Macs under attack by high-risk spyware | Malware. June 01, 2010 Follow @tsamson_IW All those employees at Google who reportedly feel a whole lot safer running Mac OS X instead of Windows might want to sit down for this: Security company Intego today announced that a high-risk spyware application called OSX/OpinionSpy is spreading via "a number of freely distributed Mac applications and screen savers found on a variety of Web sites.
" Under the guise of a "market research program," the spyware -- a variant of malware that's existed for Windows since 2008 -- is designed to collect a wealth of data on accessible local and network volumes, then send it off to its servers for likely unsavory uses. That data, according to Intego, may include user names, passwords, credit card numbers, Web browser bookmarks, and history. M.I.A.’s Agitprop Pop. Although her publicist had a wheelchair ready and a midwife on call, Maya, who has a deep and instinctive affinity for the provocative, knew that this Grammy moment was not to be missed. It had everything: artistic credibility, high drama, a massive audience. The baby would just have to wait. The combination of being nearly naked, hugely pregnant, singing incendiary lyrics and having the eyes of the world upon her was too much to resist.
And she was riveting, upstaging the four much more famous guys and dominating the stage. “That’s gangsta,” said , one of the show’s presenters. Three days later, her son, Ikhyd (pronounced I-kid) Edgar Arular Bronfman, was born. As it happened, Maya, who is 34, gave birth in a private room in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. “We went to the Grammys, we had the baby and we bought the house,” Maya said as she studied the menu, deciding on a glass of wine and French fries.

Facebook officially unveiled its new Open Graph API and tools a few weeks ago, making it possible for developers and end users to easily hook their own sites into Facebook's broader ecosystem. In just the first week, Facebook's social plugins were integrated into more than 50,000 websites. We expect that number will continue to increase at a rapid rate, especially as businesses and e-commerce sites figure out how to best harness the power of Open Graph.Although Facebook has ample documentation to help you implement the "Like" buttons onto your own website or blog, it's still easier on some platforms than it is on others.
Option One: Edit Your Theme Files As we will discuss later in the article, there are already dozens of Facebook Like plugins for WordPress available on the web and in the official WordPress.org Plugin Repository. Why would you want to do this? Apple is now Nintendo’s biggest problem. The last time Nintendo took a big hit in profit, it resulted in the development of perhaps the most successful video game console of all time in the Wii. What’s Nintendo’s response going to be this time around? Yes, the big N has seen its profits drop from $3.03 billion to $2.48 billion—still a fair a bit of money perhaps to you and me, but cause for panic in the house that Mario built. While a traditional rival, Sony (with the PlayStation), was responsible for the previous rough patch, this time it’s Apple.
Will Nintendo allow the iPhone to push it around? Not likely. Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata, the man who essentially willed the company to success in the past several years—he was more or less responsible for the Wii—has told his sergeants to treat Apple as the company’s most significant threat from here on out. That honor used to belong to Sony, but Sony is so last generation, especially when focusing on mobile gaming. There’s a lot going on here. Flickr’d.
