I didn't get that from the article. How's a PDF file supposed to trigger the (vulnerable) firmware update mechanism of the printer?

I have read that, but they used tcpdump only to detect what kind of traffic Siri sends after failing to use a normal HTTP proxy. Setting up a custom SSL certification authority is exactly what sshmitm does - but it does not (yet) support tr

Unfortunately, Siri does not use the system wide proxy. At least it does not on my iPhone. I tried intercepting the traffic with sshmitm which did work for all other iOS services (e.g. game center) but not for Siri. I'm wondering how these

No, you don't. Installing a root ca an iOS device is as easy as sending it via mail to the device and then clicking on it (with a few more clicks to confirm). edit (because I can't reply): It does show a big warning and you have to enter th

Just as the internals of the iPhone were designed by Samsung? No really, do you have any source for this? Because after reading about Steve Jobs obsession with the internal design of a device in his biography, I don't believe Apple would le

Yes, for me too. Every time. Edit: Works in UIWebView though - might be a bug in the nitro JS engine.

Putting your applications in a sandbox prevents you application from being exploited. A bug in you chat software can't be used to get access to your private files anymore. It also prevents that chat software from installing malware on you m

That's the same for your alarm clock, your video game console, your TV, and maybe even your fridge. All these things run only the software that the vendor allows you to run. Why don't people complain that they can't install Linux on their c

I had the same idea a while ago and talked with someone working in the automotive industry about this. The problem is that battery technology is an important differentiator in the e-mobility market so there's no chance all car markers would

I really hope Siri is not so much about speech recognition but about "intention recognition". If something like "Text my wife that I'll be home at 8" really works without memorizing the exact phrase, then Siri is not just a voice interface,

As far as I know, webkit supports hardware acceleration for CSS transforms - so maybe that's the reason.

I just couldn't help but think how cool would it be if they slowly added spiderwebs and dust to the pages that are served to IE6 users.

I'd phrase it slightly different: What you will be able to do in HTML5 everywhere tomorrow, you can do in Flash today on desktops (assuming your browser does not crash and you can live with the roaring sound of your cpu fan).

But there's consumer demand for content. By your logic, the web will be advertisement free in a few months.

I think video will remain one of the last applications of Flash on the web, because there is no way to implement DRM in HTML5. What's interesting is that even the latest video chat applications by Facebook and Google do not use Flash but th

Even developers that know PHP inside out have to learn your framework first. I guess a good developer would pick up PHP along the way. As a side note, I never understand when someone says learning Objective-C makes iOS programming harder fo

While I think he's right that the OS should not automatically launch programs of an USB stick - how many people that are curious enough to plug in the stick would not double click "secret_documents.doc.exe"?

I just thought: DuckDuckGo should get a shorter domain name because it takes to long to type it. It thought of duck.com so I checked what's there, and to my surprise it redirected to... google! Looks like someone there also thought of this.
