Ashley Towns, the Australian behind the ikee iPhone worm that replaced the background picture of insecure jailbroken iPhones, has reportedly been hired by Sydney company Mogeneration.

The BBC reports that a spokesperson for iPhone app developers Mogeneration said: “We interviewed Ashley, assessed him with our iPhone developer test — which he passed with flying colours — and we employed him today.”

The news has drawn fire from Sophos security consultant Graham Cluley, who wrote in his blog: “It jars with me that Towns has shown no regret for what he did, and that now his utterly irresponsible behaviour appears to have been rewarded.”

Read this previous post if you miss something: Aussie Worm Rickrolls Jailbroken iPhones

Okay it has been a while since I have posted somthing, I have been busy. I have been busy reading about the worms and jailbreaking. First off remember I do not recommend any one jailbreak their phone. However, if you find yourself needing to do so then please please, really I mean this… HAVE COMMON SENSE! if you do jailbreak the device and use SSH then make sure you change your password. It is no different then using a web forum temporary password. Failure to do a PWD change can allow people to access your phone that you don’t want accessing it.

There are many reports of people who fail to change the password not only in the US but other countries as well and this has caused a severe issue. Protect yourself and others by either not jailbreaking (unless you have to) or be smart and (even on othe devices) change the default password for any and everything.

“Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit Up” by Nirvana vs. Rick Astley

Did you know that Nirvana was formed in 1987, the same year that Rick Astley released his first solo single, Never Gonna Give You Up? Coincidence? I think not. Clearly, this utterly, utterly frightening and WTF-worthy mashup was destined to be (handiwork of the otherwise unknown DJ Morgoth). WATCH IT THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH! You will, as they say, “shit brix.”

Me urgiu agora uma vontade de comprar várias fitas k-7, e mandá-las para pessoas aleatórias.

Aí, depois de procurarem por um rádio onde pudessem executá-las, tudo que iriam ouvir seria rick astley repetidas vezes.

Tenho que começar a concretizar minhas trollagens.

Pobre Ash… achou que estaria livre da fúria de Rick Astley por ser um treinador pokémon…

Mais uma do Capinaremos.

  Como muchos sabrán ya llego Rick y subió de categoría, y parece ser que nos va a dar en la madre. Trae vientos de 215 Km/h, o sea que es todo un pinche cafre taxista en busca de pasaje. Rick se encuentra a 405 kilómetros al suroeste de Nacapulco y se desplaza en chinga a la casa del metalin a 19 kilómetros por hora.

Rick podría convertirse en un huracán de categoría 5 durante el día, dijo la meteoróloga Jessica Schauer, del centro de huracanes.

El meteoro es ”extremadamente peligroso” ahora que las aguas cálidas lo fortalecieron haciéndolo pasar de la categoría 1 a la 4 en 36 horas, acotó.

El departamento de Protección Civil de Acapulco emitió un alerta el viernes advirtiendo sobre posibles aludes de tierra e inundaciones en esa ciudad turística, que podrían surgir con las fuertes lluvias en las próximas 24 horas.

Awesome cover song is awesome

Amúgy majd még ma valamikor lesz Umineko post, csak annyi minden másról is kéne írni…de lehet, hogy inkább összesítve írok egy értékelőt a nyári szezonról

Yep, today at 12.55pm on BBC2 I was featured in the Chart Jacker’s documentary playing my guitar and singing

And it turns out that they’re using the melody I wrote!

It is officially impossible for me to feel down today. Also 272 subscribers!?! I sense a Sparta joke comming…

VV Brown thanks, but I didn’t write the lyrics so my hands are clean of that one . Stock…well whatever, way to be mean to budding musicians on national television.

Basically this whole Chart Jacker’s thing has been amazing exposure and I’m glad I did it

Also playing a gig on Tuesday, I will try to film it or something and upload it for people who can’t make it.

Thats all I have to say

Love Jonny x

Because you are reading this blog post, you are probably riding the wave of change which is sweeping through the world of media currently. But have you ever realized how fast these things are happening around us, and more importantly how we are causing it? Check out this video in which the impact is summarized in about four minutes, a MUST SEE for anyone with the slightest interest in knowing what is happening out there (which in my opinion is everyone):

Can you imagine there are still people out there who call themselves marketers which don’t use the internet?

Media Convergence due to social media platforms like facebook – twitter & even the smallest to the largest of self created, targetted and inspired communities sprouting up all over the internet – this video has some astonishing facts.

I am not associated with the New MediaCconference this video was created for but the contents we ALL should know about – it mentions a singaporean Ang Chuang Yang who created a Guiness World Record

Here is the Description on YouTube for the video – compelling stuff

This is another official update to the original “Shift Happens” video. This completely new Fall 2009 version includes facts and stats focusing on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology, and was developed in partnership with The Economist.

Madre mia, esto debe ser la version mas friki del “RickRoll”

Sin palabras

Sperando che il grande esodo estivo non giochi brutti scherzi, eccomi in partenza per il concerto dei Chemical Brothers al Faro di Jesolo, con successivo infernale viaggio Lido di Jesolo-Portoferraio via mezzi pubblici e soggiorno nella ridente isola d’Elba!
A risentirci fra una decina di giorni

A friend of mine got a bee in his bonnet to to use a prank call website to get back at an acquaintance of ours. He happened to have a site bookmarked: Prankdial.com. So we put in her number and chose a video to have played, and not thinking it would work, OKed it. It said that the caller “is currently being pranked” and we laugh, still not actually believing that it was working. Hahahaha. ‘Lo and behold, 10 minutes later her Facebook status is “Just got rickrolled by an unknown number. Hmmm.” SUCKER.

Great site, definitely check it out. You get 3 dials a day, use em wisely. I’m now trying to figure out how to mask IP addresses to allow for unlimited prankage. Learning all about anonymous proxy servers which would have been oh so useful back in high school when the admins blocked everything. -sigh-

It’s time to catch up with Threadless and their wondrous wearables. It’s also time to catch up with internet memes.

The image adorns a new Threadless shirt, Three Keyboard Cat Moon, that combines the Three Wolf Moon and Keyboard Cat memes.

That leaves me one meme short of a full post, or at least, one meme short of the promise in the title. Let’s go with Rickrolling, but let’s bring it up to date by mashing it up.

Rick Astley is now taking over the greatest songs of all time…

never gonna give up your teen spirit

[thanks coleman]

This mashup by DJ Morgoth combines Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Rick Astley’s infamous “Never Gonna Give You Up” and the results are surprisingly awesome.

Today is Tuesday (duh!), and uni started back yesterday. I am lucky enough to start my week at 8am on a Monday, so no easing into the lecture schedule for me. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of my papers has already released the first assignment. This means that I will actually be able to get onto it in a timely manner. Normally they all wait until third/fourth week to all release them at the same time, and then are all due at the same time. I’m a bit sick today, so I’ll be starting on this assignment tomorrow and trying to get it done by the end of the weekend.

Also discovered that one of my other papers get to play with Windows source code (WRK). Very cool!! It’s only the WRK for Server 2003 but, as they say, that’s pretty much the same as XP, which is almost the same as Vista; so there we go. My schedule isn’t too bad for my – touch wood – final semester before returning to the real world, so I’m not stressing over possible time issues at all. I’m doing mainly CompSci papers to finish off, but most of them are network related, so I’m really weighing towards mainly InfoSys in reality. I’ll also be completing my CCNA semesters 3 & 4 as part of one of my InfoSys papers which is a bonus. And, I believe my other InfoSys paper allows me to sit an Oracle certification at the end too. Look at me the uber-student.

Check this link out for a bit of a laugh when you get the chance (make sure you have sound!). It is safe for work. Also, notpron.com is classic. It’s also safe for work, but the url my cause filters to trigger, so best to do it at home. I have to put in the following video, just because I hadn’t seen it for ages, and I re-watched it again over the weekend. It’s still as ridiculously funny as it was when it first came out!!

As you’ll soon see, I’ve been going through my favourites folder on YouTube, and I went right to the very back end for the oldest (possibly forgotten) vids I could track down. Here’s Best Baby Break Dance:

and this one of a guy catching glasses with his face:

I’ll end the queue of videos with this one. It’s actually quite heart-touching, so enjoy and be happy for him:

I’ll be doing some more tuts this afternoon, or tomorrow. Something to do with XML and HTTP now that I’ve had a bit of fun setting that up for my site (launch will be within the next two weeks I think!!) and coordinating it with JS so that other sites can call to mine and get responses back. I’ll also look at something to do with dynamic JS creation from PHP.
