EXCLUSIVE: New security flaw in IE
A new flaw in Internet Explorer could be exploited to launch spoof-based attacks, or access and change data on vulnerable PCs, security experts have warned.
The problem lies in the way Microsoft has implemented a JavaScript component in its Web browser, security researcher Amit Klein wrote in a research document. Internet Explorer does not validate some data fields provided by a PC when the component, called XmlHttpRequest, is used, he wrote.

12.1.2006 Another security hole found in IE
Secunia published an advisory on Tuesday stating that an error could be exploited to fake the address bar in a browser window. This tactic could be used in phishing scams that attempt to trick people into believing they are on a legitimate site, when in fact they are viewing a fraudulent Web page. Phishing is a prevalent type of online scam that seeks to pilfer personal information from unsuspecting Internet users. The scams typically combine spam e-mail with fraudulent Web sites that appear to come from a trusted source, such as a credit card company or a bank.

24.4.2009 Windows Vista's new security features
Microsoft's new operating system won't be out until late 2006, but here's a look at some of the new security features expected.
It seems that every time I sit down with Microsoft to discuss Windows Vista, something has been changed or added, which is good. In some cases, something has been removed, which is bad. One and a half years from launch, I understand that beta code changes frequently. Here's my standard disclaimer: the following article is based on the last build from Microsoft, Windows Vista build 5219, released September 2005.

In the market for a new wireless keyboard and mouse, looking to upgrade from my Microsoft Digital Pro Keyboard, I took a lot at Microsoft's

that Microsoft got it right after mixed reviews on previous keyboard / mouse combos. The Keyboard: The keyboard has the Comfort Curve design
keyboard that has a slight bend in the keys to make the feel of typing more comfortable to the user. The keyboard has a small 6 degree bend in the
design to help improve typing from the average angle of a users shoulder to keyboard.

18.10.2005iTech Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard Review
For years now I've been using the same keyboard at home, a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard. It's not a bad board, thought it has
seen better days. While looking around for a replacement I came across what appears to be the Keyboard of the Future! Not only is it small, compact
and connects via Bluetooth, but it has no physical keys! This "keyboard" is actually a laser projection that will display a "virtual" keyboard on
any flat surface.
The "geek" part of me instantly decided this would be the best keyboard ever, but the logical part of me had some
hesitations. How well would it work? Would it be able to handle a very fast typing speed with accuracy? Would it be comfortable to use? Well, thanks
to our good friends at
ThinkGeek, I was able to get a hold of one of these devices to try
out and give you all a taste of what it's like to live in the future of computing.

Microsoft has ever created. The Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 combines a mouse, keyboard and a new charging "dock". The dock allows you to
charge both the mouse and keyboard...wirelessly. You simply slip the keyboard under the charging port and it's charging, stick the mouse on top
and that's charging too. It was this sole reason I was interested in this combo combined with the fact it has a backlit keyboard. Lets take a

12.08.2009Dude, someone hacked my keyboard
Swiss researchers have demonstrated keystrokes can be recorded wirelessly from wired keyboards by analysing the electromagnetic signals produced by
every key press.
Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini, researchers from the Lausanne Security and Cryptography Laboratory,
published a report detailing their findings. The pair tested 11 common keyboards
manufactured from 2001-2008 which were all vulnerable to at least one of their 4 attacks.
The researchers used a radio antenna to "fully
or partially recover keystrokes" by spotting the electromagnetic radiation emitted when keys were pressed.
2 videos have been posted by the researchers that demonstrate the technique
involved.
The pair concluded that wired computer keyboards sold in stores "are not safe to transmit sensitive information".

01.10.2009Possibly Steep Learning Curve for iPhone Texting
According to Chicago-based
usability consultancy User
Centric, users new to Apple's
much vaunted iPhone, but who
have previous texting
experience, may have
difficulty adjusting to the
phone's texting style, with
its touchscreen described as
"potentially problematic"
for sending text messages.
User Centric tested the
iPhone's SMS features with
frequent texters, individuals
who send at least 15 messages
per week, to see how rapidly
they could adapt to the
iPhone's touch keyboard; all
texters either owned a phone
with a full Qwerty keyboard or
a numeric keyboard and had no
previous experience with the
iPhone. As part of the test,
each participant typed six
fixed-length text messages on
their own phone and six on an
iPhone; the results revealed
that Qwerty-keyboard users
took almost twice as long to
compose messages on Apple's
offering as compared to their
own phone, with the difference
in time persisting for as long
as 30 minutes. " For Qwerty
users, texting was fast and
accurate. But when they
switched to the iPhone, they
were frustrated with the touch
sensitive keyboard, " said
Jen Allen, a usability
specialist at User Centric.
