Acer, Lenovo to launch quad-core tablets - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "Acer and Lenovo are planning to launch quad-core tablet computers running Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest flavor of Google’s operating system for mobile devices.
Tech site DigiTimes cited sources who said the new devices are to be launched in the first quarter of 2012 to compete against Samsung and Asustek’s Eee Pad Transformer Prime.
But DigiTimes said its sources also noted competition over the quad-core tablet PCs will be difficult as these quad-core devices will only see improvements over their performance and design, but will still feature the same concept as their dual-core predecessors.

Printers vulnerable to remote hacking, researchers claim - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "Millions of printers worldwide are vulnerable to hack attacks that range from identity theft to taking control of entire networks, researchers at Columbia University claimed.

Google Secure Search shuts out SEO scammers - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere
Google Secure Search shuts out SEO scammers - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "Google has started securing its search with a twofold process that can potentially shut out scammers who rely on search engine optimization (SEO) to lure victims to their sites.
Computer security firm Trend Micro said Google's new search process effectively keeps SEO scammers in the dark on what search terms are popular.
"(B)lackhat SEO sites won’t be able to access those stats either. It’s very useful for them to know what search term they have successfully hijacked. This is bad for them also for statistical purposes. When these sites receive visits from search engine visitors, they will have no idea what search sent them there. They won’t have a clear idea which search terms work and which don’t, so they are essentially in the dark," it said.
