National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA in Jun 09, launched a lunar satellite into orbit, which was to fire a rocket booster at 5,600 MPH velocity into a Moon crater near the Southern Pole of the moon, to cause a six-mile-high explosion with the hope to find water on the Moon. NASA scientists were eager to see LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite) launching a Centaur rocket into the moon to cause a big blast in the crater. The massive explosion kick up 350 metric tons of debris, letting the trailing satellite cameras analyze the mess for signs of water. Scientists scouring the surface of Earth's satellite to search for a precious resource called “Water”. The satellite due some reasons could not be scheduled to reach the moon until October 8.

It’s been only a week since Motorola launched its top of the line Droid phone on Verizon in United States. This new generation of CDMA mobile has quickly gained a higher popularity graph, and was well received against the HTC Droid Eris also launched on the same day. Simultaneous launch of the two Droid phones by Verizon on same day wasn’t really a coincidence, but done intentionally to attract different type of audiences.
With its large size 4.3-inches multi-touch screen, 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor and other amazing specs, HTC HD2, atleast in terms of hardware power has already bulldozed its contemporaries devices and is by now surely a big powerhouse in cellular world. We had tried to keep our readers updated during the entire course of its development phase through our various posts. Just to refresh your memory, HTC HD2 is powered by Microsoft’s newly released Windows Mobile 6.5 and is the first Windows phone to feature multi-touch support through HTC Sense (aka HTC TouchFLO 3D 2.5).
In continuation from our last post, here is yet another development which took place in the last few days when some jailbroken iPhone users found their home screen background a little different than it was last seen by them. If your jailbroken iPhone has changed its background automatically to that of Rick Astley (some 80's singer) with the words "ikee is never going to give you up", then you are most likely a victim of ikee virus which infects iPhone’s via SSH. The virus in question has originated from Australia by a hacker named Ikee and it is now quickly spreading to other parts of the world. If you have been affected, luckily there is no harm done as this virus was more of an experiment than anything else.
A Dutch hacker recently threatened all jailbroken iPhone users with a proof of concept showing that their phones stand vulnerable to high risk and are absolutely unsafe after being jailbroken. He made use of port scanning method to find jailbroken iPhones in his country Netherlands running with SSH. He then sent unaware and totally off guard users a SMS message which read: "Your iPhone's been hacked because it's really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files.". The screen is question can be seen in the screenshot below.
Now that Windows 7 has been released for all the consumers worldwide, I thought this was the right time to list down our top recommended antivirus plus antispyware solutions which are compatible with this latest version of Windows. Windows as we all know is by far the most widely used platform out there, unfortunately because of which it is prone to virus and spyware attacks. To stay free from viruses, it is imperative to have the right antivirus solution installed which is both effective and light on system resources. Among various free antivirus solutions that are floating around the web, let's take a look at some of the best free antivirus options that are available for Windows 7 systems.
Apple Store was down a while ago as it was preparing to launch the new Mac product lineup, just in time for the 2009 holiday season. Everyone was anxiously waiting and rightly so, to see what Apple has got up its sleeve for this fall. Now the cat is finally out of the bag! Apple has updated its Mac lineup by introducing the much anticipated new 21 & and 27 inches iMac’s with full HD (2560 x 1440) 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, "mightier" Mac Mini’s with more memory and faster processor, newly designed MacBooks line and the revolutionary new Magic Mouse with multitouch technology.
HTC HD2 is probably the most awaited Windows phone of this fall! The two major features which gives it an edge over its contemporary popular iPhone 3GS is the high resolution 4.3 inch 800 x 480 capacitive display, and a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash. From all the video demos that we have seen so far, it looks like HTC has finally got a killer phone which is going to prove itself equal, if not better to iPhone 3GS.
HTC has finally, in an official announcement unveiled its long awaited high-end mobile device called HTC HD2 which was previously codenamed as Leo. HTC HD2 is powered by Microsoft's newly released Windows Mobile 6.5 and will be the first Windows phone to feature multi-touch support through HTC Sense (aka HTC TouchFLO 3D 2.5) which up till now was only available on the company's Android-based handsets like HTC Hero.
Multi-touch functionality has been continuously attracting consumers attention for the last two years or so. We are now not too far from the day when multi-touch-capable tablets and desktops will become a standard part of our daily lives. The PC market is preparing for this paradigm shift, as Microsoft ships the much-awaited Windows 7 to the masses on October 22nd. Among many of its attractive features, the ability to use two (or more) fingers as input mechanism (multi-touch) in my opinion stands out for re-coursing the shape of personal computing in the near future.
