    Japanese P2P virus catches you downloading porn, demands money to clear your name

    Posted on April 15, 2010 | No Comments
    There's a pretty hilarious computer virus causing a bit of havoc in Japan right now. It affects users of the P2P program Winny (sorta like a Japanese version of Freenet, so says mighty Wikipedia), users who were looking for a strain of pornography known as hentai. I wouldn't recommend googling that word while at work, or while in the presence of other human beings unless you're prepared for a laugh followed by, "Um, what?"

    What else do you have to do this morning? I mean think about it: there’s maybe a cup of coffee waiting for you in the break room and maybe someone brought some donuts. It’s the holidays. Who is doing anything today? Not you, that’s for sure. So sit back, take off your tie, and watch some [...]

Roku has just added ten new channels to that line-up and built a fascinating platform for adding more down the [...]

  • App Store Exposed: Notes Of Interest From Apple’s Statement To The FCC

    App Store Exposed: Notes Of Interest From Apple’s Statement To The FCC

    Posted on August 21, 2009 | No Comments
    Now that all of the letters to the FCC have been filed by Apple, AT&T and Google, we're more carefully reading them over for interesting details. The Apple letter would seem to have the most interesting information, as it controls the App Store, and has given some new information about it. Here are some interesting tidbits. On general app rejections:
    We created an approval process that reviews every application submitted to Apple for the App Store in order to protect consumer privacy, safeguard children from inappropriate content, and avoid applications that degrade the core experience of the iPhone. Some types of content such as pornography are rejected outright from the App Store, while others such as graphic combat scenes in action games may be approved but with an appropriate age rating. Most rejections are based on bugs found in the applications. When there is an issue, we try to provide the developer with helpful feedback so they can modify the application in order for us to approve it.

    China, don’t install Green Dam! It’s full of bugs!

    Well this ought to be of some use to our Chinese readers. And by that I mean people who are actually in China who visit, for whatever reason, crunch gear dot com. There's some sort of software called Green Dam that will be required on all Chinese PCs soon that blocks all sorts of fun content from being downloaded and/or viewed. Salty political talk? Banned. Pornography? Banned. (Well that's 90 percent of the Internet right there, silly political arguments (NOBAMA, REVERSE RACISM, etc.) and porn.) Tips on how to grow marijuana? Banned. Violent video games? Banned. Fun all around!

    How do you convince the elderly to go online? Should you even bother?

    Posted on June 10, 2009 | No Comments
    Believe it or not, but some people actually refuse to go online! (I say we salute these people for being so brave.) This news comes to us from that Digital Britain report that I've mentioned in the past. It's sort of a Doomesday Book vis-à-vis the UK's participation in the digital world/economy, if that makes any sense. And today's big number: 43 percent of adults in the UK who have no Internet access, either by choice or because of financial restraints, would turn down a free or heavily subsidized Internet connection. Like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino, these people simply have no time for that Internet crap. I mean really, what is this old lady going to do with Twitter?
