The display looks fantastic with some impressive innards. Will surely get it on the first day of course. I gotta test my apps for the new resolution (wink wink).

However everything did not as planned as Steve had network issues during the keynote. (This reminded me of Bill Gates Windows 95 Demo when it crashed during the presentation with BSD). The supposed demo of NYT web page did not load and someone from the audience shouted “Verizon” lol. I totally agree.   AT&T has been weakest link of the whole iPhone/iPad deal. I bet there will be a huge exodus of members to Verizon as soon as AT&T loses their exclusivity.

The recent changes to the Data Plans by AT&T aren’t surely going to help. I do hope Verizon does not follow the footsteps of AT&T and get stingy on the data quota.

]]> http://vishwa.net/?feed=rss2&p=100 0 Social Networking Sites – New platform for viruses ? http://vishwa.net/?p=96 http://vishwa.net/?p=96#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:37:29 +0000 admin http://vishwa.net/?p=96 facebookvirusSince about a year or so, we have a phenomenal rise in the use of social networking platforms as Facebook and Twitter. From a teenager to a grandma, a huge percent of people have their account on Facebook.com and keep in touch with their friends and family members.
The recent attack of a new virus on Facebook accounts that sends an email message to the friends in the list with a link to some malicious site is what prompted me to write this article. Over the last few days I have received several messages from friends to visit a link on youtube (as the message title), but the link refers to some IP addresses. All those who have followed the link have successfully received the free gift of their account being hijacked or their computer got infected.
Over the last few years there has been a decrease in the amount of malware outbreak via email messages, thanks a lot to the sophisticated spam filters and anti virus tools. With the increase in popularity and adaptation of the social networking sites/tools along with their defense systems still in infancy, they have become a easy breading ground for viruses and malware.
I recommend people to not sign up any applications/scripts outside the core offering of Facebook or Twitter and not to follow the links from friends blindly.
Hope this initial hiccups would not cause these sites to crumble under their own weight.

Impressed by Chase Jarvis’s Best Camera iPhone app and book, I have decided to post an image taken from iPhone each day(hopefully).iPhone is a fantastic camera as it is always with you. I wrote an iPhone app just to do that. I know there are several wordpress apps available (not to forget the official iPhone app from wordpress), but I wanted an app that is focused and simple. So far so good :)
