virus called OSX.Trojan.iServices.A. This virus does the nasty work of installing itself in the startup as root. It then goes on and broadcasts its
location and allows for malicious users to take over your Mac and install anything they want and modify files already on your computer.

08.08.2007iLife '09 and iWork '09 Released
Today, at Apple’s final appearance at MacWorld, the popular software applications iLife ‘09 and iWork ‘09 were both updated.
iWork ’09,
which comes with Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, had many very useful features added. Pages received a decent amount of updates, with a full screen view
of documents, dynamic outlines, integration with MathType and EndNote, and 40 new themes included. In Keynote, there are several new transitions and
chart options. Apple released a new keynote remote app for the iPhone/iPod Touch that will allow you to control and preview your slide show. The app
however is not free surprisingly and will cost $0.99. Numbers got 250 new functions to make things easier to understand. Most notable however is the
future launch of iWork.com. This will be a fee-based service that will allow others to review and edit your documents online.
iLife ’09,
including iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, and GarageBand, also had its fare share of updates today. This version of iLife will only run on Mac OS X Leopard.
iMovie had received dynamic themes, automatic image stabilization, precision editor, advanced drag and drop, and video effects. In iPhoto, faces
(facial recognition), places (using GPS locations to tag areas in photos), and slideshow themes (using facial dedication to property position pictures
in a slide show) were all added. Finally, in GarageBand, music lessons by professionals and celebrities were added. A few are included, but additional
lessons cost $4.99 each to download.
iLife ‘09, iWork ‘09, and OS X Leopard are all available in the Mac Box Set costing $169.00.
Individually, iLife and iWork cost $79.00 each for a single user license and $99.00 each for a family license, which allows you to install to program
on up to five Mac computers in your household. Apple computers purchased between January 6, 2009 and March 28, 2009 that do not include iLife ’09 can
be upgraded for $9.95 through Apple. All software titles are expected to be shipping in late January.

Apple says iWork is compatible with Microsoft Office. But what does that really mean and is it true?
It's true that you can move
documents between iWork and Office. But when you do, they may look or function differently than they did in their parent programs. In Macworlds recent
feature comparing Word and Pages, Excel and Numbers, and PowerPoint and Keynote , we discussed the differences in features between those programs. But
(as several readers pointed out in comments to those stories), we didn't cover the file-compatibility or interoperability issues that arise when
you're trying to move documents from one suite to another. That's what I'd like to do here.

04.01.2009The Pirate Bay trial, '80% of our torrents are legal'
The ongoing trial for The Pirate Bay is attracting international attention over the court case that could change the internet forever. Neowin has
been keeping up with the trial and the latest argument from TPB ( The Pirate Bay) is that "
n internal survey revealed that 80% of 1000 torrents
observed are, in fact, legal". Sunde, the spokes person for TPB, went on to argue that there is more copyrighted material on YouTube than on TPB.
The prosecutors are also trying to establish that a hierarchy does exist at TPB but appear to be failing at solidifying their case. "Someone must
ultimately decide whether to put up a certain text or graphic," asked Roswall. "No," Neij replied. "Why?

01.02.2009RIAA awarded $80,000 for each file-shared song
In her second, but almost certainly not final, trial, Jammie Thomas-Rasset (née Thomas) has now been ordered by a federal jury to pay $1.92
million to the RIAA for the 24 songs she is charged with sharing online. That comes out to $80,000 per track, considerably more than the
$208.33 per track the RIAA, according to their legal summation at trial, had offered to let her off with in their original "pay or we sue"
letter. According to Wired, Thomas-Rasset (then simply Thomas) was ordered in her first trial to pay $222,000 (or $9,250 per song) by that
trial's jury, but then a mistrial had been declared.

19.06.2009Update: "Vista Capable" trial
The ongoing "Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit against Microsoft took an interesting turn the other day when an expert witness for the plaintiffs
claimed that the Redmond company made more than $1.5 billion through their "Vista Capable" marketing campaign. The origins of the trial itself
are to be found in the months prior to Vista's release when many computers were sold with Windows XP and the promise that they would be capable of
running Vista. However, many of these PCs, which sold at a premium and bore the "Vista Capable" label, turned out to be only capable of running
Vista Basic. Hence, Microsoft is being sued for what many would call false advertising.

06.01.2009Official Way to Use Vista without Activation 120 Days
Official Way to Install and
Use Windows Vista without
Activation for Free for 120
Days
By default,
Windows Vista can be
installed, used and run
without any license, product
key or the need of activation
for 30 days grace period, for
purpose of trial or
evaluation. Although Microsoft
initially stressed that users
should purchase a license with
valid product key before the
trial period expires, or else
Windows Vista will lock into
Reduced Functionality Mode.
However, a "rearm" method
has long since been discovered
to be able to extend, or reset
the remaining time for
activation to another fresh 30
days, for up to 3 times.
Now Microsoft has
confirmed that Windows Vista
can be used and run for 120
days or 4 months ( 3
rearms ), and extending the
activation grace period is not
a violation of the Vista End
User License Agreement (EULA).
All versions of Vista include
Windows Vista Ultimate allow a
30-day free period without
activation, except the
corporate-oriented Vista
Enterprise, which supports
only a three-day trial.

22.02.2007YouTube to trial pre-video ads
YouTube is to run a trial of "pre-roll" video ads on selected content from several broadcasters starting from today. The pre-roll ads are short
video ads shown before the video you requested and could be up to 30 seconds long. Advertisements will start appearing around videos from BBC
Worldwide, ITN, Discovery, National Geographic and - from today - Channel 4. The idea for this form of advertising was first discussed over 2 years
ago, back in 2007, so it has taken a while for the plans to come to fruition. These ads will be sold on a CPM (cost per mille) basis where the
advertiser pays a certain price for every one thousand views of an ad.

These trial guides provide step by step directions for experiencing application virtualization. Two different types of trial guides are available
based upon the aspects of Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 you would like to review:
- The standalone trial guide will walk
you through the creation of a virtualized application and execution of the application on the client without the need to setup any infrastructure.
This is the simplest trial of Microsoft Application Virtualization.
- The full trial guide walks the user through the same application
virtualization capabilities as the standalone guide; however it also includes the steps to setup the publishing and streaming infrastructure options
as well.
Once you have completed the setup steps from either guide, you will be able to test the benefits of Microsoft Application
Virtualization in your own environment.

29.02.2008The Pirate Bay trial, evidence on shaky ground
With the trial winding down to the wire, possibly at the end of this week, more evidence against The Pirate Bay comes into play, but is on shaky
ground of being anything from evidence against them. A lawyer from IFPI, Magnus Mårtensson took the stand with evidence including screen shots
with progressive downloading from The Pirate Bay. The screen shots were of the IFPI downloading a variety of material to help build up their case.
The IFPI downloaded several games and movies using the popular uTorrent. The IFPI's lawyer's technical ability was called into question and
found it difficult to answer some technical questions.
