Submission + - IPhone battery program
epidemic99 writes: There is a story online that I will make a lot of Iphone users mad. Apple just released what it will cost to replace the battery in the Iphone. The battery repair, which can't be replaced by users and will cost $79, plus $6.95 for shipping! A consumer advocacy group sent a letter to Apple complaining that this information was not made public before Iphone's release since the cost of the battery replacement is so high. Even reviewer Walt Mossberg who is usually very kind to Apple was quoted as saying "some of them might be waking up now, wondering who they got in bed with."

It turns out that there is a software able to spy on Blackberries, and record voice conversations and all messages (emails or SMS text message) that transit through the portable devices. Of course, the software has to be installed by the owner of the Blackberry, but it would not be surprising to find out that someone has found a way to silently auto-install that software on RIM devices."
