Keep your iPhone secure by keeping it clean

Published by | Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Recently a colleague of mine set down his passcode-secured iPhone on the desk we were sitting at. As I was marveling at how smudged the screen was from his constant use, I noticed that among the various smudges I could clearly see four distinct fingerprints, whose positions I realized revealed the four numbers he used for his passcode lock. The passcode lock is a feature of the iPhone that, when enabled, requires the user to enter a four-digit code to unlock the phone. It’s a great feature to keep your contacts, email, and account secure should your iPhone get lost or stolen. But because you have to type in your passcode every time you use the phone, the four fingerprints over those numbers can easily become the most distinct marks among the smudges.

Dane Howard, author of Picasa 3 Essential Training.

New in the lynda.com library is Picasa 3 Essential Training by Dane Howard. We asked Dane why this release was special, and here’s what he had to say:

Dane: I’ve been publishing an on-going photo chronicle project with my family for about 10 years now. I’ve documented and written about a number of shooting, publishing and photograph-sharing techniques, but I’m mostly excited about how new technology like iPhone for instance, makes it so easy to record a photo, video or audio file directly and email it somewhere instantly. I’ve been slowly building up my base of social networks over the past two years and am now authoring (and distributing) the media directly into those sites. With this course, I share many of my organization, editing and distribution tips within Google’s easy to use and free application, Picasa.

Dane Howard has authored multiple lynda.com titles on digital photography. He is also a designerdad and founder of VUVOX.
