“The iOS 5 untethered Jailbreak is currently being worked on by numerous developers across the Jailbreaking community such as the Chronic Dev-Team. According to P0sixninja (head of Chronic Dev), who spoke at MyGreatFest, there are numerous iOS 5 untethered exploits available. Meaning Jailbreaking the iOS 5 untethered should not be a very big issue. It is just a matter of converting one of their exploits into a usable Jailbreaking solution such as GreenPois0n. Additionally, i0n1c (responsible for an untethered Jailbreak in the past) mentioned that the iOS 5 untethered Jailbreak was already covered by other people.”

“The SEC guidance issued Thursday expands the list of things subject to disclosure to include computer intrusions or theft of data that could affect investor decisions. For example, if malware infiltrates a company’s computer network, the company “may need to discuss the occurrence of the specific attack and its known and potential costs and other consequences,” the SEC guidance said. It also says companies should disclose the risk of cyber incident if they are “among the most significant factors that make an investment in the company speculative or risky.” ”

“Experts—journalists, analysts, consultants, bankers, and gurus can’t “do” so they “advise.” They can tell you what is wrong with your product, but they cannot make a great one. They can tell you how to sell something, but they cannot sell it themselves. They can tell you how to create great teams, but they only manage a secretary. For example, the experts told us that the two biggest shortcomings of Macintosh in the mid 1980s were the lack of a daisy-wheel printer driver and Lotus 1-2-3; another advice gem from the experts was to buy Compaq. Hear what experts say, but don’t always listen to them.”

Tools like PittPatt and other cloud-based facial recognition services rely on finding publicly available pictures of you online, whether it’s a profile image for social networks like Facebook and Google Plus or from something more official from a company website or a college athletic portrait. In their most recent round of facial recognition studies, researchers at Carnegie Mellon were able to not only match unidentified profile photos from a dating website (where the vast majority of users operate pseudonymously) with positively identified Facebook photos, but also match pedestrians on a North American college campus with their online identities.

“Did they buy anything? As fun as marketing is and as exciting as online is and as hip as social media are, we really do need to sell stuff in order to carry on. If you’re a publisher, you need to engender more pageviews to sell more ad space. If you’re a non-profit you have to sell ideas to generate more donations. Did the work you are doing on awareness and interest and engagement result in a benefit to the organization? Did we reach our goals more often with this sort of promotion or that one?”
