Jailbroken iPhones exposed to second worm, this time malicious
Nov 23rd
An innocuous iPhone worm has been transformed into a malicious bank details-stealing virus. The second recorded iPhone infection operates on exactly the same principles as the first, as it targets jailbroken handsets with SSH installed, but this time adds the ability for the hacker to remotely control and access the phone. By throwing up a purported ING Direct login page, he (or she, or they) can collect your online banking credentials and, presumably, all the cash they are supposed to protect. Presently isolated within the Netherlands, this outbreak may spread further still, as it is capable of infecting other jailbroken iPhones on the same WiFi network.Nintendo DSi XL set loose in Japan
Nov 21st
Nintendo said it’d have the newly bulked up DSi LL out in Japan for November 21, and shockingly enough that’s exactly what’s happened. Eager Japanese upgraders have today gotten their mitts on the 4.2-inch (both screens, of course) device, while similarly inclined European and American Nintendo lovers are once again left to envy from afar. Their helping of jumbo DSi, to be known as the XL, will be showing up some time in the first quarter of 2010, long after bragging rights and gift-giving holiday occasions have passed.

DSi Firmware 1.4 Brings Facebook, and is live in Japan
Jul 30th
With the new facebook app, you can upload pics to your facebook account and speeds up the camera a little (no clue what that means). Currently it is available in Japan, but there is no word on US release (All they need to do is translate it)
Edit: It’s out!
DSi Review
Apr 29th
I have gotten a DSi to play with and man, it was worth every penny. It may by a pricey($169.99), but it is still the bang for the buck. The new features are the larger screen (3.25′ against 2.75), the new ac adapter (charger), the SD card expansion, and the new re-designed home screen. When you buy the device you get 1000 DSi points for free to spend on DSWare and other games/software. The internet speed is not like a computer, but is not as slow as you think. The SD card alows you to play music, store games that you bought on the shop, save and display pictures. Speaking of the camera you can play and edit pictures by distorting it, graffety, mirror, Etc.The new big screen really helps in all of it. It is just like a PDA with its’ e-mail and web browsing capibilities. But online content like YouTube and Addicting Games don’t work because of its’ loss of flash. I do hope that they will come out with an update to fix that. One big loss for the DSi is that the GBA slot is missing. Howver, not to worry you can buy GBA games from the store. After you buy them you can save them on a SD card. Nintendo compromised it for the thinner device. Yup, it is thinner. Needless to say, the DSi is a great product, but there is already mods out there that can make a portable Wii. P.S. don’t forget for an limited time Nintendo will give you 1000 free Dsi points! So get up and go get a Dsi.
