Here Comes Autumn

It is the end of Syawal of the Muslim's month in the lunar calendar. It is also the changing of season, opening the door to winter.
Here at the place where I lived in Taif, the seasons starts off with the picking of grapes and pomegranates.
Everyday the locals picks up the fruits and sell them to the Capital city.
The small green grapes are dried under the sun to become raisin, which later on becomes filling of local breads. While the bigger shining excellent condition are packed and deliver to the customer around Saudi.
While pomegranate fruits are ruby red with small sizes sparkling ruby color sweet inside. In my home country we use to call it "buah delima". Pomegranates are Iran and Himalayan origin brought by the traders along the silk trade route to Saudi. It is a good source of vitamin C and the Sauds loves it. The pomegranate fruit is usually eaten as salad along with grapes and mayonnaise.

Stuxnet Virus Targeted at Iran

A very malicious virus has spread through out network industrial computer in resent days. The virus itself is a refined trojan know as Stuxnet. Some speculated that the virus is specially made and targeted at Iran especially for its nuclear reactor at Bushehr.
The Stuxnet "Trojan worm" was designed to attack industrial control systems produced by Siemen's AG, which are commonly used to manage water supplies, oil rigs, power plants and other industrial facilities.
According to Symantec, 60% infected world wide is in Iran and some in Pakistan, India and now Indonesia.
It spreads from USB devices and exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system specially the unlicensed. Once the worm infects a system, it sets up communications with a remote server computer that can be used to steal data or take control of the system.
Speculation are targeted at Israel which admitted earlier to have the capability to lunch a cyber attack to Iran. Also the US which at odd with Iran's nuclear capability.
Fred Burton, a former US counter terrorism agent and vice-president of risk consultancy Stratfor, said he suspected Stuxnet was a covert action on the part of a nation state intelligence service in an effort to disrupt Iranian military or nuclear efforts.
Some experts also commented that search term in the internet about Stuxnet lead to boobytraped sites with Stuxnet virus. So be aware.
Now Siemen is offering free assistance site for downloading the antivirus.

"lol , is this you" Facebook virus

Couple of hours ago I received an urgent posting from abc News which warns us that a virus is spreading through the Facebook's network. "They have also wreaked havoc for me and several of my friends' computers. It usually happens with new users who aren't aware and teens that click on every thing" Rechelle Harrion commented in abc News status post.

The virus spreaded through Facebook IM saying "lol, is this you" followed by a link. DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK !!!!, because it is a door knob to spread the virus to your computer. The virus access you Friends data and spread out to all your friend in the Facebook.

So how do we deal with it, here is a good comment from a friend.
"I did hear about a virus going around on fb but I had no idea how many there were out there but I guess we gotta expect these things because fb is a part of the internet and with that comes hackers,virus and i know friends of mine have had their fb accounts hacked into as well. We just have to be more aware of what we do here to protect ourselves and our friends from unwanted virus etc thanxs for the heads up abc news:)" according to Charmaine Nefertiti Conaghty.
"Never click on links you didn't request or are from people you don't know. Same goes for your regular email. Common sense people, curiosity isn't worth what these hacker f--ktards are spreading". Great advise from Martin Matthes.
Like he just commented, I guess we must be careful about opening links unknown to us.

Search Terms Which Endanger Your Computer

There are many dishonest people out there in the virtual world who take advantage through the internet connectivity to your computer. They slipped in malicious software such as spyware, pop-up ads, malware into your computer without you ever noticing, especially with a weak antivirus, turned of firewall or turned off pop-up blocker.
Software download is the most common risk of virus infection in your computer, which then eventually disable it or slipped out valuable information such as your bank account no, passwords or valuable data available in your computer.
How did they do it in the first place? Very simple actually, they look for crowds in the virtual world. They are using most commonly used search term, such as "free games download","free ringtones download", "free Mp3 download", "online games","antivirus download","free registry cleaner","free rank widget","web visitor counter","free porn download", many more.
In order to be safe from virtual world viral infection, keep your operating system updated, firewall and pop-up blocker on. Also don't forget to install antivirus and keep updating it.

Acid3 Browser Test for Firefox 4 Beta vs IE9 Beta

The Acid3 test (wikipedia) is written and develop by Google's employee Ian Hickson, which tests the performance of browser compliance to elements such as DOM (Document Object Model) and Java script. The third version is upgraded from the first and second, which complies and focuses on interactive modern technologies such as Web2.0, ECMA script(java script), DOM level2 and CSS3. Which all of these available inside Firefox 4 Beta and Internet Explorer9 Beta.
Since I don't have IE9 Beta in my computer (see why), I used results from official Microsoft sites test result as a reference to my own test I am about to perform.
Below is the result taken from official Microsoft's site, IE9 Beta acid3 test result.


IE9 Acid3 test result from Microsoft official site

Before doing Acid3 test, make sure that the browser is in its default setting, which mean raw without any modification what so ever. Then go to Acid3 test official site and instantly the result will be shown.
The result of my own Acid3 test on Firefox 4 Beta is..........

I was amazed by the result, my Firefox 4 Beta outranked the IE9 Beta's result by two points. The result shows that Firefox 4 Beta complies to the Acid3 test standard better, especially to java scripts.
After seeing this result, I think, I will be faithful to my Firefox 4 Beta. (
