Ask HN: How to read data directly from a flash chip?

I'm an electronics novice (more of a software guy really) but need to dump the flash off an embedded device. It's surface mounted, and the device itself is bricked.What is a good method to go about this? Are there any flash-dumping-as-a-service companies anywhere? If I need to do this myself, what pitfalls can I expect and what equipment do I need?The chip is a EN29LV640B btw.

Interesting find. Could also check for session reuse in case they captured cookies from the original logins.

I'd take it home and analyse it. The curiosity would be too much to refuse. Besides, it might have clues on how to contact the owner. Or documents that would be interesting to read.

Ask HN: what options are there for iOS app development on Windows?

As a recent purchaser of an iPad, I'd like to try my hand at developing apps for it, just on a personal basis. However, I don't want to have to buy a Mac just for this. Are there any methods of app development available for the PC, particularly via Windows?
