Thanks for performing that experiment, Dayglored!

Seems to be trending that we can put this particular piece of FUD to bed.

Swordmaker, Day’s referring to my post 147 in this thread.

Have a nice day, y’all.

Maybe, maybe not. The photo they printed shows a lot more than mine did, in the public media tree:

Mine showed only the "DCIM" (digital photos) folder. But that might be because mine is an iPod.

I want to see someone replicate the experiment that started the article this thread is based on. It's entirely possible that the original article's authors are mistaken -- such things happen all the time, especially when someone with an axe to grind against Apple tries to demonstrate that Apple's security is not good.

The sensationalist nature of their headline tells me that they have an axe to grind, so I'm suspicious that this isn't all it's cracked up to be.

However, until someone replicates their results, we just don't know. We're just speculating on whether the authors know what they really saw.

So based on one test on a version of linux that isn't even the one cited in the article you're ready to call this FUD? Looks like you have made up your mind before getting all the facts...hence your agenda is clear. Defend apple at all costs.

Not sure why you'd want to do that. If my phone had this huge security hole I'd be very concerned and not ready to let it rest until the full situation was known.
