Ardisson writes: Swiss iPhone developer Nicolas Seriot presented last night a talk on iPhone Privacy in Geneva. He showed how a malicious application could harvest personal data on a non jailbroken iPhone and without using private APIs. It turns out that the email accounts, the keyboard cache content and the wifi connection logs are fully accessible. The talk puts up several recommandations. There is also a demo project on github http://github.com/nst/spyphone/.

Submission + - What do you do when printers cost less than ink? 2

Unfortunately, replacing the black and color ink cartridges costs $81.92 + tax at the local store! That so bad that I got a replacement printer that's just as good and spare ink for less. But now I have a useless piece of e-waste that I can't even give away. What can you do with a printer like that? I hate to just throw it away.

The truth is, there is not enough information to answer the question. How much data? Acceptable down time? etc. How many suckers will donate?

Based on what they have now, which is under 350GB, they could just buy a bunch of single disks (300GB for under $250) and mirror/rsync/whatever them. Say they want more space. They can buy 2TB in RAID5 for ~$4400, so getting complete redundancy in equipment is only another ~$4400, not $12k. Not only that, it's 75% of the cost with 6x the original capacity.

I need more information on why they think the Dell is necessary to justfiy giving up money for what looks like a poor plan.
