Badass JavaScript Killing the Evercookie - Part2 MobileSafari - Dominic White UPDATE: An iPhone developer has turned this into an awesome little SBSetting addon. You'll still need a jailbroken phone but can install it via Cydia. My previous experiments in killing the Evercookie in Safari sparked similar posts describing how to do the same for Chrome and Firefox. However, my second most frequent browsing platform is my iPhone, and I thought I would investigate how Apple IOS, MobileSafari & embedded WebKit fares. To hard clear all the WebKit datastores, including normal cookies, I put the following quick script together (you'll need a JailBroken iPhone). #! I know this and my previous entry are scorched earth tactics. In short, what does Apple need to do to fix this? Update: Clarified what the two separate problems are, and added a section on what Apple should do to fix.

9/11: Where Are All The Whistleblowers? There are hundreds of credible people who dismiss the official story Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.com Monday, September 27, 2010 A common tactic used to debunk questions surrounding the official 9/11 story is to claim that if there was inside involvement in the plot, whistleblowers would have gone public and exposed the conspiracy. The claim assumes that conspiracies cannot be kept covered up, a fallacy disproved by the Manhattan Project. This proves that top secret, highly sensitive operations can be covered-up. In addition, there have been numerous whistleblowers who have gone public and used the knowledge from their respective fields to dismiss the official 9/11 story. FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, the most gagged woman in America, having the State Secrets Privilege imposed on her twice, went public last year to reveal that Bin Laden maintained “intimate” relations with the US right up until 9/11. “I walked around it (Building 7).

Obama's Terrorism Policies Worse Than Bush's: Roger D. Hodge In his classic 1984 essay, Richard Ben Cramer wonders if Jerry Lee Lewis got away with his wife's murder. Richard Ben Cramer died one year ago this week and he is still sorely missed. His career began at the Baltimore Sun during the Watergate Era, blossomed at the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he won a Pulitzer for his reportage in the Middle East, and broadened in the 1980s when he conquered the long magazine profile with his enduring Esquire piece on Ted Williams. Cramer then dove headfirst into publishing with an exhaustive account of the 1988 presidential election in What it Takes, and followed that with a best-selling biography of Joe DiMaggio. At every turn, Cramer was a masterful storyteller. “I’m the guy on the barstool, telling them the story,” Cramer told Robert Boynton in The New New Journalism. I got to know Cramer over the last six-and-a-half years of his life. Cramer was hard to get on the phone but when you did get him he was yours. Can The Best Mayor Win? Fore Play “Mr.
