It’s not too late. Grilling season is still in effect. Perhaps you’ve been putting it off, too intimidated by last year’s grit and grime. The residue left over from a season of hot dogs and hamburgers can certainly be off-putting, but it shouldn’t stand in the …

There wasn’t much reason to doubt that September 9 date we’d been hearing for Apple’s annual fall iPod event, but now AppleInsider is saying it can independently confirm the date. Sure, it’s just a rumor backing up another rumor, but it’s more than Apple has to say on the topic so far. Meanwhile, AppleInsider also is backing up word that there won’t be a tablet at the event, that an iTunes “social networking” feature of some sort is in the cards, and that the iPods are getting cameras. Not a lot of controversy to be found here, but perhaps a modicum of assurance for folks desperately trying to pin down their iPod events schedule for the next couple of weeks.

Compatible with the first and second gen iPod touch as well as iPhone / iPhone 3G / iPhone 3GS with OS 3.0, this guy is hitting the shelves this fall for an MSRP of $119.99.

German site NokiaPort has rounded up a nice little cache of juicy Nokia details that it says is culled from “official information from Nokia, confirmed rumors and reputable sources of information,” and while we can’t personally vouch for most of what we’re seeing here, it’s all sounding reasonable enough — and with Nokia World right around the corner, we figured this would be a grand opportunity to lay it out and see how the chips fall. First up, Cseries and Xseries are said to be presented at the show, with the first Xseries model being an upgraded version of the just-launched 5530 XpressMusic with 3G thrown in, probably spelling doom for the 5800 — in other words, Xseries is very likely a wholesale rebranding of the XpressMusic line, which totally makes sense. Speaking of touchscreens and Nokia branding, the site says that we’ll see another touchscreen Nseries model to keep the N97 company before the year’s out, followed by Eseries’ first S60 5th Edition model in 2010. Coincidentally, they’ve got a part of a supposed new touch model pictured on the site (see above), though we’re not clear on what we’re seeing. In the Maemo department, the N900 is likely to be the only Maemo 5 device for the better part of the year, though there’s apparently a mysterious N920 already making the rounds in the Espoo campus.
As technologies go, xenon flashes are apparently on the outs with Nokia — better hang onto your phones, N82 owners — while capacitive screens should start to take hold. Samsung has already proven that S60 works just fine and dandy with a capacitive display on the i8910, so we’re stoked to see where Nokia takes it. Finally, OMAP3 cores are said to be working their way into the lineup following a Cortex A8-based introduction in the N900; Nokia has historically lagged its competition as processing power goes, so it’ll be great to see them start to match up with the Pres and the iPhones of the world — at least as far as raw computational might goes, anyhow.

While Google Calendar is a great way to keep organized, people have found another use for it. Using Google Calendar and the new “Search Public Events” feature, people are able to scoop up “private” corporate data that’s probably meant to be private, but is set for the public to view.
Google Calendar allows users to select whether they want the content of their calendar private or public. If it’s made public, the data within those calendars can be returned in the Google Calendar search results.
According to PC World, information has come up in search results about vendor meetings, and the names of projects in the works. Dial-in numbers and passcodes for business meetings are also turning up. One example they came across was details for a JPMorgan Chase & Co conference call regarding a “SAN Security Remediation Project.”
The problem is that people use Google Calendar to keep themselves organized, so they include all of their important business meetings and events in detail, apparently not realizing that they set their calendar to public.
I decided to go see for myself what kind of corporate data I could find, and so I went to Google Calendar and typed in “passcode” as my search term, and clicked “search public events.” It came up with hundreds of results with most of them containing telephone numbers and passcodes for conference calls. Results like:
Will companies restrict their employees from using Google Calendar and other online methods for organization because of this? It’s not a likely way for sensitive information to get leaked, but it’s happening. The users are the ones to blame because they’re not setting their calendars to private, leaving the World to see everything!
This is one reason why public applications just don’t do well with corporate users who clearly don’t know how to use the application appropriately.
