VITO Technology releases Winterface – a major breakthrough in the world of Windows Mobile interface. Winterface is the Next Generation Shell for Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it.

As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen.  It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. – all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins.

“Google seems so friendly,” she said. “I don’t understand why they don’t do a better job protecting our data.”

Yes, these were the words of a lady whose data was stolen online. All she did was shopped for tickets online; make payments for her car loan. A keylogger logged her data and sent it online. Heck, it didn’t leave her online conversation with her friends.  She wasn’t aware of the keylogger.

After some months,  the authorities were made aware of the breach and the data was taken down from there server(s) , but there was one place where the data was still avaliable. Our best friend, Google :!:

“Google, like all search engines, is a reflection of the content and information that’s available on the Internet,” he said. “We actively work to keep users informed on how they can stay safe online.”

In this case, however, Google did remove the cached pages, but it took the company two tries to delete them.

A US judge has ordered Google to expose to Viacom the video-viewing habits of everyone who has ever used YouTube in a decision condemned by the Internet giant and privacy advocates.

Viacom charges Google, which bought YouTube in 2006, acts as a willing accomplice to Internet users who put clips of Viacom’s copyrighted television programs on the popular video-sharing website.

“We are disappointed the court granted Viacom’s overreaching demand for viewing history,” Google senior said.

Last month, privacy organizations wrote to Google CEO Eric Schmidt asking the company to link to its privacy policy from its home page. Including the link on the home page is good practice — and also mandated by California law, the organizations said.

On Thursday, Google acceded to the request, putting the word “Privacy” at the foot of its home page and linking it to its privacy information pages. The link replaces the company’s name next to the copyright notice, leaving the number of words on the home page unchanged.

Google had previously declined to make the change to its home page, saying that users appreciate the lack of clutter there. Microsoft and Yahoo both include privacy links on their search pages, while Ask.com added a link to its privacy policy on June 18.

The order to remove the company’s name to make way for the privacy link came right from the company’s founders, Vice President of Search Products and User Experience Marissa Mayer explained in a posting to the company’s blog.

To all of my friends and visitors residing and belonging to US, I wish them a very happy holiday.
