The new "cybersecurity" bill is up for a vote this week. It essentially gives private companies the right to search your data, including SMS, emails, files stores in the cloud, etc. with the government, without the need for any warrant or judicial oversight.

What is a good rule of thumb to follow for penetration testing for IT security? How often is sufficient vs. being a waste of resources?

Is there an easy guide on how to jailbreak an iPhone 5 / iOS 6?

I agree with Christopher, it sounds like a clogged nozzle. Try running a few cleaning cycles, and dollars to donuts you will be back in business.  

I've used WordPress for a while, but never really loved it. It is pretty simple to use, but I find some things about the content management system to be clunky, and it seems like I see the same basic WordPress look everywhere I go.

So now we know the details about the new iPhone. What's the best new feature of the iPhone 5, and do you think it is worth replacing an iPhone 4 to get one right away?

Samsung and Apple are obviously two of the biggest players in the mobile market. I haven't been closely following the ongoing litigation, but I have to wonder how much of a difference it makes either way for those of us that don't work for either of the companies.
