I hope it’s not another Segway.

It looks like they are exhibiting at the CES. Maybe we will know soon what it is. If you know place a comment, or if you have a guess, place a comment.

Look! Lego is coming out with a new robot kit.

The problem with signature based virus scanners is that they take a reactive approach to security. Only after a new virus is discovered to signatures become available, so there is always a window of vulnerability. As virii become more sophisticated and propagate faster, this lag becomes more of an issue.

This Report on Robin Good’s blog tells of an Indian company that is planning to release a heuristic virus scanner.

A heuristic virus scanner is one that recognizes virus like behavior rather than depending on signatures. It will be interesting to see if more companies start to take this approach to virus detection in the future.
