It has been a while since a sensationalistic piece on Apple and security has made the news rounds. The latest “security flaw” is that the iPhone takes a temporary screenshot of every window to generate shrinking effect of a window when the home button is pressed. A “forensics expert” has managed to recover said screenshots from the device. So let me get this straight, a guy has managed to mount the iPhones hard drive and look at the screenshots?

I’ve moved www.brad-x.com into colocation. Until now the server had been operating on various types of local business class connectivity, providing limited bandwidth capacity. This quickly proved inadequate and went unresolved for a long time, so I’m glad to say the server is finally where it belongs, on 100mbps fiber.

It is impossible to have a conversation about Linux without someone brining up Ubuntu Linux. Whenever I mention that I dislike Ubuntu people either giving me the introduction to Linux speech or simply look at me funny. The matter usually comes up unexpectedly and I do not have adequate time to get my thoughts together and properly explain my disapproval.

iChm is a chm reader for Mac OS X, before iChm the two most popular clients lacked some of the major features and are absolutely hideous. iChm is Cocoa based, has an excellent tabs feature, is able to search through documents, and it has tons of other useful quirks.
