Breakfast briefing: MySpace's expensive, empty digs - and iPhone worms

• After delays to Rupert Murdoch's paywall strategy and questions about its Google search deal, MySpace's money management is once again under the microscope after it emerged that the struggling web company is still paying $1m a month for an empty office complex in Los Angeles, reports the Financial Times. Ouch.

• The iPhone unlocking community took pause over the last few days, after some some users with jailbroken handsets found themselves hit by a Rick Astley worm. What does this mean for ordinary iPhone users? Not much probably, since jailbreaks are basically built on security exploits and so more susceptible to attack. But the potential is still there.

• This weekend's food-for-thought came from Paul Carr, formerly of this parish, now writing for Techcrunch. In a post spinning off last week's shootings at the Fort Hood US military base, he accuses 'citizen journalists' of indulging in a dangerous kind of selfishness. I have to admit I found his argument slightly odd, though I agree we all carry a responsibility to share accurate information. Still, it's engendered some interesting and eloquent responses. Worth pondering.
