Fake Netflix Android App Steals Your Data
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
In recent months, Netflix has added streaming support for multiple Android-based devices, but the lag time between updates created an opening for scammers, who created a fake app intended to steal your personal information.
"A gap in availability, combined with the large interest of users attempting to get the popular service running on their Android device, created the perfect cover for Android.Fakeneflic to exploit," Symantec's Irfan Asrar wrote in a blog post.
Asrar said the app is a "text book case of an information stealing Trojan that targets account information." It looks very similar to the legitimate Android Netflix app, and requests the same sort of data as the real app upon sign-i...

Intel Sues Over "Intel" Trademark Infringement
Like UnlikeFiled in: Intel
In its filing, Intel claims that Intelspec uses a "name and mark that wholly incorporates and emphasizes the world-famous Intel trademark." According to Intel, the result is confusion and assumptions that Intel may be the source or sponsor of the goods and services provided by Intelspec - or "that there is an association" between the two companies. Intel also claims that Intelspec dilutes the Intel trademark.
The chip maker is asking for a judgment that would, at Intel's discretion, cancel or transfer all rights to the intelspec.com domain name to Intel. Intel also wants a judgment that forces Intelspec to "cancel or modify" its corporate name, as well as a reward for damages and profits Int...

Dell 'very' in step with Windows 8, disappointed by Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftDellGoogleAndroidWindows 8
Dell's founder Michael Dell used his own Dell World conference as an unusual platform for talking down Android while putting faith in Windows 8. While he pledged loyalty to Microsoft and said the company was "very aligned" with it, he said Google's OS had "not developed to the expectations" Dell had. Steve Felice, president of the consumer division, tried to minimize the company's lack of success, claiming that the Streak tablets, Aero, and Venue phones were shipped in small numbers to "see customer reaction and behavior."
To support his view, the CEO went on to make the paradoxical claim that his company's primary business, hardware, wasn't important. Dell provides enterprise-grade service...

Cyanogenmod releases first Android for TouchPad edition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHPGoogleAndroid 3.0TouchPad
Cyanogenmod, the modding community working on a port of Android for the orphaned HP TouchPad, has released its first round of software for the tablet.
As you might expect with a name like "Lower your expectations", the Android Honeycomb software takes the form of a very early, reasonably bug-ridden build that means its not really ideal for regular users.
Still, there will be some brave types among you (probably the ones who got their TouchPad for £90) that won't be put off.

Dennis Ritchie, pioneer of C programming language and Unix, reported dead at age 70
Like UnlikeWe're getting reports today that Dennis Ritchie, the man who created the C programming language and spearheaded the development of Unix, has died at the age of 70. The sad news was first reported by Rob Pike, a Google engineer and former colleague of Ritchie's, who confirmed via Google+ that the computer scientist passed away over the weekend, after a long battle with an unspecified illness. Ritchie's illustrious career began in 1967, when he joined Bell Labs just one year before receiving a PhD in physics from Harvard University. It didn't take long, however, for the Bronxville, NY native to have a major impact upon computer science. In 1969, he helped develop the Unix operating system alon...

RIM says all BlackBerry services have been restored
Like UnlikeFiled in: RIM BlackBerry
During another press call this morning to address the worldwide BlackBerry service outage, RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis announced that all BlackBerry services have been restored across the world, including internet, email, and BlackBerry Messenger. He reiterated the company's earlier statements that a hardware failure in Europe is what caused the outage, and that failure caused a backup in the system, creating service problems for users in other parts of the world. RIM pointed out that its services have had 99.97 percent uptime over the past 18 months, though that fact is probably not all that comforting to the users who have experienced outages for nearly four days.
