New jailbreaked iPhone worm !
A new worm is added to the family of malware targeting smartphones from Apple. The International Institute SRI Malware Threat Center has published a study on a new variant of the worm iKee.B (duh) that transforms the jailbreaked iPhone into zombie machines.
Captured on 25 last month, this new variant targets jailbroken iPhones, one operator as its predecessors, a flaw in the SSH service present on all jailbroken iPhones.
IPhones become infected by the result of zombie machines controlled remotely by a server located in Lithuania, to divert their data.
This worm does not seem to worry that Apple keeps repeating that the use of jailbroken iPhones is a security risk
WordPress 2.9.1 Beta 1
Unfortunately, the recent 2.9 release triggered a bug in certain versions of PHP’s curl extension. With these versions of curl, scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly. To fix this problem as well as a handful of other, lesser issues, we are quickly releasing 2.9.1, the first maintenance release of the 2.9 line. Help us get 2.9.1 ready to go by testing 2.9.1 Beta 1. The easiest way to test Beta 1 is to install the WordPress Beta Tester plugin, elect to get on the point release development track, and then perform an automatic upgrade via the Tools->Upgrade menu. You can also download the Beta 1 package and install manually. Fourteen tickets have been fixed in 2.9.1 Beta 1. Since the curl problem and a couple of other problems are dependent on specific hosting configurations, any and all testing help is greatly appreciated.

WP.com – 2010: A Theme Odyssey
After the video from the core team meetup was posted, the topic that seemed to get the most attention on Twitter and various community sites was Matt’s announcement that there would be a new default theme in 2010, so I thought I’d start with that as the first of the meetup summaries.
When Kubrick was bundled with core back in 2005, it was a cutting edge theme. Custom header, rounded corners, clean design… if you were using WordPress back then, let’s face it, you were impressed. Time moves on, though, fashions change, new styles become old standards, and what was once cutting edge suddenly seems old-fashioned and out of date.
