Saddam Hussein (1937-2006), the former Iraqi dictator who spent his last years in captivity after his ruthless Baathist regime was toppled from power by the U.S.-led coalition in 2003, was hanged today for crimes committed in a brutal crackdown during his reign.

"Shoppers are standing in lines to snap up Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii video game consoles as they become available, and some analysts do not expect shortages to ease until March or later.
Shoppers are finding lots of PlayStation 2s and Microsoft Xbox 360s, expected to do well as substitutes for the newest machines that are in short supply."
The days of big virus outbreaks are over, according to director of operations for McAfee's Avert Labs, Joe Telafici.
Telafici said at the recent AVAR (Association of Antivirus Asia Researchers) conference that today's cyber criminals don’t want to draw attention to themselves as the main motivation for cyber crime now is money, not fame, he said. They are "clearly getting more devious," he said, but law enforcement co-operation across borders is also getting more efficient.
Telafici’s team of around 100 security experts in 16 countries builds McAfee’s security content. But they also educate and co-operate with law enforcement.
Avert Labs has also made it ten security threat predictions for 2007:
The use of bots, computer programs that perform automated tasks, will increase. Botnetworks will also increase, but there will be a move away from internet relay chat (IRC) towards less obtrusive instant messaging and peer-to-peer communication. The number of rootkits on 32-bit platforms will increase, but protection and remediation capabilities will increase too. Rootkits are becoming a de facto standard. Vulnerabilities will continue to cause concern, fuelled by the underground market for them. Avert Labs thinks the number of vulnerabilities will grow because of the increased use of fuzzers -automated tools and technologies that allow for large-scale testing of applications - and “bounty programs” that reward researchers for finding vulnerabilities. Identity theft and data loss will continue to be issues - computer theft, loss of backups and compromised information systems are at the result of these crimes. The number of password-stealing websites will increase, using fake sign-in pages for popular online services such as eBay. The volume of spam, particularly bandwidth-eating image spam, will continue to increase. The popularity of video-sharing on the Web makes it inevitable that hackers will target MPEG files as a way of distributing malicious code. Mobile-phone attacks will become more prevalent as mobile devices become "smarter" and more connected. Adware will go mainstream, following the increase in commercial Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). Parasitic malware that modifies existing files on a disk will make a comeback.

Yahoo has issued a "highly critical" update for its popular instant messenger feature as it tries to combat security flaws that could allow an attacker to take over a user's system.
The flaws affect versions of Yahoo Messenger 5.0 through 8.0, according to a security advisory released Friday by Secunia. Windows users who were running versions of Yahoo Messenger before November 2 are advised to update to Yahoo Messenger 8.1.
A security flaw was found in the ActiveX control component of Yahoo's services suite that typically downloads with the Yahoo Messenger installer. The vulnerability could allow a buffer overflow to occur in the ActiveX control. A buffer overflow occurs when a computer tries to store too much data in a temporary storage area, resulting in a system crash or in allowing an attacker "back door" access to the system.
As a result of the ActiveX vulnerability, users could involuntarily be logged out of a Messenger session, have an application such as Internet Explorer crash, or have malicious code launch on their PC if they're lured to a malicious Web site, according to a security advisory released by Yahoo last week.
In the past, users of Yahoo Messenger have been the target of phishing attacks. Attackers would send a message to users that appeared to come from someone on their friends' list, and attempt to lure them to a bogus Yahoo site. The site would then prompt users to enter their Yahoo ID and password.
Gartner predicts that Vista will be the last major Windows release according to their study
"Research firm Gartner Inc. predicts that Windows Vista will be the last big release of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system. The era of monolithic deployments of software releases is nearing an end, and Microsoft will participate in the trend toward more flexible updates, Gartner said in a list of forecasts for 2007. Gartner also expects that the blogging trend will peak in the first half of 2007. Given the average life span of a blog and the growth rate of blogs, the research firm predicts the peak number of bloggers will be around 100 million at some point in the first half of 2007. Gartner also said that by 2010, 60% of worldwide mobile phone users will be trackable via an emerging "follow-me Internet" technology as growing demands for national safety and civil protection relax some privacy limitations. Marketing incentives will also push users to forgo privacy concerns, it said." -source: Reuters

Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Lintek na buhay toh... kung kelan ko kailangan magtrabaho gamit ang internet eh ngaun pa umatake ng pagloloko ang aking internet! kanina pa daw may topak ang destiny internet ayon kay kuya jep LINTEK KAYO DESTINY!!!!!

New photographs from space suggest that water occasionally flows on the frigid surface of Mars, raising the tantalizing possibility that the red planet is hospitable to life, scientists reported Wednesday.
The new images, taken by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor before it lost contact with Earth, do not actually show flowing water. Rather, they show changes in craters that provide the strongest evidence yet that water coursed through them as recently as several years ago, and is perhaps doing so even now.

For cash donations, you can deposit them at Equitable PCIBank Account Number 1491-04069-2. For more details, please contact ABS-CBN Foundation at Telephone no. (63)2-4110846.
In science fiction, the Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three rules written by Isaac Asimov, which most positronic robots appearing in his fiction must obey. Introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround" ("I robot" as we know today), the Laws state the following, quoted exactly:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
but for Samsung its a different story, they created a Gun turret robot hahaha! it's kinda cool actually! I want one for XMAS!!!
for the second time around i had the Spanish peel, last week i have this treatment and my face was horrible, i wasn't able to attend the foundation week due to my burned face ahahaha! oouch! and btw, 6 more stickers to go and I'll get my Starbucks 2007 planner bwahhaahhaa!!!!
