Make FREE 0800 calls from your iPhone.
I don't know how many of you own an iPhone but I'd like to take the oppurtunity to introduce a great little app we have just released to the store. The name of the app is Numberstore and the sole purpose of it is to save you money when making 0800 or 0500 Freefone calls from your iPhone.

Hacking A5 GSM Encryption.
Overview A friend of mine recently went to a computer security event in Amsterdam and while he was there he had the privilege to attend a really eye opening seminar on the subject of A5 encryption (Click here for an overview).

So flawed in fact that it has been broken ( Several times since 1997 ). How does this affect me? Do you use any of ...
