A vulnerability in Apple's iOS operating systems may be allowing some apps to access consumers' photos and videos and associated location data. First reported by 9to5Mac, the loophole was recently examined by the New York Times, which confirmed that by allowing an iOS app access to location information, that app can then copy a user?s entire photo library -- without any further notification or warning. Apple is reportedly at work on a fix.

Judge Russell Nadel of Ventura Superior Court in Simi Valley found in favor of Matt Spaccarelli, who filed a small claims case against AT&T last month. Spaccarelli argued that the carrier unfairly slowed speeds on his iPhone 4′s unlimited data plan and said his phone was being throttled after using a mere 1.5 gigabytes to 2 gigabytes of data per month, even though AT&T’s 3GB monthly plan costs the same price of $30 per month. Judge Nadel awarded Spaccarelli�$85, instead of the $10,000 he requested, for each of the 10 months left on his contract ?
