Google Desktop Vulnerable to New Attack
Just one day after a security researcher showed how Google Inc.'s Firefox toolbar could be exploited in an online attack, a similar flaw has been discovered in the Google Desktop.
On Thursday, Google hacker Robert Hansen posted proof of concept details showing how attackers could use Google Desktop to launch software that had already been installed on the victim's computer.
The attack is hard to pull off and could not necessarily be used to install unauthorized software on the victim's PC, but it does illustrate the kind of security issues that arise with Web-based applications, said Hansen, the CEO of Web security consultancy Sectheory.com, and a contributor to the Ha.ckers.org Web site.
"When you have third parties writing code that interacts with your browser, it inherently breaks the browser security model," he said.
To exploit Hansen's Google Desktop vulnerability, an attacker would first have to launch a successful "man-in-the-middle" attack, somehow placing himself between the victim and Google's servers. This could by done by tricking the victim into logging onto a malicious wireless network, Hansen said.
Once this was done, the hacker could launch Hansen's attack by changing the Web pages being delivered to the victim's PC. By returning Web pages that have been doctored with new JavaScript code, the victim could be tricked into clicking onto a malicious link, Hansen said. "When they actually click that mouse button, they're not clicking on the Web page, they're clicking on a link to Google Desktop that actually runs code, " he said.
The steps Hansen took to pull off the attack are complex because of the security features that Google has built into its software, he added. "What I've done is combine a lot of different attacks that Google desperately tries to prevent."
On Wednesday researcher Christopher Soghoian showed how a man-in-the-middle attack could be used to install malicious software on computers that used a variety of popular Firefox add-ons, including the toolbars from Google, Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), and AOL LLC.
Hansen has posted a video showing how this attack could be used to launch Windows HyperTerminal. But it could be used to launch virtually any application that has already been installed on the PC, he said.
This is not the first bug in Google Desktop. In February, engineers at Watchfire Corp. showed how a flaw in the program's Advanced Search Feature could be used to gain access to data or even run unauthorized software on a victim's computer.
Two days after the Watchfire bug was disclosed, Hansen himself showed how attackers could steal information from Google Desktop users using what is called an anti-DNS (Domain Name System) pinning attack.
Google was not immediately available to comment for this story.
No...This is imposibble , how you can publish a application if is not sure?? a big "-" to Google for this stuff!! Tip for google : Check them before you publish it , and after you are sure is safe you publish it!!!

Japanese robot dances to iPod musicTOKYO
TOKYO - A Japanese robot twists and rolls to music from an iPod in an intricate dance based on complex mathematics, a technology developers say will enable robots to move about spontaneously instead of following preprogrammed motions.
Tokyo-based venture ZMP Inc.'s 14-inch long Miuro robot — which looks like a white ball wedged between two halves of an egg — wheels about in time with music from the iPod player that locks into the machine.
At a demonstration in Tokyo on Thursday, the 11-pound Miuro pivoted about on a stage in time to beats of a pop music track played through its speakers. The dance wasn't preprogrammed, but generated by the robot itself.
Scientists involved in the robot's development believe the technology could lead to robots capable of spontaneous motion. Miuro uses algorithms, or mathematical rules, to analyze music and translate the beats into dances, said ZMP President Hisashi Taniguchi.
"We aim to create a new form of life that moves freely and spontaneously in ways human beings can't predict," Taniguchi said. "We're hoping to turn Miuro into the ultimate virtual pet."
Unlike older Miuros, which hit stores last August, the prototype is fitted with software based on what scientists call chaotic itinerancy, a mathematical pattern similar to the movements of a bee circling from flower to flower as it collects nectar.
That allows the new Miuro to act spontaneously and unpredictably — "just like a child playing," said Tokyo University researcher Takashi Ikegami, who developed the software.
Other improvements will let users set the Miuro like an alarm clock so it wheels into the bedroom and blasts music at a certain time. Future versions of the Miuro will also use built-in sensors to seek out people to play tunes to, Taniguchi said.
ZMP has already shipped 500 units of the original Miuro, which isn't equipped with the intelligent software but instead responds to a remote-control handheld manipulator.
The 108,800 yen ($895) original Miuro can also receive wireless signals from a personal computer to play iTunes and other stored digital files. Separately sold options add a camera that beams images to PCs or lets owners control their Miuros by mobile phone.
Miuro, short for "music innovation based on utility robot technology," is only on sale in Japan. ZMP did not give a date for the release of the prototype.

Bill Gates a scos interfata viitorului
Microsoft Surface este un ecran care functioneaza prin atingere, fara sa fie nevoie de tastatura sau de mouse, precum in filmul SF „Minority Report“.
Microsoft a dezvaluit marti o categorie de produse numita Surface Computing, de la care care spera sa ii aduca miliarde de dolari, relateaza editia online a publicatiei „BusinessWeek“. Folosind un ecran cu o suprafata relativ mare, de 30 de inch, de tip tabletop, intr-o maniera similara celei din filmul „Minority Report“, utilizatorii interactioneaza cu interfata prin atingere, renuntind total la interfetele traditionale pentru utilizatori.
Interfata Surface Computing a fost proiectata sa fie complet intuitiva, fara sa fie necesare instructiuni de folosire sau training pentru a invata cum sa interactionezi cu suprafata respectiva. Persoanele folosesc Microsoft Surface selectind obiecte cu degetele, apoi miscindu-le sau configurind diferite file gen fotografii sau harti.
Microsoft Surface functioneaza in prezent pe baza a patru proprietati principale. Prima este „interactiune directa“ si permite utilizatorilor sa „prinda“ obiecte pe ecran cu miinile sau cu degetele si sa le miste in mod natural pe toata suprafata ecranului.
A doua proprietate se numeste „multiatingere“ si face ca suprafata sa recunoasca puncte de atingere multiple in acelasi timp. Acest lucru permite utilizatorilor sa gestioneze obiecte precum fotografii sau grupuri de fotografii, atingind doua puncte in acelasi timp si aducindu-le pe acestea laolalta sau departindu-le pentru a mari sau micsora obiectele. Aceeasi miscare „multiatingere“ permite efectuarea unui „zoom“ in cazul unei harti pe ecran. Functia a treia se numeste „multiutilizator“ si permite, asa cum ii spune numele, ca mai multi utilizatori sa interactioneze in acelasi timp cu suprafata, colaborind in cadrul unei aplicatii in timp real.
Proprietatea finala pe care o are interfata este „recunoasterea obiectelor“, prin care suprafata recunoaste obiecte care sint plasate pe ea cu un tip de cod de bare, identificind obiectul si afisind instant informatii reprezentative despre acesta.
Microsoft Surface va fi livrata initial doar citorva companii selectate cu atentie, cu citeva aplicatii de baza pentru ca societatile sa poata proba produsul pentru clientii lor. Harrah’s Entertainment, Starwood Hotels&Resorts si T-Mobile vor fi printre primele companii care vor beneficia de Microsoft Surface, la preturi cuprinse intre 5.000 si 10.000 de dolari.
„Consumatorii au acum un mod cu totul nou de a obtine informatiile de care au nevoie, fapt care le va transforma obligatiile zilnice in experiente placute si captivante. Exista sute de mii de restaurante, hoteluri si magazine de retail care cauta sa ofere clientilor experientele unice si memorabile pe care le va oferi Surface. De asemenea, companiile au acum o noua oportunitate pentru a genera venituri suplimentare si pentru a creste traficul de retail“, a precizat Pete Thompson, director general pentru Microsoft Surface Computing, in cadrul unui comunicat de presa.
Plimbari virtuale la 360 de grade
Incepand de ieri, utilizatorii Google Maps beneficiaza de o noua functionalitatea a programului, atat on-line, cat si off-line, "street view", prin care se pot avea o vedere panoramica la 360 de grade, ca si cum ar fi la nivelul solului.
Desi nu este primul serviciu care ofera harti pe Internet ce au implementata aceasta facilitate, este important ca Google a reusit sa-i prinda din urma pe rivalii de la Microsoft si Amazon care au functia de "street view" integrata in serviciile online Live Maps si A9, de acum doua luni, respectiv de anul trecut.
Utilizatorul este adus din fata calculatorului direct in strada, la nivelul solului, oferindu-i-se posibilitatea de a se roti la 360 de grade, de a merge inainte si inapoi. Momentan, o astfel de "plimbare virtuala" se poate realiza numai pe anumite strazi predefinite din San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Denver si Miami.
Oficialii Google estimeaza ca in trei-patru luni de zile vor reusi sa acopere in totalitate toate metropolele din SUA si Canada, iar pana la sfarsitul anului sa extinda acoperirea si asupra mai multor capitale din lume, printre care Viena, Paris, Tokio, Kuala Lumpur si Moscova.
"Street view" nu se limiteaza numai la transmiterea imaginilor din zonele indicate de utilizatori, ci ofera si o serie de informatii turistice, indicand prezenta hotelurilor, a barurilor si restaurantelor, precum si a celor mai importante obiective turistice din zona in care "se plimba" internautul.

One seventh of UK citizens wish for a house in Romania, Bulgaria
One British citizen out of seven thinks about the opportunity of buying properties in Romania or Bulgaria, after the two countries became part of the European Union, a recent study indicates.
The number of UK citizens who visited Bulgaria increased 8%, up to 1.5 million individuals. Romania was visited until 2004 by 1.5 million UK citizens.
"The accession of the two countries represents a key-opportunity for investments", says John Triton, sales manager for the MRI Overseas Property agency.
"Based on our previous experience with East European Countries, we can tell there is still room for property price growth in both Romania and Bulgaria", Triton added.

Basescu: Government's resignation and early elections would have been normal
In the speech held today in front of the reunited Parliamentarian chambers president Traian Basescu reminded the dignitaries that 75% of the populace vote in favor of his return to office and against their attempt to suspend him.
"In a country governed by true democracy, the result of the referendum would have automatically caused the Government to resign and to organize early elections. I am sad to see that some of our officials continue to support the 'original' democracy", said Basescu.
After demonstrating that the only democratic solution would be the early elections, Basescu enumerated the priorities he pleaded for during the referendum campaign, including an unicameral, or at least less numerous Parliament, an "Europe - compliant" Constitution, more money and less centralization for the education system, a better health care system and more attention to the civil organizations when in front of a critical decision.
"Three quarters - 322, a number that was heard of all around the world - of the Parliament voted in favor of my suspension, and also three quarters of the populace voted for my return. As a mediator between the people and the political class, I am here to tell you that some of the Parliamentarians no longer represent the will of their electors.
In the 2004 elections, as well as on May 19, the Romanians voted for a better governing of their country. I have to signal you that an abyss has grown between you and those who elected you.
After the consultations I had with the parties, I understand - and I regret - that early elections are not an acceptable solution welcome by any of the parties. But I remind you that elections are coming this year for the European Parliament and next year for the local elections.
It is preposterous to have, after the results of the referendum, any pretension to keep representing the electors", Basescu added.
