Jailbroken iPhones Get Rick Rolled

It's about time that someone did this. A hacker by the name of "ikee" created what apparently is the first iPhone worm, though it only affects jailbroken phones currently in Australia. The way it is able to control you phone is that when you jail break the phone every default root password is changed to "alpine", which makes password protection null-in-void. The system changes your wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley and attempts to install itself on other jailbroken phones across the network. We highly recommend you change your root just to be safe.

Video - Sony Ericsson XPERIA commercial is awesome?

About a week ago, this ad was thrown out on the internet. Its an ad for Sony's new XPERIA, a more advanced flavour of the Ericsson. The commercial starts out with a fancy lady walking into a store which apparently sells running shoes, sunglasses and XPERIA's. She then gets distracted by the XPERIA, and takes it to a coffee shop/tailor boutique and shows off the flowing and sexy interface. It goes on and on, but this commercial is different, its really neat! Video after the break...

Verizon attacks AT&T - iPhone on island for misfit toys for Christmas

Right when we thought that the days of "there is a map for that" were over, Verizon comes back with a 1-2 punch directed at AT&T, namely the iPhone. In the ad they take the iPhone and they put it on the island for misfit toys, featured in the 1964 Classic Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. We would think Verizon would be done with the attack ads, since AT&T suing them, but they are sticking with it.
