Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 is launched. Version 3.5 has not much different from version 3 from the interface, mostly are internal enhancements.
One new feature is, now Firefox can support open video format, with the HTML tag <video>. However in it’s not XHTML compatible yet, so the video embedded with <video> tag couldn’t be shown in other browsers (yet).
Swine flu is on everyone’s mind for the past couple of days now. It is important that you and your family and loved ones stay informed and up to date on the current situation affecting our global health. This will brief us few tips on how to prevent getting infected with the H1N1 swine flu.
Step 1: Avoid at all costs traveling to any known parts of the world that are infected. Although this is very basic you must know that there are strands of the disease that are airborne and just being in the immediate presence of the flu can infect you.
Step 2: Cleanliness is going to be your new motto until this whole mess passes by. Washing your hands in hot water for more then 20 seconds will kill some of the germs that could potentially be passed from person to person. Another method of washing your hands with alcohol based sanitizer is known to kill a high percentage of germs that we carry as well. It is important that we all do our best to cover the basics during this time.
Step 3: Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, nose, or any open wounds. This will only heighten your chances of the flu entering your body. If you do HAVE to remove something from your eye or get that cliff hanger (boogie eww) make sure to wash your hands!
There are only two things in life to worry about:
Whether you are well or whether you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick,
there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to get well or whether you are going to die.
If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you die,
there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are going to go to heaven or whether you are going to go to hell.
If you go to heaven, then you have nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell,
you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,
that you won’t have time to worry!
So, Why Worry? Be Happy
Be careful who you give your mobile phone number out to. An attacker with the right toolkits and skill could hijack your phone remotely just by sending SMS messages to it, according to mobile security firm Trust Digital.
In what it calls a "Midnight Raid Attack" because it would be most effective when a victim is asleep, an attacker could send a text message to a phone that would automatically start up a Web browser and direct the phone to a malicious Web site, said Dan Dearing, vice president of marketing at Trust Digital. The Web site could then download an executable file on the mobile phone that steals data off the phone, he said.
Dearing demonstrates how this can be done in a video on YouTube.
In another type of attack, an attacker could hijack a phone by sending a type of SMS message called a control message over the GSM network to a victim's phone that is using a Wi-Fi network and then use special toolkits to sniff the Wifi traffic looking for the victim's e-mail log-in information. This attack is explained in another YouTube video.
While the attacks at this point are proof-of-concepts, they could be done if someone has the requisite knowledge and toolkits, said Dearing. Trust Digital recently announced software called EMM 8.0 that can help organizations protect employee phones from these types of attacks, he said.
"This is a completely real threat," said Philippe Winthrop, a director in the global wireless practice at Strategy Analytics. "We will see these attacks. It's a matter of time."
