Over on the aptly named BigBoss iPhone website, the BigBoss himself is warning users NOT to try the leaked iPhone 3.0 software.  He’s also posted a very helpful guide to downgrading your iPhone from 3.0Beta to 2.2.1 in OSX or Windows.  

Looking through the comment section, BigBoss is also updating the main article to make it more clear based on comment feedback.  Big props to BigBoss for helping out everyone interested in the 3.0 iPhone firmware.  With his helpful hints, hopefully you can avoid bricking your beautiful shiny iPhone.

You have been warned!

Dennis Bournique of WAP review has written an excellent article telling the world why the W3C’s proposed handling of HTTPS by proxy servers is a REALLY BAD IDEA.

Over at About Mobility, C.Enrique Oritz has posted his HELL YEAH article, stating how BAD AN IDEA it is to even call it HTTPS.  The problem is that the W3C HTTPS standard will allow traffic from your mobile browser to your (encrypted server) Bank to be decrypted by proxied transcoders, like Opera.  The user thinks his data is secure, because it’s HTTPS, when infact, the return traffic from the Opera proxy server is not encrypted.
