The Danger Of Rogue Security Programs Posted By : Ms Mindy Matter
November 6th, 2010 |
No Comments
Rogue security programs come from the “shadier” side of the Internet and for the most part they are built to harass computer users. These programs act by simulating viruses and antivirus software simultaneously to give a computer user the impression that they have been infected by a virus or malware. The types of applications such known as rogue security programs have also been labeled “scareware” because they use ethical practices and show no concern for malicious actions taken by these applications which are all geared toward scaring the user into purchasing a solution to the problem that’s been caused by the software itself.

Secunia concludes that a mistaken belief that Microsoft and the operating system are the primary attack vectors has caused some organizations to let their guards down when it comes to security for third-party applications.

Villagers blast govt’s response to ‘danger lake’
May 21st, 2010 |

ALTIT (Reuters) – Hundreds of villagers shouting anti-government slogans in Hunza on Friday denounced the authorities’ failure to offer compensation to residents displaced by a lake created after a landslide.
Officials evacuated thousands of people this week amid fears the lake, formed after a landslide blocked the Hunza River on January 4, could burst and affect about 50,000 people downstream and sever a road serving as an important trade link with China.
Twenty people were killed in the landslide and subsequent flooding of several villages upstream displaced about 6,000 people and left another 25,000 stranded, according to officials and residents.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani visited Altit village on Friday, where about 1,300 displaced people had been housed, some 15 km east of the new lake.
But soon after Gilani left, some in the 400-strong crowd began shouting anti-government slogans, demanding immediate relief, witnesses said.
“The protesters were annoyed that the prime minister did not announce any relief package for them,” Raza Hamadani told Reuters by telephone. The protesters dispersed after officials, who accompanied Gilani, assured them the government would announce compensation and help them resettle.
Officials hope for a gradual erosion of the blockage once the water starts flowing sometime next week through a spillway created to drain the lake. But they have not ruled out a sudden breach that could lead to massive flooding.
A sudden flood would inundate 39 villages in the regions of Hunza and Gilgit, affecting about 13,000 people. Residents put the number at about 25,000 with a similar number affected further downstream.
The lake has also submerged a 22-km stretch of the Karakoram Highway, hampering trade between Pakistan and China.
Online adds: Assuring all support of the government to affected people of Hunza, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that incumbent democratic government would announce a relief package for the affected people.
Addressing the affectees of Attabad lake here on Friday, the Prime Minister assured the people that once the package is finalised, it would be implemented immediately.
The Prime Minister said that the government is estimating the damage, ocurred by land sliding in the area, adding that water discharge from spillway is expected to start in two to three days.
PM Gilani said that all development projects in the area would also be expedited, adding that the government is aware of problems being faced by the people of Hunza. The Prime Minister thanked all government organisations in helping out the people of Hunza. He said that the people of Hunza are passing through a tough time due to natural calamities but the government would take advantage of this situation and would convert all challenges into opportunities.
He said the reforms introduced by the government in Gilgit-Baltistan would change the fate of the region, adding that under Benazir Income Support Programme, all facilities would be provided to the area. He informed that Baitul Maal would be extended to areas of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Expressing his condolence with the affected people whose loved ones died in landsliding, the Prime Minister said that he wanted to visit the area earlier but the weather did not permit him. He said that the government needs the cooperation of the people of Hunza to deal with the situation. “I apologise for not being able to disperse funds to the area immediately. We planned to give funds to the people of the area so that a sense of deprivation does not arise,” he added. The Prime Minister also directed Federal Minister for Water and Power Raja Pervez Ashraf to solve electricity problems being faced by the people in the camps.
Earlier in a briefing, Gilani was informed that areas affected by Attabad lake of Gilgit and Hunza have been divided into nine zones.
Chief Secretary Gilgit-Baltistan in a briefing to the Prime Minister said that the government has one-month stocks of foods, medicines and other basic items for affected people. Gilani during visit to a camp inaugurated Benazir Langar and met the affectees. He asked them about problems being faced by them.
The Prime Minister, earlier reached Gilgit and was received by Governor Gilgit-Baltistan Dr Shahma Khalid and Chief Minister. Federal Minister for Information Qamar Zaman Kaira, Minister for Kashmir Affairs Mian Manzoor Wattoo and Interior Minister Rehman Malik accompanied the Prime Minister.
Nvidia Exec: Moore’s Law in Danger of Dying Out
May 3rd, 2010 |

Bill Dally, Nvidias chief scientist and vice president, says that Moores Law is in danger of dying out if the computer industry continues to follow the path of serial CPUs as outlined by Intel and AMD. The savior of Moores Law lies in parallel processing, and in particular GPUs, Daly says in a published column.
– For more than four decades, Moores Law has held true, thanks in large part to Intel first continuing to crank up the speed of its processors, and more recently by rapidly growing the number of processing cores on a single chip.
However, according to Bill Dally, Moores Law has reached its limit on t…

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DANGER MOUSE AND SPARKLEHORSE COLLABORATION OUT JULY 13
 Danger Mouse |
Dark Night Of The Soul is an album by audio auteur Danger Mouse and the already
much-missed Sparklehorse (who committed suicide on March 6). The record sees the pair joined by the following remarkable roll call of
guests: The Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys, Jason Lytle, Julian Casablancas, Black Francis, Iggy Pop, David Lynch,
James Mercer, Nina Persson, Suzanne Vega and Vic Chesnutt.
Rumours of this mysterious collaborative project began to circulate in early 2009 sparking widespread anticipation
and excitement. However, whilst Dark Night Of The Soul successfully manifested itself as both a limited
edition art book with enclosed blank CDR and an audio-visual gallery installation, its music was never officially made
available. Now, following months of talks, Danger Mouse and EMI are excited and proud to announce that Dark
Night Of The Soul will be released worldwide in July.
Whilst this beautiful, haunting record being made widely and legitimately available is undoubtedly a cause for
celebration, the news is shadowed by sadness following the recent passing of Mark Linkous, who released
and performed under the Sparklehorse pseudonym. Dark Night Of The Soul will now stand as a de facto
tribute to this well-loved, stunningly talented yet often-overlooked artist and has received the blessing of Mark’s
family who have issued the following statement: “Mark felt that it was an honor to be able to collaborate with so
many of the artists on this record. His time and dedication to this project was immense and his hopes for its release
are finally being realized. We are glad that people will now be able to hear these songs and know the beautiful gift
that Mark shared with all of us through his music.”
Danger Mouse adds: “I told Mark that we’d worked things out with EMI back in January and he was very happy that
the album was finally going to be released this year. Mark meant a great deal to a lot of people and I’m grateful to
have made music with him and to be a part of his legacy.”
Dark Night Of The Soul is also dedicated to the memory of Vic Chesnutt.
In addition to featuring on two songs, David Lynch has created a series of original photographs for Dark Night Of
The Soul adding a spectacular visual dimension that will be incorporated in to the artwork for this already
unparalleled project.
Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse’s Dark Night Of The Soul will be released on July 12 in the U.K. through
Parlophone/EMI and on July 13 in the U.S. via EMI’s Capitol Records.

The number of species in danger of extinction
MORE than a third of the 47,677 species of plant and animal surveyed this year by the International Union for Conservation of Nature were found to be at risk. The IUCN’s latest “Red List” includes 17,291 species in some degree of danger. This is an increase from 2008, although since more species are examined each year, more are found to be endangered. A further 875 species are considered extinct including 66 that are extinct in the wild. Habitat loss or a change in land use are frequently to blame. One of the six species categorised this year as being extinct in the wild is the Kihansi Spray Toad, which was last seen in its natural habitat in Tanzania in 2004. Nearly a third of all amphibians assessed by the IUCN are under threat, though that pales by comparison with the three-quarters of plant species found to be in danger.
