This got picked up by a bunch of aggregators so maybe a lot of you have already
seen it. Introducing the first smart phone virus that is actually capable of
making your life miserable, or at least your pocketbook a little lighter:

It can't infect your phone without you knowing it: you have to accept a prompt
to install it on your phone. But all they have to do is add a message that
says "Nokia Security Patch #1000234 -- please install immediately to protect
your Nokia device from the latest security threats." It'd spread fer sure.

Nice to see the jobs and gigs getting posted here, BTW! On the subject of
hiring developers I thought this recent article was interesting (good for
people preparing for interviews, too):
