Beginning of this year,my close friends and colleagues had this iphone mania, I certainly
wasn't into at all. They were obssed by macs anyhow, still few of them do graphics, which seems
logical. But for me, the apple mania died last Christmas when I gave my macbook black
to my sister as present under the tree and switched to more suitable and reliable old
fashioned linux, since sometimes I do want to hack a bit, and on macs I founded my hands bounded.
Long story short, I bought a iphone cos of the deal, not because of the device. I wasn't reading about them at all, so basically I had only opinions of the iphone and i nerds, which wasn't really objective at all.
Phone costed less than 25 euros, and it seemed the best choice comparing the price and power.
What I discovered after having it for few days was quite shocking for me. First of all, you turn your iphone on,
it ask for a pin code and when you cancel it you can normally use the device without any restrictions except GSM/3G services. Which means, If I lost my iphone, anyone can read my emails which I have there, my smses, my notes, my anything, I even think that you can synchronize the whole god damn bloody thing and literally steal all the shit from it. This made me realize a security code policy, which actually solved the problem, anyhow it's still annoying to turn your phone on, put a security pin and then a regular pin. Do that every morning for two weeks and you found yourself crazy.
