Comment they actually killed tethering in 3.0.1 (Score 3, Informative) 684

"3.0.1 ONLY fixes the SMS vulnerability... nothing else" Isn't that what we were all told?

I noticed that the tethering functionality enabled by the profile from http://help.benm.at/tethering.php stopped working after my upgrade to 3.0.1

The use of this profile works on even an un-jailbroken phone.

They did it in a rather sneaky way. The UI for tethering is still there, and active. It even says 'tethered', when plugged in â" but the update causes the iPhone to ignore DHCP requests for an IP address from the external device, which then times out.

The problem was immediately resolved by revving back to the 3.0 firmware.

I tested both jailbroken and un-jailbroken, on both 3.0 and 3.0.1.

3.0 tethering works, jailbreak or not, 3.0.1 tethering does NOT work, jailbreak or not.

Shame on you Apple. If you're going to intentionally break functionality, at least be man enough not to lie about it.

Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again 329

miller60 writes "Three undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea have failed within minutes of each other in an incident that is eerily similar to a series of cable cuts in the region in early 2008. The cable cuts are already causing serious service problems in the Middle East and Asia. See coverage at the Internet Storm Center, Data Center Knowledge and Bloomberg. The February 2008 cable cuts triggered rampant speculation about sabotage, but were later attributed to ships that dropped anchor in the wrong place."
