Autodesk To Bring AutoCAD to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

It seems everyone wants an iPhone4, an iPod or Apple's latest money cow, the iPad and no one seems to bother with the Mac anymore.

For starters, the Mac has been seen as just an (expensive) accessory or a multimedia editor or a laptop with a great cam, great graphics and almost nothing else.

But with the announcement of Autodesk brining back the AutoCAD design and engineering software to Apple also marks the return of the Mac. This is big news for the Mac community, specifically architects, engineers, designers and the like who want AutoCAD on their MAC but will have to install 3rd-party softwares just to make it work.

Updated:Zeus v3 Removal Tool

Currently, no Zeus v3 Removal Tool has been released to the public but Symantec has announced on its webpage that "Norton products have already been updated to identify and protect against Zeus (aka Trojan.Zbot) and its variants. Current users of Symantec’s Norton security products are protected."

Other antivirus softwares may soon follow suit towards thwarting the Zeus v3 trojan virus so update your antivirus definitions now. If you still don't have an antivirus software, scroll down below to download one for FREE.

The Zeus v3 trojan virus hit Britain hard with more than 3000 victims and a haul of more than half a million pounds though, according to the security firm M86, all victims were customers of just one online bank in Britain which is still unnamed probably due to security reasons. Despite the Zeus v3 attack being singled out in Britain, the security experts have not ruled out the possibility of an even wider coverage of trojan virus attacks.

Trojan viruses like the Zeus v3 are very tricky and hide in websites, emails or downloads. Once installed on a computer they can record every type of the keyboard, steal confidential information or even open up a PC's security so that it can be controlled remotely from another country. So be careful how you conduct your online money transactions.

Swype.. It's Time To Swipe And Stop Tapping..

I woke up late in the morning, my very technogoogler friend popped a buzz and message on my screen for a new review for my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i and for the sake of my fellow Android users. Here's my review about Swype, a new input software for Android which allows the user to swipe as a way to inputting text, keys and symbols when composing SMS, Emails, making posts and comments in Social Networking Sites or even typing an URL over the traditional way of inputting on touch screen devices.
