Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "According to photos, support discussions and their own description pages, Apple has removed the ability to add events in the iPod touch's Calendar application, even while it uses the same operating system and application frameworks as the iPhone. The article shows captures from the modified US features page compared to the international pages, which haven't been changed yet, as well as analysis on this kind of artificial product segmentation similar to Microsoft's Windows marketing strategy."

theelemur writes "Yesterday AT&T admitted to censoring non profanatory lyrics critical of US President George W Bush from from a Pearl Jam performance shown on AT&T's Blue Room entertainment site.

Buffer Overflow in RFID Passport Readers->
Submitted

epee1221
epee1221 writes "Wired ran a story describing Lukas Grunwald's Defcon talk on an attack on airport passport readers. After extracting data from the (read-only) chip in a legitimate passport, he placed a version of the data with an altered passport photo (JPEG2000 is used in these chips) into a writable chip. The altered photo created a buffer overflow in two RFID readers he tested, causing both to crash. Grunwald suggests that vendors are typically using off-the-shelf JPEG2000 libraries, which would make the vulnerability common."

An anonymous reader writes "I can only imagine that in the wake of Congress's recent approval of the Bush Administration's spying on American communications, I'm not the only one wondering how to maintain my privacy when talking or emailing friends abroad. I know there are plenty of ways to encrypt traffic, but is there anything that that magic combination of strength and usability that will allow me to a) feel safe and b) have my British grandparents email me without difficulty? What are the current options for both VoIP and SMTP?"

Filed under: Tablet PCs
These days, you better bring your A-game when promoting a product in an already (somewhat) saturated market, and Dell has certainly given it its best shot with a recent Latitude XT promo. The video showcases a gentlemen who is apparently fed up with his other tablet and the incomprehensible grief it has caused him, and rather than selling it to another poor sap and waiting it out for Dell's forthcoming alternative, he takes matters into his own hands. Needless to say, the poor machine didn't stand a chance against a mighty electrical saw, and while we highly doubt the impending Latitude tablet could either, it's a comical watch nonetheless. Check it out after the break.[Via GottaBeMobile]

Armed guards are reportedly enforcing a takedown and shredding of old Saturn V posters from KSC office walls that show rough internal layouts of the vehicle, and a website that is a source for various digitized blueprints has been put on notice it may well be next. No word yet if the assignment of a Karl Rove protege to oversee NASA has any connection..."
