That’s why you should take in high consideration this freeware software which, once used, will let you discover a totally unknown world. I am talking about the world of the hidden options and features, secretly available in your Mac OS X!

Not long after the batteries recall action initiated by HP due to safety concern, now there is another recall effort being initiated by Samsung targeted for its Jitterbug mobile phone series due to unable to access 911 rescue services when out of coverage area.

vw-nuvi-mount

The Jitterbug mobile phones is a basic mobile devices specially designed for elderly folks that emphasizes much on easy-to-use interface. Although it doesn’t have fancy feature, the mobile phone is expected to be able to operate and access to 911 services even if it is out of coverage area by switching to other service provider’s network available especially in rural area. But somehow this is not the case that potentially creates safety issue and triggers the voluntarily recall action to ensure all consumers are able to access rescue service when there is a need during emergency condition.

The problematic mobile phones were sold since May 2008 at a retail price of around $150 and the affected units could be as much as 160,000 units carrying either SPH-a110 or SPH-a120 model number. In collaboration with CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), the Korean company is initiating the recall and registered consumers should be already contacted by Samsung to get their issues resolved by software upgrade. Nevertheless, consumers are advised to contact Samsung directly through 1-866-304-4980 in case their mobile phones are under affected batches.

SSD is a new trend in storage technology as a more robust solution compared to conventional hard disk drive. However, it is not getting good traction due to its sky high pricing. Good news now, JMicron is planning to release a new NAND flash controller aiming to bring down the total BOM (Bill of Material) cost as an effort to make it an affordable storage solution for public.

Named as JMF612, it utilizes a TFBGA based ARM9 core processor with integrated 32KB of ROM and 128KB of RAM, that being designed to resolve previous shuttering issue observed in its predecessor chip, JMF602(B) without the need to combine few of them together in order to boost random read/write performance. Obviously, this has able to bring down the overall cost, few times below its rivals such as Indilinx and Samsung’s solutions. On top of these, the JMP612 controller chip will be pairing with NAND flash fabricated using smaller process technology, potentially 32nm or below that further bring down the manufacturing cost while increasing NAND flash density.

Although it is claimed to be cheap in pricing, the chip controller doesn’t compromise with its performance and functionalities. It will be featured with NCQ (Native Command Queuing) that can prioritize data transmission for multimedia applications in SSD usage as well as advanced data encryption protocol such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for enhanced security protection.

No pricing information yet, more detailed information will be published when the company demonstrating its early prototype samples during the Computex event held in Taipei next week. Consumers may have to wait until middle of 2010 before they can experience the actual products.

wormJust in case you missed the latest breaking news, a worm called Conficker is damaging millions of computers with more than 9 millions PC already infected worldwide. If you want to get some info about this worm, here is a very interesting article available at Wikipedia.  What follows instead is a couple of really simple steps on how to fight this threat back.

Conficker manages to get through your computer in the same classic ways other viruses do. So, there is nothing new under this side. Useless to say, don’t open any files attached to e-mails you don’t know the sender. The first thing Conficker does is to disable system services such as Windows Automatic Update, Windows Error Reporting and other ones. Right after that it will try to connect to a remote server to download more malware to your PC. To block and prevent Conficker attacking you, you need to disable the AutoRun feature by downloading these simple applications in case your operating systems is Windows 2000 or Windows XP. If you own Windows Vista, all you have to do is install this hotfix.  After that, for all operating systems, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start.
  2. Click Run.
  3. Type  gpedit.msc and hit Enter.
  4. Under Computer Configuration locate and expand Administrative Template.
  5. In Windows XP click System while for Windows Vista click Windows Components then Autoplay Policies.
  6. In the right-pane, right-click Turn off Autoplay,  then click Properties.
  7. Under Turn off Autoplay click the Enabled radio button and select All Drivers.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Restart your computer.
