Friday is here..!
Friday is here and after a long time I'm enjoying the pleasures of working from home! Work is less busy today, important deliverables are completed on time, so a toned down day is well deserved 
. Some work, a cold Frappe, trendy clips on MTV and nice home-made food make up for a perfect start to a weekend. Just hope next week doesn't come quickly 
By the way! There is nothing to watch on the TV on a Friday afternoon... So watch the below

iPhone Security Hole….
I recently stumbled upon an article claiming to have found a security flaw in the new iPhone 2.01 and 2.02 software. Being sceptical to start with, I gave it a try... I was amazed to see that it is actually true!
Steps to recreate:
- Set in the Settings -> General -> Passocode lock to enabled. This should lock the screen with a password and forbid any unauthorised access.
- In Settings -> General -> Home Button, select Phone Favourites. When the home button is double clicked, the phone Favourites are displayed.
- Sleep the phone and wake it up. Slide to Unlock. Click on emergency call and double click on the Home button. WHAT! The phone favourites are displayed! Select to view details of a person and click on text messages. WHAT AGAIN! I can read, send and delete any message I want! Click on e-mail and you just got access to my corporate email!
So, what is the sollution? Set the Settings -> General -> Home Button to Home Screen. That will disable the security hole...
Well done Apple on this one...........

Summer vacation part 3…
So, it's August... Two thirds of summer is gonne... But I don't give up! Crete, here I come! It's the first time I'm visiting Crete ( yes yes I know I'm without excuse!) and from what I've heard I'm having really high hopes for it...
iPhone part 2.0… Queue frenzy!
So, the new iPhone is out today. As existing owners definitely know, 90% of the benefits in the new phone lie within the new software. However, there is this one little thing that makes the new iPhone more appealing... 3G. 16GB of storage is also a good incentive to switch. Yes, the existing iPhone is adequately fast, but faster is always better... Also as described in the economics behind iPhone here, the new iPhone is free on selected tariffs (even though it ends up being more expensive in the long run than paying up-front) and that will definitely lure a lot of iPhone wanna-be's that could simply not afford the original phone. So, out of curiosity I popped down my local O2 and Carphone Warehouse store to see what was happening...
iPhone: Behind the clever marketing…
As any half-decent technology fan knows by now, the new Apple iPhone was announced last Monday, with UK having the privilege to be one of the first countries to welcome it on the 11th of July. So what has changed from the previous model? Frankly, not much, but just enough to get you thinking about it. Especially if you consider the incredible price of.... free! Tempted? Lets take a closer look...

FYI, I never shop at TopShop. High Street is not particular bad for me. I love some of the pieces coming out occasionally. It can be a strive to find something that you’d been eying for months magically appears in 'Next' with less than 1/10 you intend to pay and 1/10 of the quality you intend to have. It’s all about high and low (a.k.a mixing cheap high street even charity shop bargain with the dreamy designer piece) - I convince myself. Hoping the punishment day will never come: running into someone 10 times less than ordinary or 10 times 'full figured' than you are, wearing the same bargaining treasure.
Three strikes and you are… OUT! (Updated)
Over the past 24 hours, one piece of news seems to take the centre stage: Virgin Media to partner with BPI, the British Polyphonic Industry, to combat illegal music sharing. As the official announcement states, Virgin Media is piloting an education campaign, during which, customers found illegally distributing music will receive a notification letter from both Virgin Media and the BPI. The accounts will be identified by the BPI which in turn notifies Virgin Media that has the responsibility of distributing the notification letters. For our "piece of mind" none of the personal customer information will be disclosed to the BPI, or at least that's what the official announcement declares.
