Notorious audible virus is saying something

“You have been infected,I repeat you have been infected and all your system files have been deleted.Sorry .Have a nice day and Bye Bye.” The above words is not from a Sci-Fi movie but they are the words of Trojan horse “Botvoice. A” which will take control of your Windows Text Reader and yells the above message while wiping out your hard drive.The virus deletes the system files and also modifies the windows registry and blocks any further action to recover from the critical condition.All you are left with a voice which will play in a continous loop in a taunting way.

The virus spreads itself through peer to peer networks and USB and floppy drives and unusual thing is it doesn’t jump from PC to PC on its own the user have to download it first from the internet and once its in it will infect your USB and floppy drives and cause further damage.

The new trojan horse was detected by the Panda labs you can find more information about the virus at virus encyclopedia here.

Blu-ray has a 2:1 lead over HD DVDs

Blu-ray outsells HD-DVD in U.S. for first 9 months. According to Home Media Research, sales of Blu-ray titles from January 1st to September 30th of this year now total 2.6-million units, while the HD DVD camp has moved some 1.4-million flicks in the same period.

Paramount Home Video said that “Transformers” had the biggest debut of any high-definition titles, selling over 100,000 HD-DVDs on Oct 16, its first day of release.

Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, also said the 18-month period of exclusivity for HD-DVDs by Paramount and DreamWorks should strengthen HD-DVD’s hand this quarter.

“This definitely smooths out the edge that Blu-ray had in exclusive titles and it very much strengthens HD-DVD’s hand in the fourth quarter,” he said, but still expects Blu-ray will lead for the year overall. Adams predicts that for 2007 overall, consumers will spend $186 million purchasing Blu-ray discs, versus $91 million for HD-DVD.

One big factor giving Blu-ray an edge has been the popularity of Sony’s PlayStation 3 game consoles, which also include a Blu-ray disc drive.

SKYPE ON MYSPACE

Not a surprising deal, but definitely one that does not make sense as of now. Especially when the mover behind the deal is News Corp/MySpace and not Skype, as we might have expected. News Corp./MySpace today announced partnership with Skype that will bring Skype calling and instant-messaging features to MySpace users. According to WSJ, from November, MySpace users will be able to call people through instant message.

Since Skype does not have any web based look alike for the downloadable instant messaging client, it remains to be seen what form the integration takes. Will it be a simple click to call integration or would it be similar to what Jangl and Jaxtr are offering on other social networking platforms? Integration with Skype Instant messaging part seems out of scope for sure.

As always, depth of the integration into the user profiles would impact the uptake. While taking about MySpace, another factor that needs to be considered is spam accounts. Will this deal result in more fake/spam calls to unsuspecting Skype users that has seen an uptick in the past few days? Eitherway, let’s wait for more details to emerge.

INNOVATIVE BOSE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

I have always been a big time fan of Bose music systems and love their world class music products developed by research and innovation. Bose is one of its kind of company that spends a very large share of their profits back into product research and that’s why they are much ahead than their competitors.

Bose® Suspension System

It’s only today that I discovered about their innovative suspension system and it dramatically improves the automobile suspension system. You must watch the video below to see it for yourself.

The Bose® suspension uses a modular approach to replace a vehicle’s original suspension. The proprietary Bose suspension system couples linear electromagnetic motors and power amplifiers with a set of unique control algorithms. For the first time, it is possible to have, in the same automobile, a much smoother ride than in any luxury sedan and less roll and pitch than in any sports car. The Bose research vehicle provides superior comfort by gliding smoothly over bumpy roads and superior control by keeping the car body level during aggressive maneuvers.

5 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE U BUY A HDTV

Fancy Ads - If you are planning to buy the HDTV online, think again. How the TV looks in those fancy ads could be entirely different when you install it at your home. Also, when you see a TV in a store, the lighting environment could affect the appearance of the picture quality. When you bring it back home, it may look different than what you saw in the store.

Size does matter - When you view a HDTV in a store, it may either look small or bigger depending on the TVs that are placed next to it. Since at your home, you may install just one of those, do consider to measure the display area and screen size before you decide on the size of the TV.

Missing models? - This is not applicable to all the stores but only handful ones who advertise about a particular model with lot of discounts and when you arrive the store, you will never find it there. Common excuses to hear - TV out of stock or already SOLD. Mind you, that TV was never in stock but just used in ads to get you there. Don’t end up buying something else, get what you want.

Digital Audio - If you are buying a HDTV, the standard of audio should be Dolby digital Surround and that should be your first choice too. Many manufacturers use their proprietary audio systems in the HDTV models they sell. These proprietary audio systems could produce quality audio but Dolby digital should be your first choice. Most HDTVs do not come with complete audio speakers system, so, when you buy an external speaker system, stick to one that’s Dolby compatible.

Delivery and Installation - Make sure to talk to the store guys about what needs to be done after you buy your HDTV. Talk about additional charges, if any, that you will need to pay the guys who will install the TV at your home. Discuss in detail about the Warranty, service contracts, on-site repair charges etc.
