Apple Error Leaves iPhone Developers In the Lurch 379

canadacow writes "iPhone developers enrolled and active in the iPhone OS 2.0 beta program got a nasty surprise today when Apple inadvertently 'expired' the recently released version. While for a beta program this typically would not be an issue, Apple has yet to release a new deployment of the iPhone OS. So developers like myself who use their iPhone for both actual phone and iPod use are bricked. Of note, this particular expired build is just 11 days old."

Google StreetView Is In Your Driveway 439

hermit_crab writes "Janet and George McKee are the neighbors of the Borings, who we discussed yesterday as the couple suing Google over StreetView. The McKees own a house that is featured in a much more intrusive set of Google StreetView images. 'The Google car continued past the steps leading to the McKees's front door and came to a stop outside the house's three-car garage (and next to the family's trampoline and portable basketball rim). Taking photos all the time, the Google vehicle was squarely on private property, a fact that presumably should have been apparent when the gravel path became paved.' Unlike the Borings, the McKees have not announced intentions to sue Google, nor have they requested to have the images removed."

The Road Kill Diet 5

In a blatant attempt to become the next Iron Chef UK, a Kent man has vowed to eat nothing but wild food he can forage, including road kill, for a year. Fergus Drennan will gather his food within a 10 mile radius of his home. Starters on his menu include such things as mushrooms, berries, nuts and acorn coffee. Dead squirrels, foxes, badgers and rabbits he comes across make up his main courses and he plans on using their skins for clothing. Lets hope he's purchased a lot of Altoids.

Submission + - Wikileaks, JP Morgan and the Insider-Trading Howto (wikileaks.org) 1

An anonymous reader writes: Wikileaks hits the locusts again! In an internal JPM document published today, Wikileaks exposes JP Morgan's efforts to circumvent insider trading regulations, enabling the really wealthy clients to profit even when others are losing. The document reads like a how-to and explains such maneuvers under the hood of SEC Rule 10b5-1, which had been considered subject to abuse for some time already. Now this abuse is publically documented and shall not pass unnoticed!

Submission + - Wikileaks publishes FBI VoIP Surveillance document (wikileaks.org)

An anonymous reader writes: The folks on wikileaks have published a new interesting and shocking report: FBI Electronic Surveillance Needs for Carrier-Grade Voice over Packet (CGVoP) Service.
The 88 paged document, which is part of the CALEA Implementation Plan was published in January 2003 and describes in detail all needs for surveillance of phone calls made via data services like the internet.
Wikileaks has not published any analysis yet, so maybe some of the techies hanging around this end of the internet are interested in taking that one on. Go for it!

Submission + - Wikileaks releases Los Alimos atomic bomb diagram (wikileaks.org)

An anonymous reader writes: Wikileaks has released a diagram of the first atomic weapon, as used in the Trinity test and subsequently exploded over the Japanese city of Nagasaki, together with an extremely interesting scientific analysis. Wikileaks has not been able to fault the document or find reference to it elsewhere. Given the high quality of other Wikileaks submissions the document may be what it purports to be, or it may be a sophisticated intelligence agency fraud, designed to mislead the atomic weapons development programs of countries like Iran. The neutron initiator is particularly novel. "When polonium is crushed onto beryllium by explosion reaction occurs between polonium alpha emissions and beryllium leading to Carbon-12 & 1 neutron. This, in practice, would lead to a predictable neutron flux, sufficient to set off device."

Submission + - Wikileaks calls for global boycott against eNom (wikileaks.org) 5

souls writes: "Seems like the folks at Wikileaks are on an anti-censorship-spree again: In a press release announced earlier, the site calls for global awareness and support in a boycotting campagin headed towards eNom., Inc., one of the top internet domain registrars, apparently involved in systematic domain censoring.
It appears eNom on Feb 28th shut down wikileaks.info, one of the many Wikileaks mirrors held by a volunteer as a side-effect of the court proceedings around wikileaks.org. That not being enough, the New York Times reported earlier this weekon numerous cases of domains held with eNom just disappearing, in connection to a Treasury Department driven blacklist that looks like a fairly random compilation of domains and information in a massive file.
Wikileaks calls for a global boycott of eNom and its parent Demand Media, its owners, executives and their affiliated companies, interests and holdings, to make clear such behaviour can and will not be tolerated within the boundaries of the internet and its global community."
