On December 13 in Apple App Store appeared the first application for iPhone developed by Microsoft.

The program has been named Seadragon Mobile. It is designed for viewing and zooming images on a relatively small iPhone screen. An application can display on the same page all images and allow zooming parts of them. Seadragon Mobile is based on a technology used in the Microsoft Photosynth product. The package, allow to form three-dimensional model based on a set of conventional images. The Corporation noted that the Seadragon Mobile application provides an equally easy way to view images on the small screen of the communicator, as if you worked with the ordinary personal computer. It also reported that Microsoft is developing for the iPhone a Tellme version. This application will allow owners of Apple smartphones to search the Internet using voice queries.

"Dr. Web" warns about a new Trojan - Locker.8, which, after penetrating into the computer block access to user data.

Locker.8 is available as a file of size of about 2 megabytes packed using ASPack. Immediately after the activation of the Trojan, it demonstrates an image of Creative Suite 4 serial numbers generator, which at real does not have its functionality. This, according to the "Doctor Web", suggests that Locker.8 can spread under the guise of hacking utilities for Adobe Systems products.

After running, Locker.8 rename files and folders located in all sections but the system so that their new names do not conform to standard rules for naming directories in Windows. The contents of the files and folders will not be changed. In addition, the Trojan blocks access to "My Documents" and shortcuts on the desktop.

Next, the Trojan creates on the hard drive its copies under the name answer.exe. When you run the file it displays a proposal to appeal to Locker.8 creator for information on how to unlock.

"Dr. Web" strongly recommends against doing it and propose a special tool to unlock the files.

In the game industry there are designers, good designers and... Tim Schafer. He can be put in a line with such names as Sid Meier, Peter Moline and John Carmack. Such men are usually no more than one at tens of millions, and they drive the industry with gigant steps to the future.

Speaking of Tim can be endlessly, but better to call it major projects: Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and Psychonauts. Impressive, huh? His current work - Brutal Legend - followed without exception.

"In Brutal Legend you'll go into a world you haven't gone into before, which is combinations of every single thing I've ever thought was cool in the world altogether in one place," Tim Schafer said. Brutal Legend is a truly unique project. Judge for yourself: we'll play for Eddie Riggs, Rights, a person crazy on "heavy metal", got in the world based ... on the "metal" legends. Once upon a universe governed by the wise rock musicians, but one ugly day, this world has been captured by demons, all looking as of covers of power-metal teams. The army, led by our Eddie should get rid of the demons and free the world. Of course, such a game can't be without semi-nude "metal" girls fans ... And now the BIG news: Electronic Arts decided to take Tim under his wing and publish the game on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in autumn 2009.
