Fake Steve has announced Operation Chokehold, at attempt to overwhelm AT&T’s network and let the company know that customers are not happy with their ‘bastardly behavior‘.

Subject: Operation Chokehold
On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. The idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!

Its unclear if anyone will actually participate in this operation considering the satirical nature of the blog and the counter intuitive concept.

Though the editors of Time have already chosen the winner (to be announced on The Today Show on Wednesday morning), MSNBC.com wants to know who us average folk would vote for.

At the risk of our audience being slightly biased, I’m going to release the same poll.

iWep PRO is an application for the iPhone and iPod touch that allow users check if their routers are exposed to some vulnerabilities.Main vulnerability is WEP/WPA key calculation. There are some routers that can be easily hacked just in few minutes. This happens ONLY when routers factoy settings were not changed. If factory settings were changed, iWep PRO is useless with your router.

Thanks to studguy1 over at xsellize for this.

The app only works for the routers listed here:

It is not a universal WEP/WPA cracking utility but relies on exploiting the default key generation algorithms of these routers.

Apple has taken home top honors in six different categories of Adweek’s Best of the 2000s.

To wind up the 21st century’s first decade, we’ve spent the past month working on a list of the best and brightest in the branding, marketing, media and agency world in 33 categories over the past 10 years.

Marketer of the Decade (Steve Jobs):
When Steve Jobs returned to a struggling Apple in 1997, he brought back his original agency, TBWA\Chiat\Day, with specific instructions: Buy us some time. Jobs knew that the iMac could well save the company he’d founded in 1976 (he’d left a decade later, after a management shakeup)—but the new model was 12 months off. Meanwhile, to let the world know Apple was not going away, Jobs needed a rallying cry—something to remind the core following of Apple’s rebel spirit. The result: “Think different.”… Read more…

It appears Apple really is loosening it’s grip on what developers can submit to the AppStore. I received an email today that informed me of a new App in the AppStore called iVideoCamera that lets your record about 15fps on anyiPhone.

Although this makes me wonder, with Apple being so kind to the new handful of Video apps, does this mean that we might be seeing OS 3.2 soon? And could it possibly include the addition ofvideo recording for the iPhone 2G/3G? It’s quite possible at this point, as they wouldn’t want too many apps “duplicating” a function that “already exists”.

iVideoCamera also gives you the ability to save to your camera roll or “Photos” and share via, FaceBook, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter and more to come. With the approval of this App the devs are very excited to start updates. First Knocking, then UStream, I wonder what we will see next in the lineup of Video apps…

iVideoCamera is available in the AppStore for $0.99.

Server logs indicate that Apple may be testing two new versions of the iPhone OS.

The BoyGeniusReport found evidence of two new user agents in their log files. The first, iPhone OS 3.1.3 would be a minor bug fix. The second, iPhone OS 4.0 would be a significant upgrade to the operating system.

Its important to note that user agents can be faked; however, its fairly obvious that Apple would already be working on the next update.

A new article in the New York Times suggests that faulty iPhone hardware is the cause of network issues experienced on AT&T.

The article entitled, “AT&T Takes the Blame, Even for the iPhone’s Faults” by Randall Stross, notes that AT&T has performed worst according to customer feedback. It suggests that in reality AT&T is the best network but faulty iPhone hardware is causing a poor network experience.

Roger Entner, senior vice president for telecommunications research at Nielsen, said the iPhone’s “air interface,” the electronics in the phone that connect it to the cell towers, had shortcomings that “affect both voice and data. Read more…
