I don't know for what part of Europe you are talking about, but here in the UK all stolen and blacklisted iPhones are sold openly on Ebay as 'faulty', 'no reception', etc. The sale price is not bad as well, you can do a simple search and check for yourself. Buyers are usually people who export in bulk to other countries where the blacklist do not apply.
Yep, Nokia runs on TrustZone few years already, but everyone screams - Nokia open, Apple bad. I guess for some people open means to be allowed running scripts, for others is be able to talk to the MMU in assembler. I think the whole Android open phone, was too good to be true
Not to mention the overwhelming lead Nvidia has with GPGPU currently.
We are using GPU's for a number crunching tasks - integer operations. Currently one 5970 (aircooled) outperforms a computer with 4 x GTX 295, watercooled and overclocked to 725 Mhz each.
NVIDIA has to do really much better with those new cards to win us back
The quality of our hand soldered prototypes with SMD components is much better then production devices made in sweat shop type of factory in China(even they use machines for that). Of course you are right if you can afford the factory that Sony/Apple uses to assemble their boards.
Yes but i already take part by barely watching TV, but paying licence so people like you can watch the latest 'shot on camcorder' episode of Coronation street. I guess with the 50p tax you will be able to even catch it on your BBC iPlayer and help clog my speed further...
Yes same here, i am on 24 Mbps Be, and i get only 16 because of the crappy cable BT have. When it's raining i loose another 2 Mbps and that's often here in the UK. Why should i pay 50p more to subsidise other people connection ?
Yeah but we are not in the 70s any more. They would code them in PHP or JAVA if they had a chance to choose. This is why professional hackers have a easy way to hack something that should be impossible to hack
"We have not identified any phone software problem that would allow alleged use cases,"
Nokia are completely clueless as usual. Nokia 1100 belongs to the dct4 generation of phones. Security is based on safer-k64 (symmetric algo for all important stuff) and simple vhdl logic for encrypting/decrypting instructions from Flash memory. All security, hidden bootrom - completely hacked in 2001.
Even latest Nokia models (BB5 generation) running OMAP trust zone are fully cracked, except for a small issue of making fully blank boards running without IMEI certificate. All the rest - spaggeti mix of soft implemented AES, SHA and badly implemented RSA1024 have been hacked/circumvented.
Useless antivirus companies. So the virus uses something like srand ( time(NULL) ); to init and generate the random key. Just check the encrypted file creation date and try to bruteforce the RC4 key
instead.
Well unless this is the first cellular phone hacked ever, you are right. Nokia, SE, LG and Samsung release number of
new phones everyday, with much better protection. They got hacked on a regular basis, but the hacking of the TEA
protected siemens modem generated so much hype.
I am still waiting to see the FPS-10 service box sources, that is entirely based on Linux kernel. For people that have no idea, this box is sold by Nokia to their authorized service centers and is used to repair/tune/check faults in all Nokia mobile handsets.
Nothing funny, just Sci Fi movies shot there with 4th grade actors like Dean Kane suck big time. Well specially if you pay subscription for the channel, you expect something better.
Maybe learning assembly will be usefull to the programmers of those companies that make very expencive engineering packages sold for 5000+ USD, and they can be downloaded free on the wares sites in a matter of few days after release.
Yes it is. I had a chance to watch the break dance
a week ago at CeBit, it's amazing. One of the dev guys
said they use 3 of the Aibo CPU's to make it work.
Its easy to criticize, but when you see it live you
change your mind for sure.

As an owner of a Samsung SmartTV, I can confirm the Software part of the above statement.

Hehe
they open sourced the baseband also?(you said the whole project)
Nokia sold you a phone ... isnt locked down!!!
So they gave you the private key for the TrustZone locked down baseband ?
According to the wiki, it could be used only with openbts due to legal obstacles - FCC licensing and so on

The people in those nations were .... and less well educated than those in Western Europe
That was a joke, right ?
Yeah but the battery life would be 2-3 hours. Tip: google eee pc 900 battery life. Glad I got rid of mine, never buying Asus again!

"The iPhone 3G is a paragon of embedded device security"
Hmm, you care to share with us how many embedded devices security you have evaluated ?
"In short, this hack wasn't some bunch of script kiddies having a sleepover and cracking the copy protection on Arkanoid 2 for the C64."
It is exactly this and the crack sucks big time, just check user forums how the solution performs.
"some of the tightest security ever found on a PDA or mobile phone."
Again such a big claim. It is visible you have never done and embedded hacking in your life.

3) Being locked into one service provider
This is Nokia you're a talking about. They will make sure is DRMed to the max before it
hits the shelves.
Yeah, sure i don't. Even i have one under my table for almost an year ...
