iPhone, gizmo of the year!

My husband thinks I am a geek but I am no geek compared to the thousands of people nationwide, who spent days lined up outside the AT&T stores to get their iPhones. Personally, I think they are crazy.

iPhone has some outstanding features including music player, web browser, wireless phone, GPS with touch screen, all in one small package, but it comes at a premium price. A 4GB iPhone comes for 499USD and a 8GB will run you about 599USD with a two year service contract with AT&T. To top it off, you still have to pay for the service itself which can run you about hundred dollars more per month!

I am happy with my Motorola Verizon phone for now. I have the chance to upgrade my phone now and I could get the Motorola razor for free. I am glad I did not spend 400USD to get my razor, just as I don’t intend to purchase my iPhone right now. I am sure once Apple launches its next gizmo, the price of iPhone will automatically go down. That is when I will get my first. But if anyone was thinking about buying one for me, by all means, go ahead!!! :)

Zotob Virus

The company I work for is a healthcare firm. Needless to say how important it is to have a robust and reliable IT backbone. All was well until Aug 15th, when we realized that 840 of our workstations were affected by this nasty worm called “Zotob”. The worm causes the computer to spontaneously reboot.

The Zotob worm started spreading on August 14, but mainly affected systems running Windows 2000. If you are running Windows 2000 based workstation, you maybe at risk. Is your Windows 2000 machine spontaneously rebooting? Are you having trouble with login?? If you have not experienced any symptoms you still need to visit Windows Update to obtain the patch. To get the hotfix from microsoft click here.

Zotob suspects were finally arrested in Turkey and Morocco. For more information, click here
