| Gmail Gives Power to the People Widget Posted: 27 May 2011 12:16 PM PDT  Google has introduced a new tool to the social networking world using one of its strong suits: Gmail. In the next couple weeks, Google will debut a feature for Gmail called the "People Widget." The widget will appear to the right of messages and display information about contacts, including recent messages, shared documents, calendar events, statuses and, perhaps most striking, photos. Users can use widgets to schedule group meetings and online chats. The widget will be rolled out in the next two weeks. |
| Internet Explorer Flaw Lets Hackers Into the Cookie Jar Posted: 27 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT  Italian security researcher Rosario Valotta has discovered a new way for hackers to steal their victims' online credentials -- stealing the session cookies from whatever site a victim is visiting. The stolen cookies can then be used to get victims' computers to download malware, forge clicks or send messages, according to Valotta's website. The attack, which Valotta dubbed "cookiejacking," works on all versions of Internet Explorer across all versions of the Windows operating system, the researcher contends. |
| Are Android Tablets Stumbling Out of the Gate? Posted: 27 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT  Based on initial sales reports and some tablet market flip flops, the few Android tablets that have hit the shelves so far seem to have crashed and burned. Early sales figures indicate that no Android tab is coming close to being the much-awaited Apple iPad alternative. But will time heal all? Does the Android tablet just need the same growing time that consumers gave the iPad? The Motorola Xoom was supposed to be Android's powerful opening salvo in its battle to kill the iPad. It was the first Honeycomb tablet to hit the scene running Google's reinvigorated Android 3.0 tablet OS. |
| Posted: 27 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT  What is Lodsys? It's a patent troll company. And by all accounts, when it comes time to check in at Hell, patent trolls are said to have a spot right near the front of the line, right next to the people that put kittens in burlap sacks and throw them into rivers. But Lodsys is not just any patent troll -- it's the type of patent troll that makes other patent trolls squirm. See, Lodsys did not go after big companies in its latest salvo of legal letters. It went after the indie developers. |
