Charlie Miller, a researcher at Accuvant and one of the world's best-known Apple hackers, said Tuesday that the bug proves the Apple App Store isn't as safe as advertised. "Until now, you could just blindly trust and download as many apps as you wanted and not worry about it," Miller said in an interview with CNN. "But until they fix this, you really should think twice about any apps you're downloading, because they could be malicious." Researcher: iOS flaw raises questions about App Store's security.

Due to problems lining up with each other, the shuttle's "hard-mating" with the permanent orbiter threatened to push the six-man crew off schedule. The hook-up was finished around 3 p.m., yet NASA's Mission Control noted a possibility that the installation of an express logistics carrier would not be completed until Sunday, one day later than planned.

The claim stems from earlier projections, made before the Democrats' health care reform law was passed in 2010, that Medicare's hospital insurance trust fund would be insolvent before the end of this decade. Former President Bill Clinton led the way Wednesday, saying that the Democrat-backed Affordable Care Act bought time for Medicare and made it financially solid until 2024. He said Romney, who wants to repeal the act, would reverse this gain and make Medicare "go broke in 2016."

But the military assistance that Iran and Russia are speeding to Shiite groups in Iraq imperils that change. It now appears that a majority of Iraq's political parties and Shiite religious authorities blame Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's authoritarian tendencies and exclusion of mainstream Sunni groups for the crisis, and they seek his replacement as the starting point for resolving it. But just as this political majority has begun to form against him, Iran and Russia have extended al-Maliki material and political support that insulates him from domestic political pressure and may even embolden him to try to stay on.

The new law -- passed by legislators and signed hours later on Tuesday -- not only signals a change in America's so-called Rust Belt, but is also the latest sign that the power of organized labor is shrinking in the United States. American unions already have a fraction of the influence they did a few decades ago. Only about 12% of workers are union members, down from 20% in 1983, according to federal data. In the private sector, the plunge has been even steeper: union membership has dropped from 17% in 1983 to 7% today. Michigan is the latest 'Rust Belt' state to approve a right-to-work law.

However, his allegiance to the Mother Country was sorely tested in 1956 by his British counterpart, Sir Anthony Eden, during the Suez Canal crisis. The Suez Crisis pre-dated the Cold War. It became a flash point in the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, and Australia's most revered leader was caught up, smack-bang in the middle. It's a story outlined in the latest book on the political life of Sir Robert, 'The Menzies Era', written by another former PM, John Howard. Sir Robert Menzies was caught in the middle of a power play by the US and Britain over the Suez Canal crisis in 1956. Menzies was thrust into the centre of a worldwide political drama when made the messenger by his UK counterpart Sir Anthony Eden. His threat of likely military action was ridiculed by the then Egyptian President and then he was sidelined during key meetings. Former PM John Howard calls Britain's behaviour of Menzies during that period as 'poor treatment of a loyal ally' The book also contains rare images of Menzies during his time as Australian Prime Minister, giving an insight into his record stint in power | UK | [
