iPhone can be hacked with a single SMS!
Aug 1st
Charlie Miller, the hacker who discovered a hole in the new Apple Safari in ten seconds in the Pwn2Own contest, can now take complete control of an iPhone by merely sending a text message. And no, you don’t even have to open it! 
Once taken control, the hacker can exploit the hole to make calls, steal data, send text messages, and do basically anything that the user can do with his iPhone. Miller and his partner Colin Mulliner demonstrated this scary scenario to CNET writer Elinor Mills at the Black Hat Security Conference on July 29, 2009. The two are professional researchers with a security firm and are just showing Apple the many security loopholes in their device.

BSNL WLL Internet with OpenDNS !!??
Jun 7th
Well I think BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limitted – The leading ISP in India) needs to learn alot in the ISP field. 
You know what they used OpenDNS – A internet based DNS server, in the Wireless Land Line (WLL) service, to block different categorized sites.

Consider if I have a free hosting server, in that server all type of people will be there. Some may use proxy scripts or even their on inventions on hacking, and its more than enough for OpenDNS to block that server including all the good sites comes under their hosting!!
