New Facebook Virus

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

There is a new Facebook Virus Alert. If you recieve any email that asks you to reset your password or open any attachment please delete the email without opening it.

According to the McAfee blog, “this threat is potentially very dangerous considering that there are over 400 million Facebook users who could fall for this scam. This is also the sixth most prevalent piece of malware targeting consumers in the last 24 hours, as tracked by McAfee Labs.”

Facebook would never send an email of this nature and “Dear user of facebook” in the first line is a good indication that this is a spam email. Delete the email completely.

Samsung Alias 2 Uses E-paper Keys

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

On yesterday’s Morning Show I mentioned the new version of Samsung’s Alias phone, appropriately named the Alias 2. This phone is significant because it uses so called “e-paper” or “e-ink” displays for each of the keys. This allows the keys to change what is printed on them depending on what you’re using the phone for at the time.

If you’re making a call, the phone will display the standard numeric 10-key layout found on the majority of phones. If you’re typing out a text message or e-mail, the keys will show up as the QWERTY layout we all know from our home computers. It even lets you cycle through sets of symbols.

Phone Scoop created a demonstration video showing off the Alias 2, check it out below. The keyboard’s fancy feats get shown off starting around 1:10 into the video.
