iPhone OS Soon To Allow Multitasking Opera Mini 5 Adds Android Phones FTC Probes Google's AdMob Plans Verizon Expects 4G To Arrive Early CA Expands Cloud with Nimsoft Deal Botnet Cut Off, But Victory Short-Lived Version 4.0 of the operating system for Apple's iPhone, iPod touch, and the forthcoming iPad will represent a major overhaul and finally allow multitasking, according to the latest Apple rumors. Opera Software has launched an Android version of the company's Opera Mini 5 mobile browser that promises to significantly improve page loading and speed on compatible smartphones. The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly digging deeper into Google's planned AdMob acquisition, asking for sworn statements from the search giant's competitors and advertisers. Verizon Wireless hopes to debut its first 4G smartphone in the middle of next year. The new handset will debut about three to six months after its Long-Term Evolution network launches. IT software behemoth CA has acquired its fourth company, Nimsoft, as it moves to provide its emerging enterprise customers and managed-service providers with cloud-computing support. The sudden takedown of an Internet provider thought to be helping spread one of the most promiscuous pieces of malware out there appeared to succeed, but the victory proved to be short-lived.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   iPhone OS Soon To Allow Multitasking   Opera Mini 5 Adds Android Phones FTC Probes Google's AdMob Plans Purchase would dominate mobile ads.   FULL STORY Verizon Expects 4G To Arrive Early First Smartphone expected in 2011.   FULL STORY CA Expands Cloud with Nimsoft Deal $350M purchase adds data monitoring.   FULL STORY Botnet Cut Off, But Victory Short-Lived Spammers reconnect at whiplash pace.   FULL STORY Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Computer gamers are increasingly finding that there's a serious side to their virtual fun: their hard-earned virtual objects are being stolen from them, and in some cases their entire game as well. Graffiti? There's an app for that. The old-school practice of American graffiti may have met its match in some high-tech programs designed to report and remove the blight from city and private property. In the past five years, counterfeit computer chips, routers, and other electronic products have become an epidemic, with fake gear costing the IT industry an estimated $100 billion a year. The recovery is losing steam, with the U.S. economy growing at half the brisk 5.9 percent pace at which the government estimated it grew last quarter. Was the year-end growth spurt a one-hit wonder? Buy a new Win 7 computer, and you'll likely be in for some surprises -- both pleasant and unpleasant. On the unpleasant side will be the many applications PC makers preinstall on their computers. A rash of new laptops set for display at the CeBIT computing trade show underlines the growing shift in the market to tinier machines with fancier features such as 3-D graphics and touch screens.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects   Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Counterfeit gear is now an 'epidemic.'   FULL STORY Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Growth slows after year-end spurt.   FULL STORY Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Less is more sometimes in computing.   FULL STORY Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Like touch screens and 3-D graphics.   FULL STORY Enterprise I.T.
