Several short stories for your consideration on this fine November day.

The Samsung is introducing Maintenance Mode for when you have to hand your phone over to be repaired! Finally, the most interesting, the use of IIS Web Logs for command and control... this is amazing. Unfortunately, the article didn't have a ton of information, but it's a really cool new method!
