First iPhone 3rd Party GUI App Compiles 196

CmputrAce writes "Well, it's here now. The #iphone-dev team has compiled the first third-party application for the iPhone. Of course, it is the standard "Hello, world." application, but it's native to the iPhone and uses the iPhone's GUI. This opens up the iPhone for development by anyone who can forge through the process of cracking the iPhone, installing the iPhone "Toolchain", writing an application, compiling, translating, and finally installing the application to the iPhone. With the pace of development at present, expect to see commercial "jailbreak" (mod-enabling) applications soon as well. You can already get high-quality applications (Mac) to theme the iPhone and add your own ring tones (Win) for the phone."

Encrypted USB Key With TOR, Firefox 170

An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo has a writeup on the new IronKey — a self-destructing, hardware-encrypted and -authenticated USB flash drive with on-board secure Firefox, high-speed TOR network, password manager, and online encrypted backup. Here is the demo page. $79 for a 1GB, $149 for 4GB." Ironkey works on XP and Vista only. Let's hope its self-destruct feature works better than Secustick's.

In Sweden it's the exact opposite. I almost got fired when I mentioned starting my own company on my free time, in an area quite far from what the company I was working from was doing.

Consequently, the no of new companies in Sweden is at an all time low, and dropping.

So, let me get this straight:

About half of the comments so far are about simoniker being missed, and they're all modded off topic. Why? Wasn't more than HALF the newspost about this very topic?
And come on, moderators, where's your sense of compassion, anyway? =)

Now THIS post, on the other hand, is clearly off topic, and SHOULD be modded likewise.
