Let’s not forgote we have another enemy: China. The PLA is increasing their capacity to spy and infiltrate our compueter systems. This article should send chills.

GOT news for you: The Chinese are eating our cyber lunch.

In the last few weeks, the media have been filled with reports of Chinese cyber spies penetrating the computer networks of both presidential campaigns and even the White House, reading unclassified, but clearly privileged, e-mails.

Unfortunately, that’s only the beginning of it.

No surprise that the Chinese would be interested in what’s being said in the White House, even the non-secret stuff. White House staffers have access to plenty of information that would be of interest to the chaps in Zhongnanhai (the Chinese leadership compound).

IPhone Software Update

Last week we had a post about the problems some users are experiencing with their shiny iPhone 3Gs. Apple has released a software update, which I’m now installing. (Just sync up your iPhone with iTunes and choose “Check for updates.”) No details from Apple yet on what this is supposed to fix or add, but it’s a 248.7 megabyte file.

UPDATE at 8/20/08 12:13:40 pm:

It’s performing a firmware update, which (fingers crossed) could be a fix for the 3G connectivity issues.

UPDATE at 8/20/08 1:44:26 pm:

No difference in connectivity as far as I can tell.
