Submission + - Why NOT make inter-platform games? 2
cookiej writes: "Just got the most recent version of the Madden franchise (10) for the PS3. Can someone who knows explain to me why EA has separate networks for the platforms, not allowing them to compete against anything but the same console/PC? Back in the day, there WERE large discrepancies between the consoles but these days it seems like say, the Xbox and the PS3 are at least near the same level. Assuming by release 10 of this franchise, they've got to have a pretty standardized protocol for networking, it seems arbitrary *not* to let them compete.
Or am I just missing something obvious?"
Submission + - iPhone security compromised?
mrbluze writes: "A rather shady blog has made as yet uncorroborated claims that Russian hackers have found a vulnerability in the iPhone which causes it to send all stored data to a web server:
They reverse- engineered some functions and published this information. Results of a research shocked community. Russian hackers found a built-in function which sends all data from an iPhone to a specified web-server. Contacts from a phonebook, SMS, recent calls, history of Safari browser — all your personal information can be stolen.
Has anyone sighted the whitepaper?"
Submission + - BBC bans all phone in competitions
kooky45 writes: The BBC has been caught cheating viewers out of thousands of pounds by faking phone-in competitions across a wide variety of its programs, including flagship charity events like Children in Need. In response they have banned all phone in competitions on their TV and radio channels, and will be pulling competitions from online services very soon. This latest embarrassment follows last week when the BBC was fined £50,000 for faking another phone-in on Blue Peter, their most popular children's show. This is just the most public revelation in a scandal that is going to get bigger in TV media.
