It seems many companies still haven't applied software patches which could protect them as we hear from computer consultant Stuart Miles. What happens to ripped or unsold clothing that is given to charity? Much of it is sent to India to a recycling hub in Panipat, also known as the world's cast off capital. The BBC's Shilpa Kanna has paid a visit to find out more. This week is the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
