Push-mobile email is now available to a whole new category of mobile users, with more than 800 handsets added to the mobile email mix. Standard-grade handsets previously considered 'dumber' than Blackberry handsets, Smartphones or Windows Mobile devices, can get very smart with emoze.
Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola and Samsung users will be able to get emoze push mail on their handsets. The deployment will be in stages; Nokia Series40 handsets will be the first to be added, followed shortly after by the rest.

Google Launched Knol Like Wikipedia
"The Web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the Web," said Cedric Dupont, a Google product manager and Michael McNally, a Google software engineer, in a blog post. "An enormous amount of information resides in people's heads: millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge. Knol will encourage these people to contribute their knowledge online and make it accessible to everyone."
Knol's means of encouragement is Google's AdSense program. At authors of Knols -- otherwise known as articles -- may, if they dislike toiling on Google's behalf for free, include ads from Google's AdSense program alongside their contributed content, which can be words or images.
The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.
With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call "moderated collaboration." With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public. This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it!
Knol differs from Wikipedia in that each Knol has a designated author. That author may have collaborators, but all payments go to the primary author. If there's any revenue division to be done, that's left to team members to sort out.
Knol's collaboration model is also more hierarchical than Wikipedia's. Article collaborators can suggest changes but cannot make them without the author's approval. While this authorial bottleneck may lead to Knol being less timely than Wikipedia, which often reflects breaking news minutes after events occur, it should prevent the revision wars that plague controversial Wikipedia articles.

Blogspot.com cited as the No. 1 host for malware
In its Security Threat Report for the first half of 2008, Sophos says it finds just over 16,000 malicious pages each day, mostly the result of malicious SQL-injection attacks on legitimate Web sites such as the attack on Sony's U.S. PlayStation site in July. Tricks used by criminal hackers include using simple HTML code to place via SQL-injection a 1x1 pixel element (about the size of a pin prick) on an infected page. In loading the page, the Internet browser would then contact a server running exploit scripts and malicious code. But because the sites are legitimate, some security vendors struggle with blocking infected Web pages.
As for illegitimate sites, Sophos notes that Geocities and Blogger both make it easy for anyone to set up a Web site without much identification. Blogger, owned by Google, is particularly problematic, says Sophos, with the blog site alone accounting for nearly 2 percent of all malware hosts. I is not only possible for the Blogger sites to host malicious code, but criminal attackers can also inject links to malicious sites in the comments sections of the blogs.
A spokeperson for Google said "Google takes the security of our users very seriously, and we work hard to protect them from malware. Using Blogger, or any Google product, to serve or host malware is a violation of our product policies. We actively work to detect and remove sites that serve malware from our network."
