Last night, an anonymous tipster pointed us to this Austin Heap webpage that purportedly reveals the iPhone's secret Application SDK key. Another tipster, also anonymous, then tipped me to iPhone "Elite" developer Zibri's blog, that shows the same key. So what does this mean? Since all iPhone applications must be properly signed for iTunes to process them and for the iPhone to load them, this key suggests that hackers are closer to creating compliant IPA application bundles for home-brew iTunes distribution. With the proper key, developers can create and distribute applications that load through iTunes without Apple's blessing.

Dieser Key ist es wohl: "18 84 58 A6 D1 50 34 DF E3 86 F2 3B 61 D4 37 74"

Nach der Aufregung vor einiger Zeit um den HD-DVD-Key jetzt angeblich der Key um eigene Applikationen direkt mittels iTunes auf dem iPhone installieren zu können.

Ich kann da jetzt gar nichts weiteres zu sagen, da ich nichts mit dem iPhone zu tun hab, aber wenn kundige Menschen Software erstellen können, klingt das für mich wie eine gute Sache.

Ein sehr schöner und nicht zu langer Artikel über den muslimischen Extremismus, kognitive Dissonanz und warum die USA an allem Schuld ist. ;-)

Does the US ’spread democracy’ or are we really the terrorists? Well, to put it simply - we are terrorists. If you are like most people, this statement is probably making you move your mouse to click to another webpage. Don’t, this post is your Wake Up Call. How could the United States of America, you ask, be terrorists? We help other countries, and are nothing like the Saddam Husseins or Bin Ladens of the world, right?

If you are still reading let me just say - you are completely wrong. Sorry. I know congnitive dissonance is going to push your mind to deny what I am saying, but press on my friend, press on! On the other side of the curtain is Knowledge. If everyone in America realized what I am about to show you, we might have a chance of changing things.

Yesterday, I mentioned the blog post I saw which was repeatedly censored by an IP address owned by the Department of Homeland security. This morning, I got an email from Rob, the author, saying that he’d been taken an involuntary trip to his local FBI building where he was held and interrogated for six hours!

Apparently, I actually did upset a few people with some of the information I posted. This resulted in an involuntary trip to the local FBI offices.

So from what I gathered in our conversation (if you can call it that - it was a bit one-sided), a couple of things set them off. They’ve got some tracking software sorting through everything out there, looking for certain keywords. If it picks up a keyword, you get put on a list and monitored. I got flagged the first time as a result of my post on Canada placing the US on its terror watch list. Among other things, mention of Guantanamo, Afghanistan, torture, and terrorism set the software off.

But standing up for your rights on paper is one thing; it’s a different story when they come knocking on your door and give you the opportunity to do it in person. A word of caution: this shit is real. Do what you can to stay off of that list, man.

Ziemlich traurig was das FBI da abzieht. Zum Glück leben wir in einem relativ demokratischen Land.

Die Spannungen zwischen der USA und dem südamerikanischen Neosozialismus weiten sich durch die Bankenkrise weiter aus. Wenn man sich überlegt das Venezuela und Iran ihr Geld da raus holen, würde ich mein Geld dort auch keinem mehr anvertrauen.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged his Latin American allies on Saturday to begin withdrawing billions of dollars in international reserves from U.S. banks, warning of a looming U.S. economic crisis.

"We should start to bring our reserves here," Chavez said. "Why does that money have to be in the north? ... You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Chavez said a new fund created by Venezuela and Iran to support projects in third countries would have links to the ALBA Bank.

A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or March, government officials said Saturday.

The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down, they said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is classified as secret.

Such eyes in the sky are used to gather visual information from space about adversarial governments and terror groups, including construction at suspected nuclear sites or militant training camps.

Wie beruhigend das wir beobachtet werden.

He said the sacrifices "included the killing of an innocent child and plucking out the heart, which was divided into pieces for us to eat."

Mr Blahyi, 37, is better known in Liberia as "General Butt Naked" because he went into combat with no clothes on, to scare the enemy.
