Spyware In BlackBerry Updates For Users in the UAE
mulaz writes with this excerpt from The Register: "An update pushed out to BlackBerry users on the Etisalat network in the United Arab Emirates appears to contain remotely-triggered spyware that allows the interception of messages and emails, as well as crippling battery life. Sent out as a WAP Push message, the update installs a Java file that one curious customer decided to take a closer look at, only to discover an application intended to intercept both email and text messages, sending a copy to an Etisalat server without the user being aware of anything beyond a slightly excessive battery drain."
So you expect the government to provide everything to you?
I always thought if you wanted something you worked towards getting it.
You want good health care, you pay for it.
You want a fancy car, you pay for it.
You want a good retirement, you pay for it.
If you do not cover your own ass, you are stuck. It is hard and cold, but it is reality. Do I expect the government to give me health care, no. The social security check will be less then the stamp it took to get it to me at the rate it is going. I am not counting on that either. Didn't the person who started social security say that this should go away and not be permanent?
Besides if you are expecting a handout, will you work to better yourself? Which is the biggest issue with the government provides all. People get lazy and stop bettering themselves.
