SwingAcademy.com - Golf Swing Analysis Software for Mac
Jun 22, 2008 -- SwingAcademy.com (http://www.swingacademy.com) is the
recognized leader in online golf swing analysis software.
Until recently, Mac users were left out of the golf swing analysis market
because all desktop-based application providers decided to focus entirely
on the Windows platform.
There are numerous posts in various forums from disappointed Mac users who
are looking for analysis software that they can use on their systems.
SwingAcademy recognized that this market was being ignored and set out to
create a powerful and user-friendly suite of tools that is platform
independent.
So at long last, Mac users can now video-tape their golf swings and analyze
them on their own computers.
Our software suite includes:
Self-Analysis - Analyze your own swing
Side-By-Side Analysis - Compare any two swings in our extensive library
Distance Learning - Analyze someone else's swing or have someone analyze yours
Discussion Boards - Chat with other members about the game
We invite all...

OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer Trojan Horse
OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer Trojan Horse
Attempts to Take Control of Macs
Exploit: OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer
Discovered: June 20, 2008
Risk: Low
Description: A Trojan horse has been found in the wild masquerading as
program for Mac OS X called "PokerGame". The Trojan in question is a shell
script encapsulated in an application, and is distributed in a 65 KB Zip
archive; unzipped, it is 180 KB.
The Trojan horse, when run, activates ssh on the Mac on which it is
running, then sends the user name and password hash, along with the IP
address of the Mac, to a server. It asks for an administrator's password
after displaying a dialog saying, "A corrupt preference file has been
detected and must be repaired." Entering the administrator's password
enables the program to accomplish its tasks. After gaining ssh access to a
Mac, malicious users can attempt to take control of them, delete files,
damage the operating system, or much more.

SANYO Launches New 4LCD Technology in Projector
CHATSWORTH, CA and INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV. -- June 17, 2008 -- SANYO, one
of the world's largest manufacturers of LCD and DLP projectors introduces
their latest optical engine, called 4LCD, which adds a Color Control Device
to conventional 3LCD (red/green/blue) systems. The first projector to
launch this innovative new 4LCD engine is the PLC-XP200L. The additional
Color Control Device in the 4LCD optical engine allows the PLC-XP200L to
automatically control the amount of yellow light in the image, producing
higher luminosity with improved color accuracy and clarity.
The demand for even brighter projectors continues to come from the field as
systems integrators are asked to install video displays in extremely large
venues such as convention halls, conference rooms, auditoriums and houses
of worship. However, as brightness levels increase on 3LCD projectors,
there is a reverse effect in color reproduction. Colors become noticeably
washed out, lacking vibrancy and realism.

SociaLink version 1.0: Dreamweaver Extension
Lexington, KY, June 2, 2008 -- RNSoft President & CEO Ronald Northrip today
announced the immediate availability of SociaLink version 1.0, a
Dreamweaver extension for placing Web 2.0 Social Bookmarking tools into
webpage layouts.
Social Bookmarking websites like Digg or Del.icio.us allow readers to tag,
store and share content that they find interesting -- and if that is your
content it can lead to a lot more traffic. And not just lots of clicks, but
quality readers who are likely to get more from your site and give more in
return.
All you need to do is give those readers a little button on your page for
them to click on. You can make a link, right? Well actually its a little
piece of javascript. A different javascript for each social bookmarking
site. With different parameters for each one. Not to mention opening in a
new window or not. And they take up a lot of room in your layout, too.
But it doesn't have to be that hard. SociaLink can add all that
functionality to your web...

SpamSieve has been updated to version 2.7
SpamSieve has been updated to version 2.7.
SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam
filtering to popular e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks
like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book
and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse them
with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers adapt to
their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train it
with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only
marks them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail.
SpamSieve works with any number of mail accounts, of whatever types
are supported by your e-mail software (e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).
When using IMAP, SpamSieve on your Mac can even keep the spam off your
iPhone.
This update includes the following enhancements:
* Now requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
