Smart phone security risks
(runs 5:32)
"It is not significantly risky to access your banking data on a smartphone while using an open wifi network, contrary to what your guest stated. The reason is that it's not wifi encryption (WEP, WPA, and WPA2 all have flaws and have been broken) nor the integrity of the wifi access point (which could be compromised) that provides the primary level of security between your device and the bank. It's the layer of SSL encryption which is layered on top of the connection that provides the bulk of the protection."The suggestion by Gregor that one not store their banking passwords on their smartphone is far more relevant to security in this case."

Teacher's dispute update, bridge funding and Duncan school of rock
Taking the next step. B.C. teachers are set to vote on their next move in their labour dispute with the province today, and an illegal strike appears to be one of the options. We get an opinion from a public sector labour relations expert.

Teachers, osprey nest, and workfare
Bill 22 means it's now illegal for teachers to go on strike. But the problems at the root of the dispute are far from solved. The BC Teachers Federation have decided their next move is to withdraw work on extracurricular activities.Tara Ehrcke, president of the Greater Victoria Teachers' Association, explains.
Until recently, a Telus cell phone tower in Colwood was host to an osprey nest. The company has now relocated the nest for the good of both the birds and technicians. Shawn Hall, spokesperson for Telus, fills us in.
The provincial is considering flying people on welfare up to labour-hungry Northern BC. It's still just an idea, but Jobs Minister Pat Bell suggested the government would consider paying the airfare, and in some cases the accomodation and training costs, to help people on social assistance get jobs in the Peace District. Leanne McArthur, owner of McEnna Staffing Resources in Fort St. John, describes the job market in the north.
