Malware sneaking into Android market.
Thank’s to Google’s “open” application marketplace (ie: No review process, post what you like), already 1% of the Apps on there have been detected as having Malware included in them – including several that were posing as Bank Apps and simply capturing your Bank details and sending them off to someone else.
The iTunes App store is a pain in the ass for developers for a reason – it stops assholes doing crap like this.

You probably don’t think about comparing the quality of a screen – it’s all about the size and number of pixels: Just like we compare digital cameras using megapixels.
Just shows that comparing basic specs and pricing is no match for comparing the experience of a device.

Very happy to re-launch my geek & tech blog.
Over Xmas 2009 I decided to revamp some of my blogs with a goal to using them a lot more in 2010. Spent a lot of time going through some WordPress designs and plugins, working out how to mod them a bit more, and deciding what is going to be blogged where.
Down Under Geek will be my main blog for geek news, reviews, thoughts and opinions. I’ll still be maintaining 360mac but it will likely just be a collection of Mac stories from here and another unannounced blog I’m still working on.
A new blog – MichaelQ.com.au will be my “personal” daily blog for whatever stuff happens to come along.
I’ve updated the RSS feed for the site, so please update your readers.
