Sophisticated New Malware Shows Fake Malware Detection Warning
3.9.2010 22:24 · více o článku · sophisticated malware shows fake detection warning
Microsoft is warning that a new sophisticated malware has the ability to fool users to clicking on it because it can copy the UI and appearance of an official security alert presented by Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. The malware called Rogue:MSIL/Zeven will be able to detect which browser a user is using and then display a warning message prompting users to scan for viruses and threats. The ploy in the end is to get the computer user to hand over payment for a removal tool after the malware reports back that it has detected a threat or vulnerability on a user's system. The way it works is that the malware will present a dialogue box that looks official enough to get the users to click on. After that, the malware will cleverly disguise itself as an official Windows tool, allowing users to download security and system updates, change preferences, and scan a user's computer. It will then display a false threat alert with files that the program says it cannot remove without the aid of a paid malware removal tool, asking the user to purchase the tool. In reality, those files that were supposedly detected never existed on a user's computer to begin with, and the ploy really is to get payment.

Toshiba Introduces Lumileo P100 Pico Projector
3.9.2010 22:32 · více o článku · toshiba introduces lumileo p100 pico projector
It looks like Toshiba is joining the pico projector race by offering a pocketable, portable projector that can images up to 65-inches in a darkened room. Toshiba's offering is called the Lumileo P100 and is a compact device, measuring in at 116 x 50 x 18mm and weighing 96g with the battery in place. The projector, which fits comfortably in the palm of your hands, can display contents in VGA resolution with 14 lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of 200:1. The P100 has RCA and VGA connectors and 0.5W stereo speakers. Pico Projectors like those from 3M and AAXA Technologies have not caught on in the U.S. in part because early devices had high price tags and mediocre performances requiring a completely dark room for the displayed images to be viewable. Newer devices are becoming more affordable and are offering better performances with higher contrast and brightness, but the costs are still too high to take the technology mainstream as an impulsive consumer purchase.

Nikon Head Hints at Miniaturized Professional Camera
3.9.2010 22:47 · více o článku · nikon head hints miniaturized professional camera
Nikon chief Makoto Kimura told Reuters that the company is readying a miniaturized professional camera for launch by the end of the company's fiscal year ending in March. Speculation has it that Nikon would be launching Micro Four Thirds camera, but there hasn't been any leaked photos of prototype devices thus far leading many to believe that such a model won't be ready until early 2011 calendar year and not at this year's Photokina event. "We want to propose another type of photography," Kimura said in an interview on Thursday. "I don't think there is any need to limit it to two categories. We want to create a new market." Although Nikon's camera business in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are profitable and growing, the company is seeing threats in the mirrorless, Micro Four Thirds format from companies like Olympus and Panasonic. These cameras offer the benefits of a consumer digital camera in that they are compact and smaller, making them attractive as travel companions, but also merges in the positives of swappable lenses of the SLRs, or single lens reflex cameras.

Samsung's 50-inch 3D plasma screen television set will be sold at Best Buy for under $1,000, making it the first time that a 3D plasma has dipped below $1K in the U.S. The TV, model PN50C490B3D, will go for $990 at the electronics retailer and will offer 720p HD resolution, 600 Hz refresh rate, 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 3 HDMI inputs, 2 component inputs, one USB port, one VGA input, and one optical audio input. The model's asking price does not include 3D glasses, which can retail for up to $150 each. With the glasses and 3D movies, users can watch content in 3D, though the television is also capable of displaying and viewing 2D content. There also isn't any wireless built in.

New Jersey Planning to Add WiFi to Trains
3.9.2010 23:11 · více o článku · jersey planning wifi trains
Following New York's WiFi plans for Internet access to train commuters, New Jersey is now asking companies to submit bids to provide Internet hotspots on trains and rail stations so passengers can browse the web, access email, and stream audio and video. The proposal would cover 12 rail lines and 165 train stations in New Jersey's transit system and an award for the winning bid should be awarded by the end of the year. The system is expected to begin in 2011. Since the plans are still in its early phases without a formalized or winning bidder yet, NJ Transit does not know what the cost of WiFi access would be to riders. The spokesperson doesn't expect the transit authority to bear any burden of the costs. According to transit executive director, "The provision of wireless Internet service would be a welcome amenity for our customers, enabling those who wish to remain connected and productive during their commute to do so continuously." A meeting with interested firms in the WiFi proposal will be held on September 9th.

iOS Bests Linux to Become Third Popular Browsing Platform
3.9.2010 23:19 · více o článku · bests linux become third popular browsing platform
Apple's iOS mobile platform, which includes the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad, now is the third most popular browsing platform for users to consume content on and surf the Internet, trailing behind Mac OS X and Windows. The research conducted by Net Applications shows that iOS has captured 1.06 percent of the browsing web traffic in July and 1.13 percent in August, beating out Linux's 0.85 percent. Compared to OS X, which has about 4.32 percent between versions 10.5 and 10.6, iOS still has a ways to go, but the platform is leading against Google's Android operating system, which had accounted for 0.2 percent of web traffic in August, a minor increase from 0.18 percent in July. In face, the iPad alone has passed all of Android devices in mobile usage market share according to Net Applications.

Laser Powered Helicopter Paves The Way For Space Elevators
4.9.2010 05:14 · více o článku · laser powered helicopter paves space elevators
There's something about lasers that seems to appeal to everybody, and now LaserMotive has managed to use a few watts of laser power to keep a 22-gram model helicopter hovering for about an hour. While we can easily think of all sorts of mischief that can be done if we had a more powerful laser, LaserMotive's goal is to power space elevators to lift objects into orbit. Such a move would be useful as traditional UAVs require a lot of power from batteries or fuel, while solar-powered vehicles have limitations for staying in the air for long periods of time. With that in mind, ground-based laser propulsion could be a viable solution to enhance airtime. Check out a video of the laser in action after the jump.

Google Wave Offered As 'Wave in a Box'

Google Wave tried to be the next big thing and didn't quite make it, but that doesn't mean that all that effort is going down the drain when Google decided to shut it down. Google has promised to keep Wave alive at least until the end of the year, and now the search engine giant has confirmed that it will release most of the Wave code, dubbed "Wave in a Box". The code will allow developers to continue the job where Wave left off, and we're really looking forward to seeing what developers will be able to come up with. Who knows, maybe some developer will come up with a cool social networking application that will seriously challenge Facebook?

Video Impressions Of Google TV On Logitech Revue Hardware

It seems that one of the beta testers for Google TV couldn't keep all that goodness to himself, and has posted several pictures and some video of the near-finished interface and hardware. It's a brief and not particularly shocking video, but seeing it running on a home TV and hearing a regular guy expressing legitimate (if subdued) excitement make it a lot more real. více

A Closer Look At Apple’s Latest Patents
3.9.2010 23:35 · více o článku · closer look apple’s latest patents
Apple has been granted nine new patents, and I thought I'd take a look at the claims therein and see whether they match up to the descriptions, and whether they seem (to this humble blogger) like realistic items for which to gain exclusive rights. I've included links to all the patents, but the USPTO office is behaving strangely, and often returned an error when I tried to pull up documents. Those guys ought to claim a method to buy some new servers, whereby I don't have to submit the patent number five times before it comes up. I'm not going to get in the habit of analyzing in detail every patent that comes our way, but in light of recent lawsuits and all the noise being made about software patents specifically, it seems worthwhile to take a closer peek now and then. více
