My son is on an internship in a somewhat remote place in Alaska (read: no Apple genius to bring it to), with his Macbook Air. He sent me a text informing me that his perfectly working MBA won't power on at all after applying a firmware update this morning. It's dead, killed by Apple, and it is out of warranty.I just realised the fan is running quietly, so maybe not dead, just having a terrible dream. Anyway, the laptop after standing around for two hours (I kid you not) rebooted by itself. A scary two hours.In other Apple news, security expert Jonathan Zdziarski has revealed that most iDevice owners are unknowingly letting plenty of spies in the backdoor of their iOS – though it may not be as wide open as other reports have suggested. He told The Reg:There are certain steps that have to be taken to get this data. Backdoors are guarded, there are things protecting it – you don’t just type 'Joshua' for full access.But although Apple has told the media that the services identified by him are actually for diagnostic purposes and enterprise IT bods, not government spooks, he remains unconvinced:

The problem with this is that these services dish out data (and bypass backup encryption) regardless of whether or not 'Send Diagnostic Data to Apple' is turned on or off, and whether or not the device is managed by an enterprise policy of any kind.Every single device has these features enabled and there’s no way to turn them off, nor are users prompted for consent to send this kind of personal data off the device.The consumer is also not aware of these mechanisms, nor are they prompted in any way by the device. There is simply no way to justify the massive leak of data as a result of these services, and without any explicit consent by the userI don’t buy for a minute that these services are intended solely for diagnostics. The data they leak is of an extreme personal nature. There is no notification to the user. A real diagnostic tool would have been engineered to respect the user, prompt them like applications do for access to data, and respect backup encryption.
