2009 July 01 MODIS Image of the Day ==> 1912 June 23 in 1912. A cryptanalyst during WWII, Turing was based at Bletchley Park, where he devised a machine that decoded enemy transmissions and helped to break the Enigma machine. Before the war he had postulated a universal mathematical machine, now called the Turing machine, which became a prototype for the electronic computer. His Turing test worked to determine whether a computer is capable of humanlike thought, igniting discussion on artificial intelligence. In 1945, Turing was awarded an OBE for his work at Bletchley Park, even though the work itself remained secret for many years.

Conficker -- still in the “wild” Last week the latest variant of the Conficker worm surfaced -- and just to prove it, the worm infected at least 700 computers at the University of Utah. According to school officials, two main systems are affected by the infection: the university's three hospitals, but also its adjoined medical, nursing, and pharmacy colleges. Warning: Conficker is aimed at Windows users. But Mac's can pass it on thru email. |

SO ==>
The Conficker Working group has created a web page that uses knowledge about conficker blacklisting to allow you to easily determine if your computer has been infected. + All you need to do is navigate to the website ==> If you can see all six images in the eye chart, the computer that you are browsing from is likely not to be infected (your results may vary if you are using a proxy). If the page doesn't load at all, the site has too much traffic. [or try entering: http://149.20.56.65 into your browser] If you are infected, you'll just be missing specific images in the "eye chart". IF YOU ARE INFECTED, THEN THERE ARE SEVERAL CURES: F-Secure has made a free tool available here ==> http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001636.html The link to the tool is at the bottom of the FAQ page. PRoComputing uses ==> McAfee’s stand-alone Avert Stinger utility and Microsoft has a Malicious Software Removal tool at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962007 60-Minutes segment on Sunday [29 March]==>http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=3036“. . . on April 1st, infected machines will start calling home to the authors for further instructions. However, as Joe Stewart explains, this does not mean there will be a computer meltdown on April 1.” Start | Control Panel | System |

Chromium is an open-source browser project that provides a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. Google's browser Chrome, is built from the Chromium source code, so Chromium has many of the features that make Google Chrome so great, separate processes for each window, the omnibar, the Task Manager, & incognito browsing but none of the hassles like Google's Update Utility or an EULA. [PRo: Much more robust than Google's "son of Chromium"] |

James Chong, Bob Lee and Albert Loh saw a market opportunity and they pounced on it. Close to a year ago, when eBay's core auction business was showing signs of weakness, Chong, Lee and Loh (all former Charles Schwab execs) were plotting a new commerce site that would rival eBay. They talked to hoards of eBay users, and today they've launched their baby: Wigix (the "Want It, Got It Exchange"). Wigix aims to be everything that eBay is not. Although it's ostensibly a commerce site, the fee structure and rating system stray from eBay conventions. For one thing: Wigix doesn't charge a fee for anything sold for less than $25; and it charges a flat fee of $1.50 The Oakland-based company has raised "significant" funding from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, a VC firm that, incidentally, backed Skype, which was sold off to eBay. |

Spyware is the new thing many companies have adapted, which reports information back to the companies, as well as possibly providing an additional income source for the companies by displaying something such as a pop-up ad on your computer. This is a very large deciding factor in program version choice, because many people are beginning to catch on to these detrimental business practices. Whatever the reason is for wanting an old version, we're here to help!” |
