Why?

It's much simple to send DMCA takedown notice to ubuntu.com and C&D letter to canonical.com]]>May 27th 2010 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/May 27th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/May 27th 2010 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/This is the stupidest nonsense I've ever heard. Blow out of proportion and out of context just like you always do.

Of course you can communicate with an iPhone/iPod when it's locked. How the hell are you supposed to sync with iTunes? Keep tapping your phone every 2 minutes to keep it unlocked?

Physical access = root access and that's true for every computer.]]>May 27th 2010 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/Oh and in case I wasn't clear enough.

You USB drives reveals its your private data when simply plugged into a Windows PC!!

Its the same thing. Windows doesn't natively support the iPhone filesystem, so it doesn't show up. That version of linux does, so it mounts it automatically as a drive.]]>May 27th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/
Sure, it might be intended, but its not very smart to do, especially if you are targeting the business market. To be honest, this is an easy fix.]]>May 27th 2010 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/

Not if its encrypted like mine? I'll just set my iphone to encrypted too! oh wait.......

If its gonna be "magical" thats fine, but it should probably keep my s*** safe.]]>May 27th 2010 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/

Only a jailbroken phone will show the root filesystem by this method. Jailed phones will only show the user's media and stuff.

Then it says:
"The way Ubuntu Lucid Lynx handles the iPhone 3GS [6,7,8] allows to get more content"

And to the people that say this is the intended way for it to work. The fact that apple verified this as an issue means you are wrong.]]>May 27th 2010 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/
This Engadget article is written incorrectly. The buffer overflow is not to get write access: he already has that.

Also, this is kind of irrelevant because an iPhone user will never have important data on there. I don't care that you're a mayor of a starbucks in foursquare :P]]>May 27th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/
Blackberrys (can) encrypt all their data, and this setting can be forced by the BES administrators.

One reason why Blackberrys are popular for enterprise--sure, the OS isn't as slick, and the browser needs a lot of work (WebKit can't come soon enough), but for many companies, protecting IP is their highest concern.]]>May 27th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://j.mp/os-4-0-by-iphone]]>May 27th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/iphone-vulnerability-leaves-your-data-wide-open-even-when-using/
But that doesn't matter, the jesusPhone is still destroying the BB in the enterprise market, right? Every company is switching to the jesusPhone, no?

Racist?!? What are you on about today you clown? I'm British and we use the term ARSE, whereas Americans type it ASS. What has that got to do with racism?
