Magic With iPad
We all know that iPad is a fantastic pad.
Even android fantaster agrees with that, even if there always are complains that flash cant be used on apples mobil devices.
Charlie Caper and Erik Rosales on d1gits have done a very nice presentation for Stockholm City with iPad
Can Appel computer get virus?
YES THEY CAN….
I was reading an article in a Swedish IT-magazine today about virus attacks on Apple machines, and I could not help but smile, as they say, “malicious joy is the only true joy.”
Not that I have anything against Appel, im self a proud owner of one iPad and up til 2 months ago I was using iPhone, and have done for almost 4 years.
But I had a discussion with a close IT friend a year ago, which made very clear to me that linux and Appel as he runs, will NEVER have a virus attack.
Self I run Linux and Windows, and Windows has these problems, we all know that. But I also mean that any system can be hacked, and I also said I do not think it takes a long time before we have a virus for Appel machines because of the increased popularity.
The discussion ended up, more or less, that I was a compleat idiot when it came to security. In the last 6 month it have happen a lot….
In September last year Linux Foundation shout down Several of the ITS sites, Including Linux.com, after Discovering suspicious activity on the ITS servers. That Appear to Be related to the Trojan that was found on kernel.org, and later, the same year a virus attack against Apple machines was a fact.
We are still very good friends, but he would not discuss the safety of his machines with me anymore

My new toy
This is my new toy
I have as developer got a new phone, Sony Experia.
And people that follow my blog know that I have for the last 4,5 years been a big lover of iPhone, I dont know if this is on the way to be changed… But I must say, I am very impressed of the phone. Thue its have one problem, the batteri-time is not the best, but I need to have in mind that this telefon is not on the market yet, and the developers of the phone are still working on the hardware and software… Will keep you updated about this issues
Why are people so naiv
Today I needed to logg in to a clients Facebook to connect he’s blog with with the same. I told him to change he’s password and give it to me to enter.
He told me that itwasent nessesary he trust me, and gave me his password directley over the phone. This wasent the worst, the worst was that hes pasword was hes name following of 123456. I asked him checked that if he thought that was a good password, and hes answer was ofcourse with that number-combination its not easy.
I have sad it before… A good password IS atleast 8 caracther and a combination od lower case, upper case, number and a specialsign.
The ironic of this client is that he have special looks in hes house he pay for alarm, and then something that easy and FREE he dont care about.

Be careful with your Twitter
This is not my article, I find it on a Swedish site, CS Jobb, and has just translated it. I also would like a send the credit to the author Rebecca Guzman for the article.
Today Twitter is a strong medium for companies to hire people, or to check on their employees. This has led to problems for many, today young people publishes all sorts of things online without thinking, this can, and has made problems for people, that twittering or posting things on their Facebook.
Here are five people who did not got the job or was fired from their jobs after twittering
1. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who was the insurance company AFLAC voice for decades, made it distasteful choice to make jokes about Japan-disaster on Twitter. One of the jokes was “What the Japanese have in common with @ Howard Stern? Well they are both radioactive “. Aflec, which has 75 percent of its market in Japan, chose to kick Gottfried.
2. CNN editor Octavia Nasr was fired in July 2010 after she ruled on the controversial Muslim leader Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah on Twitter. In connection with his death, she twittered “I am sorry Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah death … One of Hezbollah’s major leaders who I respect.” It was a big uprising in the media and her credibility as a journalist was questioned. As a result, she eventually got fired.
3. 22-year-old Connor Riley tweeted about a job offer from Cisco: “Cisco offered me a great a job! Now I have to weigh a fat paycheck to commute to San Jose and a job I hate. “A Cisco employee saw the comment and replied:” Anyone who intends to hire you is probably interested to know that you will hate the job. ” The result was obvious that he got the job.
4. That was when the consultant, who worked for the Detroit-based automaker Chrysler, once again stuck in a traffic jam on the way to work that he lost patience, logged onto his employer’s Twitter account and wrote “Ironically, that Detroit is known as” motor city “when no one here even manage to run a f *** ing car “. To top it all was consultant adviser in social media for Chrysler, which immediately reacted to the consultant’s Twitter comments and the consultant fired.
5. Attorney Jeff Cox, who works in the state of Indiana, called the police on Twitter to “live rounds” against demonstrators in Wisconsin. It all led to a Twitter debate with journalist Adam Weinstein, who works at the news magazine Mother Jones, where Cox, inter alia, the demonstrators called for political enemies. Weinstein chose to publish details of their discussion in an article the following week. Then got Cox to leave his post.
Google get smalller in China
Google loses market in China…
China’s largest Internet portal Sina have replaced Google’s services with its own technology. This is a real setback for Google’s presence in the country.
Google has lost market in China since January last year, when the company that it will not longer agree to censor the content to comply with the Chinese government’s rules. Google have also accused China of blocking the e-mail service Gmail, which, however, is denied by China
Google is one of the few companies that have stood up to China, but according to Google, it is not just China that censor, they claims that more than 40 governments worldwide use of large-scale censorship of information via the Internet.
Related, post about this:
Google will not censor any longer
Google is challenging China
Internet is not open
Facebook And China = ?
iOS bigger then Linux
Those of you who follow me here knows that I came in contact with Linux by a friend back in 1993.
At that time the installation was not graphic, and I have said before that Linux ‘Will Never” grow strong for the home users as long as this not was sorted.
In late 2004, the first vesionen of Ubunto came and it have graphical interface.
Linux began to grow, got more and more users, but it never went that big as I thought it should be. And now, many years after has iOS for Apple iPad passed Linux all distrubation in less then one year
As I’ve written before, Windows 7 is the most widely used OS in the U.S. by 32%, followed by 31% for Windows Xp, Windows Vista, with 19% and Apple Mac X by nearly 15%
Linux has only 0.7% and is then passed by the iOS for iPad with 1.20%. Another thing we should have in mind, is that the IOS is only used by iPad (mobiles are not included) while the other OS is used on both laptops and desktops
