Researchers have been hard at work for the past few years trying to build computer chips using self-assembling circuitry built of molecules — meaning that they’re incredibly teensy.

Panda Security is reporting a second incident of malware on Vodafone’s HTC Magic, a Google Android smart phone. it provide a clear example for how smartphones are prime targets to become botnets once connected to a user’s personal computer. The incidents provide real-world examples of how companies can inadvertently spread malware

We know, BJ Snowden is an American artist — but since her song “In Canada” is probably on every iPod and computer up north, we have to wonder whether a proposed amendment to the Canadian Copyright act will help her finally get what’s coming to her. The brainchild of the New Democratic Party’s Charlie Angus, the bill would extend 1997′s Private Copying Levy “to the next generation of devices that consumers are using for copying sound recordings for personal use.” Proponents of the plan says that it ensures that artists get paid for their work — essentially, the government wants you to pay upfront for the music you’re likely to steal anyways by taxing your next digital audio player purchase. Of course, much about the plan doesn’t make sense (it doesn’t address digital video, for instance, or the computers that people use to download and store their music in the first place) but we guess we’ll let the Canadian government hash that one out

It’s St. Patrick’s Day today and we have suddenly found ourselves struck by a sudden touch of Irish inspiration (yeah, that’s what we call this sort of inspiration). And the only way to fight this inspiration (yeah, sometimes you have to fight it) was to design something that would be a) free and b) in Celtic and St

We’ve heard plenty of chatter about something thin and sexy being added to Acer ‘s laptop lineup, and finally the company has unveiled the Aspire TimelineX 1830T. It’s under an inch thick and weighs 3lbs, with an 11.6-inch screen offering 1366 x 768 pixels and driven by integrated graphics. Acer simply lists an Intel Core 2 Solo processor, but others are reporting that it will feature a Core i5 520UM processor which can range from 1 to 1.8GHz to offer decent performance along with great battery life — eight hours worth according to Acer, but we’ll believe that when we see it

With the iPad on the way , the one thing we haven’t heard any news about — and are expecting to any day now — is an update for Apple’s Mac family. Rarely a year goes by these days without some kind of refresh, though the company has been mum now for longer than that

Apple: Higher prices, better hardware on the way for Macs?
Could this be another example of online advertising presaging the onset of a hardware upgrade from Cupertino? Apple’s ads on Australian tech pub PC Authority have been spotted displaying some rather peculiar price tags for its flagship mobile and desktop computers. Whereas Cupertino’s Aussie online store lists the most affordable versions of the MacBook Pro , MacBook Air and Mac Pro at A$1,599, A$1,999 and A$3,599, respectively, the above, official-looking ads would seem to disagree.

The New York Times and CNN have both built strong online presences – through strongly contrasting technology strategies. Senior players at both companies explain “The New York Times is now as much a technology company as a journalism company,” its executive editor Bill Keller said recently. A glance at the top 10 breaking news sites online shows how seriously that statement must be taken, because in 2009 that list was often led by a tech company rather than a traditional news organisation

Tsahi’s recent post on what telepresence is got me thinking about the way enterprises currently use video conferencing and how I see video conferencing in the future enterprise. It is no secret that video conferencing today is mainly limited to conference rooms. If your company is global, or at least has a few branches that are located far one from the other, you probably have some video conferencing endpoints in your conference rooms

Michael Berger at Nanowerk is reporting on recent research out of Spain to embed microelectronics within living cells, a feat that promises to provide intracellular sensing for research and medical monitoring applications. Turns out we’re not very far away from this reality due to the nanoscale production of modern microprocessors. A tidbit from Nanowerk : In their experiments, the Spanish team fabricated different batches of polysilicon chips and then chose the most suitable device type with lateral dimensions of 1.5-3μm and with a thickness of 0.5 μm to be placed inside living cells

Microsoft have made some good moves with WP7 – a standardised feature set, a fairly intuitive and finger friendly GUI and some obvious, but to date ignored, innovation, such as the ability to play the same game across devices and continue where left off. IE, be playing on an XBOX 360 at home and then continue on the bus with your phone. Why didn’t anyone else do that already?

On March 9 McAfee warned consumers that “scareware,” or fake anti-virus software, may be the most costly online scam in 2010, causing significant monetary loss and damage to users’ computers. In this blog, I’ll give you some additional details about the figures we cited last week in McAfee’s new Consumer Threat Alert program. Apart from the scareware files themselves, many malware that aid rogue anti-virus programs in attacking computers are grouped into the fake-alert Trojan family
