Admittedly, there is only so much money one can make off television, since all the fat paychecks are in cinematography, but whoever said this for the first time probably did not take into account American Idol. Just to be a host on the popular singing competition is a highly lucrative job, as Ryan Seacrest can testify, since Fox just tripled his salary, offering him no less than $15 million for each of the three upcoming seasons of the show, the HollywoodReporter says. Granted, this are small pickings as compared with the kind of money British music mogul Simon Cowell stands to make as judge on the same show (a reported $144 million for a single season), but it’s still good news for Seacrest. The star, known as one of the busiest people in the industry of television and radio, deserved the raise, fans are saying, and Fox was a long time coming with it, mostly investing in the judges than in the host. “The American Idol host has closed a new three-year deal with Idol!

HTTP:: Devs Successfully Put Windows on iPhone
--------
The developers over at the iSoft team were able to run Windows 95 on an iPhone with the help of the Bochs emulator and a Windows 95 disc image. A video showing the hack is available. The demonstration takes place on both the actual iPhone, as well as on the Mac OS X iPhone simulator provided for free with the Apple iPhone SDK (software development kit). The video shows that performance is ridiculously slow, starting with five- to ten-minute-long boot times, while mouse movement is literally a drag. A copy of Windows XP was also tested, although performance was even worse (obviously). The developers say they are anxiously awaiting to test Windows XP on an iPhone 3G S. The device, as fans should know, boasts a 600 MHz processor, and double the RAM of its predecessor, which may just enable the hack to run Windows to the point that it can be used for... well, use.

The gaming industry has quite a few figure heads in terms of video game characters, which have pushed the whole genre forward through the adventures that they have been on. One such famous character is Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, which made history during the early years of gaming.Sadly, in recent years, things haven't been so good for the blue hedgehog, as Sega's resident Sonic Team hasn't made the best titles for it. But, fortunately for the speedy animal, the developers collaborated with Dimps and delivered Sonic Rush, one of the first Sonic titles for Nintendo's hugely successful DS handheld platform. The game was released on November 15, in North America, while the PAL region received it on November 18, and Japanese fans got a taste of Sonic on November 23, all in 2005. Even though the blue hedgehog wasn't popular those days, the top-notch gameplay and graphics of the title made it a best-seller and prompted some big critical acclaim from reviewers.Here are some of its !

According to security researchers from Cisco, vishing attacks are increasingly more common and complex. Recent incidents involve fake mass alerts sent via SMS, which instruct residents of certain areas to call a rogue 800 number and provide their financial information. One of the highlights of Cisco's 2009 Midyear Security Report, which is to be released today, is that, "Criminals are targeting people who use online banking with well-designed, localized text message scamsâ€"and they're leaving virtually no trail." This refers to recent attacks that combine "vishing," phishing performed over the phone, with "smishing," phishing via SMS messages. The trick starts with an SMS message warning of unusual account activity being sent to large groups of people. The alert instructs receivers to call a phone number in order to solve the alleged problem. An interesting aspect of these schemes is localization, the messages masquerading as alerts from regional banks and credit unions!

Facebook has now surpassed Yahoo and AOL, rising from 3 hours and 12 minutes in May, while Yahoo stagnated at 3:15 hours and AOL dropped from 3:37 hours to 2:43.

Social networks are known to be a huge timesink for Internet users but now we have the numbers to prove it. New data from Nielsen shows users spending 4 hours and 39 minutes on Facebook in June, making it the most popular destination for Internet users in the US when it comes to time spent on the site. The social network is also the sixth most visited site in the US with a little over 87 million unique visitors last month. Facebook has now surpassed Yahoo and AOL, rising from 3 hours and 12 minutes in May, while Yahoo stagnated at 3:15 hours and AOL dropped from 3:37 hours to 2:43. The social network has been undergoing several changes in its design and especially in its philosophy, which has seen a major paradigm shift. From the “walled garden†approach, which was an integral part of the huge growth Facebook has seen in the last years, the company is moving to a much more open one, allowing and even encouraging its users to share more publicly. While it may be Twit!
