Audio-Technica QuietPoint ANC7b – T3’s First Sighting

T3 Singapore’s Most Wanted – September!: Our first sighting of the rather magnificent looking Audio-Tech headset… that’s more than just a little quiet… Award-winning QuietPoint active noise-cancelling technology has seen this second rendition of its iconic Audio-Technica headset take to the street in style.

 

Not only are these portable headgear, easily stowed away, it also ranks well in the comfort arena.

Built for the busy individual who seeks for some of that ‘silent treatment’ within a noisy setting, this all-new ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones not only simulates a vacuum-like surrounding for the best audio sound, it also reduces background noise of up to 85%.

For ease of use, the QuietPoint can be folded flat for easy stowaway and include a detachable cable for utilizing its noise-cancelling functionality without any audio playback. Great for in-flight entertainment

Looks great on the ladies as well. Do note its rather small footprint when compared with other deluxe models, that weigh heavy on the head due to its humongous sizing.

Kaspersky Lab Detects 25 Millionth Malicious Programme

Kaspersky Lab, one of the top developers in securing  content-management solutions, has apparently gotten a quick whiff of its 25 millionth malicious programme. Let us just say ever since the malicious Millennium ‘all’s doomed’ bug, that failed to strike our CPUs units invalid, we still have a fear that our online identity would be threatened and worse, lost for ever.

Kaspersky Lab recently forecast a ten-fold increase in malicious programmes, from 2.2 million in 2007 to 20 million in 2008; which in human terms mean that we aren’t at all secure whenever we log online. Still, cybercrimes are all the more prolific, even flourishing as conventional stores (which cost more than a pretty penny) are moving onto cyber space. 

Known as a new modification of Koobface, that was detected by the specialists at Kaspersky Lab on 9 June, this notorious bug became the 25 millionth malicious programme added to the company’s anti-virus databases.  Net-Worm.Win32.Koobface targets users of the popular social-networking sites Facebook and MySpace. Basically, it steals your mug and passwords, and passes itself off at you. In other words, a SPAMMER! 

The worm uses a simple propagation method: users of social-networking sites receive what appears to be a message from a friend containing a link to a video clip on an unknown site.  When users attempt to play the video, they are prompted to update Flash Player. Instead of an update, however, a Koobface worm is installed that contains backdoor functionality allowing instructions from a remote-management server to be run on the computer. Whatever the case, get your very own virus protection software before it is too late. Because you never know what might be lurking right outside your firewall…
