Random stuff from my life and mind.

Alright I really don’t want to just point out iPhone stuff but there is so much going on with them currently. Gizmodo also has a video http://gizmodo.com/5042332/huge-iphone-security-flaw-puts-all-private-information-at-risk

You'll have to have some contacts set up with Favorites. If you don't have any favorites, looks like you'll be OK

Each contact setup as a Favorite would likely have an address, phone, email and possibly a link to their website, right? Those are the points of entry to the corresponding apps. So, when you get access (described next) using those features will launch those apps completely bypassing the passcode.

1. So you open the phone, and on the passcode screen you click "Emergency Call"

2 Now double-tap the Home button

3. Look, your Favorites! Clicking the blue arrow will take you to the contact info. Depending on what that contact has (email, website, etc.) you can access the corresponding applications, free of the concerns of passcode protections.

Hey look everyone, Microsoft is more secure than apple for once…
