iOS 6.1.3 is available now directly from your device using Software Update, or you can obtain it using iTunes sync. The changes are:
Not very exciting but the passcode bypass fix is a big one for me.
By default, new user accounts do not have access to use sudo command on a CentOS system. You have to manually add the users or their user group to the ‘/etc/sudoers file’. I do this as follows:
User ‘blogchampion’ now has access to use the sudo command.
You can also add all users within a particular user group to have sudo permissions. I do this as follows:
Now all users belonging to the bloguser user group have access to use the sudo command.
You probably also want to force users to use the root password when using sudo. See the post How to make CentOS ask for the root password with sudo for instructions.
When you add a user to the ‘/etc/sudoers’ file, by default that account will be prompted for their user account password when using sudo. But it is far better to force the use of the separate root password for these requests. You can accomplish quite simply by adding a rule to the /etc/sudoers file.
Now when a user account tries to use the sudo command, they will be prompted for the root password.

I have an iPod Nano I was trying to load up with some favourite tracks from artists I like. The Nano only has 16GB of storage, and I’m using about a third of that space already to manage podcasts.

This worked well for all but three of the tracks in my library where I was presented with the cryptic error message:
iTunes could not copy “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” to the iPod because the file could not be converted
