Here in Saudi Arabia we have lots of nurses leaving in the hospital accommodation and some of them does not have an Internet connection at their room accommodation, So they usually pay a lot by connecting their mobile phone thru their laptop just to get connection. Although most of the time they fail to connect. And there are lots of OFW leaving in a isolated place where Internet connection is not available.

The 3.75G equipped Eee PC will allow users to download data at up to 7.2Mbps. Asus are launching the 3.75G equipped Eee PC 901 in October this year, so expect most phone companies to start offering this laptop for free when purchasing a plan with a contract.

I remember the days when I use to watch cartoon movies, and one cartoon movies that I remember is the Mighty Mouse, a 2D cartoon series of a superhero that look like a mouse.

The cartoon series was own by CBS, They own the copyright of using Mighty Mouse in the Cartoon Series.

Later on when MAC decided to make a branded mouse they bought the name Mighty Mouse from CBS and use it as their brand name.

But I have read a report that MAC and CBS are being sued for trademark infringement by a competing interface manufacturer. Man and Machine is claiming that they have the full rights to use the name since they have been selling its Mighty Mouse product waterproof and chemical resistant mice under the same name to labs and hospitals Earlier than MAC.

Man and Machines now argues that CBS didn’t have the right to offer Apple the license to the name, as the CBS trademark on the name doesn’t cover goods in that category. Man and Machines argues it holds the trademark for use of the Mighty Mouse name in conjunction with an interface controller. Alongside the legal case it is also challenging the CBS trademark with a filing at the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Now whom do you think the real owner ?, So it is really important to have your brand name protected. Hmm.. I am now thinking of having my website name patented under me

Cyber criminals are stepping up their focus on the Middle East, authorities are warning following the busting of an online fraud ring that targeted Dubai. Last week’s announcement by authorities that an online fraud gang had been pretending to offer financial services out of the Dubai International Financial Centre has highlighted the dangers firms here in the region are facing. David Knott, CEO of the Dubai Financial Services Authority, warned last week that such attacks will “increasingly” occur in the Middle East.

“The Middle East is becoming a new target for those cyber crimes because [people] are engaging more in technologies and connecting to networks around the world. The more connections, the more vulnerabilities you will have,” Dr Abdulrahman Al-Shenafi, senior adviser on IT and security to the Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia told IT Weekly.

Companies in the banking, hospitality and travel sectors, which are growing their online presence, are particularly at risk, but “any large corporation or business online that has a significant income from these websites,” would be a target for cyber crime, according to Rashed Al-Abbar, product manager esecurity at Etisalat.

If this could happen in the Middle East, It could also happen anywhere. So everybody should be aware of this news, even you are in Middle East or in Philippines.
