Submission + - Scam autopsy: EBay auction phishing (kelvinwong.ca)

brainhum writes: "Unlike the email-based scams most of us get everyday, this phishing attack starts as an authentic eBay auction. Loading the auction page (which is served by eBay) causes an embedded Flash object to redirect you to the scammer-controlled page. A low-priced 'Buy it now' auction provides incentive to submit credentials to the phishing site. This is a short blog article on it with screen caps. Mirrored here as well."

Submission + - Citrix to buy XenSource for $500m 1

Penguinisto writes: Apparently Citrix doesn't want to be left out in the cold when it came to Virtualization.So, it decided to snap up Xen Source in whole, with a combination of cash and stock. Question is, what impact exactly will this have on Linux as a whole? (Xen runs on/under Windows too, but Linux is arguably its biggest playground to date). Also, is this a defensive move on Citrix' part, given Microsoft's development of potential VMWare and Xen competitor Viridian?

Submission + - The Pixo Secret: iPods Run OS X and Always Have.

Redrum writes: Everyone thinks that Apple's iPod runs an OS called Pixo, and that the iPhone ushered in a brand epoch based on OS X. That myth has been busted: the iPod runs Apple's own Mach/BSD kernel, and Pixo is only used as a graphics layer. Daniel Eran outlines the story behind Pixo and what OS X means for Apple. It's no joke; the story was confirmed by Tim Monroe, a member of Apple's QuickTime engineering team as is easy to verify yourself: Those OS X iPods? They're Already Here! Pixo, ARM, and the Mac OS.

Submission + - Ask X - New UI for Ask.com

ReadWriteWeb writes: "Ask.com is testing out a new Ajax powered 3-pane UI called Ask X, which is similar to the Ask City site launched a couple of weeks ago. As well as a new UI, Ask X introduces video search to the feature set. Ask.com attempts to differentiate itself from the likes of Google through its focus on topic clusters and "smart answers". They generally try to deliver a range of useful, topical information in its first page of results, so doing it over 3 panes and with some Ajax magic seems an appropriate solution."
