Remember, though Jobs had pancreatic cancer, he also had a very rare form that was treatable through surgery. Jobs didn't want that surgery.</span></div> <div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 13px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Jobs' reasoning was that he "didn't want [his] body to be opened" and that "he didn't want to be violated in that way." That falls in line with who Jobs was spiritually, but why ignore a treatment when his life was at stake? Isaacson, who had numerous conversations with Jobs, says:</span></div> <blockquote style="background-color: #f6f6f6; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 4px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 10px; quotes: ''; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"I think that he kind of felt that if you ignore something, if you don't want something to exist, you can have magical thinking…we talked about this a lot. He wanted to talk about it, how he regretted it….I think he felt he should have been operated on sooner."</span></div> </blockquote> <div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 13px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He eventually had the surgery, some 9 months later, due to pressure from his family and friends, but at that point, the cancer had spread to the tissue around the original cancer. Isaacson said that Jobs downplayed the severity of his illness, even receiving cancer treatment in secret but eventually came to regret his decision to delay the surgery. There's bound to be more about Steve Jobs during 60 Minutes interview with Walter Isaacson—it airs on Sunday.

iPhone 4S Siri ships with security flaw

There is a zero-day flaw in Siri that will threaten your phone's security (assuming there is something worth securing), but luckily there is a pretty simply way to get around the issue for now.</span></span><br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The trouble is that even if you have a passcode set on your iPhone's lockscreen, Siri can bypass it and get into your phone. This is not unlike the trouble Apple had with emergency calls being able to bypass lockscreen security and gain access to your photos and contacts. This time around, Apple has Siri enabled on the lockscreen by default, meaning anyone can use a voice command to access your e-mail, contacts or calendar. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As we mentioned, if you have nothing that requires too much security in any of those systems, it's not much of a worry ("Oh no! I left my phone on the bus and now the person who has it can e-mail my mom! My mom!") Of course, if it's that much of a worry for you, all you have to do is disable Siri from your lockscreen in the "Passcode Lock" settings screen. </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">source: <a href="http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/siri-divulges-personal-info-when-your-iphone-is-locked-50005732/" style="color: #1d7fb4; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">CNet</a></span></div>

How to hack Windows XP Admin Password in a easy way

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This hack will only work if the person that owns the machine has no intelligence. This is how it works: When you or anyone installs Windows XP for the first time you’re asked to put in your username and up to five others. Now, unknowns to a lot of other people this is the only place in Windows XP that you can password the default Administrator Diagnostic Account. This means that to bypass most administrators’ accounts on Windows XP all you have to do is boot to safe mode by pressing F8 during boot up and choosing it. Log into the Administrator Account and create your own or change the password on the current Account. This only works if the user on setup specified a password for the Administrator Account.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This has worked for me on both Windows XP Home and Pro.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now this one seems to be machine dependant, it works randomly (don't know why)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></div>
