Georgia-Russia Cyberwar, iPhone Dropping Calls

Here are some interesting links from today:

  • How I became a soldier in the Georgia-Russia cyberwar.
    After making sure that I wasn’t downloading a virus, I installed DoSHTTP and started playing around with it. Along with offering customizable options to advanced users, there was also a nice option for beginners like me. After entering a URL, I could initiate an attack by clicking something that said “Start Flood.” A flood did follow—war at the touch of a button.
  • Dropped calls plague iPhone 3G, and not just in U.S.
    If you’re having problems with dropped calls on your new 3G Apple iPhone, you’re not alone.
    From New York to Stockholm, 3G iPhone owners are complaining loudly about connection failures - sometimes repeatedly - during calls. The problem typically occurs when the device attempts to move from 3G to another network.
