Refurb iPhones still contain previous users' data
Filed under: Security , iPhone Here's a slightly disturbing story from iPhone Atlas. Apparently user data is recoverable from iPhones that are being sold as refurbished. A detective from the Oregon State police recovered email, photos, and other user data from an "out-of-the-box refurbished iPhone." Indeed the image to the right is a partial screen capture from the refurbished iPhone. According to the iPhone developer Jonathan Zdziarski "all of the personal information that was sitting on [his iPhone]

Telefonica Movistar bringing the iPhone to Spain?
Filed under: Rumors , iPhone Apparently the Enterprise Data Services Manager for Telefnica Espaa, Francisco Jos Santos Esteras, spoke recently at PROCOM Aragn 2008 (a communications conference) in Spain and said that Telefonica Movistar (the mobile subsidiary) has a time-limited exclusive contract with Apple for the iPhone.

AT&T making out like bandit on iPhone
Filed under: iPhone Apparently AT&T is making out pretty well on this whole iPhone thing. According to a Rubicon Consulting study (NYT link, registration required) of 460 iPhone users about half (47%) switched to AT&T to get the iPhone and agreed to pay an average of $19 more per month to use the iPhone over their previous cell.

Explore Carrie Bradshaw's MacBook Pro
Filed under: Multimedia , Cult of Mac , Macbook Pro Like many women (and men), I'm pretty excited about the upcoming Sex and the City movie . While the show was awesome for a myriad of reasons (the humor, the fashion, the catch-phrases), what often gets overlooked is that Carrie Bradshaw was a Mac girl. From 1998 through 2004, Carrie almost always started and ended each show typing on her Mac. It makes sense; can you really imagine someone that fashion and style conscious using anything else? In
