Activate Find My iphone..iOS4 application...
As its name suggests, Find My iPhone is a tracking feature to locate a missing iPhone 4, iPad or fourth-generation iPod Touch. (Only the latest models get the free feature.) If you've dropped your iDevice in a cab, or if someone's stolen it, you can hop on a computer to follow the GPS coordinates of the iPhone on a Google map.
Or, if you're just absent-minded like me and you misplace your iPhone as often as you lose your keys, you can use your computer to trigger a beeping sound to help you find it. It should be loud enough to hear from under a couch cushion. (You'll never have to bug a friend to call your phone again.)
If you do indeed think your iPhone is in the hands of a thief, you can use Find My iPhone to remotely lock the device or wipe the data. Do note, however, that if you wipe the device, you won't be able to track it anymore. Also, a clever thief could just remove the SIM card, and you wouldn't be able to track or wipe the phone.
Of the many new features in iOS 4.2.1, I found this one to be one of the sweetest bonuses. Find My iPhone originally was only available as part of a MobileMe subscription, which costs $100 per year. Making it free was a nice move on Apple's part: An iPhone can potentially contain a treasure trove of personal information, so losing one is a big deal.
You need to activate Find My iPhone before you lose your phone, so do it now. Since the steps to turn this useful feature on aren't immediately obvious, here's how to do it.
===How to proceed===
1. Make sure you have the latest iOS update (iOS 4.2.1) installed. Plug in your iPhone and click "Check for updates" in iTunes to get the software.
2. With iOS 4.2.1 installed, tap the Settings app on your iPhone. Then tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and "Add Account." Then choose MobileMe.
3. In the MobileMe account menu, enter your iTunes or Apple ID and password (i.e., the login you use to buy iTunes media on the iPhone).
4. The "Find My iPhone" option should appear. Slide it to "ON" to activate it."
And you're done! From here on, you can hop on a computer and enter [http://www.me.com www.me.com] in a web browser. Then enter the same login credentials you used to register for Find My iPhone, and you'll immediately get a GPS reading of the phone, along with a simple menu of buttons allowing you to lock, wipe, or send a message or sound to the iPhone.
===Tips & Advice===
* Depending on how long you've had your Apple user account, your Apple ID may need to be an e-mail address. If your Apple ID doesn't have an e-mail suffix (like @gmail.com) it may not be accepted during the MobileMe account set up. If you run into this problem, go into your Apple ID settings and change it to your primary e-mail address, and it should work just fine.

The bug in the name of the C++ language.
From the internet, a popular quote goes like this: "Of course, while it is true that the ++ operator gives the C++ language its name, it also led to the first joke about the language. C++ haters point out that even the name of the language contains a bug: 'After all, it should really be called ... ++C, because we only want to use a language after it has been improved.' " We will now see why this joke is so absolutely hilarious. int main() { int x = 40; int y = ++x + 1; std::cout << x << '\n' << y; } Output: x = 41, y = 42. The pre-increment operator first increments the value of x (the ++) and then stores it in the variable. Hence, when the code is executed, x becomes 41 AFTER being assigned to y . The post-increment works the other way, the value is first stored in the lvalue before being assigned to the rvalue of the variable being incremented. int main() { int x = 40; int y = x++ + 1; std::cout <&l
Biography of The Rock 'n' Roll Drummer...John bonham....
John Bonham was born in the Midlands countryside of Worcestershire on 31 May 1948. He got his first snare drum at 10, a present from his mum. He joined his first band, Terry Webb and the Spiders, at the age of 16 in 1964. In 1965, he joined his second band, A Way of Life, and met Pat Phillips at a dance near his home in Kidderminster. At age 17, they were married. The band became inactive and Bonham, with a new wife to support, had either to make a go of drumming financially or quit. He had met a young singer, Robert Plant , a couple of years earlier, and Plant wa currently in a band called Crawling King Snakes, and they needed a drummer. Bonham fitted the bill. Bonham lived quite a way from the rest of the band and transportation costs (i.e. petrol money) stretched the finances of a struggling band to the limit. Within a few months, Bonham had left the band to rejoin the local A Way of Life. He was completely self-taught as a drummer, and despite this fact, or ma

Wi-Fi WPA2 Zero Day Vulnerability Found
Black Hat conference: a claimed vulnerability in WPA2 Enterprise that leaves traffic open to a malicious insider. "...wireless security researchers say they have uncovered a vulnerability in the WPA2 security protocol, which is the strongest form of Wi-Fi encryption and authentication currently standardized and available. Malicious insiders can exploit the vulnerability, named 'Hole 196' by the researcher who discovered it at wireless security company AirTight Networks. The moniker refers to the page of the IEEE 802.11 Standard (Revision, 2007) on which the vulnerability is buried. Hole 196 lends itself to man-in-the-middle-style exploits, whereby an internal, authorized Wi-Fi user can decrypt, over the air, the private data of others, inject malicious traffic into the network, and compromise other authorized devices using open source software, according to AirTight. 'There's nothing in the standard to upgrade to in order to patch or fix the hole,' says Kaustub
