Buzz Out Loud 1390: Pentabular screws and the bourbon fairy (podcast)

On today's show, Brian Cooley kindly drops in to keep the streak alive -- with bourbon! Also, to discuss one analyst's counter-intuitive assessment that the Nintendo 3DS is priced too low. Well, I suppose it is, if you're a shareholder. But we're happy. In other news today, the iPad 2 will have a camera (duh), Google Voice might let you port your number for $20, and Angry Birds is probably coming to TV. Why didn't we think of Angry Birds, is what I want to know? --Molly

Hi all,

A merger like this may be unheard of in the US, but in Canada Bell is one of the biggest telecommunication firms in the country with coast to coast internet, tv, cellular, and land line telephone. They also run most of the biggest TV networks in Canada including CTV, TSN (the sports network), Comedy Central, /A\ Channel, Much Music, Discovery (Canada), Bravo!, and many more. See the bottom of http://www.Ctv.ca for the full list. They also own Chum radio

(http://www.ctvglobemedia.com/en/chumRadio.aspx) which owns stations all across the country, and the Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s biggest daily newspapers.

Rogers has started getting into this as well with their purchase of the Sportsnet channels, and part ownership in both the Toronto Bluejays and Toronto Raptors sports teams, as well as RogersonDemand online streaming, and their premium channels on their digital cable service.

I can’t say wether this will be good, bad, or otherwise for us in the future but so far the content providers owning the content creators doesn’t seem to be making things any worse here, but it’s been this way for a long time. Hopefully the same holds true for the Comcast/NBC merger, but with the way it sounds, the only thing worse would be if AT&T bought NBC instead..

Good luck.

It’s a bit unfair to compare iOS adoption to Gingerbread adoption. The day Gingerbread hits, it hits for carriers who then have to spend time to get it to work on their devices. All of this process takes place behind the scenes for Apple, so we hear about an update when developers get it and then it hits a few weeks later. Android just doesn’t work under that model. Gingerbread was literally released less than a month ago and the latest iOS was released in November. Why do they count a version of Android that is under development by manufacturers but not the development version of iOS? They’re counting Android adoption when a piece of its development cycle – getting it onto the actual device – has only just begun.

Froyo does already have over a 50% adoption rate. http://gizmodo.com/5737440/froyo-is-finally-being-used-by-over-50-of-android-users?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gizmodo/full+(Gizmodo)

Fragmentation is an issue for Android, sure, but the life cycle for a phone is pretty short compared to say, a computer. If your Android phone is outdated in its software, then within 6 months it’s also outdated in hardware.

Buzz Out Loud 1391: Google's Eric Schmidt is out and CNET New York is in

It's not your regular Buzz Outloud today. From New York City, Wilson G. Tang, Jeff Bakalar, Dan Ackerman and Rex Brian (AKA Scott Stein) take over, and needless to say it's a very different BOL. In this topsy-turvy world, Google's Dr. Eric Schmidt is forced out as CEO. HP joins the fray by rearranging its board of directors with four new members, including former California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. Verizon files suit against the FCC for rules they proposed, and no, the iPad 2 won't be getting the Retina Display--much to our dismay.

Hello All you Wonderful People!

Just a note about the girl who fell in the fountain: I used to work at this mall (Berkshire Mall, Reading PA) and this same mall had a huge protest concerning a mother nursing her child on a public bench. A mother notified security about the public display of nourishment and security asked the nursing mother to kindly cover up at the request of the offended mother. The nursing mom threw a fit because she had her rights. The next day there was a large protest outside and the security officers (some friends of mine) we’re suspended and later fired. I was told that security was no longer allowed to approach any customer unless they were doing something obviously illegal. Perhaps that is why no one came to the girl’s help.

Hey Buzz Crew,

In episode 1390, you guys talked about Apple’s Pentalobe screws going into the iPhone 5. This wouldn’t be Apple’s first device to have them, because apparently, the new MacBook Air has them too. However, there is a fix! There is a kit that will allow to open the computer and access the battery.

Buzz Out Loud 1392: There is no Matrix (podcast)

Brian Tong returns from the islands in time for us to get collectively punked by a surprisingly elaborate rumor about Keanu Reeves and two more Matrix sequels. But that's nothing compared to the punking that is AOL's subscription service, which generates 60% of its profits and isn't needed by pretty much anyone who pays for it. Ouch. Plus, the tech bubble is our new drinking game and the white iPhone ... never mind. We're not talking about that damn thing anymore. --Molly

Ken from Seattle: the dumb*ss has a warrant

EMAILS

I’m surprised no one mentioned this, but Living Social’s coup last week (the Amazon gift card frenzy) could mean the bursting of Groupon’s “”bubble.”" It certainly highlights what Molly’s been saying all along: Groupon’s business model is easily replicated. All it takes a little help from Amazon, and Living Social had as much name recognition in one day as it took Groupon a year to build up.

Side note: Friday, when Jeff was trying to explain to Wilson what Groupon was (apparently no one in NY uses it), Dan chimed in and said, “”Oh, so it’s like that Living Social thing with the Amazon gift cards, right?”" Ouch!

(Sorry, I might be confusing Bakalar, Ackerman, et. al. All those guys sound the same to me.)

Hey Buzz Crew,

Let’s face it whenever anyone is set up on a blind date these days your 1st stop is Facebook to see how much, or how little, info you can find about the person. So having just been given a # I hopped on Fbook to check out my prospective date. Unfortunately the profile picture was not helpful and her photo albums were not available (or so it seemed). I notice that there was a picture posted on her wall and when I clicked on it I was shocked to find that I was given access to the entire album that contained the photo. So by scrolling down the wall and clicking on posted pictures I was able to access several photo albums containing dozens of photos. Now this may just have been due to loosely set privacy setting, but I was able to drill down into photo albums via wall posts on a few other random Facebook pages as well. So my takeaway on this is 1. change those convoluted privacy setting to only share your wall with friends 2. while this flaw exists you may as well do a little computer love recon before those blind dates…

Love the show

Hello Everyone,

I see one major problem with that Starbucks a payment app that you've talked about. Considering all the buzz and fuss about security, how does it make sense to use (essentially) a static bar code to pay for something? I mean think about the sheer number of camera phones around coffee houses... you prep your code, someone takes a snapshot of it, doctors the image a little so it looks like the right app and bam. Now you're buying them free mochas and Starbucks merchandise and have no clue that you're doing so until you go and check your cell phone bill. Yes I agree that paying for things with our cell phones is an interesting idea, but this just seems to be a really poor idea for how to do it, since it would be so easy for someone to steal your Starbucks ID... besides who needs another something to worry about? We already have Credit Cards, SSI#'s, Drivers License... you get the idea.

Enjoy the Show,

Chris

Hey CNET crew,

When you first started talking about the “”Brian”" streak you were surprised someone would plug in that data and figure it out, someone asked “”Who does that?”".Well I have a coworker in the IS department where I work that is just that person. The cafeteria at work offers plastic mugs that are 34 oz. and the standard cup is 24 oz. You can buy the plastic mug and get fill it up for the same price as the standard cup. So to gauge its worth this employee actually made a ROI for it, and came up that it would take 72 refills to break even on your initial investment. So even though I wouldn’t of ever thought to do that I guess there are some people out there that just think that way. I would also like to say congratulations on keeping the “”Brian”" streak alive. And I love the show.

Learning Malware Analysis

If you happen to be studying at the Aalto University in Helsinki, there's one lecture you don't want to miss tomorrow: our Chief Research Officer Mikko Hyppönen will open the course on Malware Analysis and Antivirus Technologies.

This is a course that we've arranged in co-operation with Aalto University for the past three years. It's always a joy to see people pick up reverse engineering skills and learning malware analysis. Every year we create homework puzzles for the students to test their skills on. This spring Timo, who is working here at the Labs, will be creating the puzzles for the course. Timo is also the author of the T2'10 Challenge, which started off like this:

T2 2010 Challenge

If that looks strange to you, you can also turn it into a picture:

T2 2010 Challenge as a picture

Does it still look weird? Do you think you'd enjoy solving more puzzles and getting course credits for doing it? Then we hope to see you on the course!

If you're not a student at the university, you can view the course material from the course page, where we'll post new material as the course progresses.

Malware referencing Julian Assange

While browsing through incoming malware samples, we noticed this one.

It's an unremarkable malware dropper (md5: 5aac5fc644f5b2797683c2acb337297a).

The somewhat interesting thing on this malware is that it drops a Russian version of Notepad and opens it up for the user to see this message:

Malware referencing Julian Assange - I enjoy crushing bastards (c) Julian Assange

We detect this malware as Trojan-Dropper:W32/Agent.DQJN.
