Remember this video? (from Apple’s I’m a Mac, I’m a PC series of adverts)

It looks like the care free days when Mac owners could sit back and relax without having to worry about malware are indeed coming to an end - maybe. Last month we told you about two new pieces of OS X malware that had been discovered and while neither poses a significant threat in most people’s eyes, it is clearly a sign of things to come. As loyal and vocal as Mac computer users are, until recently they hardly represented a significant portion of the market. As such, those responsible for creating end user-targeted malware focused on Windows since it was the clear and overwhelming market leader. Now that Apple’s computer market share is growing however, Mac user complacency with regards to viruses might lead to some big and easy scores for malware. Apple recently posted the following technical note as a result:

Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult.

The page goes on to recommend three antivirus solutions for OS X, two of which are offered for sale in the Apple Online Store. For the time being, we still haven’t heard any reported cases of a virus actually finding its way to a Mac computer in a real life situation so the following question is posed: Has Apple just firmed up its deals with antivirus providers or are we really in store for a hail storm of Mac malware sooner than we think? In either case, at least we won’t be seeing the commercial above air again any time soon. Good luck Mac fanboys!

” Once relatively untouchable, security experts have now found what they claim to be two new pieces of malware specifically targeting OS X. The first, ‘OSX.RSPlug.D’, is a Trojan capable of rerouting internet traffic to a malicious DNS server which will draw users to phishing sites and ads. So far the only reported sources of the Trojan are porn sites where it sits masked as a codec needed to display certain videos. The second piece of malware, ‘OSX.Lamzev.A’, is much less of a threat. While is is surely capable of doing some serious damage by letting hackers install backdoors in an affected user’s system, a hacker would need physical access to the user’s computer in order to place it. This news might not be terribly huge for most users right now, odds are it is indeed a sign of things to come as Apple computers grow more popular thus drawing the attention and resources of malicious hackers. No need to panic for the time being however, just watch where you go for, err, entertainment ” - BoyGeniusReport.com

Proves my point, Viruses haven’t been developed for Macs due to unpopularity… We’ll see when the first Norton for Mac is out… hehe

WICT 2008 is the 1st National ICT Conference organised by the Faculty of ICT within the University of Malta. The purpose of this conference is to promote research and applications of technologies and practices in the field of ICT. WICT 2008 solicits the submission of original papers dealing with both theoretical and practical aspects of ICT research. Authors are encouraged to present repeatability of their experiments and share with the community the data and test harnesses used. Topics should include (but are not limited to) any aspect from the following fields:

- Computer Information Systems

- Computer Science

- Artificial Intelligence

- Communications and Computer Engineering

- Micro and Nano electronics
Why WICT? - With the primary aim of promoting innovation, WICT is exposing current research efforts being carried out by University Students, Researchers, and Academics, enabling:

• researchers to direct their efforts onto areas of national and international relevance,
• students to investigate their potential research areas in line with industry requirements
• market players to see what the academic arena has to offer in terms of R&D and recruitment opportunities

Wict.eu also aims at creating an EU-wide R&D collaboration platform, promoting the above objectives at a pan-European level.
These workshops are targeted towards the following groups:

- Post/Undergraduate students

- Researchers

- Industry players seeking R&D opportunities

- Entrepreneurs
Tomorrow I’ll be attending this conference! I will post again and give you some general feedback on it.

Today I finally discovered how I can sync my Google Calendar directly from my iPhone and bypassing iTunes and even Microsoft Outlook!! Isn’t that cool? Being a Thunderbird user I found this very usefull!!

Here’s the solution:

First and foremost I have iPhone with firmware 2.1.x. If you have an older version you may follow this tutorial to upgrade to 2.1.x (http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/09/23/how-to-use-quickpwn-21-to-unlock-and-jailbreak-iphone-21-on-windows/).

Simply go to Cydia and install NemusSync application. That’s all!

100 participants, four workshops, three days and one fantastic weekend brought to you by InSite and CommA. In barely three days, each workshop will be creating actual media products with professionals in the fields of video, photography, print and graphic design. We will be creating a magazine, video clips, photographic presentations and graphic design presentations, using what we know, what the workshop leaders will teach us, and what we will learn through the actual experience.

This is your chance to get creative, make your mark on the media, improve your skills and get in touch with experts in the local media scene. It’s also a chance to meet other participants interested in media, making important contacts and great friendships.

The Vodafone IC Weekend is going to be held between the 7th November till the 9th November at The Vivaldi Hotel.
Let’s see if it’s gonna be good… Looking forward to the workshops and parties
