thawte: strange security recommendations
Got mail from Thawte (company is their customer) with the following recommendations:
--
Our NEW, in-depth white paper, "Securing Your Private Keys as Best Practice for Code Signing Certificates," shows how to make your organization too difficult for cyber-criminals to target. Learn how to:
• Minimize access to source code
• Formalize processes with test and release signing
• Deploy a test root certificate and server
• Use cryptographic hardware devices
--
I always thought that open-sourcing and through testing makes system much more security attack-resistive. I have not yet read the document, but this annotation sounds some strange.

cannot transfer photos to ipad
Why the hell isn't it possible just to ADD some new photos to ipad without deleting (via sync) the old ones?! Why the hell the program is being sold for that purpose for $30?! And why the hell the camera connecting kit shows me only the jpgs from camera and not exported jpgs from lightroom copied to same SD-card?!
UPD: still cannot sync photos, tried 3 different computers, itunes shows _different_ problems: hdd has low space, cannot backup your ipad and finally cannot transfer your purchases to this computer AND photos are not synced to ipad!
Seems apple had tested only operations in which user pays money to apple such as buying stuff in their appstore.
