* Apple has given a iPhone skin for Windows Mobile [the legal smackdown][1]. There's such a thing as trademark protection, but this seem extreme. Fortunately for the hardcore users who absolutely much have the iPhone skin on their Windows Mobile device, the creator of the skin has posted instructions for creating you own version (see link above).

* Drupal, the popular PHP-based content management system, has [released version 5.0][2]. Today also marks the sixth birthday of Drupal. Drupal powers a number of popular sites including [The Onion][3].

* The rumors of an HD-DVD encryption crack appear to be true; TorrentFreak [reports][4] that an HD-DVD torrent of [Serenity][5] is now available. Can we end the BluRay/HD-DVD format "war" now?

* The FBI is [warning of an email scam][6] in which the scammers suggest a "hitman" is on the trail of the recipients. The FBI site notes: "Please note, providing any personal information in response to an unsolicited e-mail can compromise your identity and open you to identity theft." (Note: The FBI's web design budget appears to very very small.)

* If we spent our time reporting every scam, phishing attack and other security hack that hit MySpace we wouldn't have time for anything else, but this one is funny. Someone apparently hacked MySpace's "Tom" account (the default friend for all new members) to [send out a link to a phishing scam][7]. Not news really until you consider that the Tom account has roughly 148,059,490 friends. What we'd like to know is how much money a phishing attack against MySpace can really generate -- do they ask users to steal their parents credit cards or something? [via Digg]
