Kaspersky: Apple security is like Microsoft's in 2002

Lucky

Excellent from Kaspersky to also provide us with a Anti-Virus after a little-big scare!

Reminds me of the eye-phone episode from Futurama:

Man: Then, you, Mr. or Mrs. ... [we hear a soundbite of Fry belching], need the soothing relief of Mom's Caustic Anti-Fungal Bleach!

[The product appears on the screen.]

Fry: Ooh, can I somehow charge it to my eyePhone for an additional fee?

Man (v.o.): Hell, yes!

Apple after Steve Jobs is still Steve Jobs' Apple

Going for ...

Sainthood!

1. exemplary model;

2. extraordinary teacher;

3. wonder worker or source of benevolent power;

4. intercessor;

5. selfless, ascetic behavior;

6. a life often refusing material attachments or comforts;

7. possession of a special and revelatory relation to the holy.

Probably not number 6, but we'll gloss over that one. Since our beloved leader Steve can make you buy something by touching it, he has some relation to the holy!

Multimillionaire's private space ship 'can land on Mars'

Boldy go

Its nice to see that there are people out there that not only talk big but build big. And why can't they make money off sending people off to the Moon or Mars.

Adobe Flash: 20m phones flip Steve Jobs the bird

Still not working?

So Adobe is working on it? They bring out CS versions at 1 year interval but can't make a lightweight, quick, hardware accelerated version of a flash player?

They where probably too busy working on the security flaws in Reader!

Apple tightens rules for iPad news delivery

Belgium

They are testing things out on a small country. If things work out, they will move up. If it doesn't, its only a small little country, they won't complain.

Products

Why isn't it possible to just want a good product? I use a macbook pro for daily work and surfing and a PC for gaming (and an Xbox). My nokia works great to call people.

I just use the device that serves be best, if its a bad product or design, that i sell it again and buy something better.

Dell outsourcer lifts US woman's saucy pix from PC

Saw him copy

... wouldn't the copy be from her pc to her pc?

Eitherway, funny stuff. Big fail on her part and his part too. Like a bad version of a 419!

iPad

Do I buy an iPad now? What if he's right, what to do, what to do?

3D TV: Avatar or Ishtar?

Glasses

If i have to put glasses on, I will never buy it. People say its a small thing and you won't notice, but next thing you know, I'll be required to put on certain clothes or shoes to fully enjoy a film.

Beer: what if your drunk? Has that been tested? 3D while drunk :-)

Mac fanbois finally get Carakan of love with Opera 10.52

Hawking: Aliens are out there, likely to be Bad News

Defence

What if we just arm every flying object in space now with a couple nukes, go to the moon and mars and but some defenses out there too ... and wait. Once the aliens come into our solar system we'll hijack them, take there ships and use it against them (maybe uploading a mac virus or something).

We would the "bad part of the neighbourhood" of the milkyway.

I wouldn't mind seeing more money flowing into the space industry, not just for robotics but getting humans up there (incl the moon and mars).

Nice one!

Apple cops to defective MacBook drives

This shows again the need for a good backup system. How many times i've had to try to get some data back of a HD that very very important data.

So important data that they are stored on one HD and never bothered to put them on CD, DVD, ....

Tech angle?

German dentists develop 'painless' plasma tooth-blaster

If true

in 5 to 6 years then the people who invented it should get a nobel "pain free" price. They should get a statue too.

As a true man, i'm not scared of the dentist. But when i hear that noise the drill makes ... gives me the cold sweats already

CIA demands UK halts interrogation tactics

Happened to me too

I arrived at Heathrow and they asked me to see my mobile phone. I showed them and they started laughing and pointing saying "look at that guy, not even a iPhone".

Terrible, just terrible

US Army dalek assassins to pack mini-missiles?

Anti-robot?

Anti-tank rocket => better tank armour

Bigger anti-tank rocket => even better tank armour

So

What will it take to kill a robot like that? A standard bullet to the robotic eye? Or another robot? Two other robots? Or perhaps a virus that a terrorist uploaded using his Macbook Pro (keeping up with the times)
