The iPhone is a wholly remarkable device, but like most cellphones, it has a major weakness: you can't rely on it for heavy writing. You can't exactly write your thesis on the thing. One developer addressed this weakness by developing RemoteNote, which allows you to remotely edit notes on your iPhone (or even your iPod Touch) from your PC - or any device with a web browser. Details in the full article.

The good folks over at Blizzard's official World of Warcraft forums have provided a very useful checklist of how to avoid keyloggers who are even sneaky enough to hack Blizzard posters. Check out the tips enumerated by WoW forum poster Lythria, and you better take heed - WoW player or no - since the following preventive measures can be used for securing your most personal information online.

Being careful with the links before you click on them is very important, as many people fall prey into clicking links that activate keylogging scripts. One of the things you can do is to make sure the link will lead to a well-known site (such as Photobucket) by hovering on the link and checking out the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

Another thing to do is installing some browser add-ons that help prevent the running of scripts, such as Mozilla Firefox's "NoScript".

Lythria will update her post from time to time as more ways of detecting/avoiding keyloggers are found, so its better to check the Via link to catch the updates yourself.

 

Need even quicker access to The Warcraft Armory? If your sudden affinity to task shortcuts has you drooling for faster access and searches over Blizzard's main database for World of Warcraft, then quick add-on solutions are available to your perusal. Actually, it's available with conditions: if you've got Mozilla.org's Firefox browser as your Internet surfing tool.

Though there are many search engine add-ons available at Mycroft search engine dev page for Mozilla, there's just a few that function well. One for example was coded by a player for World of Warcraft, though it seems Blizzard may have their own official version in the works.

"It's actually being worked on at the moment, keep an eye on the armory page. It should be going up within a day or two," said community manager Drysc, keeping care not to drool on the poster below. Okay, we were kidding about the last part.

Aside from that single statement though, there isn't much else to go by, so we'll just have to wait for developer updates in a few days or so. In the meantime, you may want to try out this WoW player-contributed search engine add-on, provided via the Read link below.

The PlayStation 3 is once again adding another set of clothes to its already impressive wardrobe. Sony's next gen home video game console will reportedly be present at the Office 2.0 Conference to showcase ways to harness its power in an office setting.

The PS3 will be used to power the flat panel displays at the Office 2.0 Conference as a proof of concept. According to a press release we received today, the console will be used to show the conference's agenda and special announcements by fetching pages from the Web over a Wi-fi network.

"We are always looking for innovative devices that enable office productivity," said Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio CEO and producer of the Office 2.0 Conference. "The PS3 running Firefox on Linux is a perfect example of a device that empowers technology in the living room."

A video game console being used for office productivity. Who'da thunk it? The Office 2.0 Conference runs from September 5 until September 7 in San Francisco, CA.

 

With Samus Aran's debut on Nintendo's latest console still a few days away, it's not hard to imagine the hype amongst fans to finally see their beloved blonde goddess in armor back on their TV screens where she belongs, following their every whim and fancy through their controllers.

However, through a cunning Firefox workaround, those same worshippers of the blue-suited beauty have found proof that the red carpet may be rolling out for Samus sooner than we thought, in the form of Metroid and Super Metroid coming over to the Wii's Virtual Console. Yours truly presents Exhibit A and B - namely, the two screenshots placed above this article.

One of the first games to introduce a nonlinear game experience, as well as have a female character as the main protagonist, Metroid harkens Samus fans to the time when they first stepped into her shoes to fight the metroid menace. Super Metroid is yet another blast to the past, this time with improved visuals and gameplay mechanics - as well as epic boss fights that had you at the edge of your seat.

Here's hoping that Nintendo really has these two great titles in store for Wii owners everywhere - there can never be enough of the legendary Samus Aran, even with her own title on the way, as well as her appearance on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Developments as they happen, so keep it locked right here!
