Malware Infection, Now The Hit Goes To Photo Frames

It's in news that Malicious software code has turned up on a wide range of popular electronics. It ranges from digital photo frames to compact flash cards to MP3 players - even MP3-playing sunglasses. The interesting thing is that nobody knows how widespread the infections are. Best Buy said it received about two dozen complaints this week after it posted notices on the Web that it sold some infected photo frames over the holidays under its Insignia brand. The frames were infected during manufacturing. One line, the 10.4-inch frame, has been discontinued.

And I'll Fly One Day!

The heavy traffic on roads while going to office in the morning and coming back from there in the evening really makes me more tired. I sometime think if I could have a jet pack with which I can say good bye to that damn traffic. I've been searching for this thing, though it's not possible for me to make one, and if any engineer happens to make one, I'll probably not be able to afford it, (keeping in mind that most of the innovations are very expensive at their initial stages). SO the only thing I can do is to think about it!

Well, thinking is not bad, as it's the base of any development. Ok, let me think now, and you see how will you people fly when my dream jetpack will be in function!

Apple TV Take 2

It's now time for "Apple TV take two" - no computer is required. You can rent movies directly on your widescreen TV and you can rent them at DVD quality or you can rent then at high definition quality."

Apple says that at $229 (£116) of cost, the system hooks into the company's plans to offer films to rent over the internet through its iTunes store, also confirmed yesterday. The company further said that it would join film studios including 20th Century Fox and Sony to allow iTunes users to stream movies direct to their computer or TV for a one-off payment of between $3 and $5. And the system will have 1,000 new titles and back catalogue films available by the end of February.

Similar is the concept of BBC's iPlayer and Channel 4's on-demand service, Apple's systems will make downloads usable on iPods and iPhones as well as television sets.

Let's see what more will be there, see the pic now!
