Tor-Enabled Browser For the iPad, and Easy Tor Nodes on EC2

An anonymous reader writes "While there has been a port of Tor for jailbroken iOS devices for a long time, there was no way to use it if you did not want to lose your warranty. Now it looks like Apple has approved a Web browser for the iPad called Covert Browser, which includes a Tor client. If you look at the first screenshot on the author's page it looks like you can even select the Exit node. According to App Shopper it already hit place 64 in the iPad/Utilites category." And from another (of course) anonymous reader comes a link to CmdrTaco's take on another instance of Tor breaking into the world of "real users." As he notes, the Tor Cloud Project has posted simple instructions for installing EC2 Tor nodes using free-tier VMs (or paid nodes for roughly $30/month).

    As I’m sure you’ve assumed, I don’t care to shower or use the toilet in public and I’ve heard stories about basic training and it’s a bit scary in that respect, but I assume something one gets used to, question is, how OFTEN do you have to do something private in public? Like how far do they go with it? Do they allow you ANY privacy? And I’m referring to Air Force basic at Lackland btw…DO you get used to it?
