24% of iPhone users in the UK are too broke to fix it when they break the screen. Probably because it cost so much to buy and use…they couldn’t even afford a case to protect it.
More interestingly, 57% of iPhone users in the UK break the screen at some point (most within the first three month), regardless or whether they have a case or not. Talk about a horrible design for a phone ;) .

Rip the benefits of green tea without the negatives

Green tea is really good for you because of its high content of catechins, but in order to rip the benefits, you need to drink 4-5 cups a day. The problem with that is that green tea also contains caffeine (up to half of what is found in a coffee cup), which is not so great for you, especially when you go over 200mg a day.

The solution is to throw away the first cup you make out of your tea bag as it will contain most of the caffeine and to only drink the second one. It will be just as tasty, but won’t hurt your nervous system.

Will new Android 4.0 phones better protect our personal data?

Now that Android 4.0 offers a keychain API, address space layout randomization (ASLR) and full device encryption for phones, I’m really hoping that Android phone manufacturers will start taking data/privacy protection issues seriously and offer something as good as what’s available on a BlackBerry.

It’s not just enterprises that need it. We store more and more information on smartphones and their associated cloud services and this data needs to be protected when at rest. Wiping a device after the device is lost or stolen is not enough. The first thing a thief does is to chuck the SIM card out.

iOS gets a mention for trying, but still fails and Android’s security model has been appalling thus far… so let’s hope 2012 will bring a much needed change.

Here is a list of all the new features of Android 4.0:

Be careful about what you install on a Mac laptop, you may allow a remote attacker to blow it up, literally…

Apple has finally released an OS with security features on par with what other companies are doing, but there are some serious problems with their sexy hardware. They’ve been lazy and careless and the chip that controls the battery can be operated using the default password. That’s bad security practice!

Charlie Miller, a security researcher has demonstrated that it was possible to drain the battery, make it unusable and thinks it’s possible to make it explode.
He will be releasing a solution/patch next month at the Black hat convention.
