Mozilla CEO blasts Apple for putting security of the internet at risk

This article is a few weeks old, but quite interesting.  It makes claims that Jobs is using Apple Software Update (specifically iTunes) to piggyback the Safari browser onto Windows machines.  Just last week I was prompted with an Apple update and questioned why Safari was trying to update on my boot camp partition.  I was sure I never had installed that browser.  Sneaky Mr. Jobs

iPhone update 1.1.3 - Released

Just seconds ago Apple released the long awaited update to the iPhone.  It’s about a 162mb download but well worth the wait.  Check out apple.com for a video of all of the new features.  There are a few cool features, but the GPS positioning is the most exciting for me.  Here are the features I have played with thus far.

  • The ability to send an SMS message to multiple people
  • Google Maps uses GPS to pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation
  • Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
  • You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
    • You can also add bookmarks to the home screen 
  • The home screen supports pagination

There are a few things I have not found…I hope they are in there somewhere

  • Copy and Paste
  • Voice recording
