If you're one of the early birds who decided to jailbreak their iOS 4.3 firmware without proper Mobile Substrate support, we have good news for you.
A patched version of Mobile Substrate is available that reportedly addresses the issues with ASLR.
As you're aware, the current version of Mobile Substrate doesn't work with iOS 4.3, rendering many of our favorite jailbreak apps and tweaks inoperable on Apple's latest firmware...
BigBoss posted on his blog yesterday that if you enjoy using jailbroken tweaks such as winterboard and sbsettings, hold off on the big March 11th update. It's always a cardinal rule to wait for the new jailbreak before updating to Apple's new firmware, this time he says, use extra precaution.

What a dramatic title for this post! The reality is a little less dramatic, but still very worrying. According to an AFP article, Chinese workers who were working on an iPhone assembly line in Suzhou claim to have been poisoned by a dangerous chemical.
Apparently, these poor workers have spent over 6 months in a hospital after being exposed to n-hexane...
I just read an article on the Kaspersky Blog [via Ars] about new sites popping up everywhere online and offering fake downloads of GreenPois0n containing trojans.
A quick search for "greenpois0n tool" on Google might lead you to torrents or websites that would likely put your computer at risk...
