Robot Serving Ice Cream (in Japan Of Course)

I do recall Apple trying to say that Android was so unsecured and more at risk to these security threats than Apple at one point in time.

Luckily for BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile users there is an app called Lookout to take care of this.

Antivirus

Block viruses & malware

Scans every app downloaded

Backup

Contacts, photos, call history

Access data online

Phone Finder

Locate phone on map

Activate alarm to find it

I wonder if Apple won’t allow this one through their walled garden for apps. You know, cause they are so “secure” and what have you.

I would be interested in seeing the source of Apple saying Android was insecure and how it relates. Apple focuses on preventing bad apps from getting on the phone in the first place rather than create the demand for software developers to create apps to pickup the slack. As for anti-virus specifically, both McAfee and AVG have showed interest in bring their products to the iphone.

I hate seeing iPhone and Android compared all the time when there are more differences and intentions between them. Having one phone and putting down the other phone just proves that they are different and you are satisfied with what you have. Move on. At least I know that Apple would rather focus on innovating then spend time comparing.

Mind-Blowing Kinect Hack of the Day: Oliver Kreylos of UC Davis takes Kinect hacking to the next level by transforming the sensor device into a (nearly) fully-functional 3D video camera (taking into account the obvious spatial limitations of the static box).

Make sure to check out this supplemental video in which Kreylos compares the sizes of 3D objects to their real counterparts to show that they match.

Strong Is As Strong Does of the Day: North Korea is strong. How strong? Well, the source code of the official webpage of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea pretty much speaks for itself, doesn’t it? (i.e., very strong).
