Dangerous Web threat is one of the actual issues tech users are concerned about. In response to this threat ScanSafe that is the pioneer and leading provider of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) Web security, launched Threat Spy. It is the first virtual map that shows the increasingly dangerous Web threat landscape.
According to the SOURCEWIRE, “Threat Spy allows the public to take a step away from the volumes of data showing the increasing dangers of the Web and actually see the malware being blocked every day in different places around the world,” comments Mary Landesman, senior security researcher at ScanSafe. “We reported a 278 percent increase in malware in the first half of 2008 and this innovative map visualizes this worrying increase. We hope the map will demonstrate how dangerous the threat landscape is and will prompt companies to take action.”
Threat Spy provides detailed information on the more than 100 million Web threats it blocks each month. Additionally, the map provides with the information about the origin of the blocked threat and also the date and time of the block.
“The Web 2.0 environment is a dynamic one and we wanted to provide an equally dynamic map of the threats confronting today’s Web surfers,” says Landesman. “The beauty of Threat Spy is that it captures up to date, detailed information on threats shortly after they are blocked. This not only provides timely insight into existing, new and emerging Web-based threats – it also helps demonstrate the critical importance of real-time Web scanning.”

Eight individuals bought the $999.99 I am Rich application from the App Store before it was pulled off the store. The developer states he does not know why Apple removed the application: Heinrich, a German software developer, has yet to hear back from Apple concerning the removal. "I have no idea why they did it and am not aware of any violation of the rules to sell software on the App Store," Heinrich said in an e-mail with The Times today.
According to Heinrich, six people in the U.S., one from Germany and one from France bought the $999.99 application. This brought Heinrich $5600 in net revenue.

Multilabs, a Northern Nevada company that specializes in embedded and computer systems design and support, has released latest product, a computer - "Retro". It is a throw-back to the early days of computing, a BASIC language computer. "I miss being able to turn on a computer, have it boot in about 1 second, and then start writing programs", says Don Bartley the owner or Multilabs. "It was also nice having direct control over the system before complex operating systems took over."
According to the PRWEB, Retro is a computer with a built-in BASIC language interpreter, commands to give the user direct control over the system, no complex operating system to get in the users way, and even an expansion port that allows users to connect their own equipment to it and write programs to control them.
"It may seem a bit simplistic in today's world but Retro has many uses and applications", says Don, "There is something for everybody, beginners to experts alike." Retro offers an environment that is not overwhelming and is user friendly that a beginner can learn computer programming on. More seasoned programmers will enjoy the direct control over the system without a complex operating system getting in the way. "Besides programming, Retro offers its expansion port", says Don, "With the expansion port any user can connect their own devices and equipment to Retro and program Retro to control them." "Retro combines software and hardware disciplines together", Don adds.
Retro can control external equipment such as relays, motors, solenoids, and other industrial equipment; it can also read data from temperature and position sensors for example. With this level of control Retro is not for just for the home user but has a wide array of applications.
Other connectors of the product are: a PS/2 style keyboard, digital joystick, asynchronous serial communications, sound, and a VGA monitor.
"Whether for personal or professional use Retro is affordable, easy to use, and above all enjoyable", says Don. Can a computer travel back in time? Yes it can.

Interesting statistics on SOURCEWIRE:
• 84% of parents rely on verbal agreements to ensure their children ‘surf safely’
• 45% of children use chatrooms to make new friends
• 40% use facebook and myspace
• 48% regularly use downloadsThe most active season during a years is summer holidays.
Millions of children across the UK broke up from school, more time is spent at home, correspondingly more time is spent on facebook, chatting to friends online and downloading music. Interesting question comes to our minds - Are parents actually monitoring what their children are doing online?
As SOURCEWIRE informs us, according to a survey from BroadbandChoices.co.uk, the answer is a resounding “No.” That is seen in the above mentioned percentage. That is not only parents problems but each illegal download represents the great issue that should be controlled.
Product Director, BroadbandChoices.co.uk, Michael Phillips, said: “We were surprised to learn that such a high proportion of parents heavily rely on verbal agreements to ensure their children’s online activities are safe and legal. Children are often more tech-savvy than their parents and the click of a mouse can take them anywhere. This research highlights the need for parents to be aware of the simple checks they can put in place to safeguard children who are increasingly using the internet to build new relationships.
“As well as the possible safety issues, there are financial implications to your child’s internet activities. With 48% downloading music online it would be easy to exceed your broadband fair usage limit leaving unsuspecting parents out of pocket at the end of the month.”
BroadbandChoices.co.uk offers recommendations to help busy parents effectively monitor their child’s online activity. These are:
1. Parental control software: Some ISPs like AOL and BT offer parental controls as part of their service, while other users can get them with their antivirus and security suites. Parental controls allow you to block certain sites and keywords, apply different settings for different age groups and monitor your child’s online activity. You can also use the Messenger Plus! program to keep a log of conversations they might be having using Instant Messenger.
2. Education: Completely banning older children from the Internet is unlikely to stop them from using chatrooms and social networking sites, so instead, explain why they need to be careful on the Internet and make sure they know never to give out personal information or meet strangers without an adult around.
3. All on one PC: Keeping the family computer in the living room is a great way of ensuring that your children stay safe online. They’re far less likely to spend time in chatrooms or downloading illegally if their parents are in the same room. Also, make sure that you’re set as the administrator on any PC in the home, so that only you can change the settings on your parental control software.
4. Antivirus and firewall software: Using security software to protect your PC will also protect your child from spam emails with inappropriate content, and phishing emails where they could give out personal information including bank details.
5. Monitor downloads: If you’re concerned about the affect your children’s downloading is having on your monthly usage allowance, use a Download Monitor such as ours to keep an eye on downloads and set alarms to alert you when you near your limit.

What does attract attention of world class expert speakers, from Microsoft, McKinsey, eBay, APC, Symantec, Copan Systems and many more, and attendees from more than 23 countries outside the UK? Seems it is the 3rd Power and Cooling for Data Centres – World Forum that is going to take place 2-3 October 2008 in London.
As a World Forum, the event will be characterised by the presence of experts in the field of power, cooling, Green and innovative technologies from around the world. The event focuses on one of the most important issues that is the reduction of the cost of power, blade and storage technology impact, power failure, design requirements for high density environments, monitoring technologies, water and liquid cooling technologies, chip level cooling, and nanotechnology and also assesses alternative sources of energy.
According to the SOURCEWIRE, “Power and Cooling World Forum will be a compelling learning experience, an outstanding networking opportunity to meet thought leaders and top experts in the Data Centre sector and international peers, and also offers a valuable exhibition opportunity for companies seeking to raise awareness of their products and services in this very competitive marketplace,” commented Nicola Hayes, vice president of BroadGroup, the consulting group who research and organise the annual event.
The increased interest in the forum is resulted by the range of interests, such as Data centres continue to edge into the realm of regulation and public interest, the green agenda impacts corporate social responsibility, enterprise RFPs will place increasing emphasis on compliance with legislative stipulations, and forum participation will contribute to, and influence, policy making, to achieve a common goal of reduced carbon emissions, successful power strategies and the premier showcase for emerging cooling technologies.
“BICSI Europe is pleased to be involved in the Power and Cooling event, having attended previous events we have found the information to be of an excellent quality and has real relevance to many of our members,” commented Andrew Stevens, managing director of CNET Training. “With the forthcoming release of the BICSI/ANSI Data Centre Standard this topic will be of great interest over the coming months to the BICSI membership and we would encourage them to consider attending.” All the presentations at this event will be submitted to BICSI for the awarding of Continuing Education Credits (CECs).

Great agreement, according to the SOURCEWIRE Icomera AB, that is the world’s leading supplier of Internet connectivity to trains, acquired UK-based Moovera Networks, the award-winning manufacturer of fixed and mobile communications systems. This agreement will lead Icomera AB to become the foremost provider of in-vehicle, industrial-grade Internet access technology – encompassing trains, buses, coaches, trucks and ferries – with a global customer base including many of the world’s largest transport operators.
“The market for Internet connectivity on public transport is developing at a very rapid pace,” said Ola Sjölin, Chief Executive Officer at Icomera. “Whether for Wi-Fi hotspots, CCTV monitoring, vehicle tracking or streaming entertainment, real-time connections to buses and trains are increasingly in demand. Moovera has acquired a strong reputation in the industry as a developer of innovative yet price competitive technology and has established an impressive customer base that in many instances overlaps with our own. It was a natural progression for Icomera and Moovera to combine forces to offer a complete range of solutions from low-cost bus products to high-end systems certified for the railway industry. Moving forward we will continue to build on Icomera’s position as the dominant force in on-board vehicle communications.”
“For some time now Moovera and Icomera have been addressing the same markets from different directions,” said Jim Baker, CEO and founder of Moovera. “While Icomera has focused on sophisticated and complex rail systems, we have been targeting the broader market for Internet connectivity on road transport and outdoor networks. Many of the world’s largest transport operators like National Express and First Group own rail and bus networks and are already deploying both Icomera and Moovera solutions; the merger of our two businesses will create a single supplier with the best possible range of solutions for our customers worldwide.”
According to the information provided by the SOURCEWIRE, after the acquisition, Icomera will adopt the Moovbox brand for its new combined product line and leverage Moovera’s worldwide network of Channel Partners who sell and support Moovbox systems in their regional markets. Moovera’s Kent-based operations and its nine employees will become Icomera’s UK office, bringing the total workforce in Sweden and the UK to over forty people. Moovera CEO Jim Baker will take up the post of Chief Marketing Officer at Icomera. The financial terms of the acquisition are not disclose.

Who won’t agree that nowadays people sit at computers for a along, long time? Even though it is not good for health our work or hobby or even illness to sit at a PC for hours makes professionals think over how to offer comfort while doing so.
Different companies care about their clients, prepare and create different furniture to avoid discomfort. But not each citizen was satisfied with these efforts. There was a segment of the population who couldn't enjoy the benefits of
Kneelsit , the chair was designed for the average size range of people up to 6-feet-2-inches tall. But now Kneelsit has increased the number of seat position bearings so the range of people it will now fit is between 5-feet to 6-feet-8-inches.
According to Australian-based Greg Usher, “the
Kneelsit chair is designed to give excellent lumbar support to reduce stress on the lower back. It is also customized to fit the users' individual body, but the truly remarkable feature is that there are no levers to pull or buttons to push. The user carries out an initial adjustment of seat, kneeler and backrest to suit his/her height and weight, in effect they do a "custom-fit". From then on the unique, balance mechanism works automatically, all while gently correcting and supporting the users' posture naturally without the need to fiddle with various controls. “
Kneelsit’s superiority is expressed in its balance and natural movement, that makes less stressful to sit at the computer for a long time.
According to the SOURCEWIRE the chair has been universally well-received, with a world-wide customer base including Microsoft, IBM and Oxford University to name a few.
Testimonials keep on coming from around the globe, like Cindy in Massachusetts who said, "Words are inadequate to describe the feeling of sitting in the Kneelsit chair. The harmony it brings to my physical form is pure bliss."
John Loest from Ventura Ca. couldn't sit for more than two minutes at a time for 24 years despite consulting three orthopedic surgeons, several chair specialists and purchasing more 'specialty' chairs than he could recall. But after purchasing the Kneelsit he said, "My back thanks you, my butt thanks you, my brain thanks you, my neck thanks you, my shoulders thank you, my emotions thank you, my entire body thanks you, and I thank you."

"Boogie SuperStar" - Electronic Art's latest game for the Nintendo Wii system is already announced. But instead of finding Prince Charming, the goal of the game is to beat rival players' singing and dancing skills to earn the grand title of Boogie SuperStar. Players are "discovered" and whisked away in a stretch limo to an island where they hone their skills for the competition. Electronic Arts created the game specifically for female teens.
In the United States, 38 percent of all gamers are female, according to the Entertainment Software Association.
Girls - and boys too - can choose their own character and customize its name, hairstyle and outfit for their performance. They then pick music from a playlist of Top 40 pop songs, including hits from Britney Spears, Leona Lewis and Kanye West.
Unlike other popular music games such as "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero," players of the new game dictate how their character or avatar moves on screen. The game includes a microphone that measures players' vocal fluctuations. The motion-sensing Wii controller records their dance moves.
Another upcoming girl-targeted game for the Wii, Sega's "Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek," will also be released in October 2008 with "Boogie SuperStar." Analysts and critics in the gaming industry say both "Boogie SuperStar" and "Nancy Drew" Wii games are a positive step for video game publishers and will help double their consumer base.

While wondering through the world wide web looking for some interesting news leads me to thought of the chain of reaction. Every time I read out information about the new product it seems that it is the continuation of not only techniques but demands and needs that a professional or the users in general have. There is no field without technical support. Today not any business is focused on the whole population but the segments,target audience that has special interests and demands.

Blogvasion covered the issue of computer games and their influences on children. This topic is still active and still of great importance. I think everybody agrees that hardly one can forbid children paling computer games. That is logical but according to the SourceWire, games company behind the latest Wii sensation We Love Golf game has asked a leading academic to develop ideas and techniques to embed subliminal lessons about physics and maths in game play.
How it is planned to be achieved? University of Portsmouth academic, Nipan Maniar, who is famous for developing the cultural awareness game ‘C-Shock’ together with games company Capcom will develop subliminal mind programming techniques in the architecture of video games to provide structured learning environments that players won't be consciously aware of; and in subject areas many students find hard to understand.
Mr Maniar said: "The power of games as a learning tool is the great untapped education resource of our time. I expect many other games companies will get on board when they see the obvious benefits to society of using games as one more tool to educate our young people."
The players have to deal with calculations on wind, surface and wind speed to determine how hard to hit the golf ball. The calculations are never the same - every time the game is played is a new experience.
"We set up a special Games Education Projects team to take a closer look at this idea of using games like We Love Golf as learning environments, and to explore the idea of seamless learning between game play and old fashioned subjects that many kids hate - maths, physics and trigonometry," Rhys Cash, Capcom's Research Manager said.
"The idea is to get people playing games thinking they are a champion golfer, but Einstein and Newton are lurking in the background sending useful and important messages to the subconscious where they can be stored and remembered and, hopefully, applied in other areas of life," Mr Cash added.
"It makes perfect sense to take the seeing and make it part of the doing in a game play environment. The possibilities to use technology in this way are very exciting for anyone who has an interest in education, teaching and learning," he said.We Love Golf will be released on July 4, 2008.
