Krashlander Tech Preview #3

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

This is the 3rd tech preview of my latest game, Krashlander. In this video, I'm testing the landscape system for the game. The little gray dots show the collidable part of the landscape.
This video also shows my first crack at what the Krashlander character is going to look like. I am pretty happy with the look. I'd love to know what others think.

To follow dev progress for this game, follow my blog (www.farseergames.com/blog) or follow on Twitter (FarseerGames).

HTC Slaps Cease And Desist Order On Illegal ROM Distributor

HTC has sent a cease and desist letter to ROM distributor Shipped ROMs. According to Engadget, the big deal here is HTC is against the site hosting ROMs that should otherwise be available only on HTC or carrier partner servers. HTC told Engadget that they try to take a hand's off approach to modded ROMs, but they cannot tolerate the distribution of plain vanilla ROMs. Does that make sense to you?

Hotmail gets Exchange ActiveSync support

Windows Live Hotmail is slated to officially receive Exchange ActiveSync support sometime this summer. However, while nothing has been announced, it appears this support is already active.

Liveside.net is reporting some users are having success in syncing their Hotmail accounts through ActiveSync. Through trial and error, the server address has been identified as m.hotmail.com, SSL should be enabled, and you leave the domain blank. Obviously you enter in your username and password accordingly.

If you're feeling adventurous, give it a try but remember, this isn't an official announcement so there may be performance issues present. Also, with ActiveSync only able to sync with one Exchange Server, you will have to delete your existing data. Make sure you have things backed up before giving it a whirl.

In reading the Windows Live Hotmail FAQ Sheet, calendar and contact support is also present with Exchange ActiveSync. There's no mention of task synchronization which may be a downside for some.

It's nice to see ActiveSync support coming to Windows Live and Hotmail. It may make the choice between Windows Live and Google a little more difficult to make.

Microsoft is paying developers for iPhone ports on WiMo7

According to our industry watch sister site PocketGamer.biz, Microsoft is trying to court successful iPhone developers and hoping to tempt them into porting their games to Windows Phone 7 with upfront cash payments.

Our anonymous source won't be taking the bait. While the cash incentive is "substantial", it's not enough in comparison to the cost of reworking games from iPhone developer language C++ to Windows Phone 7's XNA or Silverlight platforms.

But it does show that Microsoft is dedicated to providing a rich line-up of games when the fleet of devices launches this autumn. Whether or not any iPhone developers will accept the incentive remains to be seen.

They became known to detail about the service of testing before the purchase of programs in Windows Of phone 7

The company Of microsoft demonstrated the possibility of the service of testing programs for Windows Of phone 7 before the purchase. The shown version in some moments proved to be better than the analogous possibility, proposed in the stores of applications for iPhone or Android. Instead of the developer of program would creating of two different appendices (paid and free/test) new API for the trial programs he makes it possible to establish complete version as renovation. Also the resource of istartedsomething published the series of the photographs, which demonstrate the work of the new interface Windows Of phone 7.

Relative to the fact that will include the trial [trial]- version of program, then into Microsoft they tried to [selat] this moment by the also most flexible possible. API supports the possibility of designing of trial versions with the access to all functions of application limited on the time as well as the limited functionality or the built-in advertisement. If application seems user necessary, then it will unblock it, buying the complete version of program. In this case repeated load is not required and to enter anew into the store of applications it is not must - everything is achieved directly from the menu.

It is comparatively almost inaccessible at the present moment API, but into Microsoft they promise subsequently to enlarge possibilities on the creation of programs for the third persons. In this case function itself in Windows Of phone 7 seems very successfully, leaving the sufficiently wide field of possibilities on the creation of trial versions and reducing the total time necessary for the load of program.

Smartphone Malware Multiplies

More than twice the number of malware and spyware hitting BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Android phones than six months ago.

The number of malware and spyware programs found on smartphones has more than doubled in the past six months -- and some types of malware are more prevalent on certain smartphone platforms than others.

New data gathered from users of a free smartphone security tool shows the bad guys are increasingly going after smartphone users. According to Lookout, which offers a free lightweight mobile client with cloud-based security, backup, and anti-theft features, there were about nine pieces of malware and spyware per 100 smartphones as of last month -- more than twice as many as in November 2009.

Even more worrisome is how rapidly these threats are hitting smartphones in comparison to the desktop: What took 15 years to evolve with the desktop machine is happening practically overnight in mobile handsets, security experts say. "We call this the 1999 factor: It feels like about 10 years ago in terms of prevalence of threats. There was a tipping point between 2000 and 2002 [for PC threats] that was driven by broadband" and more consumers going online, according to John Hering, CEO and founder of Lookout, formerly Flexilis. "The same trends are going to hold true here [with smartphones]."

Tyler Shields, senior security researcher with Veracode, says he has seen a definite uptick in malware arriving for smartphones during the past few months. "It's coming at a much faster rate now. It's difficult to quantify the amount of growth," however, he says. Shields earlier this year developed and released proof-of-concept source code for a spyware app he created that forces a BlackBerry to hand over its contacts and messages. The spyware can also can grab text messages, listen in on the victim, as well as track his physical location via the phone's GPS.

Spyware is the main type of malware Lookout sees being created for BlackBerrys, while Windows Mobile phones suffer more from traditional malware, and Androids from a little of both, according to Lookout's data. "We're seeing a pretty equal spread [of the threats] across these platforms," Lookout's Hering says. The firm doesn't yet support the Apple iPhone in its app, so data on the iPhone isn't included.

Why mostly spyware on the BlackBerry? Veracode's Shields says it might be due to the heavy corporate use of BlackBerrys, which would make any data lifted from them more easily monetized. "The type of data on a BlackBerry generally is going to be corporate-centric and could be of interest to attackers," he says.

A recent malware attack against Windows Mobile phones basically took an existing, legitimate smartphone app and booby-trapped it with malware: The 3D Anti-Terrorist app game for Windows Mobile was rewritten with auto-dialer malware, according to Lookout's Hering. The app basically fires up the auto-dialer malware when the user runs the game. "It sits dormant for hours or days, and then wakes up and calls numbers at a premium rate -- from Somalia to the South Pole," for instance, he says. "The victim is then incurring charges but doesn't notice until [he] receives the phone bill."

A Windows codec and poker app also were hijacked, copied, and repackaged with malware. The apps are being distributed via typical mobile download and app store sites, such as sharewareplaza.com, geardownload.com, myzips.com, and top4download.com. "We're seeing the same evolution on mobile as on the desktop: It's going from notoriety [purposes] to trying to profit," Hering says.

The malware attack vector being used against smartphones isn't the SMS or email spam that was all the rage in the early days of mobile attacks. Instead, it's following smartphone user behavior trends and exploiting downloadable applications, experts say. "Users are downloading apps at a huge pace," Hering says.

And smartphones are actually more "personal" than PCs. They include GPS location, payment information, email, text messages, and records of who a user communicates with. Hering says today's smartphone malware is all about grabbing personal information and, now, attempting to monetize it. "On the spyware side, you can imagine an app grabbing personal data that you're unaware of [occurring] and transmitting that to a third-party location" where it can be resold, for example, he says.

Meanwhile, enterprises should be aware of the risks of breaches via their smartphone users. "They should be worried about this," Hering says.

But the likelihood of another Operation Aurora-scale targeted attack isn't as likely to hit via the smartphone just yet: "At this point in time, the PC [attack] model is so much easier and faster. I don't foresee that level of coordination to target mobile devices at this point," Veracode's Shields says.

SciLor's LeoCameraAnyKey v0.2.5 - Volume keys as camera trigger/zoom!

SciLor's LeoCameraAnyKey v0.2.5



The problem with those new Devices is that they lack of hardkeys. The HD2, Touch HD, HD Mini and Touch Pro 2 lack of a camera button. Why use the touchscreen when you may use your volume keys to take a photo and zoom in/out .

Devices that are proven to be working:
-HTC HD2 aka. HTC Leo
-HTC Touch HD aka. HTC Blackstone
-HTC Touch Pro 2
-HTC HD Mini
-HTC Touch Diamond 2


Just install, close any open HTC Camera windows and run it over one of my icons. If you are able to change to volume, update your HTC Camera.

Following versions should work:
-v6.26 1922.1732
-v6.26.2012.1425
