Nokia, in a blog post, offered an apology for a gaffe in their recent media conference for the launch of their new flagship Lumia 920 smartphone. The video clip screened was taken to be filmed using the new phone but a reflection in a window revealed that it was shot using another type of camera.

Nokia admitted that they should have put a disclaimer stating this fact. The video was supposed to show the kind of quality using OIS, which is what the Lumia 920 would have, although it was not shot with the phone yet.

Nokia has been struggling to keep their market share but with this gaffe, which angered people, it is yet another blow to the company.

Apple’s bull run on the Wall Street to US$664.75 a share has helped the company become the most valuable in history to about US$622 billion, surpassing Microsoft’s 1999 record of $619 billion.

The surge in Apple share price came on rumour that Apple is poised to release new versions of Apple iPhone, iPad and Apple TV devices. How many people are actually waiting for these, even though they already have one? What’s the point of chasing after technology when you know this is a game that you cannot win?

Of course, the clear cut winner is Apple!

Two alleged hackers have been arrested in Korea for their part in hacking into Korea’s second largest mobile service provider, KT, and taking the residential date of almost half its registered users. It is reported that with this information, the hackers could have sold the it for $800,000.

It’s scary to think that when we are registered with a company for a certain service, it is so easy to have our information compromised.

Recently, I purchased something on the internet with my credit card. After a short while, it so happened that I had to change my credit card, with a new number. Ah, I was quite relieved that this new number is not logged anywhere on the internet! Wait a minute… it is. On mt online banking account!
