Sue Denim paints a bleak future for online life as new threats continue to plage 2010 with lots of nastiness in the form of Botnets, malicious applications and social networking malware. Some may be petty annoyances like the Facebook cause malware to the more serious Conficker worm. Even the Mac is not spared as it has experienced its first virus in years.

This article echoes the sentiment of content providers, not just here in our industry, when it comes to getting one's content approved in the iPhone Apps Store. Sue Denim relates how CutestGirls.com may have been a cautionary tale, but with a happy ending. But not after a three month grueling approval process.

Another form of media that the industry is looking into is the creation of more applications in the burgeoning IPTV market. From the small screen of an iPhone to the remote controlled WebTV that allows people to stream videos on their television, the porn industry is testing the waters to see more viable avenues for adult content.

It all started when Facebook got pissed off when their own apps haven't translated well into the iPhone (and most mobile phones for that matter). It had gotten so bad that they stopped forwarding apps to iPhone to approve in disgust. They hope that this gives Apple some time to clean up their act.

In a few months, things are going to get ugly in Apple, people. And the root of that furor is called "enforcement routine". These are two words that once Steve Jobs gets to have the patent approved and finalized will make a lot of people very angry. Reading Bob Preston's article is already making me go up in arms!

If you want to keep your sensitive files from prying eyes, then don't use Google Docs. Because apparently, the software is now enabled to make your files to be published online. What's worse, you won't even know if your docs had been made public or not. You only know after the fact.

Even though a lot of people scoffed at it for being a relic of the Nineties, ICQ continues to serve the online porn industry as one of the main IM's of choice to this day. Though its performance leaves a lot to be desired, people (especially webmasters and porn site owners) still use it grudgingly.

Registering your content into social networking and bookmarking sites, and managing them with updates can be a pain in the ass. It usually takes me a whole afternoon to start this off manually and another week to fully keep the networking thing going. I often use Ping.fm if I have too many sites that needs connectivity.

You probably heard of the "Amp Up Before You Score"" brouhaha (and got over it).
You may also know that a lot of people were offended by it. The ad basically
features many ways for a guy to "score" with chicks. And do it in such a magnanimously
non-PC way.

Google's highly touted yet mildly popular browser has been given a makeover. Now, it has new features that supposedly makes surfing a little more pleasurable, which for me just means less time to wait for Javascript functions to kick in. I just hope the good and fun parts of the previous Chromes are intact here (Incognito, hello?).
