the right side of the screen, you will be able to see the version number. Of course, the latest would be the best.

4. You will also see the first option which is Magnet. This is a pretty fast download using BitTorrent and yes, it is highly advisable to use it!

Important notes:

1. All those downloading are at your own risk and I am not held responsible for any damage or unwanted incidents happen to you or your iDevices.
2. You are not able to update them (if there is update) from Apple Appstore but you can do it via Installous.

Now, what else are you waiting for? Get your devices ready as you are about to open the world of downloading the best paid apps for free!
