I just witnessed - again - how the Internet actually runs on craziness. It relies on people doing crazy things. Some people do crazy things. I remember some guy who spent about 6 months reverse-engineering a Nokia phone so that he could hack it with his own native apps. That’s the kind of craziness and determination, or plane crazy idling of time, that people get up to out there. At the time, it was a lesson in how resourceful hacks can be, so never underestimate your security needs on the basis of “no one would ever do that..!”

And now, Mac guru Erica Sadun has gone and got Bonjour running on her iPhone. What she did with it is use her iPod Touch to connect, via Bonjour, with her iPhone and to remotely take pics using the iPhone camera. That in itself is actually interesting and gave me all kinds of ideas, but let’s stay focussed Paul!

So, Bonjour on the iPhone. What’s it good for? Well, if you’re an Apple devotee, like me, then I could use my iPhone to hook up with any other Apple gadget sitting in the home, like my Apple TV, Bonjour-enabled printer and so on. You could exchange files, use printers, surf web-enabled apps on your Mac from your iPhone. Imagine a cool Apple TV remote application running on the iPhone.

Surely Apple are going to bundle this in sooner or later. No. I bet that it’s already running in their labs and we just have to wait - and pay for - the usual cycle of incremental product updates before we get it. What the heck? I’m a true fan. I’ll probably buy it.
