The fun thing about those exploits are that Apple patched them pretty darn quickly (for current versions of iOS). How often do carriers/manufacturers put out security patches for Android devices? That's a serious question -- I'm really curious, 'cause that's the biggest single issue with Android security in my opinion and I would *love* to be wrong.

Weird, because every Cisco router that I've worked with allows you to create tunnels without encryption. I'll grant you that they're a bit of an obscure company in the networking arena, so you may have a point...

About 50 million angry birds and wave after wave of plant eating zombies disagree with you. There is a market for low-end casual games.

I don't know what the situation is in the US, but in Canada Virgin Mobile is owned by Bell.

Strictly speaking, every computer in the real world is a finite state machine that's complex enough to simulate a universal Turing machine. It's a subtle difference that really only matters if you're considering the math behind it ;)

The iPhone 4's resolution is 960X640, which is actually not too bad.

A two finger drag will scroll inside a text box.

I'm (genuinely) curious about this. What would be a case where you want to encrypt data that's transmitted and also not care that it may be intercepted, and/or altered by a "man in the middle"? Without proper authentication, how can you ensure that you're communicating with the correct site, and if you don't care, why bother encrypting?

Objective-C is easy enough...Cocoa and XCode are less so. (posted from an iPhone, for what it's worth)
