Online scams exploiting the Haitian earthquake, including spam e-mail messages soliciting for donations, have been identified by security company Symantec Corp.

Any money sent according to the instructions in the scam e-mail messages will not help anyone in Haiti, it will end up in the pockets of cybercriminals.

Symantec advises those who want to make donations online to avoid clicking on links in e-mail or Instant Messaging messages because these could lead to spoofed websites.

The security experts suggest typing the web address of the charity organisation directly into your browser rather than clicking on links within messages.

Also, Symantec advises the public to never fill out forms in messages that ask for personal or financial information, or passwords, because a reputable charitable organisation is unlikely to ask for such data via e-mail.

Vodafone UK

Yesterday I post about the  O2 UK would soon lose exclusivity on Apple’s iPhone but guess what the vodafone UK also carries the iPhone in UK. Apple and Vodafone have reached and agreement through which both the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS will become available for purchase in the UK and Ireland in early 2010 on Vodafone’s airwaves. another carrier in the country announced yesterday that the iPhone would soon become available for its users, namely Orange UK. The same as Orange, Vodafone has put in place. The only carrier that hasn’t announced the future inclusion of Apple’s handset in its offering is T-Mobile, although the carrier stated previously that it would sell the iPhone even if that meant bringing it to the UK market from outside the country and losing money in the process. However, due to the expected merger between Orange and T-Mobile, the availability of the iPhone with one of the carriers implies its presence in the other one’s offering as well. O2 has been rumored to lose its exclusivity deal on the iPhone for quite some time now, yet nothing official emerged until Monday. One other carrier that might soon see its marriage to the iPhone come to an end is US-based AT&T.

hey guys guess what the old UMD cannot be used in the new PSP go. John Koller stated that “We’re in the midst of putting together a good will program,” it seems that Sony might go back on its word. It appears that users won’t be able to rip their UMDs into digital back-ups like people originally believed (the high risk of piracy is definitely something to fear especially since Sony is known for being very careful with money); however, there might be a workaround that Sony will offer the eager public.According to Kotaku, a spokesman from Sony Computer Entertainment of America made it clear that “We were evaluating a UMD conversion program, but due to legal and technical reasons we will not be offering the program at this time. We are looking into programs for owners who have previously purchased UMD titles and want to exchange them for digital versions.” If you want to play your game in the new PSP you must trade your old UMD to Sony with a digital copy… and i got a question for Sony what happen to my old PSP sell it??? hmmmm

Hi readers watch out for this facebook scammers  it will just take your money… Acording to what i have read on an article a Russian-owned website that offers to hack any Facebook account for $100. The website is registered to a Moscow address, being offered with English content to appeal to a broader audience. The website requires registration and authentication before letting a user employ its service. After loging in on the website, they are asked to enter a Facebook id, which is cracked to display the victim’s username and real name, just to have a grip on the user’s trust. For finding out the victim’s password, the user has to push a “Start Facebook hacking!” button. After politely asking them to wait for a couple of minutes, the service proudly answers that it was able to hack the account, but hides the resulted details to enforce the user to pay first.

Am I dreaming??? this is the new iphone 4G concept. The design is inspired in the MacBook Air and it would probably offer us everything we’re missing in current iPhone models. In the picture here the iPhone 4G is engaged in videochat while Google is quietly displaying the GPS location of your friends. Naturally this iPhone has a front camera, a better processor and it knows how to multitask.

The kids are the love of our lives and quite obviously if would be an ingenious idea if children could tell us when they are ill. What is interesting is that Chris Ebejer aged 42 seems to have known about how make our dreams materialize with his novel concept of baby suit he designed for us. Dubbed Babyglows, this smart innovation appears to be a color changing suit to let us know that the children are getting too hot.

Our Earth and Technology’s Damage
by Ronnee Ruselle

When you hear people say that we are part of the ‘whole’ or part of the ‘universe’ or nature or whatever, they are speaking of how we, as a soul fit into nature. Our place as a spirit or a body of energy is part of one large body of energy that we call nature. If we took away the physical ‘meat’ around our body then we would be energy and we would still survive. Our long term body is not the physical one we see. It’s the soul within.
