iPhone Forensics Helping Police Investigations
A fascinating column on police forensics on iPhones. Once book is called 'iPhone Forensics". An article, written up about the iPhone's use in an investigation says:
"There's plenty of information an iPhone hangs onto," Jonathan Zdziarski, author of iPhone Forensics, told FoxNews.com. "For example, the iPhone takes a screen shot every time you hit the home button, including shots of your e-mail with the time stamped on it."
And these pieces of information are also critically useful in an investigation:
It's not difficult to understand law enforcement's enthusiasm for the iPhone. Equipped with GPS, a camera, and a Web browser, it can provide a wealth of data to police trying to track a criminal's movements and actions:
* Mapping software will store locations you've searched or directions you've received.
* The auto correcting typing feature of iPhones actually stores words you've typed, which could potentially be accessed months after a message was sent and deleted.
* Photos taken with the phone can contain information about where, when and with which device the image was captured.
* Web browser information is also often stored, such as reservations the owner has made or sites they have visited.

South Park Fighting for Free Speech
'Muhammad' now a dirty word on 'South Park'
Now "South Park" can't even say the words "Prophet Muhammad."
After last week's episode of the Comedy Central series sparked a threat (and yes, it was certainly a threat) from a radical Islamic website, the network has cracked-down-for-their-own-good on creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone during last night's continuation of the show's storyline.
For those who missed the drama, the show's 200th episode last week mocked the one "celebrity" that the series has been largely unable to depict, the Prophet Muhammad, who was hidden from view in a bear costume. A U.S.-based website RevolutionMuslim.com then warned Parker and Stone they could end up like Theo Van Gogh (the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by Muslim extremists after depicting Muhammad on his show) and even posted the address of the show's production office. The site has since been shut down.
Britain: Cultural Sensitivity to Assault With Shoes
Okay in Britain to assault with shoes because it's culturally sensitive.
Scotland Yard Sanctions Muslim Shoe Throwers: Allowed to Throw Shoes at Politicians, Police, etc
So now all of these flying projectiles are sanctioned and legal. One can only imagine a pair Richard Reid's shoes flying through the air. Good luck with that, asshats.
Crippling self-destruction. Bowing to "Islamic sensitivities" (and they are a sensitive lot, aren't they -- except when it comes to actual humanity), throwingshoes (even if it means hitting police and/or politicians) is now an accepted practice.
Next up, they'll be sanctioning Islamic terror, because, hey, that's an Islamic sensitivity, too.
Brave Saudi TV Contestant Makes Poem for Peace
Brave Saudi housewife set to win Arabic X Factor after blistering attack on hardline Muslim clerics on live TV
A brave Saudi housewife has reached the final of the Arabic version of the X Factor after lashing out at hardline Muslim clerics on live TV.
Wearing a black burkha, mother-of-four Hissa Hilal delivered a blistering poem against Muslim preachers 'who sit in the position of power' but are 'frightening' people with their fatwas, or religious edicts, and 'preying like a wolf' on those seeking peace.
Her poem got loud cheers from the audience last week and won her a place in the competition's final on April 7.
It also brought her death threats, posted on several Islamic militant websites.

Jihad Cool: Something even NPR Can't Ignore
- With so many terrorism cases emerging in the U.S. in the past nine months, experts are trying to understand why so much is happening now. One explanation has less to do with religion than with adventure. The latest wave of jihadists traveling to Pakistan and elsewhere for training may have been motivated by a sense of jihadi cool. The recent Jihad Jane case may be the latest example of this trend.
- Recruitment More MTV Than Mosque That's a far cry from what is seen as the traditional route to jihad. It used to be that jihadi recruitment videos opened with the call to prayer and readings from the Quran. These days, many of them are decidedly less religious. They look more like something that would appear on MTV.
- 'A New Generation Of Lazy Muslims' Intelligence officials say there is a wave of young people who are attracted to the adventure of jihad but would like to skip all the rigors of Islam, such as reading the Quran and fasting. "I think what we are seeing is sort of what I like to term a new generation of lazy Muslims," says Arsalan Iftikhar, a human rights lawyer and the former national legal director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "These are people who might not be theologically devout or even have a sound religious foundation, but they are using this new jihadi cool to justify criminal acts of terrorism," Iftikhar says.

- Profiling Quiz
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone—particularly fanatics intent on killing us—airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year-old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal-of-Honor-winning former Governors.
Let's pause a moment and take the following test on whether or not we should engage in profiling:
