Security risks mean IE6 must go

Determined to see the end of IE6, Microsoft is pouring resources into awareness campaigns as part of efforts to educate and encourage online citizens, particularly those in Asia, to ditch the 10-year-old Web browser or risk exposure to security attacks.

Redmond this week launched its latest and much-hyped Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), which plays a key role in Microsoft's plan to regain browser dominance.

Android Market Security

On Tuesday evening, the Android team was made aware of a number of malicious applications published to Android Market.

For affected devices, we believe that the only information the attacker(s) were able to gather was device-specific (IMEI/IMSI, unique codes which are used to identify mobile devices, and the version of Android running on your device).

Apple iPad 2: a first look

 

The second-generation iPad from Apple, iPad 2, is thinner, faster, lighter and whiter, but not a radical departure from the original. Pricing (only US pricing has been announced so far) is also holding steady, starting at $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi-only model, rising to $829 for 64GB with 3G and Wi-Fi.

The Possible Consequences Of Voip Misuse

As in everything else in life, the fast-evolving VoIP technology brings about both opportunities and challenges that users must face in equal measure. Most of the opportunities that can be gained from VoIP are well-discussed, as these relate mostly to improvements in business processes that lead to minimized telephone expenses, heightened productivity and ultimately, increased income.

On the other side of the coin are challenges and windows for abuse in VoIP systems that could get one in real trouble. These matters are less talked about, often because most people are not aware of these things. Those who are familiar also generally avoid discussing these, as they don't want to unduly raise alarms and make people wary of VoIP. Among these issues are:

Free VoIP
First, VoIP is usually not free. Free VoIP service is available if both the caller and receiver are calling via the Internet using SIP, XMPP or a third party application like Skype.
