Posted on April 28, 2010 | No CommentsGoogle has warned THE INTERNET to be on the lookout for phony anti-virus software. The deal is that malicious software makers have started "hiding" malware inside software that purports to be anti-virus software. But it's not anti-virus software!

Use your laptop to detect the next big earthquake before it happens
Posted on April 20, 2010 | No CommentsIt's pretty great that people are just now realizing that Planet Earth isn't some sort of static strip mall. There are volcanoes, and earthquakes, and hurricanes, and tornadoes, and tsunamis—objects from outer space regularly invade the atmosphere. This planet is alive, brother! So, idea: you know how certain laptop models, like ThinkPads and MacBooks, come with built-in accelerometers? They're there in order to protect the hard drive from a devastating fall, but what it you could use said accelerometer to detect an earthquake before it happens?

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 fixes a-comin’ this week
Posted on April 19, 2010 | No CommentsBe on the lookout for a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 update sometime this week, probably by Wednesday. Most of the changes affect the multi-portion of the game, something that I’ve participated in for, oh, 18 seconds before dying, cursing, then never playing again. True story! -
Jailbreak fix for iTunes 9.1 on Windows already on the way
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
There was a wee bit of chaos amongst iPhone jailbreakers after this morning's iTunes 9.1 update hit. Seemingly out of nowhere, "tethered" jailbreaks (the slightly-less-convenient type necessary for newer iPhones) stopped working. Panic!
Fortunately, the endlessly resourceful army behind the jailbreaking effort has already isolated the problem, and a fix is in the works.

Be on the lookout for TiVo news later today!
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsI don't want to alarm any of you, but today is TiVo Day! Yes, a little later on today TiVo will unveil something that's sure to please Matt Burns, if no one else. There have been plenty of rumors as to what the company has up its sleeves, but I'm sworn to secrecy. That, and it's been several months since they actually told me What's Up, and I simply do not remember what I was shown behind closed doors.

World of Warcraft hackers embrace man-in-the-middle attacks
Posted on February 28, 2010 | No CommentsHere's some troubling news for my fellow World of Warcraftplayers. It seems that hackers, account thieves, and other miscreants have now embraced man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks to further their evil ways. Blizzard says it's not a widespread issue, and it's rather difficult to pull off, but it's something y'all should be aware of.

Movie screener season is here~!
Posted on December 16, 2009 | No CommentsThe Golden Globe nominees were announced yesterday, and I'm going to go with Paul O and Ron's (from Ron and Fez… seriously, I have XM on all day long) conclusion that this year has been a fairly weak one. There were a few good films (I enjoyed Inglourious Basterds, and I want to see Up in the Air and The Informant and A Serious Man) but does anything really seem like an Oscar lock? I think not. Thank God for leaked screeners!

Posted on November 30, 2009 | No CommentsYou may have noticed things have been a bit quiet on the MobileCrunch front for the past few days. After a few months of nose-to-the-grindstone, the siren call of over-packed plates and family good times stemming from the Thanksgiving holiday was too much; we locked up shop for a few days, headed home, and had [...] -

Too big to fail: Using MMOs to study economics
Posted on October 6, 2009 | No CommentsWe all know that real world officials have used games like World of Warcraft to monitor the spread of infectious diseases, like trout flu. But what's new to my eyes, broken pieces of junk that they are (I wouldn't be able see Jupiter even if I were five feet away from it), is that researchers are using them to study economics. It's simultaneously a bad and good idea.
