This is what was in the details before I changed the password last week:
Mobile Algeria (41.103.164.236) Apr 14 (6 days ago)
Mobile Serbia (94.189.168.76) Apr 14 (6 days ago)
Mobile Saudi Arabia (77.64.47.176) Apr 9
Mobile United States (TX) (208.54.171.181) Apr 7
From people describing that they see Texas and Serbia activity. It sounds almost like it's all the same "entity"?
This happened to a gmail account that I use specifically just to auto-forward e-mails. I never log-in to it since all it does is forward, and it had a pretty secure password. I would imagine a spammer wouldn't just brute-force random accounts?
You might want to revisit that story. Somewhere a long the way, the Obama administration putting a stay on all pending cases (including wiretapping) somehow means he "supports" warrantless wiretapping. You might notice Obama has yet to get his Attorney General pick confirmed. So Obama has yet to actually support warrantless wiretapping. Whether he will or will not will be a story for another day.
I'm not entirely sure whether Obama will actually pursue this, but I notice a trend going on.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every time any idea is discussed, the press seems to make the assumption that the Obama administration is actually going to pursue it (and unmodified). Are they just not use to the idea of actual discussion about choices?
Google is a content provider after all, maybe they should start charging AT&T. People pay to connect to the internet for the content, not to say they can connect to the AT&T network.
This was what it came down to for me. I didn't quite agree with everything Obama was proposing, but it came down to the strive for knowledge. It seemed at every turn the Republicans seemed so proud of their own ignorance. Higher education made you an "elitist." Sure, McCain may not necessarily have been one of them, but he surrounded himself with them (Palin is a great example), and it is the people that make up your administration that really point the direction of the country.
In the past I would agree, but Symantec has really turned it around with their 2009 line. This is likely their first real overhaul in 7+ years, and they have come back with a vengeance. They finally fixed the two biggest annoyances of heavy resource use, and slow updates (pulse updates). Though I'm still an Avira, and Kaspersky guy, I can't recommend against Symantec any longer.
To tell you the truth, I think it is dependent on how willing the person is to learn new things. Here's what I found out with a small sample (probably not representative). I was tasked with rolling out Office 2007 as a trial to a group of 185 college students and ~70 faculty.
From our informal survey, approval over 2003 after initial 1 hour exposure: Students: 62.1%; Faculty: 42.8%. After 1 month, Students: 82.1%; Faculty: 54.3%. From the students and faculty that said they were not familiar with Office, the majority preferred 2007. And as expected, those who considered themselves experts, mostly preferred 2003.
I would say the Axiotron Modbook comes pretty close to what you are looking at, though I don't believe it has multitouch yet. (Yes, they are an Apple authorized system manufacturer).

Like the article mentioned, virtual account numbers are great for online purchases. It's one of the first features I look for. Citibank and Bank of America's virtual card services are both pretty nice, allowing you to set a spending limit for each number, as well as expiration dates. I believe Citibank also locks the number to the first merchant who charges to the virtual account.
Did it make it 10-fold worse? 100-fold? 1000-fold? Did they just not have enough files to find out what the limit for just the kernel leak without KAV is?
Which is why any AV worth its salt is adding virtual machine heuristics. Some like Kaspersky are even integrating HIPS in their pro-active detection module.
My SERO Plan:
$30/month
Unlimited data, EVDO rev. 0, rev. A when it is out. (I bought the HTC Mogul)
Unlimited text (promotion until 9/29, probably extended).
500 minutes, 7PM nights & weekends
Not to knock Clam but there is something odd about these results (Besides the absurdly low testbed). TFA says Clam won two years ago (which meant Untangle would use it), and again now. However, just last May the results from AV-Test.org (a real trusted legitimate source) against a comprehensive testbed put ClamAV near the bottom of the heap: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2135053,00.as p
I can't help but think that Untangle is trying to justify their own choice, rather than have a real test. With a testbed of only 25-35, it is possible to pick a group of malware that can put any AV on top. Even the user submitted malware is suspect, especially when that testset is also so low. ClamAV is great against virus outbreaks, with one of the fastest signature responses, but it has pretty atrocious trojan and zoo detection, since there is not enough man-power to collect and create signatures for less prevalent and non-replicating malware.

Placebo also has the most side effects of any drug on record.
With GOO, you are able to decouple your e-mail from the game and transfer ownership.
He most likely has both, as Obama has been seen using a blackberry while president: http://i.gizmodo.com/5144129/the-secrets-of-obamas-email
How about producing music people actually want to buy?

Looks like Sprint only has a launch exclusive, so you can be sure the Verizon and U.S. GSM iterations will soon follow a few months after.

I guess all the security companies are heading toward community based databases. Other similar products include
F-Secure Deepguard: http://www.f-secure.com/deepguard
Threatfire: http://www.threatfire.com/ (recently acquired by Symantec... so they are in the game now)
DriveSentry: http://www.drivesentry.com/

Which wouldn't be surprising, since all the graphic card manufacturer motherboards (XFX, eVGA, BFG, etc.) are usually rebranded Foxconn or Jetway.

Sadly? I think it's a great feature. Don't have to waste gas driving to the bank.
Also notice that the Zune is no longer heavily discounted. So I would guess the Zune may very well have been #1... when it was still on sale.

That's interesting you would list those features... since Sprint's SERO (google it, wealth of information on http://www.slickdeals.net/ http://www.fatwallet.com/ http://www.howardforums.com/ provides just that kind of cellphone service for those who sign-up with Sprint's not so secret discount plan.

Anandtech recently did that kind of power efficiency vs. performance test actually: (2.6Ghz vs. 2.33ghz), with AMD coming out on top: http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=3039
