As the April 1 payload delivery date nears for W32.Downadup.C (aka Conficker) speculation continues on whether the payload will be one big April Fool’s joke, or the equivalent of a cyber Pearl Harbor. While we can’t predict the future with certainty, we can look at the motivations of past Downadup variants to postulate that the payload will likely be something between the two extremes.
According to the Security Response blog post, if Read more…

This story was quite fascinating to me, although the find of Atlantis on Google Ocean turned out to be not so.

The economy continues to be the focus in spammers’ unique version of an economic stimulus plan in March 2009. With the worsening economic situation, unemployment figures have risen worldwide.

Today’s Internet surfers are feeling lucky in love with nearly seven in 10 adults reporting that the Internet improves their relationships, according to the second annual Norton Online Living Report.

Totally unimaginable 2-3 years back, but the writing’s been on the wall for a while now.
ZDnet seems to think that it makes sense.
If it does happen, would be really interesting to see it’s impact to HP. It’d probably give mySQL a lot more mileage and acceptance, unlikely to do much for DB2 even if IBM kills mySQL.

Recently, the Straits Times called me up asking me about the NTU Stabbing incident in regards to gaming. This was the resulting story.
I was quoted in the story :
Referring to the stabbing incident at Nanyang Technological University last week, Mr Nicolas Khoo, 31, co-founder of the Cybersports and Online Gaming Association, said: ‘Such incidents happen to a minority of gamers…In this incident, there could have been other reasons that led him to do it, so why was gaming blamed?’

Many people tweeted this. Found it quite amusing that all the iPhone users are having problems at the US geekfest. No, I don’t think AT&T realises that geekfest is in Austin. Fail.

I love the Dell new E-series of laptops. Now they have just upped the ante with this new ruggedized version.
Dell’s Latitude E6400 XFR
Wonder how it will compare to the Panasonic Toughbook? I’ve already tried the Toughbook and am pretty impressed. Now I’ll just have to find a way to get my hands on the E6400 soon!
Would you buy this Dell? Well if the pricing is as good as all the other Dells, why not!
