iPhone 4s (Siri)


iPhone 4s(Siri) is going to revolutionize the way we interact with our phones and people
It can hear and understand what you ask and provides you a closest possible solution.

Ask Siri "Will it be sunny this weekend in Miami" and Siri gives you the weekend forecast.


She can send text messages for you.
You just have to say who it is for and the message. Siri writes and sends your text.

You don’t have to type in, just ask Siri to remind you.
            Just Say ‘Remind me to pick up my Kids from school at 3pm’ and she sets a reminder for you




Can somebody steal my passwords ?

Yes, Its possible now ( In fact, this stuff was around since 15 years or more ) and you don't even get to know if your PC / Laptop has one planted and the hacker (may be your spouse / room mate / Parents ... ) may have received captured information through email. This crooked software is called the Key Logger software.

Googling for 'key loggers' would result in many paid software and some allow it for trial and the trial period is enough to steal the required information to gain access to your personal information and you don't even get to know about it. Information captured include what ever you type using your physical keyboard ( like your credit card numbers, passwords etc)

There are many kinds of them like user mode, kernel mode key loggers ... not going into details, Let's see how we can prevent theft.

1) Do not use internet center / cyber cafe pc's for bank or internet transactions.

2) Use Software key pads. Most of the Internet banking websites use this aka Virtual keyboard.



3) Always use Anti-spyware softwares and scan your shared PC / Laptops at least once in a week or less.

4) And the.... Anti-virus software definitions need to be up to date.
