32 Years Later...
Happy Birthday Apple.
Apple (Computer) Inc. was born on this date, 1976. Now if I could finally get a new computer. Eight and a half years on this iMac is enough.

The First iPhone Virus... Not!!
When will these attention whores (the "virus" writers and Mac "news"/rumor sites) stop!?
The First iPhone Virus ArrivesWe were all waiting for it and it's finally happened. The first iPhone trojan has been discovered.
Targeting only "jailbroken" iPhones (which have been modified to allow the installation of third-party applications), this trojan masquerades as an update Erica's Utilities and is named "113 prep." Simply running the application causes no harm - it simply prints the word "shoes" to the screen. Uninstalling the application, however, removes certain files from the iPhone's /bin directory, making it impossible for various applications to function correctly.
I'm not going to provide a direct link to the screaming banshees that wrote the above (especially since it's actually a rather harmless trojan). Nor will I quote the niggardly "security" firm meatheads because they're trying to scare up potential customers. Like several posters have written on various Mac-centric websites about anyone that was foolish enough to jailbrake their iPhones: The chickens are coming home to roost!

Nigeria's 'First' Gay Movie
[ headsup via Bernie ]
Restless and daring AMAA "Best Director 2005," Dickson Iruegbu is set for another first. He is currently shooting Nigeria's first gay movie entitled "Sinful Saints.""'Sinful Saints' is a very controversial movie. It deals with a very sensitive but neglected topic; homosexuality. The movie will explore homosexuality in Nigeria," Iruegbu revealed. According to him, the movie would seek answers to such questions as whether it is African or a burrowed culture.
How did it creep into our society? How do we discuss issues relating to sex with our children? Do we frighten them with or experiences. The family is the ultimate unit of society but unfortunately, most homes lack good ways of teaching sex relayed issues.
"Sinful Saints" is the story of a sheltered kid, whose over protective mum (Clarion Chukwura) sheltered him so much that at age 19, he'd had no contact with a woman.
Meanwhile his hormones were raging but Ignorance has set in and he clings unto his fellow man to satisfy his sexual needs. Soon he is enmeshed in homosexuality.

RIP Or Good Riddance?!
Think Secret will no longer be published.
I was never conflicted: Think Secret never suffered due to it's journalistic zeal, but rather, because of its immoral actions. Encouraging the stealing and dissemination of trade secrets had nothing to do with journalism. Apple screwed up by being too harsh in the beginning of its lawsuit. But they had a right and obligation to pursue the leaker and those that encouraged them and profited from them. End of story.
