This is pretty scary stuff..

Keep a close eye on your bank accounts .. apparently the attack (virus) is so effective it’s very difficult to detect and can even modify your bank statements to cover up the money theft….

Keep an eye on your bank account!

Edit 3: Yet more information on the topic here with details!

Video: Blind Type allows you to type without looking at your screen.

…

You have to be kidding me – read this (FTA):

There are a few competing keyboards on Android and the iPhone at the moment: Swype, Shapewriter, Swiftwkey — and that’s just the ones beginning with S. But here’s one that’s tackling a problem I never thought software could tackle: Blind Type makes it possible to type on your touch screen phone without looking at the screen.

When I read that I was like .. yea OK ..    “…makes it possible to type on your touch screen phone *without looking at the screen* then I thought, let’s see them pull this off.   Either click the article link above or click here for the video…

Real deal or mock up / stunt?

Can “an app for that” simply be a shortcut to a webpage?

And if so, open in a new browser (or tab).

Can a webpage in 2010 provide enough functionality to be better or just as a good as a desktop app (or mobile app)?

How about allowing it so the end user can make these choices and reap the rewards (or deal with the frustrations)?

Which uses the least battery? A fully functional dynamic website with ads + API tie ins? Or a stand alone application for that same website?

If you can answer these questions, hit the comments =)

Locale

Available on the Android Market for $9.99, Locale is relatively expensive, but it’s one of the best apps on the Android platform. With Locale, you can program your phone to be aware of its location at all times, and adjust its settings accordingly. For instance, when you get home or arrive at work, Locale can automatically enable Wi-Fi and turn it off again when you leave. It can put your phone on vibrate when you walk into the conference room at work or into your favorite movie theatre. It can block calls from specific people based on your location or the time of day. There are also plugins available that allow other applications to launch or perform specific actions with location or time cues from Locale. With the proper setup, you may never have to manually change your settings again.

First, read this to become enraged…

“At the time these payments were made, they were ill advised, bad judgment on the part of these companies, but they didn’t violate any statute, they didn’t violate any regulation at the time,” Feinberg told ABC News.

They were “in the face of the public interest, perhaps. But ‘contrary to the public interest’ — a statutory standard — no,” he said. “The taxpayer has a right to be outraged. Who wouldn’t be?”

Feinberg named the banks in a review of pay among the top 25 executives at 419 firms that received government assistance before February 17, 2009. Some of the payments exceeded $10 million, as in the case of one individual

The 17 firms identified in the report include American Express, AIG, Bank of America, Boston Private Financial Holdings, Capital One, CIT, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, M&T Bank, Morgan Stanley, Regions, Suntrust, Bank of NY Mellon, Goldman Sachs, PNC Financial Services Group, US Bancorp, and Wells Fargo.

Via Slashdot:

“Seven Republican senators have announced a plan to curb the Obama administration’s push to impose controversial Net neutrality regulations on the Internet.” “The FCC’s rush to take over the Internet is just the latest example of the need for fundamental reform to protect consumers,” says Sen. Jim DeMint, who I’m sure truly only has the consumer’s needs at heart — since his campaign contributions list AT&T in his top five donating organizations.

I’d like to see a panel of morons get in on a debate on this topic. The FCC is taking over the Internet? rofl by giving it to the people instead of business. What a very un-american remark sir.

I’d love to hear them try to argue this stupidity when faced with logic and facts (instead of with lobbyist dollars).

Ridiculous.
