    First worm hits Apple's iPhone

    This worm gets in via SSH and spreads to other iPhones it can find. Fortunately all it does is change the wallpaper.

    lol.. "places an image of 1980s pop singer Rick Astley on the device."

    The ultimate Rickroll.
    There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop.

    Well it only applies to unlocked iPhones so, I wouldn't say this is a true scare.

    I loled at that. I think it is funny when people go through all that trouble to make a worm and then have it do something like that. If I got through all the trouble to make it then it would break phones.

    IMO there are a large percentage of iPhones used for business that are jailbroken.
    My nephew's wife has 2 company iPhones that were jailbroken by her employer in order to install company applications.

    I don't think the Apple process for application approval works very well.

    I sent my best friend a copy of the Approval pic since he has an iPhone.

    So that’s how it works.

    There is one more step that is guaranteed to get a new app approved. “Does it drain all the life out of your battery in 30 minutes or less.”

    That's why my nephew's wife was given 2 company iPhones. With 2 iPhones she can be out of the office most of the day and still have communications.
