Apple Aluminum Unibody
Users of Apple computers were today being warned to protect themselves after the existence of a new kind of worm virus emerged.
The Leap-A worm, which spreads through instant messaging program iChat, is thought to be the first virus for the Apple platform. It poses as a series of pictures which, when opened, allows the worm through a security loophole in order to implant itself in other programs.
Experts say it is easy for users to protect themselves, but that the arrival of malicious code should be a wake-up call to Mac users, who have been unaffected by viruses until now.
"The Leap-A worm isn't in itself a significant threat, but it should act as a helpful reminder that malware [malicious software] can be written for any computer," said Graham Cluley of anti-virus company Sophos.
"The bad news is that most people think the situation is going to get worse for Macintosh users, and more threats will be targeted against the Apple community. The good news is that most don't believe it will ever be as big a problem as the one Microsoft Windows faces."
Microsoft's Windows, which commands more than 90% of the home computer market, is a far more established target for virus writers. As many as 200 new pieces of malicious Windows code are discovered every day, but until now hackers have shied away from attempting to infiltrate Apple machines. Experts believe, however, that the recent popularity of the company's iPod music player could have spurred the arrival of Leap-A.
It is 20 years since the first widespread PC virus, Brain, hit computers around the world. But despite the lack of Apple viruses in the wild, users have been warned on previous occasions to be wary of potential threats. Bill Thompson, a technology columnist for the BBC, recently came under fire for saying that Mac owners were "too smug" about security issues.

Apple Users After New Security Scares
Users of Apple computers are being warned to stay alert after being hit by the latest in a series of security problems. The most recent flaw, which was discovered by a German student, could expose users to so-called "drive-by downloads".
It is the third serious flaw uncovered in the past week, following the emergence of the Leap-A Trojan, believed to be the first ever virus for the Macintosh, and the Inqtana Bluetooth exploit.
Some experts believe that the recent success of the Californian firm - it has now sold more than 42m iPods worldwide - has made it a target.

Generation Of Apple Computers
Despite losing ground to Microsoft and clone PCs, Macs still have a strong following, especially since an Apple Computer rarely becomes affected by viruses. Also, Mac enthusiasts, especially those in the design and journalism fields will attest to the power of the Macintosh in these environments.
Apple Computer is still adding new lines to the brand. Also, they once more revolutionized the computing industry a few years ago when they came out the the iPod.
iMac
This is the Company’s leading desktop computer, and the popular iPod was developed along with it. The introduction of the iMac in 1998 was directly responsible for Apple Computer’s rising profit margins.
Power Mac
This is Apple’s high end personal computer; it is also referred to as a Power Macintosh.
MacBook
The current Apple MacBook laptops come in three models, 1.83GHz, and two 2.0GHz, one white and one black; all using Intel Core Duo processors and equipped with 13-inch monitors. These replaced the previous PowerBook laptops.
MacBook Pro
This is the high-end version of the MacBook, designed especially for business and other professional applications. There are currently three models available, two 15.4-inch models, a 2GHz and a 2.16GHz version, as well as a 17-inch 2.16 GHz model.
Mac Mini
This PC is similar to the very first Apple I; the Mini Mac is the lowest price Mac on the market. This Mac is available in two versions and comes without a keyboard, monitor or mouse. They also use Intel processors.
Xserve
Apple’s contribution to the server business, Xserve, was first released in 2002. The Xserve can be used in a wide number of applications.

Apple Admits Board Minutes Were Falsified
Apple Computer yesterday admitted that records of the board meeting that handed chief executive Steve Jobs 7.5m share options were fabricated. But the independent committee investigating the illicit backdating of stock awards cleared Mr Jobs of wrongdoing.
Apple shares have been depressed during the week on fears that the company's annual report, which was delayed by the options investigation, would contain new information which might damage Mr Jobs's position. In its report published yesterday Apple reiterated the independent committee's findings from October that, while Mr Jobs "was aware or recommended the selection of some favourable grant dates, he did not receive or financially benefit from these grants or appreciate the accounting implications".
In a separate statement, the chairman of the special investigative committee, former presidential candidate Al Gore, and the head of Apple's audit and finance committee, Jerome York, said: "The board of directors is confident that the company has corrected the problems that led to the restatement, and it has complete confidence in Steve Jobs and the senior management team."
Apple is one of more than 160 US firms that have come under scrutiny for backdating stock or share options. The scandal of backdating, by which the exercise price of share options was set with the benefit of hindsight at favourable levels, has already led to the exit of several senior executives. Apple said yesterday that the mis-dating of 6,428 different share options packages awarded on 42 dates between 1997 and 2002 has cost it $105m (£53m) on a pre-tax basis.
Two option grants to Mr Jobs were scrutinised by the committee, which has handed its findings to the securities and exchange commission. While there was nothing untoward about the grant of 10m options on 12 January 2000, the paperwork governing a second tranche - of 7.5m granted on October 19 2001 - had been falsified.
The approval for the second grant of options "was improperly recorded as occurring at a special board meeting on October 19, 2001. Such a special board meeting did not occur," Apple said in its annual report. "There was no evidence, however, that any current member of management was aware of this irregularity."
The 7.5m options were given an exercise price of $18.03 on October 19 but they should actually have been dated December 18 at which time Apple's shares were trading at $21.01.
In fact both sets of options were cancelled in March 2003 before they were exercised. Apple said in its report the committee's investigation "raised serious concerns regarding the actions of two former officers in connection with the accounting, recording and reporting of stock options". It did not name the two people.

Compatibility With Windows Applications
In the early days there was little compatibility between Apple applications and Microsoft Windows applications. However, much has changed over the years, and many applications can be seamlessly shared between the two operating systems. This is especially true of the Max OS X Tiger which enables not only the sharing of files, but can co-exist peacefully on the same network. Sharing printers, scanners and other peripheral devices between Macs and PCs is now almost a non-issue, while there are still the occasional user who has problems sharing files between PCs and Macs, the difficulties have mostly be resolved. It is expected that within the next few years, there should be problems at all.
Best of all, in today’s highly wired world, where electronic mail is a way of life, now even email can be shared across Mac and PC platforms with minimal fuss. Apple started on the road to compatibility in 2003 when they resumed installing PC Compatible Cards into their systems. This was done in partnership with Dell Computers.
With so many businesses using Microsoft Windows, it was only natural that Apple made their systems compatible so that users could work across platforms. Nowhere is this compatibility more appreciated than in the freelancing world where clients and freelancers need to quickly and efficiently exchange files. The introduction of Intel processors in the current lines of Apple Computers has cemented this compatibility relationship across multiple-platforms.
Prior to this, users of Mac applications had to use third party software, like Stuffit Expander and Conversion Plus, to be able to access and work on files created with Microsoft applications. Also, the current generation of Macs now has Mac compatible Windows application suites which include everyday Windows applications, Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Microsoft Office for Mac can be used between Macs and PCs with no problem.

What Terabyte
Disadvantages: it's the most expensive desktop drive to date.
Besides these Samsung’s Spin Point F11 TB uses just three 334GB platters, a record in both areal density as well as platter capacity. By contrast, 1TB drives from Hitachi and Seagate use five 200GB and four 250GB platters, respectively. 7200rpm motors, 16MB or 32MB cache (depending on the model) and are designed for Serial ATA-300 interface with native command queuing. The manufacturer declares 8.9ms average read seek time and 4.17ms average latency.
WHERE TERABYTE?
Another popular application of terabytes is for NAS .ie, Network Attached Storage is the name given to network storage which facilitates centralized access to data and centralized data storage facilities for heterogeneous clients. Simply put, this means NAS is an array of hard disks including multi disk RAID systems along with software’s to map file locations on the network attached device. Within the storage network, it is possible to set user priorities using a web browser. The NAS is set up with its own network and not attached to the main server. This system of storage reduces the burden on the main network server and provides access and storage facilities to NAS network users.
1 TB drives means more space for network attached storage. This means facility for storage of about 250,000 songs, 350 movies, 1000 hrs of video, 333,300
photos, or more than 500 full version games. With the introduction of such advanced storage systems, it is possible to erase data storage limits.
TERABYTE Hard Drives – A Challenge Data Recovery Software companies?
No Doubt, terabyte hard drives is a revolution in the scenario of hard drive capacity. However, with every revolution there is a darker side of it. These high capacity hard drives would be practically storing tons of valuable data in it, and the hard failure or any software malfunction can make the hard drive data inaccessible. Leading to data Loss …
So we would be needing data recovery, and we know that nearly all the data recovery company in the market are recovering data through scanning the hard drive sector & block wise. So with this large hard drive space, Data Recovery Software would be needing a large amount of time to scan the hard drives and recover the files. So scanning high capacity hard drives is a challenge for Data Recovery companies. They have to come up with some new technology to face the challenge. This would be going to more tougher as there are many more companies who are coming up with more high capacity hard drives.
Stellar Information, A data recovery company, having an experience of around 15 years in the field of data recovery have came in front with his new updated software which uses very advance algorithm to perform high speed scanning. The scanning speed of Stellar Phoenix Windows Data recovery Software – A Window Partition Recovery utility is more than 100% faster than any other data recovery software available in the market.
WHAT NEXT after 1 TB?
While we are yet to come to terms with the terabyte, computer scientists are doing massive research and development to enable larger storage platforms. Efforts are underway to create new data storage platforms having capacities upwards of 1000 TB. One Indian scientist is working on making DVD's which can be coated with a light -sensitive protein and can store up to 50 terabytes (about 50,000 gigabytes) of data.
Going by these estimates, it is imaginable that data densities are soon set to reach unthinkable proportions and data recovery services will definitely become more complex by the day. Data backups and recovery services need an overhaul for
this. But one thing is sure….no matter what…….the terabyte drives have definitely given us what we desperately needed-- a peek into future of data storage technology. It is time we prepare ourselves for larger data storage and efficient data recovery methods.
