A spyware "PC Security 2009"
Last night, my friend has opened an e-card in her email box. And then her computer restarted. After that, her anti-virus software(Avest) was keeping to popup some virus warning. Besides of Avest!, I found there is a software, "PC Security 2009" kept to popup as well. This software look and feel, icons look very very similar with Windows. But I found the software has not "About ..." Information. I did a google search, there is a spyware which is pretending itself as anti-virus. Please be careful!

Chrome OS
Google announced they will start a new project, Chrome OS. Chrome OS is open source and run in x86 and ARM CPU. That is different from Android and a brand new project. That is targeted at a small netbook market.
Well, that makes me to remember gOS. gOS is a linux distro which is a kind of Google Apps Enabled Linux and some netbooks are using that as OS too. I am woundering whether Chrome OS like gOS to use Linux?!

Skype in Android - Part 2
I have installed Skype in HTC Magic from Android Market. That is Skype Lite. That is different from Skype Mobile Version in Windows Mobile. It cannot support SMS. And I tried SkypeIn, it seems to be not working. Moreover, I tried SkypeOut, that needs to dail a local number. For voice chating, it needs to dail a local number as well. But the text chating, it supports that. For VOIP, I think we still need to wait for the full version available in Android.
