One in every five applications in the Android Android Market applications is claimed can turn into bad thing because it has a weak system and can be tricked by hackers.

This was stated by internet security firm SMobile System, as quoted by Cellular News, Monday (06/28/2010).

According to SMobile System, thousands of Android applications are mostly made by third parties. These applications can access personal and sensitive information held by users’ android. This is able to attract hackers to break into the application and rode it for malicious purposes.

In conclusion these results, SMobile Systems has analyzed approximately 48 000 applications that currently meets the Android Market.

For additional information, approximately five percent of applications in research have the ability to make phone calls to all phone numbers without requiring permission from the user. Meanwhile, two percent of these applications can directly perform sending SMS to premium numbers without the user’s knowledge.

“Architecture that drives the open-source Android phone and abundant store of applications available for all the smartphone devices has enabled developers to quickly create new applications. As a result, applications that are currently available have the potential to cause serious damage to the device, subscribers and cellular networks broader, “said Director of Technology Systems SMobile of Daniel V. Hoffman.

President Barack Obama will have the right to close access to the Internet when in an emergency. It was proposed in the Law on national security to the parliament of the United States.

In these rules contained that to maintain national security of the United States when experiencing an emergency, the President of the United States can ask for closing the temporary access to the internet companies in the U.S. Thus was launched Dailymail, Sunday (06/20/2010).

When the Act was passed, the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and also the Internet service provider based in the United States must comply with the U.S. president in an emergency. With a sense, the President can ‘kill’ the internet for a while.

Any internet company that refused to comply will be subject to sanctions under the applicable rules.

However, this rule is apparently not passed, considering the many critics who posted the proposed Act superiors. Former U.S. presidential candidate, Joe Liebermann said the rules are prone to be misused by the White House primarily to control the virtual world.

Another criticism conveyed TechAmerica group, stating that these rules will potentially create an absolute rule.

These rules essentially motivated by a number of hacker attacks to the virtual world. As known since the last three years the number of attacks jumped approximately 400 percent. With the rules then the government closed access can easily monitor Internet access.

Korean giant Samsung has responded to claims by Apple CEO Steve Jobs that the iPhone 4G mobile phone has a “retina display” that is superior to the Super AMOLED technology base. Jobs claimed that the IPS LCD technology used in four new iPhone offers superior color reproduction and higher resolutions.

This was immediately responded by Samsung through their spokesperson through the Korean Herald, saying that while Apple’s “retinal display” more superior in terms of resolution, the overall OLED is still the best technology, the SUPER AMOLED is still being used in Samsung and Samsung Galaxy Wave S in the future.

“Difference in visibility only until 3 to 5 percent, but to increase the resolution that increases the level of battery power consumption by 30 percent, structurally IPS LCD technology can not catch up with AM-OLED display technology.” As said by a spokesman for Samsung. Come in terms of power saving backlight option, the display backlight discrete retinal Apple needs to light the screen, where the OLED is emitting a means to create their own lighting. This means that the wider the contrast ratio as well, easily able to present the ratio of 1,000,000:1 OLED (although we do not know the specs on the Samsung Super AMOLED panel), while “dwarf” iPhone 4 offered only a 800:1 contrast ratio.

Single-function printers now is still dominated the inkjet printer market. But the market is predicted to continue declining; it will take over by the multifunction printer. Looking at this trend, Canon printer products extend its Union multifunction. On Monday, Canon introduced three new members of the family of multifunction printer Pixma MX series, the MX347, MX357, and MX876. All three segments were created for small office or home office.

These three printers also featured with the facsimile, and also can be a scanner. They also support Wi-Fl Especially for MX357 and 876, it is available also for local network connectivity (LAN). Model MX347 and 357 is a printer that can produce a scan resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi. Both are able to store scan results in the internal memory or USB-based external data storage.

These three printers also equipped with a PictBridge socket. This is a feature that connected to Canon digital camera and enables to print photos without the help of computers. This feature also exists in the model 876. Only, at 357 and 876 models, users can display photos on the 2.5 inch screen because it is already colored.

MX876 model presents a more complete feature than his brother. In addition to its high resolution, this printer has auto duplex; a feature to print the back and forth. As printers, Canon is trying to increase the speed of the third print printer while offering a new standard called IPM, or images per minute. Usually a standard that is widely used is the PPM vendor or pages per minute.

It uses the standard method of ISO 24 734. Unlike the PPM method, which usually only includes the speed of the printer when printing a document in draft format, ISO 24 734 requires that the tests were performed on three document formats, i.e. Word, Excel, and printing speed PDE then averaged.

The scanning speed also improved. This is because Canon designed the machine to analyze the document to be scanned. Blank white part will be passed in order to save time. For safety, Canon also adds one feature to prevent squeeze when they want to use the number on the fax. The trick is to send a notion once again when they want to send a fax. In addition, the printer features fax preventing the entry of trash (junk fax).

For PDF documents, users can set up keywords so that documents could not be seen by anyone else. Printers were also equipped with an opening to the output paper tray automatically. This is to prevent jamming when users forget to open the output tray after printing is executed.
