"After an in-depth analysis of the laptop, my conclusion was that this software was installed by the manufacturer, Samsung. I removed the keylogger software, cleaned up the laptop, and continued using the computer."
So, the author, Mohamed Hassan was able to uninstall a software which was never installed? I think he would have deleted the folder in question and called that un-installing!!

The reason they are building skyscrapers, race-tracks etc is that once the oil run out, Dubai shouldn't see an exodus. They want to become the financial capital of Asia and keep the money flowing in.
I typed in the url once with an extra 'e' and my company's internet filter blocked it. ;-)
The Shutter Island.
It was a wonderful psych-thriller by master Scorcese, had some power packed performance by Leo, but didn't make it to any movie awards. Any takes?
The Departed was based on the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs. It has a prequel as well as a sequel too. I don't understand Chinese and had to rely on subs.
But, I had watched Infernal Affairs before Departed came. Martin Scorcese was awesome, Walhberg and Damon are my favs, but still, I liked the original more than the Hollywood adaptation.
I think you watched Departed first and then the original, which would have caused the original to look inferior with the Hollywood one.
From LA Times, Warner gambles on an unproven commodity. Quoting the first line:
"The studio and its partner have invested $160 million in 'Inception,' a film that is not a sequel, adapted from a comic book or inspired by a toy. They're hoping it follows the path of 'Matrix.'"
I have a couple of points to make.
1) Inception is a great idea .i.e. similar to Matrix, for which the entire world fell at its feet.
2) But unlike Matrix, it's difficult to make a series out of Inception.
3) And last, Inception production cost was $160 million and Warner Bros spend the equivalent amount in marketing ($100+)
So, even good films, those which are born out of new ideas, needs a good marketing plan. The only thing is that the studios should believe in the film!!

Twitter moved to Verio and here's Biz Stone's reply to Techcrunch:
We’re still very much engaged in our efforts to bring solid reliability to Twitter. Achieving our goals is a sustained effort, not an overnight fix. Performance is our most important measure of success and we appreciate both the patience and frustration folks are sharing with us.
With regard to discussing technical specifics about last night’s efforts, we’ll be more keen to do that once we have a chance to come up for air and cover it with some perspective.
Also, if you look at the PR of these new mobile companies, they are mostly targeted at the people living in rural areas. So, they are in fact eating a part of Nokia's pie, but a final verdict can be said only a couple of years later. Micromaxx is going public soon, so, lets wait and see how many of them make it.

Well, in golf, being a hacker is an insult. From http://golf.about.com/cs/golfterms/g/bldef_hacker.htm
Hacker:
A very bad player. Somewhat synonymous with "duffer" in that they both apply to poor players. But "duffer" is sometimes used to denote weaker players in general, while "hacker" is often applied to a single golfer as an insult. Hacker is a little bit stronger than duffer, in other words.
Elie Wiesel is a Nobel peace prize winner and he is a survivor of The Holocaust. The short novel Night, talks about his experiences in the concentration camp. The Dawn and Day are fictional works by him .
To cite an example, Darren Rowse of Problogger initially started with problogger.net since the .com was with someone else ('squatter' as you call them). He started off the blog with the .net and later went on buying Problogger.com
On the lighter side, there is a chance that Apple might release some other gadget and people will go after it if you are going to take months to release an app for iphone ;)
being in this field for the last 2 years, i completely agree to this. But, as someone else has pointed out, this has to do with the bad management practices followed. Also,kids directly from college expect a spoon feeding kind of situation and are afraid to take decisions of their own.
