Commwarrior Mobile Phone Virus Arrives in the UK
(ContentDesk) June 28, 2005 -- On the 27 of June www.Mobilephonevirus.com received a cry for help from mobile phone user Kathryn Wilson of Essex. Kathryn had recently returned from a summer holiday cruising around the Mediterranean. Whilst on the ship her phone started to receive constant prompts to accept a file from an anonymous phone. After declining to accept the file all morning she eventually accepted it. Her phone then displayed the message installing Commwarrior.On retuning home Kathryn started to notice that the credit on her Nokia 6600 was being used up very quickly.
She also noticed that her phone seemed to be constantly trying to send messages. On checking her sent items list she discovered that her phone had been sending MMS messages to all the people in her phone book. Commwarrior had struck. Commwarrior works by trying to send itself by Bluetooth to any phone in the vicinity. The files that Comwarrior sends are named with random file names, so that users cannot be warned to avoid files with any given name.
In addition of spreading over Bluetooth the Commwarrior will also read the users local address book for phone numbers, and start sending MMS messages containing the Commwarrior file.Kathryn said "I knew something was wrong when my friends started to ask me what the file was that I had sent to them. I didn't even know I had sent anything to them." She added, "now some of my mates have been infected and they can't seem to stop their phones from sending it on to their contacts. It's a nightmare!"Mobilephonevirus.com managed to point Kathryn in the direction of an anti virus tool that will remove the commwarrior virus. Founder Sam Blakeman said, "When I spoke to Kathryn it became evident that this was the first confirmed case of commwarrior in the UK. I quickly got in touch and told her how to remove the virus.
My only concern is that Kathryn manages to get this information out to her other friends so we can stop commwarrior before it spreads." He Added, Mobilephonevirus.com offers a free alert service to inform people of any virus outbreaks and how to remove them if they are infected. We hope that in providing this service we can reduce the problems that people like Kathryn suffered..
Never run out of juice again!
So it's high noon in the middle of the desert.
Ok let's not be as extreme
Let's
say late afternoon on the subway back from work, where you notice that you forgot to charge your cell phone. You're expecting that all important call, when just as the phone rings, it goes the familiar dead-looking screen of the depleted battery.
Ok first some perspective:
One of the first and most challenging problems for mobile device makers (cell phones, I-Pods, Game Boys, or mobile computers)
is the energy issue. Over my career I've seen dozens of companies who have tried to tackle this problem from many different perspectives. Ultimately, -let's face it for better (if you are a battery maker) or for worse (if you own anything mobile)
until we get the atomic battery going, most of the solutions that I will describe below are less than perfect.
Now to what's out there:
1. the standard wall socket...

The Ley Lines of a Semi-Retired Drainage System
There seems to be at times, a fine line between enthusiasm and frenzied delight, and with Miranda Krestovnikoff, who presents BBC 2's Hidden Treasure, that line is all too frequently blurred.Still, perhaps I'm being a little too hard on the poor girl. After all, it's her enthusiasm that caused me to go out the other day and buy a metal detector. I'd like to think that I'm the only one to have done this, at least in my town, but regrettably, I suspect I'm in the majority?After all, I went into one of the local shops on the day of purchase, asking if they did indeed sell metal detectors, and this young man serving behind the counter immediately asked if I'd been watching BBC 2 recently. I didn't know how to take this. Now obviously, he'd sussed me but ? well, was that good manners on his part, or just cheeky perception? I mean, had I gone into my local branch of M & S and been caught perusing the boxer shorts, I think I'd have taken umbrage, had a shop assistant inquired if I'd recently...
