Mon, 12 Feb 2007Security experts are warning PC users to be on guard against viruses masquerading as Valentine's Day messages, which could damage computers."Computer users should keep a wary eye on any romantic messages received by email, as many of them could contain malicious code," said US security firm PandaLabs after detecting an increase in a worm it dubbed Nurech.A.The worm hides in emails with subjects like: "Together You and I" or "Til the End of Time Heart of Mine".People who open an attached file such as postcard.exe can end up infecting their computers.Security firm Symantec said it had detected "large-scale spamming" of emails including a Trojan horse, a program that contains or installs a malicious program.Symantec said the malware was a new version of Trojan.Peacomm or the "Storm Trojan"."With Valentine's Day approaching, this time around the authors are attempting to tug on the heartstrings of unsuspecting users with romantic subject lines
Intel readies the next generation of PC chips 2007-02-12 08:55:00 SAN FRANCISCO: Intel
will demonstrate an experimental computer chip Monday with 80 separate processing engines, or cores, that company executives said provided a model for commercial chips that would be used widely in standard desktop, laptop and server computers within five years.While the chip is not compatible with Intel's current chips, the company said it had already begun design work on a commercial version that would essentially have dozens or even hundreds of Intel-compatible microprocessors laid out in a tiled pattern on a single chip.The chip design is intended to exploit a generation of manufacturing technology that the company introduced last month. Intel said it had changed the basic design of transistors in such a way that it would be able to continue to shrink them — offering lower power and higher speeds — for at least another half decade or more.Nitan Borkar, one of the chip's designers, showed an air-cooled computer based on the chip running a simple scientific

State Attorney's Office gets astronaut case file 2007-02-09 11:13:00 State Attorney
's Office gets astronaut case fileBy Tamara Lytle and Mark K. MatthewsThe Orlando Sentinel(MCT)WASHINGTON - If astronaut Lisa Marie Nowak's life was falling apart, she gave no hint to her colleagues at Johnson Space Center in the days before her arrest in Orlando on a charge of attempted murder.She finished her workweek as usual Friday before starting her scheduled vacation, according to NASA managers.That weekend, Nowak drove nonstop to Orlando, where she assaulted Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman with pepper spray in an airport parking lot, police say.NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale said Wednesday that there was "no indication of concern with Lisa" in the hours before her cross-country odyssey.That's one reason why NASA is going to reassess its psychological-testing procedures for astronauts, Dale and other managers said in a news conference from agency headquarters in Washington and Johnson Space Center in Houston.At the direction of NASA Administrator Michael G Read more:State
Google Watch - Gmail - Google Opens Gmail to You. Yes You. 2007-02-08 12:27:00 Almost three years after its launch, Gmail
is now available to all comers. Google
continues to refer to the e-mail app as a beta product.When the Gmail launched on April Fool's Day in 2004 and offered 1GB of storage, a lot of folks thought Google was pulling their leg. After all, Hotmail and Yahoo only offered 2MB.But Gmail, which now offers almost 3GB of storage, ended up redefining how Web users think of e-mail applications and hinted that Google would be an app-building powerhouse. Hotmail and Yahoo have scrambled to catch up.Gmail's debut ruffled a lot of feathers, though. Privacy advocates were taken aback by Google's intent to sell ads on e-mails. Those concerns are perhaps even more valid now, given the number of applications Google offers to the public.Google has had some problems with Gmail lately, most notably in Germany where it lost a trademark case. The app is now called Google Mail in the UK and Germany. Google Watch - Gmail - Google Opens Gmail to You. Yes You..
Mobile giants plot secret rival to Google 2007-02-05 11:43:00 Europe's biggest telecoms groups are aiming to create a mobile phone search engine that could challenge Yahoo! and Google
, the US giants.Vodafone, France Telecom, Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom, Hutchison Whampoa, Telecom Italia and one American network, Cingular, are among the companies that will come together for secret, high-level talks at the mobile industry's biggest annual trade show in Barcelona next week.Declining call revenues are driving network operators together to compete against Google and Yahoo! search enginesFaced with declining revenues as calls become cheaper, network operators are determined to secure a large slice of the lucrative search advertising market.In the UK alone, more than 20 per cent of subscribers are expected to have access to mobile internet at broadband speeds by the end of 2007, which should prompt a dramatic increase in the use of search engines via mobile phones.The initiative will come as a surprise to Google and Yahoo!, which have lost no time in Read more:Mobile

's iPhone
Staff reporterMon, 12 Feb 2007Apple's iPhone hasn't even been launched yet and already rival companies are lining up services it hopes will knock it off its throne.British mobile music company Omnifone is one of the first to take aim at Apple's iPhone before its November release with the introduction of MusicStation, reports The Star Online.Music Station, which will be unveiled on Monday, is a new music service which will allow cellphone users to download new songs from a number of major music labels for a weekly fee of £1.99.Initially the service will only be available in Europe, but Omnifone has set up deals with 23 mobile networks around the world, including South Africa's Vodacom, and plans to bring the service to 690 million subscribers in 40 countries."MusicStation will give users of any music capable mobile phone the ability to legally access, download and enjoy an unlimited amount of music, from a global music catalogue supported by the mu
intel shows off metro notebook concept 2007-04-17 05:24:00 It looks like Intel has more than just wearable computers and newfangled UMPCs in mind for our future, with the company also recently showing off this slightly less far fetched "metro
notebook," apparently aimed primarily at women. One of the most most conceptey elements here is the SideShow-esque e-ink display embedded in the laptop's lid, which promises to let you view your email, calendar, and other information even when the laptop's powered down. What's more, Intel also sees the entire laptop acting as a charging pad for your other gadgets, though it seems you'll still have to charge the laptop itself the old fashioned way. Even without those less-than-imminent additions, however, the laptop appears to be a pretty decent unit, measuing just 0.7 inches thick and packing a Core 2 Duo processor, along with Bluetooth, WiFi, and WiMAX connectivity.SOURCE

YouTube to Be Dethroned Soon 2007-04-19 04:58:00 YouTube was acquired by Google in October 2006 for $1.6 billion and was quickly brought in the first position of the top online video sharing services. Now, YouTube is still the leader but is more and more threatened by other companies that are continuously making alliances to dethrone the Google product. The first alliance was made by Viacom and Joost and was announced just after the search giant was sued by the owner of MTV and Comedy Central. At that time, Viacom tried to make Google envious by signing a deal with Joost, a platform able to distribute their content. Although YouTube chose the easier way to reply to the deal, it attracted the users' attention, the search giant sustained the number of visitors was boosted just after the Viacom removal.Then, several little companies announced their plans to create similar YouTube services but only some of them managed to appear online. One of them is GodTube, a video service with a different goal, aiming to attract Christians to their Read more:YouTube

Google to Lose the First Place Soon 2007-04-22 17:02:00 Google, the leader of the online search engines, is more and more challenged by other Internet companies that are aiming to build similar solutions with the ones developed by the search giant.In the recent period, the most threatened product is surely YouTube, the online video sharing service, acquired in October 2006 for $1.6 billion. Microsoft and News Corporation announced their plans to build a solution similar with the one powered by Google, aiming to lure the same segment of users. GodTube is also a YouTube competitor that was created to attract Christians and offer them church-related content. As a reply, Google created a special YouTube channel for bishops that will offer the same type of clips.The most powerful news service on the Internet, Google News, is now challenged by MySpace News a similar solution that receives news from numerous sources. Just like the Google product, MySpace received headlines from several publications and organizes them on categories, offering a Digg Read more:Google

Get Your 3D Glasses to View Our Sun in 3D! 2007-04-24 17:28:00 NASA released on the Web the first 3D pictures of our sun, but in order to see them you’ll need to wear 3D glasses.And it’s not only the spectacular view of a blue or green sun that might interest you. NASA says the new images, provided by two spacecrafts orbiting Earth, can also help scientists discover how to effectively predict the famous solar flares that disrupt GPS satellites, cell-phone communications, computers and cars.A solar flare is a violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere with an energy equivalent to a billion megatons, traveling normally at about 1 million km per hour (about 0.05% the speed of light), though sometimes much faster. Solar flares take place in the solar corona and chromosphere, causing geomagnetic storms in Earth's magnetosphere. But they can also affect the astronauts onboard the ISS.According to NASA, the images were obtained using the twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, satellites that can create more accurate, real-time view Read more:Glasses

's diseaseimprove their walk speed and distance.The device, developed by Technion-Israel Institute of Technology scientists, combines audio and visual feedback to improve the patients' reactions and overall stride length.For the auditory signals, it uses a device similar to a cellphone in size which measures body movement and uses earphones to send feedback after processing the information.The visual feedback device is one already developed 10 years ago for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and produces a virtual tiled-floor image displayed on one eye through a small piece attached on the glasses worn by the patient. So, he can distinguish the real obstacle from the virtual background to navigate even rough terrain or stairs.Lead researcher Professor Yoram Baram of the Faculty of Computer Science and Professor Ariel Miller of the Facu
Google Angry with Viacom's Lawsuit 2007-05-01 12:06:00 The story so far: Viacom
, the owner of MTV and Comedy Central, sent a subpoena to the search giant, demanding to remove more than 100.000 clips from YouTube. The main reason?Viacom considered that Google
receives praises and money for the content provided by other publishers. Of course Google agreed and started the huge removal. After only one week, Viacom went even further and filed a complaint against Google, suing the company for copyright infringement. Since the lawsuit was officially confirmed, the battle was continued by other elements concerning the two companies. For example, the YouTube users wanted to sue Viacom because some of their clips were removed in the huge deletion process started at the MTV owner's request.Today, a new important step is made by Google that decided to release a public response to comment on the lawsuits and the facts that caused the trouble. “By seeking to make carriers and hosting providers liable for internet communications, Viacom's complaint t Read more:Lawsuit
