Vodafone Spain Admits That 3000 Smartphones Were Shipped With Virus
March 19, 2010
Looks like the recent issue of Vodafone’s HTC Magic shipping with the Conficker and Mariposa viruses might be more widespread than initially reported. Apparently Vodafone Spain has confirmed that some 3,000 users may have been exposed to the Mariposa malware, which made its way into users’ computers via the cell phone’s storage. Now the carrier is offering to replace the microSD cards for infected phones, while stressing that the incident is isolated and local. Getting a sort new phone shipped to you with a virus certainly isn’t pleasant, but whether your computer was infected by the virus, chances are that just getting a new memory card isn’t going to solve the issue, is it?

March 18, 2010
It seems that everything in that world is trying to sprout an iPhone dock, and now Italian furniture manufacturer Natuzzi has come up with the Surround, and the magic feature? You guessed it, an iPod dock with two speakers. that music-oriented sofa sports a high-quality leather finish as well as a custom order option to choose from a range of Natuzzi leather colors. Don’t suppose that will show up in Apple’s online store as an iPod accessory anytime soon.

Vodafone bears blame for shipping Mariposa botnet malware on HTC Magic
March 9, 2010
Vodafone has stepped up to the plate and taken full responsibility for shipping the HTC Magic that came pre-loaded with unwanted guests - specifically the Mariposa botnet malware as well as other nasties. that was due to the cellphone carrier's Spanish arm which supplied an HTC Magic smartphone that came with malware where it allows one to set up a backdoor for stealing info on connected computers all through the synchronization process. Vodafone claims that that is an isolated and local problem, so don't look at your HTC Magic in a funny way the next moment you sync.

All-USB Thin Client From Tritton
March 1, 2010
With more and more offices looking to implement thin-clients in the office to try and slash costs, Tritton wants to get in the game and offer something worthwhile too, and that looks like the Tritton All-USB Thin Client. The company is currently partnering with Microsoft to work some magic with Windows MultiPoint Server, and when you couple that with Tritton’s SEE2 USB video technology, it certainly looks like there is some good potential. whether implemented nicely, you’d only need a separate server to be maintained in the office, along with USB workstations, which could go as low as $100. With thin-clients become more common in small offices by the next few years? It’s hard to reduction such a possibility.
