Hands-On With the Changers Solar Charger
I live in sunny Spain, so there’s no problem charging gadgets with solar energy pretty much all year round. The problem has been cost and practicality. Until now. For the past month or so I have been testing the Changers solar charger, a rugged, lightweight solar panel and battery. Changers comes in two main parts. [...]

Symantec, Lookout Mobile Security debate latest Android ?malware? attack (Appolicious)
If you have an Android device, malware threats are nothing new, just something with which you?ve learned to deal. Mobile security companies usually alert the public when any major malware or Trojan threat is discovered in the Android Market, but rarely do they disagree over what?s actually considered malware. This question?s been raised in regards to the latest string of Android Market botnets uncovered by Symantec, in what could be the largest botnet setup in Android?s history with as many as 5 million victims.
Dubbed ?Android.Counterclank? (or ?Apperhand SDK?) by Symantec, the malware was packaged across 13 different Android apps from different publishers, with titles ranging from Sexy Girls Puzzle to Counter Strike Ground Force. ?They don't appear to be real publishers,? Kevin Haley, a director with Symantec's security response team, said in an interview today. ?These aren't rebundled apps, as we've seen so many times before.?
But Lookout Mobile Security doesn?t think that this differentiated behavior means it?s a malware attack. They posted a blog over the weekend explaining their reasons for disagreeing with Symantec?s assessment, saying Android.Counterclank isn?t malware at all. It?s certainly not something most Android users want on their devices, but Lookout finds no evidence of outright malicious behavior, saying their capabilities are more like aggressive ad networks that put search icons on your home screen and run ads through your notifications bar.
?Malware is defined as software that is designed to engage in malicious behavior on a device. Malware can also be used to steal personal information from a mobile device that could result in identity theft or financial fraud,? reads Lookout?s blog. ?Apperhand doesn?t appear to be malicious, and at this point in our investigation, this is an aggressive form of an ad network ? not malware.?
Money-hungry ads or malicious malware? It seems the industry experts can?t agree, and such disparity could significantly shake up the consumer market. The debate over malware?s core definition came up a few weeks back with the Carrier IQ debacle, leading to a massive consumer backlash as privacy advocates blasted the carrier-supported software. When it comes to Android.Counterclank we have yet another example of how the Android ecosystem is being exploited, and how little this market is controlled. The debate over Android.Counterclank could ultimately circle back to Google, which is increasingly being held accountable for the Android Market experience.

Belichick strives for consistent approach (AP)
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. ? Season opener or Super Bowl, every game is a big game to Bill Belichick.
His consistent approach to preparation for the next opponent, whether a powerhouse or a pushover, is the cornerstone of the coaching that has brought the New England Patriots to their fifth Super Bowl in 11 years.
The more intense the practices, the more prepared his players are for the game.
"You know what to expect week-in and week-out with him," wide receiver Matthew Slater said. "The attention to detail is always there. It doesn't matter if it's a bye week or if it's a divisional playoff round. He's committed to winning and that commitment never falters, no matter what the circumstance, no matter how much success we've had or how many games we may have lost in a row.
"That commitment to winning is always there."
During practices, Belichick strolls the field, sometimes twirling his whistle on a lanyard, other times stopping to talk with players. His daily message is simple ? get the fundamentals right and just do your own job while preparing for the uniqueness of the next opponent.
That's resulted in 10 straight victories, eight in the regular season and two in the playoffs. Another win on Feb. 5 against the New York Giants would give the Patriots their fourth Super Bowl championship.
"I think every game is a big game," Belichick said Tuesday. "Every time we get an opportunity to compete then we try to take advantage of the time leading up to that opportunity ? the practice week, the preparation, the film study, understanding our game plan and our adjustments, all of those kinds of things.
"What else is there to work on but the game, the next one on your schedule, the one that you're playing? You try to cover all your bases for that game, you play it, and then you start the process all over again with the next one."
Right guard Brian Waters played his first 11 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. But when he signed with the Patriots on Sept. 4, eight days before the season opener, he quickly sensed the difference in Belichick's style.
"I wasn't here in training camp but, from day one, I can tell that he's all about the details," Waters said. "He's all about everybody doing their own job and staying in their lane. Everybody has their own responsibilities. That's something that you learn early on and that's something that he still makes sure that we understand today."
Another part of the Belichick playbook: Don't focus on the past or far into the future, just on the next practice and the next game.
That's a big enough workload, considering how hard he pushes his players.
James Ihedigbo didn't start a game the past three seasons with the New York Jets, but did go to AFC championship games the past two seasons. The Jets lost both. This season he started 12 of 16 games at safety for the Patriots and reached the Super Bowl.
The Patriots are special, he said, "because we prepare. We prepare harder than any other place that I've played and it definitely gets you focused in on your opponent and knowing them and understanding their strengths and how they want to attack you.
"So that's what we're keyed in on this week."
And this season's playoff wins over Denver, 45-10, and Baltimore, 23-20, are fading rapidly from players' minds.
"It has been going on all year and you just have to put everything in the past," tight end Rob Gronkowski said. "If you have a good game, that is all over with and you just have to keep moving on forward to the future and make sure you have a good practice week."
Running back Stevan Ridley, drafted in the third round last April, was the team's second-leading rusher during the regular season. When the playoffs began, he didn't notice much difference in Belichick's intensity.
"You know coach Bill, man, every game is serious," Ridley said, "playoffs, regular season, preseason."
One of the Patriots' most veteran players, left tackle Matt Light, also has played for just one head coach. Drafted in 2001, only Tom Brady and Kevin Faulk have been with the team longer.
What stands out most about Belichick is his "consistency, just his ability to stay focused to the nth degree and do that repetitively, week-in and week-out," Light said. "It's not an easy thing, obviously, running a team and putting up with a lot of guys like myself and the rest of the knuckleheads in that locker room.
"But you know what? I think that coming in and setting that example with our entire coaching staff and how he approaches everything, it makes it easy for all of us to fall in line."

Christina Hendricks Gets Her Gaming On at Sundance | Celebrity ...
Posted Monday January 23, 2012 10:41 PM GMT
Showing off her inner-child, Christina Hendricks got her gaming on during a visit to the Nintendo 3DS Experience Lounge during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Monday (January 23).
The "Mad Men" beauty was joined by husband Geoffrey Arend as the pair pecked away at their own portable devices during the afternoon outing.
Having been in the rocky mountain locale since it started up this past Friday (January 20), Hendricks and Arend have fully immersed themselves in the Sundance doings - as they attended the CAA Party and visited the Stella Artois Lounge at The Lift on Sunday while hitting up the 'Save The Date' and 'End Of Love' Party at Stella Artois the previous night.
The trip to Sundance comes as Christina is getting closer and closer to the much-awaited fifth season premiere of her hit AMC show "Mad Men," which is slated to be a two-hour event taking place on March 25th.
Recently talking about her Joan character's sultry sashay on the Emmy winning series, the 36-year-old dished, ?I?m not really conscious of it when I work. All the mannerisms, the way that I become Joan ? my voice changes a little bit, the walk changes a little bit and the way I use my handshake changes a little bit so it just happens when I go to work, I?m not like that at home." She added, ?Definitely not. I get asked so much about the walk but it?s not me.?
Enjoy the pictures of Christina Hendricks at the Sundance Film Festival (January 21-23).
