As it’s the waning hours of Tuesday, I’ll admit I got a late start to this weeks Tab Bar Twosday, but better late than ever, eh?

Anyhow, here are your two free-to-use tab icons. Enjoy!

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Since it’s 12:20AM, it’s technically Tuesday which can only mean one thing… KIDS EAT FREE AT CHIC-FIL-A!!! Go get some chicken strips!

OH! Also, its Tab Bar Tuesday time! As always, here are 2 free schnazzy icons for you to use at will in your iphone dev projects.

Here are the latest icons. The first is by request from “Rod” who asks for a “Payment” icon of some kind. Hope a “$” sign works for you Rod!

The second is a reminder icon. I could sure use this icon to remind me to post next week’s tab icons…

That’s all for this week! Enjoy, and keep those requests coming!

I saw some news recently about an iPhone worm (more details here) making the rounds in Australia.  I have a brief response to those freaking out and making a big deal about this.  Ready for my quotable, official response?

It’s Complete and Utter NONSENSE!

No, really, let me explain.  This worm works against jailbroken phones ONLY.  What?  You mean phones that have been compromised to begin with?  Yes.  In order to jailbreak a phone, you have to essentially hack into it. Also, this worm propagates by using the default SSH password set within SSH, an application that can be installed after jailbreaking.  It’s not using some massively gaping hole left in by Apple when they wrote the iPhone OS.  It attacks an application, added by a few individuals.  That’s all.

Please understand, I’m not saying Apple is innocent of making stupid mistakes that lead to security vulnerabilities.  They do it all the time.  In this instance though, they didn’t.  This worm is a non-issue.

ps – On a geeky historical note, it’s method of propagation reminds me a little of the Morris Worm.  I guess everything old really is new again.

So they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And I had “intended” to post tab bar tuesday last week, but due to various unforseen circumstances (mowing the lawn, fixing the fence, hanging out with wife/kids) I find myself staring at 1 week gone by without a tab bar Tuesday. I’m ashamed of myself. Ok, not really.

Anyhow, on to the icons. By request, CaptCrunch asks

Any chance of getting a “Sharing”, or “Share”, or something along those lines?

Here you are sir.

Also, here’s a “Add user” icon

Thanks again for reading, and keep those tab icon requests coming!
