Granted part #1 of this article turned out to be a little more complex to execute that first reported (don’t believe EVERYTHING you read in a blog!), but this one turns out to be a little more serious.
Reported fairly widely in the mainstream tech-press, this vulnerability permits the retrieval of private data from the iPhone and bypasses any user passcode available. Looking at the process involved, this puts the technique into the hand of someone with mid-level technical expertise (thankfully we aren’t quite at the Hollywood-security model of hitting a few keystrokes to bypass a password prompt).
The following video gives you a good demonstration of the process and for those wanting a little more detail, the technical paper supporting this process can be found here.

Reviewing patents is really seeing the ideas before they even become ideas. More of a pre-idea really. A good case in point is the following:
Odd LCD Screen Patent from Nikon
This is the subject of a patent recently filed by Nikon for products yet unknown. The full details are available from the patent itself or at least a shortened version from Nikon Rumours.
Watch this space I guess?
