Security firm
Panda
Labs has detected a worm which attempts to spoof
Google. P2Load.A spreads
via P2P networks using the file-sharing programs
Shareaza and
Imesh.
The worm copies itself to the shared directory of these programs as an
executable file called 'Knights of the Old Republic 2', referring to a computer
game related to the Star Wars saga.
When P2Load.A is run, it displays an error message informing the user that a
file does not exist and offers it for download. The download modifies the user's
start page, showing advertising and spoofing the identity of Google.

Nintendo unveils "freehand-style" controller for Revolution game console |

Tokyo (Japan) - With Nintendo's
upcoming game console, the 'Revolution', Nintendo introduced a
controller that is far different than traditional two-handed
controllers. Resembling a one-handed tv remote-control, the new
controller has built-in tilt and movement sensors enabling players to
really get into the action. Is this a bold move for Nintendo or will it
bomb like Nintendo's Power Glove of 1998?
The sleek ivory white controller looks
like a wand and contains the traditional directional controls and
several buttons. Sensors embedded in the controller and placed near the
television will detect where the controller is pointing and the
orientation. Players will theoretically be able to intuitively use the
controller to shoot a gun, swing a bat, or even use as a drum. The wireless controller will also "rumble", much like other game console controllers.
