智能平板設備用戶的Wi Fi困惑
Q: I think we may have goofed. We bought a tablet that claims to be 'Wi-Fi only.' Can it be activated to handle 4G cellular data?
問：我覺得我們可能迷糊了。我們買了一部據稱“只能連接Wi-Fi”的平板電腦。這部設備能否用來接收4G蜂窩數據？A: It's highly unlikely. To use cellular data, a tablet needs extra chips, antennas, and other hardware and software, similar to what a smartphone includes. If it says 'Wi-Fi only,' that very likely means it lacks this hardware.
答：相當不可能。要接收蜂窩數據的話，一部平板電腦必須配備額外的芯片、天線以及其他硬件軟件，配置就像智能手機那樣。如果該設備標明瞭“只能連接Wi-Fi”，那麼極有可能意味着缺少這種硬件。In fact, if you compare the specs on, say, an iPad, or a Google Nexus 7 tablet, you'll see that, not only are the prices higher for the 4G cellular versions, but they weigh slightly more, to accommodate the cellular gear.
實際上，你可以看看iPad、谷歌(Google) Nexus 7等平板電腦的說明書，就會發現4G版本設備不僅價格更貴，而且也略微重一些，這就是因爲需要配置蜂窩設備。
Q: I am trying to monitor my teenagers' iPhones. I bought an app called PhoneSheriff based upon good reviews. However when I went to install it, it says to ensure the targeted iPhone is 'Jailbroken.' I believe this will void the Apple warranties. Is there anything I can do to monitor my teenagers' iPhones without jailbreaking?
問：我正嘗試着監控我家小孩的iPhone。因爲評價不錯，我購買了一款名爲“PhoneSheriff”的應用，但安裝的時候，系統提示稱要確保目標iPhone已經“越獄”了。我認爲越獄的話會使蘋果授權失效。有沒有什麼不必越獄就能監控我家小孩手機的辦法？A: There's an app called TeenSafe that claims to be the only monitoring system for iPhones that doesn't require that the target phone be jailbroken, which essentially means hacking the phone to accept apps that Apple hasn't approved.
答：有一款名爲“TeenSafe”的應用，據說是唯一一款不要求目標手機越獄的iPhone監控軟件；越獄實際上意爲黑入手機以安裝未經蘋果批准的軟件。It apparently works via the Web and relies on your knowing your children's Apple IDs and passwords (presumably, even if they change). I haven't tested or reviewed the app, so I can't recommend it.
該軟件似乎是通過網絡運行的，但首先你必須知道你家孩子的蘋果ID和密碼。我還沒有測評過該款應用，因此我沒法推薦。
