iPhone Finally Gets to Hop Onto HotSpots Free

After much leaks, delays, and some anticipation, iPhone users are finally beginning to get a text message from AT&T about how to hop onto the carrier's WiFi networks for free, including WiFi at Starbucks location.

How To Catch A Hacker: Offer Him A Job

ackbar-trap.jpgA lot of hackers cling to the dream they'll become the next Kevin Mitnick, and get so famous they'll be able to parlay their notoriety into a paid gig programming or supervising computer security. Smart companies can capitalize on that greed: When software maker Valve was hacked and the code for its Half-Life 2 leaked onto the Internet in 2003, it offered Axel Gembe (a/k/a "Ago" a/k/a "DaGuy"), who claimed credit for the hack, a job. But the idea wasn't to get help with their network, it was to lure the hacker onto American soil where he could be arrested.
