Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Android's openness, combined with its popularity, has lead a few of the developer faithful astray -- with malware being a legitimate concern for the mobile operating system. To help combat the issue, Xuxian Jiang, an NC State researcher, has created the Android Malware Genome Project, which was presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security this week.

Share your drinking habits with a Guinness-activated QR cup
Like UnlikeThe usefulness of QR codes is still up in the air, but drinking a glass of Guinness is a ritual that has been around for hundreds of years. Winner of a John Caples International Marketing Award, advertising agency BBDO's cup reveals a QR code when filled with the Irish stout — lighter colored beverages need not apply as the darker tint is required for readability. Once the liquid is up to the brim, the code can be scanned to download exclusive Guinness content and promotions and even send notifications about your pint to Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare. The glasses were distributed in limited supply as part of a marketing campaign; widespread availability has yet to be announced.

Anonymous Hacks Department Of Justice! But Does It Really Matter?
Like UnlikeHere's the problem with breathlessly reporting on every purported Anonymous hack the second it happens: most of the time, the breaches don't turn out to be a big deal. Take yesterday for example; after a self-claimed Anonymous hacker posted a 1.7GB torrent containing server files from the "Bureau of Justice" on the Pirate Bay, early headlines blared variations of "OMG! ANON HAX DEPT. OF JUSTICE!" Unfortunately (fortunately?), that's only kinda true.
Reuters made some calls and found out that the hack only breached a single Bureau of Justice Statistics web server. You're probably wondering the same thing we were: what the heck is the Bureau of Justice Statistics? It's a relatively low-profile...
