A malicious worm is attacking iPhone users. And it’s pretty serious, as the worm can act like a botnet. The iPhone is also making news in South Korea this month, as regulators recently granted Apple a license to operate location-based services in the country. Data security and management solutions company Paragon Software Group recently announced the release of their latest disaster recovery, system migration and virtualization software program. The company also announced the release of System Upgrade Utilities 2010, designed for streamlined migration from Windows XP or Vista to the new Windows 7 while still allowing the user to keep their old system. Storage specialist Cloud Engines is releasing the latest version of Pogoplug. Oracle and SpringSource have teamed up to propose a new Eclipse project called "Enterprise Modules."

Apple reportedly refused to fix a few customers’ Macs, arguing that the owners' smoking around the machines made the electronics a bio-hazard to Apple employees. Whether or not Apple’s technicians were truly at risk, photos and comments from the online community suggest that smoking around desktops and laptops can indeed physically damage the insides of the devices.

However, a powerful pair of trends--driven almost as aggressively by Microsoft as by the rest of the industry--are working to expand the viability not only of Linux but of Mac OS X, Solaris and other platforms yet unknown or uninvented: a shift to Web-based applications and "WaaR," or Windows as a Runtime.

While consumers may love the Apple iPhone, operators should keep their eyes open about this attractive, trendy smartphone, says a report from Strand Consult, which proposes to debunk 10 so-called myths about the iPhone.
News
News Analysis: The iPhone might be the leader in the mobile phone market, but that success won't be enough to stop Android's rise. Google's platform is simply too compelling and too appealing to consumers not to capture significant market share.
News
Verizon Wireless files a 53-page memorandum responding to AT&T's request to have five of Verizon's ads pulled. AT&T contends that consumers might mistakenly interpret the ads as saying AT&T has no coverage at all in its non-3G coverage areas.
News
News Analysis: Apple might be a hardware company that turns big profits on computers and gadgets, but that doesn't mean that issues won't arise forcing it to license Mac OS X. Change is constant in the computer industry and even Apple can't say it will never change its mind about retaining exclusive control of the Mac OS platform.

NEW YORK—Apple's new store on New York City's Upper West Side opened at 10 a.m. on Nov. 14. Perhaps buoyed by strong earnings results over the past several quarters despite the economic recession, Apple is engaging in an aggressive retail strategy that will see 40 to 50 stores opening worldwide in 2010, according to published reports.
Like Apple's flagship location on Fifth Avenue, the Upper West Side storefront features a minimalist design, a substantial underground section and a variety of the latest Apple products on display, such as the newly tweaked MacBooks and 21.5-inch iMacs. Snapped over the few hours following the store's opening, the following image gallery shows how Apple's brand is capable of pulling in crowds, even without any special offers or promotions.

News
Apple's rumored tablet PC received another jolt of scuttlebutt when the blogosphere uncovered a patent application submitted by Apple for a "pen-based input system" that would facilitate handwriting on a touchscreen. Previous patent applications have suggested that the tablet PC, still unconfirmed by Apple, will offer a versatile touchscreen. Despite Apple's customary silence, both the media and potential Apple partners have been circulating rumors and ideas about the device for months.

End users may not immediately see the improvements in Mac OS X, but they will quickly notice an increase in productivity--all without significant IT impact. Snow Leopard is an evolutionary step that speeds up common tasks and tightens the fit and finish of the now entirely 64-bit based operating system. The upgrade also adds built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server, but it's limited to Service Pack 1 Rollup 4.
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2 comes at no cost and will be relatively easy to deploy. That said, end users will find little in the way of improvements to the productivity suite, with the "biggest" changes focused on PowerPoint.
REVIEW: On Day 2 of testing the iPhone 3.0 software updgrade, eWEEK Labs is finding itself falling in love all over again with the iPhone. This has everything to do with the updated software's search, new landscape mode capabilities and call history improvements.
REVIEW: The free upgrade to iPhone OS adds cut-and-paste capabilities, landscape mode for e-mail, and the ability to find and remotely wipe devices. However, in preliminary tests, restoring a wiped device was easier said than done.
REVIEW: No-cost RoamBi transfers data imported into a hosted service to the iPhone, displayed in concise, easy-to-navigate charts.
