For iPhone/iPod Touch users. The first ever iPhone worm has been discovered in Australia. The infected iPhones will have their wallpaper changed to an image of Rick Astley.

The wallpaper has an message “ikee is never going to give you up”.

The worm is capable of breaking into jailbroken iPhones if their owners have not changed the default password after installing SSH.

Once the worm breaks in, it will find the other iPhones in the mobile phone network with similarly vulnerable and spread itself to them again.

Anyway, your iPhone is safe if you haven’t jailbreak it or have not installed SSH.

You must always change your root user password if you have jailbroken you iPhone or iPod Touch, and installed SSH.

More information about the worm and the worm’s author here.

As you know, my iPhone 3Gs was dead. I went to Maxis tower to claim warranty for my dead iPhone 3GS. It was not a very pleasant experience..

I reached Maxis tower at 3.00pm (Oct 10, 2009). Took a queue number “866″. Number of customers waiting was 14, as printed on the queue ticket.

Waited 1 hour more for my turn, I almost dozed off at the customer waiting area. The staff who attended me wanted to troubleshooting the bricked iPhone, and the time needed was one and a half hour!

My iPhone 3GS is dead after using it for 3 months! Yes, DEAD. Cannot turn it on. No screen display. “Bricked“!

What happened?

I am not sure. It was so sudden! I was charging it then it was dead when I came back. Maybe electronic shock or something?

What to do now?

Nothing much I can do except to send the dead iPhone 3GS back to Maxis Communications Berhad, where I got my iPhone from, to get it fixed or a replacement unit.

Life without iPhone

Without iPhone, I update twitter less, check email less frequent, do not stay online on instant messengers, cannot log my body weight, cannot play games, cannot surf web on the go…

Hopefully can get back my iPhone very soon… Felt lost without iPhone. It has changed my life so much!

Updated: I had claimed the warranty for my dead iPhone 3GS. Click here to read about it.

I received a testing unit of Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 (which was “S11″) netbook and brought it along with me to a holiday trip. The following is the review of Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2:

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 is slim and light. I can easily hold it on my left palm and type with my right hand.

If you think all netbook is light weight, try Asus EeePC 1000H. It is much heavier than IdeaPad S10-2!

Read on to see the size different between the two netbooks.

Most netbook has cut the size of right “Shift” key to squeeze more space but it cause you to press wrong key frequently.

The battery life is ok, around 3 hours on web surfing. Enough for quick access of your documents or Internet on-the-go. Not suitable for you to online at Starbucks from 9-5 without charging.
